Rules regarding no-drop items and multiple characters

[Denswen]

So I am thinking about farming a no-drop item on one of my characters for a separate character. To do so, I would have both in the same zone, kill the mob with one character, log out, login the second character, and loot. The problem is, I would have to wait until the timer wore off making it an open loot.

Since the item is fairly hotly contested, I am concerned about someone else looting the item off of me.

Are you allowed to "claim" a loot so that you can secure it for a character that is not currently logged in?

If you killed it, it's yours. Petition quest time if someone steals it.

If you log off its not yours anymore. Think this same discussion was had about the Grimrot camp with people logging on and off. Not my rule but pretty sure thats what was said at the time. I might be mistaken though.

Incorrect.

If you log off then you no longer own the camp and someone can take it but if you kill a mob then you own that mobs loot until it rots.

So at worse he can lose the camp he was farming but if someone loots the item off the corpse with out his petition they can be suspended.

You are in fact mistaken.

Correct in all aspects.

Yup, you can let the item rot if you wanted, it is yours. Out of curiosity, what item?

[Tankdan]

Nobody else is allowed to loot it. You can log over to loot. But you might want to inform other people of your intentions.

Wow I never knew this! I was packing it when switching from my druid to my cleric when hunting for epic pieces, the grimlox ring was one that I was sure I was going to loose when trying to switch.

So you can call out that it's yours and then switch over? That's awesome!
