okay, so the Forge has the Salvage and Reforge options.

Salvage only shows you equipment that isn't on a pet, Reforge shows each equip that is on a pet individually and then shows a stack of the ones in your inventory.

However... I'm not... sure it's working quite right.

Helms in our Inventory (note Lightbringers, of which there are 3)


Helms as presented by Salvage (note Lightbringers again: 3)



But then look at Reforge...
Helms (again note Lightbringers...)


It's showing all the Lightbringers we own in that one stack, and not noting which ones are equipped to pets (at all- they don't show up in the list anywhere. No Vinveli, no Bhumigata Nadi, nothing)
Also note the incorrect counts in some of the other stacks- for instance, the Stormcaller stack.
It claims we have 5 in our inventory, and one on Voulges Force- our inventory shot and the Salvage shot show 3, and the mysterious fourth and fifth Stormcaller helms it claims are in our inventory are, in fact, equipped to Prunius Steuriata and Sveltelyse... but Reforge apparently doesn't think so.

Is it possible those pets were on missions when you checked the blacksmith? I've noticed that a pet's equipment sometimes doesn't show up with its name in the reforge menu if the pet is currently on a mission.

Edit: just tested it and all my pets' equipment is showing up correctly in the reforge menu. However, I certainly remember noticing that at some point, some pets did not show up there.

no- consider that we have 16 total Lightbringer helms, with three in our inventory. That leaves 13 on pets, and you can only take six missions at once.
I can also say it's not missions for sure because some of the pets with the helms I never use for missions (Take Bhumigata Nadi, who we listed in the first post, for example; he's never even been on a mission. "Missions Completed: 0".)

I can somewhat replicate this bug. When I remove a piece of equipment from some pets, all pieces of equipment of that type no longer show up as equipped by any pet (this only happens when removing equipment from certain pets, but it's consistently the same pets that cause this to happen)

Should be an easy fix. Just super preoccupied with other things atm.

Remind me in a week if I haven't fixed this.
