YOU drop gold when you die!

No one seems to be mentioning this little tidbit so here it is... it needs to be tested to see if this comes out of your inventory, because if not you'll see parties of self-sacrificing self-farming necros out there stocking up on gold.

One dies, drops gold, someone picks up and shares. Next one dies, rinse, repeat.

Bring a rez spell everyone!

You'd need to kill a few critters first, of course...

lol

see title ftw!

Well... I've gone out, had gold drop for me, pick it up and sacced myself to death and... nothing. I've tried a few times now and there has been nothing waiting there on the floor.

I was out doing some chest hunting last night with henches when we hit this one group that took us out. That's when I noticed the henches dropping gold for the first time. Then I croaked and dropped 120 gold.

Maybe there's a difference between being killed and saccing... dunno... still worth investigating.

Tried this, didnt work, do u have to be in a party?

i tried getting killed too btw, not saccing

Good point.. I was in a party with seven henches. Were you solo?

Ya i was solo

Lets meet up, so we can try it with 2 ppl

Ill be waiting at Kaineng Center International District

Stuck at work, sorry. Try with a party of henches, that's how I was doing it.. and wait until you've picked up a bit of gold first too.

I did the nah pui quarter mission today, someone died and there was 399 gold on the ground. That's FAR more than any of the monsters drop.

Im sorry but is this taking the mic? I don't get this post...

The OP wants someone to test if players can CREATE gold by having gold in their inventory, then dying and sharing it.

If this is true, this could be a REALLY serious exploit.

You have 100,000 gold in your inventory.

You die. You drop 100,000 gold. But the gold stays in your inventory THIS NEEDS TO BE TESTED.

Your buddy picks up 100,000. You both get 50,000. He gets 50,000 (while you are already maxed).

Well yo uget the idea.....This could be bad.

Close Lyra, but thanks for clarification... more along the lines of if you pick up 1000 gold or so (round number) and have a full party of 8, when you die do you drop the 125g that was your share and if you do does your inventory go down by 125 or stay the same.

If it doesn't go down, there's the exploit... party goes gold gathering for a while then has a death party to really load up on the cash.

I was running around exploring in Cantha and my fighter henchman died and i was surprise to see 102 gold dropped from his body. Guess all henchies give you gold when they died!

I think I know where MSecorsky's getting at. When you (or your henchies die) are you dropping your share of the loot that you've picked up so far.. ?? That could suck (if you're actually losing it)..

Does this strike anybody else as a really bad idea?

I mean, if pug monks want to be bastards...

So is it only money you pick up as loot on that run or just any moneyyou take with you?

From what I saw, it looks like what you pick up on that run.

Also needs testing.

heh, luckily it only appears to be gold.. otherwise good luck finding an SS necro to go with your 55 rofl..

anyone test it yet? *is at work*

We need to test which is true:

You die, gold drops:

Gold that drops disappears from your inventory
OR
Gold that drops stays in your inventory, essentially "creating money"

and

Gold that drops is the gold you picked up from that run.
OR
Gold that drops is just the amount in your inventory, meaning you could purposely leave with 100,000 gold to "create it".

Also working... argh!

C'mon folks, get out there and do our dirty work!

Pwease?
