I think random is cool too. But if you can fill up slots with random items, how do you make it fair for someone who doesn't do that?

You make worn items a high drop % value than bagged items.

Has this been mentioned? If not, discuss.

-4 level range
-Item loot of any droppable
-Bagged items included
-Primary/Secondary excluded
-Inventory slots (primary 8) excluded.

So:
-Can loot droppables from bags, but can't take the bag itself.
-Can't take items occupying a bag slot. Max chance of "bagging" 8 items, if all inventory slots are empty.

yes, this is exactly it

do it

4 level range is what it should be on red99 with no ffa zones

Except Fear/Hate/Sky..

That is unless they could get the flagging system working.

Trying to find a caveat that would make randomness work.

It doesn't resolve...

how do you make it fair for someone who doesn't do that?

Say I want to bag 8 items. I have 8 10-slot bags. By adding fish scales to every slot other than the items I bag, my % chance of losing items is less than someone who doesn't.

that is likewise similar to saying how do you make it fair to someone that doesn't start unequipping items when low hp and stuffing them into safe slots.

You could make it so items under a certain plat value aren't factored in, or maybe no stackable items.

So in the little raffle that determines which item gets dropped make equipped gear more favorable to be picked. Like two entries in the little loot pinata rafle instead of 1.

My problem with it is that people will bag them, making them no longer equipped.

the system you suggested revolves around "bagging" into safe slots, however in random even those slots are at risk, if even just less so

Just random across all inventory slots, if it's empty then the body has no gear to loot. That way loading up the bags with fish scales adds no benefit.
