Missing clockwork flier graphic

I find that for sometime now, the familiar's graphic does not appear. I have sent a /bug report over this issue twice over the past year (most recently, about a week ago). So far, no response or change.

I've tried deactivating/reactivating this item multiple times to try to get the 'clockwork helicopter' familiar to appear, but no avail. I get the purple icon showing that the familiar should be physically present, but it never is. I do get the levitation effect, and the green buff icon for the levitation effect as well, so at least that part works with no problem.

And no, I don't have any other pets, mounts, veteran reward vendors, or familiars active when I activate this item. I was curious if anyone else was having the same issue? My guess is, yes.

Lastly, the description of this item seems to leave out the fact that it provides levitation to the character that uses it, as of the time of this writing...it's an extremely useful effect, and the whole point, imo, of purchasing this.

P.S. This item seems to no longer be available for sale in the station cash store at this time.

The spell that is attached to this item has no slot information and the description for the spell is pulled directly from the spell file the client provides. This is something Daybreak would have to update.

Is this like adding 1% shielding with a cap to the damage it mitigates? I find that the buff randomly poofs when I use it, despite the description that it mitigates 1% up to 0.

It mitigates 1 point of damage...max

Check Lucy;
6: Mitigate Melee Damage by 1%, 0 total

Click raw data;
base2_6 ............... 1 ...........so max protection is 1 point of damage.

I thought the mimic familiar was bad, heh. At least it mitigates 10 melee and 20 spell. Nevermind, it's still bad.

I'm not sure if they did it to intentionally fool people or not, but seems like an odd (or possibly deceptive) way to do the same thing as make fragile (effect drops as soon as you take any damage). :(

Yther Ore.
