This sure seems like a bug of some sort though it is nothing terrible. I was killing a Levithian with my pets and one of the Serpents or Kraken died I think, next thing ya know I have a teal blue sea horse statuette in my backpack. My rune beetle died, then I died (I panic easy and can't think, so I die in those cases... I know I could have survived and prob saved the beetle if I was calm... but that is another story). Then it was just my Nightmare and the Levi both almost dead and the Levi ran off. I gave order to head for shore with two dead and a NM at 1%. I know, this is more than you need to know but it sure was exciting, have to tell the tale.
So the game keeps telling me that I can't access the statuette. Even when I lock it down in my house it says I can't access it and it says "turned off". Is there something I need to do to enable it? It is on my front step (tower next to WPA GH) waiting for examination, if needed.
Oh and this is how bad I panic, I could not think which hot keys were used to raise/lower anchor so that is why NM almost died too. They are ez, bottom of number keypad that I use for ALL boat commands. 0 is up and . is down, yet I could not think of where they were. So we were stuck at anchor while my noble NM chased the Levithian away.... AND we came back to kill the bugger too. If only it would drop something useful each time.
