Peridot Loot

[Klyre]

I am always amazed as I am sitting in a group trying to med back up (Cleric) from someone thinking they are invincible and pulling the entire zone after I have buffed them and Symbol them, when I see someone loot a Peridot.
I am not going to ask or beg or any of that nonsense for you to give it to either the Cleric or the Enchanter who can use it to save your butt. Nor do I say that you are not within your right to keep it being a member of that group. But really, what are you going to do with it? Sell it? Its worth 10 PP, and for most at the level where Peridots drop that isn't much. Many Kunark items are going for much more than that.
As your healer I almost never loot because I am too busy either Medding up or trying to save your ass. If I spent that time looting I would not have the mana to save you from your ill conceived train. (even with Clarity, if a Bard is there too, then OK)
I don't complain about that, your health is MY responsibility and I only loot when I know that someone isn't going to die or I (on those rare occasions) win a roll on an item. So not only do I not take a lot of the trash loot (which adds to your coffers) I spend a Peridot on the Tank to keep her happy, one on me as a timer so I don't die and then you die and another on the Chanter who is Monster bait. That's 30 PP every hour from my loot.

So the next time you are grouped with a Cleric or Chanter. Consider giving it to someone who can use. You also may want to watch and see how much your Cleric is looting and if they are not, offer another item that they can sell later.(Preferable light in nature) We may say we don't need it, but you should offer. It just might save your life.
