Yup, was a botched macro smash to put the spear in a disk that did not exist to avoid weaponfire spell effects. I even use the block the elements shield maneuver (well, only one rank currently) so should have just ate the spell flares. Usually do, so much for being fancy. You can imagine the dread as all the critter/text flew by. Showed the logs and acknowledged the fuck up on my part. Of course attempts were made at recovery both on my alts and with the character that lost it. They cant seem to find any incidences of it even being potentially recoverable, so figured I'd offer the reward if found (which they haven not been able to determine, as they were able to with my bow.)

Incidentally, they did loot my other spear, and a second shield I had as well, but as mentioned above, those made the recovery list and I was able to find them.
