I was in mid of the temple run. Placed a good pair of boots in the smith bench to get my 30 quality and whoop.. Disconnected from server. My lovely boots gone. Do not use any benches outside your hideout this weekend.

Edit: thanks for replies! Now i know that i can take that bench as an item to use later.

That is terrible to hear. Similar thing happened to my friend. Support doesn’t help in cases where gear is lost. They don’t rebuild / restore the item to you he was told.

Yep, GGG have a strict policy of no item/character restoration, regardless of the reason.

If you might not know it: instead of putting your stuff in there you can “take” the currency and do the crafting in your hideout.

Is it possible to somehow convert bench into currency or you are taking about buing one from market? I’m still new to poe

When you open the bench, there is a little button which says “take”. You press that and you get a currency which toes exactly the same as the bench does. You can then either use the currency or exchange it at ange like all other currencies.

I’ve run over 200 temples and I had no idea about this lol. Was wondering how people were getting architect orbs and stuff. I feel dumb!

I found that out by accident. Misclicked and the currency dropped…

Why not take the currency for later use.

Never seen that option. How to do it? Edit: figured it out. Thank you!

Next time you do your temple slow down and look when you click the altar.

Sorry to hear about your gear. Saw another fellow exile that has lost his bow in the same way.

I think yesterday’s patch has broken some stuff, I just lost a Full juiced amanamu map to a disconnect. Different from the usual “DC”, the message was “The game has lost connection to the realm”. Logged back and portal was closed, “map attempted”.

No es el parche, es que GGG usa los mismos servidores para PoE 1 y 2, y ayer inicio liga el 1, y están los servidores como todas las ligas fatal las primeras semanas de liga, sea del 1 o del 2.

Early in the league, I had the temple eat a ring I was upgrading with one of the Exalted Benches, the server crashed, and when I logged back in the ring was just gone from my inventory.

The next time I entered the temple with that character, my ring was waiting for me in the first bench I opened up.

So don’t give up, you may see your boots again.

As for taking the orb or upgrade currency from the bench to use later, that can’t be done in the temples at lower level, but after a certain point there is an option to take it instead of using the bench on the spot.

Temple disconnect ate my equipment
