Decaying Tarot cards?

I do a pretty good job keeping all my tarot cards in my decks before logging out, because they decay fast. But lately, I've logged in to find messages from the system saying that my tarot cards are decaying in my absence.

For those not familiar with tarot cards, we have a deck that can hold all our tarot cards without them decaying. They should, as far as I can tell, last forever. When you OUTD a card, it lasts one month unless you IND it again.

Is there something I'm missing here? Do tarot cards decay even in tarot decks? I highly doubt this is a bug, because so far a total of 3 cards have decayed (a Judge, a Hangedman, and a Soulless). Anyone else getting these messages about decaying cards?

A weird question, but are you keeping your decks onhand or in your backpack?

Onhand. I don't see the need to keep them in a pack.

Okay, just wondering because I know items put in a backpack and left on the floor of a shop will decay, though the backpack won't. Hmm... you should BUG it, I'd think? Also, are you sure that these cards are ones that were definately in your deck?

yes. I haven't sparred in weeks (literally) so I would have no reason to outd those kinds of cards.

A deck didn't decay or anything?

Tarot decks never decay, I've had the same 3 decks forever. My only guess at this point is that the messages were sent to the wrong person. I checked my decks and the number of Soulless seems to be the same as I had before.

I haven't gotten any tarot decay messages.

Tarot cards do not decay in decks.

The only times I've had cards decay on me was when I kept them in my inventory or pack (mostly hermits or soulesses).

Don't know about the other two, but I can explain the Soulless. It had seven rubs on Ethelon so before I logged out I handed it to you at the pool.
Shamarah2006-08-12 19:37:38
Maybe you got the other two randomly by acquisitio or something and didn't notice?
Rauros2006-08-12 23:39:12
Well that's probably it then. So much spam at the Pool, doesn't surprise me I'd miss something like that just passing through. And I never keep acquisitio up in public places, and I wish other people would do the same.
