flat out wrong my dude.

I had a drop transfer poof couple years back, 2 bags of random caster junk, I petitioned with the time and location I was at, as well as some of the items that i could remember the names of. They restored every item, even ones I had forgotten about. Everything is tracked, when items go on the ground the server logs when, where, and what.

Guessing yours was a server glitch or something like that which they verified. They usually don't reimburse if a player picks it up. But hey always worth giving a petition a shot.

I was reimbursed a lost drop transfer item just last week, only took about 48hrs from posting the reimbursement thread in petition forum.

And yeah has been stated, if somebody picked it up they won't reimburse it, but if it legitimately rotted (believe it takes 5 rl minutes) they'll restore it.

Devs have implemented a way to track drop transfers as of ~ 2021. RMTers were using drop trades to skirt log tracking. They put an end to that via new script that can track item IDs even when dropped on the ground.

However - they will typicallynot reimburse items lifted from other players trying to drop transfer.

Thanks for the context, didn't know that changed. Makes sense

Yes I could have traded them to a player but the idea is to have a repeatable way to get loot out of the tunnel when I’m down there solo. So I was practicing

You didnt think to "practice" with some rations and water first? Lol what is this junior league? And you announced you were doing this? Haha how did you even make it down there haha

1) CSR has no ability to restore dropped items or track down who picked them up so drop transfer issues are not supported via petition similar to MQs

2) NPCs pick up items so if you drop something inside the range of an NPC they will grab it before you have time to swap

3) NEVER announce when you're drop transferring, people can only steal your stuff if they know there is stuff to steal (and considering there is no way to penalize people for stealing in this matter, if you even consider it stealing, it will be gone)

If you're going to drop transfer, know what you're doing first. But in general there is no reason to drop transfer. Just ask someone to do a transfer for you. Plenty of kind people that will help. The servers are extremely inflated. People aren't hurting that bad for your solo farm gear.

some incorrect claims here... drop transferrers everywhere should rejoice! with the gm darver around, any item you drop on the ground is SAFE. he will ban the wrongdoers for picking up your loot and return your goods on a silver platter as it is his duty in the eyes of tunare. brad bless and happy drop transferring [You must be logged in to view images.
