Nope, no spell like that. did it happen at any particular place? Did you check your system window (chat box) to see if someone was, say, behind a wall or round the corner and used /target next item /pickup to take it without you seeing them?

Yes I checked all that,thats why I am writing it here, the only thing is that I can not give you any special detail about it, once it happend in Oja and once in Hya in a corner between buildings.

I think the rule here is simply don't put your items on the floor. And even if it was pickedup by someone else it doesn't always show in system chat even if your close to the item.

Yes, Gharan is right, you dont always see, if someone picked something up. Plus, you (yet) dont drop an item where you want to drop it, like via cursor. It drops more or less randomly on the ground, so its possible, that you dropped your dagger and other things within objects or behind them. I keep dropping ores and stuff at the furnace and most of the times i cannot see it, because its under it.

My suggestion, make a shortcut with "/target next item" and "/pickup". Saved me pretty often from being "robbed"  ;)

Possibly.  Did you drop anything besides the dagger? was there anything already on the ground?

I'd advise filling out a bugreport, try to be as descriptive as possible.

I advise against it. "I put something on the ground and then it got lost" doesn't help the devs one bit.

Yah, especially as there appears to be no connecting factors beyond who it happened to and what was lost. Unless it is a bug with crafted daggers but that would be odd with no one else reporting something similar (yet) and it not affecting other crafted weapon types.

More of a detailed description, of course.  But, it may still be a bug and so should be reported.  The simple fact that it happened in this version could prove useful later on.

May be a bug doesn't mean it needs to go into the BT immediately. Then people like Arianna spend hours trying to figure out more details on something that might have been a player mistake. There's really no detail you can give at this point that warrants a BT entry - if this happens several more times under testing, it'll deserve a spot.

The idea should be that it goes up and if it's not repeatable it's closed.

But then, that's with testers around.
Another point for making the "tester" rank ;)

Testers around? are there not normally around 100 testers in the game?
