Inventory bug

On my human ranger I had a bug happen today. In my inventory it looks like I was carrying 2 Scout Shortbows. So I sold one off just to find out that I can equip the other. I still have an Icon of one in my inventory, but I can't move it, drop it, sell it, or equip. And I don't have enough cash to buy the original back. Just wondering if there is any way this can be fixed?

Nope its an obsidian bug that seems to pop up from time to time.

My best advice is to never sell anything that you have two of in your inventory unless you're absolutely certain that you have indeed found two.

An easy way to get rid of this is to try dropping an item on top of the possible duplicate. It's a real item if it swaps and a fake if it vanishes. You'll have to do with with all the duplicates to get rid of the fake.

Just so everyone knows and no-one gets duped into selling their main weaopn or something, this definitely does NOT work all the time. I know, I've have it fail on me quite a few times. It does seem to work most of the time, though.

I agree it blows; I fell for it twice, once with a Crusader Blade +1 and once with a Kalem Rapier +2. It really makes you pay more attention to your inventory.

If in doubt, DON'T sell is all I can say. Perhaps logging off and back in would fix it?

Actually that did help for me. After I sold off the original and I still had the fake icon in my inventory I logged out to make the post and when I logged back in it was gone. So it may be something to keep in mind.
