Player stole my equipment

[Takii Huggles]

I lost a bag of rogue gear, raven scale, fbss and blood points back on live a long time ago to a passing guard on the other side of the wall. When I logged back in, it was just in time to see the message "Guard such and such picks up an item off the ground =(.

I remember those messages in classic, to the effect of, "Ho, hum look what I found!" as a guard passed by some coin you were trying to transfer so your alt could buy spells.

It was a sad day the first time that happened to me.

I'd love to help you out with some starter gear if you need it, let me know! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Npc picking up drop xfer items is very very classic.

So many discrete places to drop bags bro. If you dropped it near other players you're doing it wrong.

I've even dropped bags in that little shack near EC tunnel before.

SHHHHH!

I only drop xfer things I wouldn't care if I lost. Anyone drop xfering things that they can't afford to lose is taking a huge risk.

I camp out the char that I am transferring to at the spot, then log on the other one, first, too. Every second saved is important.

There's a lot of spots that no one goes to that you can use.

I find the feeling I have when bag dropping a fungi unmatchable. The adrenaline rush as you log out one toon, and log in the other is hard to beat. Every second, every beat of the pulse is intense when waiting and hoping that my second toon logs in without a hitch.

The best is when I get disconnected, and must wait to log back in, while the fungi is in a bag, sitting in my bag-drop location. The whole time I am wondering if I will log back in time, or if someone will have come upon my bag dropped with a fungi in it.

I recommend anyone looking for a rush to do this, you won't beat it, trust me.

My favorite drop-xfer spot was the very backside of rando Kelethin houses (where you're b/w the rail and the house). Never lost anything to a drop transfer.

I've Xfered a lot of items with a lot of different folks in the past. I think it might say something, a little bit, that you would prefer to trust the ground than your fellow players. Just ask somebody of a reputable guild or in Dial A Port next time, and if they have time, and can help, they will.
