Charmed Pets should drop items given to them

I'll add more evidence as I search. But this is to get the ball rolling. I've mentioned it a few times, just wanted a legit bug post about it.

I've gotten the impression that the staff definitely know about this and maybe even would like to implement it... but that it doesn't work because it opened up some dupe/exploit issues and they don't have fixing it as a high priority right now.

Not that I wouldn't love to be able to give my pets a steel hilted flint dagger and an obtenebrate shortsword, mind you. Lol :)

Ya let's trade no drops I'm in

Wat....

NPCs destroy no drop items given to them.

The exploit issue I seem to recall arising from charming a quest NPC and doing turnins (aka Lynunga), then killing her and looting the rubies. If they could code it to destroy items that yield a quest reward that'd be awesome.

Maybe there is another reason though.

I have thought about revisiting this.

Known issue.

This does not sound right. So are you saying npcs cannot wield no drop weapons?

There was at least a short time on live you could hand npcs random items and they would drop them even if the npc was not charmed ( although not sure if this worked for no drop items).

In any case wtb steel hilted daggers

There was a time perhaps...

But that was way early on and was removed due to the obvious exploit of transferring No Drop items.

oh daldaen, thank god you finally made a legit bug post about this

3 of those were from 2010, and Loraen's from 2012.

But mine has a quote from 2001 (Classic Era) as evidence!
