Death & dropping items...

General Discussion Started Last reply 17 posts
Why oh why..? Every time I die I drop something. If I've read correctly the chance to drop in C5 has been lowered and dropping equipted items should be almost zipp now, but still...

So far I dropped my weapon (not equipted) once, lots of misc. items and today I dropped my +6 Salamanderskin armor :( I was lucky and able to retrieve it (with the help of some clannies), but still... I dropped once more and this time some equipted item.

And it's not that I have a high PvP/PK score (both still 0/0). Guess I'm just VERY UNLUCKY..
Dropping equipped items (except your weapon) is just as likely as dropping non-equipped items. I don't remember reading in the patch notes that the chance was lowered at all. If you do a search, you'll see that there is a lengthy discussion about this very topic at least once a week.

And may i ask, why you unequipted your weapon? If you knew you could lose it?
As a dwarf I carry 2 weapons with me... A blunt and a pole ;)
Erm doesn't sound like you have a lot to fear from dropping something then.

Just whip out your OEd spare, or one of the nine in your warehouse, or just buy another one from the first vendor you see.

It's not so much being unlucky... and KARMA has a lot more to do with it than you think.

Have a nice day =)
I must be very unlucky. The one time I've died in C5, I dropped my earring :(
It was like second or third lowest NG, so not that big a problem, but now I'm missing an earring :(

It's better than missing the ear, right?

Ha! Yeah. But ears don't give m.def....
Unless they are the ears of a pixie ^^
i lost more than that on a bot killing spree ;:)
Cursed Bones drop always when something drops when I die in C5 it seems :(
Dying sux, had a clannie dropping his tallum armour today. But long live the bsoe, sure its exp but when u have a shot of losing a crapload of money ill take the bsoe anytime.
I think I drop about 2 or 3 pieces of armor a week. But then again I do die a lot..

What sucks is dropping your +5 doom leather in the middle of aggro. You don't have much choice other than to kamikaze your way in there and hope you can get it before setting off your bsoe.
Maybe you all should try to die less...

You should all stop whining about droppnig armor and everything, and try to pursuade NCsoft to leave it as it is.
I got a lot of adena from killing bots and stealing THEIR dropped items.

Heres an idea:
Dont run into a room full of agro by yourself. It doesnt work. I tried...

Sure it is a pain when you drop your magical pants or whatever, but thats kind of the risk you took when you tried to take on the whole catacomb by yourself...

I never thought of that! *searches for notebook*

So...a server crashes while in a fight with a mob and you die and drop your 100 mil helm. You finally get back on, only to see that your helm ninja'd on ya. Yes, the change helps bots and farmers...yes, that aspect sucks. But it also helps legit players keep their hard earned gear. Personally, I busted my hump doing that manor system to get enough money for my gear, and I don't wanna lose it to a crash or to lag. Btw, thanks for the heads up about not dying so much ;)

Are you a Warlord, too? :D
