Including is footage of a Teriling (Non quest npc) in Plane of Mischief, being given x2 Deadwood staves , and x2 Adamantite Bands . Footage is cut for length as after charming the mob I went on to slay many of fellow rats with him, Video shows rat procing deadwood staves I gave it at beginning of charm and after killing him having nothing on his loot table (Ate x2 Deadwood Staves, and x2 Adamantite bands)

Nice video fox, thanks. How quickly will your items be reimbursed?

Probably never? /shrug . Luckally I have an extra set, just really annoying cause takes time to farm and I never see them for sale - Id rather Eat a death No rez than loose pet gear quite honestly

In my days of pet charming i'd equip my pet with mage summoned pet gear (on live) and negative magic resist items which i also hated to lose.

Is there a video playback lockout when you're offline? I ask because I went back to view more of your chanter at work and couldn't view more videos but it could be this tablet. What does it cost to upload these to Twitch?

This happened to my friend and I in Seb. We were swapping pets, broke with invis and nuked it down. No items on the corpse. Only lost some daggers but annoying nonetheless.

The way it was coded here was a temporary fix. It doesn't work exactly how it should on live, but it works enough if you know the things not to do.

The reason you didn't receive your items you gave a pet was either one of two things:

1. The NPC has a quest attached to it. The original reason it was removed on P99 was people would give Lynunga Rubies, get earrings and midnight mallets, then kill her and loot rubies. Clearly an exploit.

The way it was resolved on P99 when it was put back in game, was all NPCs that have a quest turn in associated with them, will eat any items given to them. Undead foreman in OT is a prime example. If you give him items and kill him after he will wield them but his corpse will always be empty.

2. You gave the items when the NPC was not charmed. For whatever reason the code requires the NPC be charmed when you give them the items. If for example you give the items to a non-KoS NPC like a PoMischief mob, while they are just standing there not yet charmed, they will equip all the items but will never drop them. This part isn't classic, you were able to load up rats in Freeport with items and they would drop them.

But on P99 just remember to always charm before gearing out pets.

I use teriling as well and he always drops the items I give him

I can't check the twitch feed you linked at work but I will guess what you did was you fed him the items before charming him. That will lead to him not dropping the items.

Always charm first, and give items second.
