Brief bug summary: When hunting mobs that drop Nodestones, the sprites for the dropped Nodestone is not updated to the newer sprite.

More details:

Back in the update that added Fox Valley, the sprites for Nodestones that dropped on the ground were updated.

The Core Gemstone and Powerful Strength Crystal‘s dropped image icons have been updated. Shiny!

After:

However, this only applies to the fully-tradable variant, which drops from monsters normally in KMS. In GMS, they drop a different variant that's only transferable within the world via storage, and therefore does not use the updated sprite. However, crafting a Nodestone will still grant you a fully-tradable Nodestone with the correct sprite.

Here is a side-by-side comparison:

Steps to reproduce:
1. Hunt monsters in Arcane River or Grandis's continental region (Cernium + Arcus) until a Nodestone drops. Note that the sprite is not updated.
2. Obtain a fully tradable Nodestone. Note that the sprite is correctly updated.

Character name: GreenGales

Character level: 265

Character job: Wind Archer

World name: Bera

Date and time of the incident: May 4, 2022 at 5:00 PM EST (but this issue has existed for a few years)
