Hello, how do you equip the item? Through Verse or through the inventory modifier?
Thanks!

Not just these items that stopped working recently with NPCS but also these. Flint-knock all varieties, firefly jars, and probably others I am not aware of. My NPCS are using the NPC Inventory Modifier.

I’m equipping it through the inventory modifier.
