handed the necklace to the bruised woman and still had it on my cursor when metala spawned. looted the hilt after the fight and now wonder what to do with the necklace. maybe vahlen knows, i ll ask him later today :)
I too have my Vhalen's Necklace still, but as I also have completed the 2.0 now, I guess I won't need it for anything. Too bad it's not place able in Houses or Guild Halls. Otherwise it's just more junk to fill our bags with.
