#2) if you die in pvp you never drop anything, unless you are red (non-zero karma/chaotic character) and have more than 5 PKs. The amount xp you lose depends on what kind of pvp. In arena areas, pvp has no xp loss at all (and thus is just for practice or messing around). In siege settings and clan wars, the xp loss is reduced 1/4 of normal. In normal contexts you lose the same xp as a regular death.
I have two dwarfs and instead of using a blunt type of weapon i equipped both of them with a pair of dual orc fist weapons. As a low level dwarf lvl 1-19 you get the general weapon masterys. And by using fist weapons you do far more damage.

umm... there is a chance you can drop I believe.... deffinately a chance if u get killed by a pet/sev
Well, he likes PvP so we should warn him-- the dwarf is not a PvP class. Its not too bad at PvP, and they make much more money than other classes do, but if you are interested in making a class that has a high standard of PvP, roll a nuking or archer class. But remember-- keep the dwarf. They make a lot of money and a dwarf as a first character will make other characters considerably easier to level up.

I'm a noob too and I thought there was always a chance of dropping gear from PvE and PvP kills? Could someone please clear this up for me? I'd appreciate it!
-there is a chance to drop any gear but eqiped wearpon in pve for a white and red under 5pk.
-there is no/very small chance to drop anything in pvp for white and red under 5pk.
-pk with more then 5pk drops both in pve and pvp incl;uding equiped wearpon.

Start up the rumor mill...You're saying if a character is killed via a summons or pet he can drop? What is the reason you say definitely? It's the first I've heard of it. And do you mean if he has less than 6 PKs (i.e., at any time) or only if the character has 6 or more PKs as stated by Sarge concerning PC vs PC PvP?

*looking for his post...will edit when I find it*
According to Ash's long lost post, you can drop during any death (except equipped weapons; they're a special case) except siege and arena (festivals?).

Uhhhhhh...no. I've PKed and PvP so many people with my summon on the PTS and not got a single drop. I've PvPed on regular servers as well, and have never gotten a drop.

I seem to remember that Sarge finally said in a post made less than 3 months ago that you didn't drop anything during PvP if you had 5 PKs or less, regardless of color. Heck, I wish I could find it, but I'm having no luck.
pvp deaths in arena are no items or exp lost ever. pvp deaths in a siege is 1/4 exp loss compared to normal field death and no drops (unless you are red over 5 pk count, in which case you can drop, but im not sure why you would be at a siege anyway) death outside arean or siege will take a % of exp, gradually less % the more you level up, if you die to monsters you can drop up to 5 items, but so many is very rare, usually no drop or only 1 or 2 items, dropping equipped armor is less likely than loose inventory items, quest items cannot be dropped.
you CAN participate in raids and/or sieges at any level, i would not advise participating untill you are at least level 40 and have a clan, because the other players participating can and will kill you as soon as you enter the field. please note most (at least on my server) are at least level 50, more often near 60 when they participate in sieges, so 40 is a bit outclassed there, still possibly useful depending on your class. raids you may participate in at nearly any level, over 20 is generally preferred... you will need at least 1 full group to kill most raid bosses, see the Adventure guide in town for a list of bosses and thier levels as well as locations. also worth noting, on some servers you will be unable to raid often considering that some clans, or farmers have thier spawns camped.
Well, he likes PvP so we should warn him-- the dwarf is not a PvP class. Its not too bad at PvP, and they make much more money than other classes do
a dwarf will make maybe 10% more adena than any other class (millions more if you sacrifice xp but any class can do just as well if not better)
best lvls for money making on a dwarf?
20-35ish on a scav - since you can still solo realitively well
49-XXX on a crafter - higher your craft lvl the more potential you have to make money but that will come heavily at the cost of xp
once you reach the higher lvls of dwarven supremecy expect to be easily killed by mages 20 lvls lower and archers 10 lvls lower (even at 40 lvls higher you cant kill an archer)
be privliged enough to get to lvl 60+ and expect to earn no more money than anyone else (as a scav) or millions less (as a warsmith)
you want adena? any class can do just as well
you want pvp? 90% of classes do a hell of alot better
