Peridot Loot

[Klyre]

I am always amazed as I am sitting in a group trying to med back up (Cleric) from someone thinking they are invincible and pulling the entire zone after I have buffed them and Symbol them, when I see someone loot a Peridot.
I am not going to ask or beg or any of that nonsense for you to give it to either the Cleric or the Enchanter who can use it to save your butt. Nor do I say that you are not within your right to keep it being a member of that group. But really, what are you going to do with it? Sell it? Its worth 10 PP, and for most at the level where Peridots drop that isn't much. Many Kunark items are going for much more than that.
As your healer I almost never loot because I am too busy either Medding up or trying to save your ass. If I spent that time looting I would not have the mana to save you from your ill conceived train. (even with Clarity, if a Bard is there too, then OK)
I don't complain about that, your health is MY responsibility and I only loot when I know that someone isn't going to die or I (on those rare occasions) win a roll on an item. So not only do I not take a lot of the trash loot (which adds to your coffers) I spend a Peridot on the Tank to keep her happy, one on me as a timer so I don't die and then you die and another on the Chanter who is Monster bait. That's 30 PP every hour from my loot.

So the next time you are grouped with a Cleric or Chanter. Consider giving it to someone who can use. You also may want to watch and see how much your Cleric is looting and if they are not, offer another item that they can sell later.(Preferable light in nature) We may say we don't need it, but you should offer. It just might save your life.

I'm an enchanter and I still hand every peridot over to the cleric in my groups. It's just good policy.

Should always go to cleric if one in group. No questions asked

Maybe you should say something, or is it my responsibility to keep track of everyone's reagents?

I think your post would have been more effective this way:

Just in case anyone doesn't know, peridots are an important reagent for clerics, and given how important we are in groups, you should give them to us as opposed to selling them for approximately 10pp at a vendor.

Thanks!

Have to agree with this part. I'd say you definitely deserve it. However prior to this post, I had no idea what reagents a Cleric/Enchanter/Wizard/Everyotherfuckingclassbutmyown uses for his/her spells. Reason being, I've never, ever played one. Not 10 years ago and not now, please don't blindly expect everyone to know what you need through some psychic ability. Hell, I barely even remember what reagents I need offhand for some of my own spells [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You can still type and med I assume, yes?

I agree that peridots should go to the cleric, but I think it's all part of that "don't be an ass" mentality we just hope (incorrectly) that everybody shares. Then again, I've played with some pretty scrubby clerics who think that everybody wearing plate in an exp group needs to have symbol up at all times.

When I played my cleric/necro I never expected help with regents for my spells anyway and I had bags full of peridots/coffins/EE's I either payed for myself because it was part of playing my class or had looted over time. It was never a big deal if I didn't get every single peridot drop in a group because frankly I didn't think they were that expensive and I knew that over time I would get the amount I deserved in the long run anyway.

For every peridot drop that you don't get, there will be 3 that you do.

I use the Perdiot's I loot as a wizard.

[hedbonker]

As a cleric I never ask for them. Every group I have been in always gives them to me though. It's not that big of a deal tbh...
