Item unequipping during server transition

[Dr. B]

When my character hops servers, an item (fighter's helmet) gets unequipped and sent to her inventory. It also gets removed from the quickbar. This may have something to do with the fact that it has a UMD requirement (which my character satisfies).

Update: potions of Barskin, Shield, and Eagle's Splendor, portal lenses, 1d6 Fire Essences, and poisons are also disappearing from my quickslots on server transition, and need to be re-slotted after server-hopping. In addition, random items from my inventory are appearing in my quickslots.

This whole issue began once I took the aforementioned helmet from an assassination target NPC ("Elven Champion", or something) and started wearing it. Not sure whether that's the cause, or if its relation to the assassination system has anything to do with it.

Update: this time I tried unequipping the offending helmet before server hopping, and there was no issue with my quickslots upon transitioning. I believe that the engine is reading my character's helmet as equipped before reading her UMD score, and this might be what is causing it to unequip. Whether and how that's related to the quickslot issues, I don't know.

Sorry for the thread necro, but this still seems to be an issue.

I've character with 38 CHA and 5 hard UMD ranks wearing a DC 15 helmet and the thing just keeps unequipping whenever a relog takes place.
Seems like the CHA bonus gets applied after the fact upon login.
Additionally, it always unequips into the bottom left slot of the first page of the inventory tab shoving any items in those slots to any nearby available inventory space causing a real mess in the inventory (Also, the helmet replaces any such item that might have been quickslotted on the toolbar).

Can this be fixed in some way? Thanks
