Tranquil Staff: Need Before Greed?

[Narienna]

Just going to add my 2 cents here as someone who has spent the last 2 months levelling entirely in random dungeon groups (not in a guild currently).

I've seen plenty of big ticket items (Fungi, Hiero Cloak, etc.) drop and many more smaller items. Frequently the smaller items (1-2k tops) are given to anyone who can use them, but you're not going to find a pug group just let you NBG anything more expensive. Personally, I think you're the one being greedy here - Their time is just as valuable as yours.

Truth be told, if you did end up ninja-looting that staff I think you'd be screwing yourself out of finding any future groups. From personal experience, the vast majority of people would disagree with you here.

just yesterday i had somebody greed roll me out of a dragon dirk in crushbone, city of orcs. if he had known who i was in real life i promise u he wouldnt have done that

Simple solution, make it clear you are there specifically for a T-staff and will pass on anything else that might drop. Ask if this is ok. If for whatever reason someone disagrees, leave the group. If it's your group, drop them.
Didn't read most of the thread, the cunts saying NBG doesn't exist at high levels are either liars or the reason why it doesn't in their particular groups. If something droped that is an upgrade for someone in practically every group I have been in, no one is going to act like a whiny little bitch about it, no matter how expensive it is. If you run into one of these wastes of EQ space, remember their names and never group with them again.

just decided to backread a little bit on the thread again, i sure wish i didnt, heres what thulak has to say about the issue

And also the whole arguement well its worth 30k i can sell and buy upgrades for myself. Yes you could but how long is it gonna take that monk to have another chance at a Tstaff to help his DPS right then and there.

So because the monk wouldnt have to spend any time selling the item to get his upgrade and instead get his upgrade "right then and there" he should get the upgrade automatically? lol

Bet you would be kicking yourself if you looted Tstaff then everyone but your monk in group wiped and he somehow managed to die before getting FD off because his dps wasnt gonna enough to kill the mob first.

Ignoring the blatent contradiction in this (everyone in the group but the monk dies, but the monk does die due to not getting FD off?) This is absolutely hilarious and i wish i saw this before even taking your other post seriously.

Dammit, why did I loot that T-Staff worth 30k for upgrades??! I should have known that I could have saved the monk in my group from dieing after the whole group wiped!!! If i gave him the T-staff he would have had enough DPS to kill a mob and save himself from a death (as well as get himself a new T-staff!)

Donate a T-staff = saves a monks life (after you and everyone else are dead)

okay lets just say an epic piece drops thats worth 30k ( i dunno which im just being hypothetical) and it happens to be a piece someone in the group needs. its a highly marketable item. do you let the class loot his epic piece or greed it because 30k omg pp is too damn much to let fall into a player who can actually use the items hand?

and before you guys scream well thats epic, thats different. a t staff isnt much different from a monk who isnt epic capable. prob the best weapon he can get although i am not sure i never play melee.

It IS the best monk weapon before epic bar none.

Which is what most folks dont have a clue about i think.

By this logic casters should never get to loot anything.
