I learned my lesson, don't drop trade

[jolanar]

Drop transfers are fine if you have a back up plan. A spare laptop and a spare internet connection (phone) and not dropping the items in a stupid location will mitigate most of your risk unless the P99 servers get struck by lightning.

What did you end up losing? Lots of friendly people here, that may be willing to help if you are referring to lower to mid range items. And it helps you just asked a question instead of begging for replacements.

I didn't post this for a replacement. One part venting, one part warning.

I dropped 4 bags of various lightstones. I had been saving up so I could sell them all and buy some upgrades on my armor. It was my small nest egg. It was just plat that I will get back eventually, but also disheartening to see it disappear because of connection problems.

As a proud member of Dial I stand in tunnel a lot (ok i sit too) and I will gladly help anyone transfer stuff for no fee at all. Look me up next time.

The answer is nowhere. That is the point of this PSA.

You just suck at EQ like OP.

I found it fun to run around and drop things to ground in Iceclad when seaworthy planking was still in the game.

I've drop traded 500k+ worth of gear in the same bag before. aon+manastone+fungi+a bunch of priest gear.

The trick is not drop trading anything you can't easily replace.
