Perhaps you lost it in another random event? For example there are random events/dailies that can steal your items. I don't know. I may be wrong.

awww , i dont really know much about them , its not very often that im lucky enough to find anything.

Are you sure you didn't find it in a user's shop or on their lookup? If you did, it might have been a fake random event :c

[craigb]

it was in a users shop :O , is that why i didnt get it :(?

[complicatedwishes]

Sounds like it was probably a fake event if it was in a usershop :( awww

[vyvren]

I think so. I'm sorry that it wasn't a real one :c

Ugh. I hate those fake random events in shops. :| They're annoying, and some people think they're real- it just seems unfair. :(

 

For future reference, real random events always appear at the top of the page- just below the navigation bar with the drop down menues. So if you get a real random event in someone's shop, it'll be above their shopkeeper and the navigation to shops/inventory/battledome, etc.

I've never received a paint brush in a random event, but don't you get it from Jacko when you get one?

 

The fake random event might also have had a "click here" thing, where it leads you to someone's wishlist, fonts, whatever. Fake REs can be useful for some people, although not as useful as something not deceitful.
