I was running Scarlet Monastery Armory before the Server Restart on 9/23/15. We finished before the shutdown, but all of the loot I received and the quest progress for killing Herod was not saved.
I don't remember all the loot I picked up, but I had won Herod's Shoulders for sure.
I'm sure this is common and that typically players just learn to halt any progress right before a server restart, but I'm new to this all and wanted to come here and ask out of simple hope. Not that it makes my case any more special, but it took me all morning to get a group to do SM Armory with and it would mean a lot if I could finish the quest and keep the one blue drop I got.
