Just completed Progressive Charm Rank III. Removed my Aug, followed the instructions.. Hand in 5 bot Memory A Crystals, <Give Sporegus your Band of Memory Crystals>, and speak with Sporegus. He says Have those young eyes seen more now? Let me see what you have seen. But no Charm back... and no crystals.
From reading the text... it's almost as if the last two steps are flip flopped. The subtle text wants you to hand in the Band of Memory Crystals before Sporegus asks you to give it. I'm not 100% sure this is a bug or not, but one way or the other the pixels went poof. Can I get a hand in restoring those things? Something of a game changer with no way to go back and recoup them.
