NPC's holding items

[Ravager]

A while back when I was camping cloak in MM, I was giving the living mobs there bronze just with sneak and they equipped it. They did not drop it though when I killed them.

lol this would be great...

Also from that thread:

Mobs that have hands will always equip the last weapon given to them... pushing whatever they were holding into their loot table.

Try this with an orc pawn, if you want to see for yourself.

Was this actually true?

even on live i dont remember being able to re equip mobs, if they had it equipped they would just put what you gave them in offhand if they could dw or loottable if they couldnt but that was a long time ago.

The only time I really remember benefiting from giving mobs weapons were insane hard raid mobs that quad, like the big guy during the bertox event in CoD wed give him a fine steel 2hand staff killed his ability to quad because now he has no DW.

On Project 1999, NPC doesn't even give back the droppable items when they die [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's not classic. Where's Nirgon and Elethia?

Yes yes yes yes yes. Although I don't remember if or when it was changed on live. I remember right when the game came out, like within a few months, someone figured out that you could charm a mob, give it a Ykesha and then kill it to get it back.

I remember very well, because there was a necromancer in my guild who gave a Ykesha to his pet, and didn't realize that you had to be able to loot the corpse to get your item back. Basically he lost about 15000 plat.

Back when this was doable with no drop items I had a friend who played on RZ red, always trying to get me to go over there but No Thanks, he would tell me that his higher level friends would charm lvl 1 mobs give them a bunch of no drop stuff then let him kill it for the loot, lvl 1 dwarf paladin looted a soulfire off of a bat lol

Reported numerous times. :P

I recall the underlying issue is no drop trading bugs that need to get worked out before this can be effected.

One of my favorite gifts to NPCs in live was to give scarab armor to the Priest of Discord.

I loved seeing that dufus in a green plate hat and breastplate.
