Just when I went to use him, all the equipment I furnished was gone. He was a level 9 before I upgraded him to a Tier 2, but when I noticed him, he was a leverl 29 and armed only with a dagger. When I tried to reoutfit him a message box appeared stating that it could not be completed due to being in use by another. I do not know what happened or why and was hoping to get some insight as to why and how someone pinched my mercenary. Also, how to stop it from happening again.
