      Developer’s Note: For the Grandfather specifically, any existing Grandfathers that had a Greater Affix or Masterworking roll consumed by the Indestructible Affix will be re-rolled.

      Fixed an issue where The Grandfather was available as a Wardrobe customization unlock. Uber-unique items are not supposed to be available to apply their appearance to other items.
