My 2nd account is around 5 years old and has all the upgrades on it including GoTY. I just re-started my survivor after deleting him about 3 months ago. I cannot get the summoning stone to appear in inventory after using the /bonus command. I get the weapons but no stone.

I have tried doing quests in case I've missed it, re-starting the game and even tried with my perma-pre he too cannot get the stone although he already had one in his inventory. In the case of the perma-pre I get a message that it was unable to make the bonus weapons he already had - but nothing about the stone.

Have Arenanet changed the rules so that we now need to purchase the 2008 seperate upgrade to get the fire imp? If so, this really sux, as I have had access to it previously and it is supposed to be included with the GoTY edition as stated in the on-line store.

According to the wiki page:

* Purchased a new version of any Guild Wars product in North America and Europe with a Fire Imp on the back of the box.
* Purchased the Guild Wars 2008 Upgrade available in the in-game store or PlayNC.com
* Purchased the 1 Million Edition Upgrade, available only via the in-game store.
* Purchased any version of the Guild Wars game online, via the in-game store or PlayNC.com.

If the above requirements have been met, any character on that account may create the item by typing "/bonus" into the in-game chat window while in a town or outpost. As a bonus item, the Igneous Summoning Stone can be created as many times as desired per account.
If you had access to it before, I see no reason why you shouldn't now.

You are trying to use it with a character below level 20, right? Stupid question, but had to be asked

If you type /bonus on a lvl 20 char, the stone still appears along with all the weapons, but if you double-click it a red message comes up saying "this item cannot be used by lvl 20 characters". But it absolutely appears when typing /bonus on ANY character, regardless of level.

So if it is not appearing on your characters, then there is some other problem.

Just a thought - check all of your inventory. If a bonus item is already in inventory, a new one is not created. Maybe you already have an imp somewhere far in the inventory?

Also, go to character select screen, manage access keys and check what items the account is entitled to.

That's the problem - he has been able to create the stone previously, it's just stopped working now.

What I can think of is if you are running the game with the newest KSmod some inventory icons randomly don't show up, but the item is still there.

I have no mods. I have received the stone before on previous characters - just I cannot get it now.

Just received a reply from Anet ... they say I may need to re purchase the upgrade. On line store won't let me buy it again though as it is already applied to the account.
