Game needs some kind of a spectre bank

The new spectres are cool!

What's not cool is anytime you unequip your helmet is how they disappear.

I think it's cool to have rare spectres that can die and you can't get them back if they died in battle, I think that's a pretty cool concept.

But I don't think it's cool that you lose them by taking out the gem, switching gear.

The last time I accidentally lost 10 dex and it unequipped the helm where the spectre 4L is. Thankfully they dropped, but that was in my hideout and I was able to get one of them back, the other ones got removed by the wand trigger that I forgot to take out first damnit because I wasn't expecting to do that and panic'd and tried to resummon them too fast and forgot to take off the wand so it doesn't trigger.

Then I tried to intentionally drop them in hideout to upgrade the spectre gem to a 21/20 that I got. Did it all carefully and everything this time, they didn't drop the spectres on the ground this time. No corpse to be found. So RIP all perfect spectres in SSF.

Then the next time I wanted to switch one of the spectres that I had, so this time I went to the blood aqueducts, had it all prepared carefully with removing the wand, unequip the gem, spectres didn't drop on the ground. RIP again.

Tried that again in hideout, same thing didn't drop corpses anywhere.

So then the next time I wanted to change something, try out the menagarie and be careful. Didn't drop the spectres on the ground once again. RIP more perfect spectres in SSF.


I know now to go to an act town if I want to change up my gear in any way, that seems to work.

But why aren't the spectres dropping on the ground when I take out the gem? It did once and then the next 3 times they didn't drop on the ground. There wasn't any corpses on the ground at all.


Now I want to upgrade a charm and switch spectres around. I finally got an onslaught charm with minion damage reduction! nice! I want to use that and get rid of the perfect forest warrior and use a different spectre. But I'm scared to do that, I don't have backups of the other ones I'm using. I used my backups when they didn't drop on the ground trying to change a gem. Now I better wait until I get more backups to change the charm because it seems like there is about a 25% chance for the spectres to actually drop on the ground so I can resummon them if I take out the gem.

So I typed all of that because I wanted to express how frustrating this all is and would a little spectre bank where you can store some spectres, have the traditional ones able to resummon anytime and these affliction ones only are removed from the bank if they die in combat and code it somehow to recognize if they were just removed by taking the gem out. Even if you could store 5 spectres like this, would that break the game? Because this is just bad
