Any way to put items back into the HearthFire?

Such as the subscription items

I think no. Try to alt vault them.

I wouldn't necessary try it, but I understood that if the subscription/store item is destroyed or deleted (dropping into ground and map unloading, dropping into water) then it can be reacquired from hearthfire. They supposedly are destroyed in a puff of smoke if another hearthling tries to take subscription/store item that doesn't belong to them.

Two possibilities exist:

1) You claimed an item before Sept 1st's update. These are permanent in the world and can be looted or destroyed. Care with these items.

2) Items after this are locked to the account. They can't be looted, and if destroyed, can be obtained from your HF again. (As of this post, I believe there's a bug that allows you to claim from any HF. May have been fixed and pushed to live already.)

Support Items (hats) are no longer lootable. If you buy an item in the store, or receive one with a subscription, it becomes rather a one-time permanent upgrade to your account. You can at any time withdraw or re-withdraw that item/hat from your Hearth Fire, and any other copies of it in the game world (on a wall, or whatever) should then disappear. Other characters cannot have your item/hat in their inventory, and should they try to take it, it will vanish in smoke.

The reasoning behind this change is as follows: Hats/items were not intended as anything other than cosmetics. They have no other utility than their show-off value, and the problem with having them lootable is that they completely lose said show-off value, as wearing them paints a huge target on the wearer, making them essentially useless.

Now you can wear your support hat/item openly, without risking losing it. If you get eaten by ants, if we reset the server, if you drown, if you get eaten by nasty bagousers, whatever happens, your hat/item should still be there in your Hearth Fire, ready to be worn.

Anyone who has purchased a hat should find that they now have an entry for that hat with this described functionality in their Hearth Fire, regardless of what has or hasn't happened to their purchased hat before tonight.

And!

Any instances of hats already withdrawn from a Hearth Fire before this update, will also remain as legacy items as they are, irrespective of where and how they are, with their old functionality of being a normal item completely intact. Consider these now epic l3wt legendaries a bonus for the early bird punter who hasn't yet managed to lose his hat.

If number two, just throw it in the water or w/e. Arguably you should be able to right-click it back into your HF. Making note of that.
