For about the last year, I've been using digero's utility for exporting the icons. I've found that it doesn't get 100% of the available icons for me. For instance, this patch, it got two out of the three society icons. Anyone else do this, and if so, have you seen similar "problems"?

it seems to me that I had similar results with that one. I'm not sure what's going on. I know the data exists, because I can see a "hand" token. I just know that several times now, there's been missing icons when I pull up the list.

Have you considered that some icons may have been added in a previous patch? It's not unheard of for data to go in to support new content, but the content itself didn't pass QA in time for a patch, or simply just didn't get finished.

I ran into this awhile back as well. I keep meaning to

get back onto figuring out the issue. But alas no time.


1D6Bh is for Peerless Lockpick

1E6Ch is for Pyreal Pea.


Pyreal Pea I can get the ICON image.

Peerless Lockpick I get nothing.

I have considered it, and have found several items that have been reused.. but several of the items that I'm missing I have not found yet.

Oh, and another piece of information...


I've asked a friend of mine to do the same steps on his pc, and upload a zipped extract of all of the icon's, and two times he's gotten one or two icon's out of his extract that I didn't have in mine. I've also tried to do the extraction on multiple pc's at my house, and they are the same.
