Subject: RE: [EverQuest] Rolling for loot


Good trade.

I think the best thing I ever won in a random that wasn't no drop was a
Fungi Tunic. I think there were 10 of us and we had 3 tunics. I had the
second highest roll. I also have lost 3 insidious robes by virtue of going
LD before we could decide who gets it. I also went LD when my Enchanter Robe
dropped in PoG but luckily my brother was in the same room with me on the
same raid and let everyone know I was coming back. I was one of two
enchanters there and it was the other enchanters first time in PoG while I
had been there about a dozen times or so. I was awarded that. Once I
logged on I spent the next 3 or 4 minutes trying to loot this HUGE tree, I
couldn't find the right place to loot it (it was down by the "feet", FYI).
Several times I got the message someone is already looting that corpse was
really beginning to worry. After several /ooc /shout's finally got whoever
was crouched on the corpse to get his/her lazy tail off of it.

The way it works on my server (C-T) is seed random
rolling. When a mob drops something worth rolling on,
the leader of the group rolls /random 1000. Say for
example he gets a 678 ... everyone in the group,
including the leader, then rolls /random 678. I don't
know why we do it this way but we do :)

The best roll coup I EVER got was for a locustlure in
Karnor Castle. This item is worth about 7kpp on my
server, by far the best loot I've ever seen on a mob
in my 48 levels. I was leader of the group, so I
rolled /random 1000. I got a 227. So everyone rolls
/random 227 and guess what I got on that roll ..
that's right, a 227. Talk about WOOT!!! I was so
excited, I'd NEVER won a roll before on ANYTHING.
Anyway, I traded it for Coldain Skin Boots (worth
about 12kpp) a few minutes later (didn't even have to
auction the thing), but it was still the most exciting
thing that's ever happened to me in Everquest .. ok
that's sad ..
