When Forsaken dropped, I had just one Iron Battalion shader left, attached to an Exodus Down Robes. It was, and still is, one of my favorite armor pieces for this particular warlock, and the addition of Iron Battalion really fit a theme I was going for. I took great care to infuse this armor piece, but there was one problem that kept bugging me. I had earned the shader, but it didn't show up in my collections. I read online that breaking down the armor piece would give me the shader, but I panicked as it just gave me legendary shards. While I easily got the armor back, it's not complete without the shader, and not one of the current greenish shaders comes even close to fitting the theme I want in the slightest. If there is any way to get this shader back, I would do anything.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to get your Shader back. As the Collections only tracked the Shaders in your inventory, [b]not the ones applied to Armor or Weapons[/b], you don't have it available to get it back. The only chance to get it back therefore was to break down your robes, but if the Shader is not a Legendary one, you only have a chance of getting it back. Legendary ones should be guaranteed. So if you didn't get it from breaking down your Armor, you won't be able to get it.
