Talk:Loot

Vials?
It seems that the vial is in nearly every lootplace, why?

I included empty vials so that you could decide if it was worth picking them up from the ground. They can usually be seen littering the floor of most caves, and they provide more gp/oz than some looted items.

Having vials in the list can also help you decide if you should drop your vials to pick up some other loot.

Yes, I know that no creatures actually drop empty vials, but they are abundant enough that I thought they should be included.

ok,thanks Mocca-Kahve 07:11, 6 July 2006 (PDT)

If most people think they should not be there, it's fine for them to be removed. I just thought it would be useful.

Change in the loot lists
In my honest opinion, when listing the items looted in some place , the monster tablet shouldn't hold monsters not found in that area , Is it worth changing that?

You are correct. Which ones have creatures that are not in the area?

Bags in monsters
I raise the question following question. Should bags, holding other items, contained in monsters be listed in the loot listing of monsters? This question spawns from the fact that some monsters (Dark Monks for example) can often contain two bags, the first is an empty bag that would no doubt be included as loot, the second bag is like other monsters and contains other items. Or at the other end of the scale, should both bags not be included in the loot listing? Clarification on this matter would be much appreciated as some people believe that any bag should be listed as loot, whilst others believe only the before mentioned empty bags should be included. Apologies if this has been dealt with elsewhere or this isn’t the correct forum for such a question, however searching the site did not reveal an answer and this seemed the most appropriate location to ask.

I think that listing bags in creature loot is inconsequential. Maybe some lower-level players would be interested in knowing, but I find that so many different creatures drop bags, it is almost pointless to list them.

Concerning the availability of bags, they also seem to be found on the ground in many places (depots, banks, shops, etc.), so I do not think many players will be concerned with hunting a creature to collect one or more bags.

In my opinion, I find it to be unnecessary but not to be a nuisance. I would not bother to add or remove bags from creature loot lists.

So, in the nature of true indifference, I really do not care, and I have not noticed anyone else in the community to be very concerned about it. Whatever the majority opinion is... go with it.

Indeed bags shouldn't be added since they don't sell anywhere and their price is insignificant when selling runes or anything inside them, thus, they won't provide gold to the players, just more containers, but this is not the case for Pirate Bags, they should be listed.
