I just lost 3 of my scarce Empyrean Echo Shards when unsocketing them at Omicron Ark. I unsocketed one of them from an item and noticed it disappeared; I logged off and back into the character to try again, and lost the remaining 2 shards.

UPDATE: just relogged and happily the 3 Empyrean Echo Shards reappeared on a spot previously occupied by another object (no idea what happened to it, or if it got pushed to a different position).

This was just after a day or two ago, when I sent Galvanic and Terminus Psalms to my storage, where had a full (100) stack and a partial stack of those. When I checked, the full stacks had outright disappeared, as the storage had only kept the partial ones.

Now I'm paranoid and I don't know if I should unsocket/store anything. Your assistance is appreciated.

P.S.: I suspect the unsocket bug has to do with either checking the inventory on the unsocketing interface, or having "favorited" items on the last tabs.
