Harvesting Tools in Shared Inventory slots unequippable

[shintao.6392]

After the Patch you can no longer equip Harvesting Tools (e.g. Watchwork Mining Pick) from the Shared Inventory slots. You have to move it to the regular inventory to equip it.

[Vash.2386]

Yes I have the same problem. You cannot equip tools from the shared inventory slot. I have to move to normal inventory then equip from there.

[Linken.6345]

Same here =(

[Seth Moonshadow.2710]

Wonder if this is a bug or a new change!? I hope its a bug and that it will get fix. Also, same "bug" here. Can't swap permanent tools from shared slots :( major downer.

[Skekzyz.1458]

Can confirm this bug, very annoying. Sound happens, swap does not.

[Elvarazsollak.5193]

you need to have one free shared slot to be able to swap a harvesting tool from a shared slot

 

edit: sorry I wasn't clear, yes the above is only a workaround, this is definitely a bug introduced with the May 8 update.

[Jwake.7013]

Same here, have heard a few people in my guild it's fine for but a lot having same problem we are. Double clicking or just right clicking and pressing equip doesn't work. Tried on a few different characters. For what it's worth, i have normal tools on my characters so i can swap them when double clicking on my perma tools from the shared slots and then swap them back when I'm done (not sure if that making a difference or not).

[Vash.2386]

I can confirm the one free shared slot works, but who has a spare shared slot to waste on this???

This is a work around and proves it is a bug in my opinion. keeping a shared slot open does allow you to swap the tools. You should not need to have a paid slot be kept free either. Until this patch I have had 100% of my shared slots full and was able to swap. Looking forward to the fix! <3

I can't equip items via double click/right click equip from my shared inventory or the bank without a space in there free so it's not just the shared slots that are affected. It's affecting everything that is "equip-able" for me.

[Vegeta.2563]

This is the most annoying thing ever.

[Esterie.7409]

I am experiencing the same thing. I have a Watchwork Mining Pick (Glyph of the Watchknight), Chop-It-All Logging Axe (Glyph of the Leatherworker), and Consortium Harvesting Sickle (no glyph) in three of my six shared inventory slots. The other three slots are filled with other things. Double clicking any of the permanent gathering tools does not equip them, nor does right clicking them and choosing "Equip", however the item equipping noise still occurs when using either method. Removing any item from the other three shared inventory slots does allow me to double click and right click to equip the gathering tools, however.

I hope this is a bug.

[Rose Solane.1027]

This bug is quite annoying. For the time being I will use the "one free slot" workaround, but I expect this to be solved.

[borgs.6103]

Same here... Was about to post a thread and saw this and felt good to know I'm not alone.

[Gaile Gray.6029]

We're looking into this and should be able to post some info soon.

 

In the meantime, yes, there is a valid workaround: If you have a piece of equipment you wish to equip, either free up a shared inventory slot or move the item you wish to equip to your inventory and equip the item from there.

[Blanche Neige.7241]

Here is abetter workaround : give a free shared slot to everyone until the bug is fixed.

Great! The workaround did the job for this evening. Hopefully a fix is easy and a hot-fix is live tomorrow morning (Europe time) when I log in again :)

No, that's not a workaround, that's a giveaway. ;) I'm sure you're kidding, but I'm gonna say it: No. Just... no. :)

[rook.7283]

Yup.... as of 7:22 PM server time, it is still bugged

~lol~ Yeah, I guess it was worth a few pixels tossed into the mix, eh? ;)

[RainbowGoblins.1578]

Same as title.

Hope it will be fixed soon.

It is not just harvesting tools, it is anything that can be equipped that is in a shared inventory slot.

[Eloc Freidon.5692]

This is what happens when you change icon border thickness.

True, I thinks it's just that farmers were first to notice it that early. And we probably should see about merging with [this](https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/39347/can-no-longer-equip-items-from-shared-inventory-slots#latest "Merge").

 

but the work around of keeping an empty space in shared slots still works. It's just not a happy one, but it works! For now anyway. Iirc it took a day or to to fix it last time also?

 

LOLZ! still Try'n for a free space there Blanche Neige.7241?! =)
