New to OTF, few questions

[lordsmo]

Planning to attempt OTF soon. My understanding is that my corpse will get looted. My questions are as follows:

Do all the ithzir do this?

Will they just take my coins and an item or two immediately after killing me or will they stay around taking more and more stuff for as long as I'm lying there?

Will they take scrolls? Worn enhancives? AG badge?

Will getting locks added to my containers prevents this?

Thanks for your help.

I depart before they can loot me.

All ithzir will loot. They will take your weapon, shield, magical items. Someone said they even took their 4 winds transport item, which I think is a bug. They will take gems, silvers, I am not sure about the AG badge but yes I believe they will take worn enhancives. They can hang around and take things but for me it is usually right after I die and I don't get looted very often.
Double bagging items or putting them in locked containers keeps them safe. Rule of thumb is to not take anything in you can't live without.

Thanks for the help. Gonna head in this weekend probably.

Do a Sabreon check before you go in if this is your first time.

:yeahthat:

Also, it used to be that neck pouches couldn't be stolen from, which was sorta handy. But Sabreon's crew makes the whole area insane while they're OTF-ing.

And if you have shock resistance, or the ability to get it, it's a good idea. Ithzir weapon flares can be disgusting.

Never hunted there either and still pretty far from it, but might as well ask since that is my hunting plan eventually...

If they loot your corpse of a worn magic item (in my case it's just enhancives that I have to worry about), and someone kill them, will it be there when that character loots their corpse?

Also I noticed bandits steal coins. Do they ever loot any items?

[Buckwheet]

Yes the item will be there. You can ask for it back here or on lnet or something.

If Ithzir steal something off your corpse, they'll carry it around (or wear it) until they de-spawn. Used to be that if you got word out fast enough, there was generally someone around willing to run a recovery mission for you. Sabreon actually was pretty good about that, plus a few others.

Is the weapon and shield looting something fairly new? I don't remember them ever looting a shield, and the only weapon loss I can recall was due to being disarmed before getting pwned.

Start in the ducts - less likelihood of ithzir there while you get your sealegs.

I've lost several shields over the years so not that new.

Ithzir that have looted something from a player will also carry sacks with that item inside

[KneeCapper]

Ithzir will loot your corpse but if it's a scout they will fade out and chances are the item will never be recovered unless done quickly. Initiates are probably the second worst looter of the bunch but they won't fade like the scouts.

Here is what ya gotta look for.

You see a fairly typical Ithzir scout.
She appears to be in good shape.
She has a curved crystal-edged blade, a sky-blue vultite wall shield, a large sack (worn) and some sleek grey brigandine (worn).

Regardless of what they loot that sack is kind of a badge of ill will. All items will be found when you loot them with the exception of silver which will be in the sack.

I have the "large sack (worn)" highlighted in my text strings to know when I've encountered a looter. On the flip side when you kill and loot an Ithzir and they possess and unusual weapon, shield or item and DON'T drop that large sack when you loot them 99.9% that item is a treasure drop.

End game loot the critter and ya get a large sack = looter, loot the critter and no large sack = treasure drop. Have had capped bards sing to items when no large sack appears in the loot and have NEVER found any trace of a recent owner although I will always find a bard just in case to sing to the item.

Also add this to your text strings


Streaks of blanched fire lance the air, their white tendrils arcing. Carried on the flames is a wave of anger and withering hostility, which touches everything, even what the blaze does not.

Area is gonna got ' bat shit crazy '!!!! I run to the furthest end of that area and just clean up on critters that walk into the frindge and do very well on a fry
