There are also some other times that server will record an item as collected but addon will not, such as completing a quest but not equipping the reward. - -A script is provided to sync addon data with server data. Syncing with the server requires access to the server's MySQL database - if you are not having access, you may need to ask your server admin to do it for you. - -### Sync Script Requirements -* Python 3 -* Python MySQL Connector (can be installed through `pip install mysql-connector-python`) - -### Sync Steps -1. Edit syncTransmog.py to put your MySQL credentials in the correct location -2. (optional) Edit account_id in the script to your account_id -3. Run the syncTransmog.py script.

If this happens, just run the command `.transmog sync` and the local database will be synced with the server.
