It also doesn't make sense when you use Steal on a rabbit, and you get hare meat, you steal it's meat?

I have come to suspect that monsters find the equipment laying around, think it's pretty and shiny, and pick it up.

Scorpion>> Sweet, I just found this helmet lying there!
Vinegarroon>> omg can i have it??
Scorpion>> 'k.
Vinegarroon>> i think ill put it on my stinger... there! dont i look so cute? =^.^=

Ah yes. And how about monsters carrying Gil? What do they need it for? Laundry?
Quick question.. How does one exactly get ahold of a application for game master? Id love to follow your footsteps. You are, my hero.

It does seem to say that in the wiki article, Dave. Second or third line.

"Scorpions are also adept at dropping hats if you kill one"

2008-08-17T03:32:00.000-07:00

Actually there ARE crabs in batilla downs. Go near the necropolis entrace. As for everything else, hell if I know. Why does a tiger drop pants?

Even going on the theory that they ate a warrior and that's the undigested gear, why the hell does a CRAB drop a BELT. I have issue with a crab eating ANYTHING as big as a character. Not to mention if it's not fully digested fine, but it's still partially digested, and covered in acid.

Land crab meat...

Even if you use the logic that it was something it ate...

I USED STEAL!

Did I some how reach up its ass/in its mouth and pick out its undigested lunch?

Not to mention there are no crabs ANYWHERE in Batillia downs!

2008-08-16T18:02:00.000-07:00

The Rarab tails aren't really rarab tails. They are a kind of pea that's just *called* a rarab tail. Seriously read the description that's what it says.

What I'm really mad at though is mobs that wear armor that they don't drop.

Yes. I am referring to the ToAU Fomors

2008-08-16T13:05:00.000-07:00

Perhaps the random equipment found in mobs is because they ate someone who was wearing it.
Then again I quite like Smithy's explanation that everything just kinda drops out of the sky. Think of it as a reward that Altana occasionally gives to people, but because there are so many people she can't reward everyone and misses people sometimes.
Of course by that logic, less people would mean better drops...

2008-08-16T10:42:00.000-07:00

as much as i'd love to believe that your weapon damages the skin too much, i find it hard to believe unless every character on the game (not just the player) is retarded as well. i mean come on, they do the same thing over and over again: kill the mob. you have to get good at something after doing it a bajillion times! you'd think your character would finally know how to kill a rabbit and keep its fur and such intact. how many rabbits have we killed now? and you're mad about scorpions with helmets? i'm mad about a beetle with a GREAT-AXE in it! how... wha... why?! (i speak of the panzer percival who drops the neckchopper) there's no way that axe could fit in there! a helmet off a scorpion... debatable, but a large 2-handed battle axe dropping off a beetle?! no freakin way...

2008-08-16T10:05:00.000-07:00

The thing that always annoys me most is when monsters don't have HEADS.

I can handle the whole "well, you mauled that skin beyond belief and now you don't get any, idiot" thing. Even spells can do irepairible damage. yes, even water. I mean, the water has to do enough to kill the monster, right?

But not having a head? c'mon. I can't believe you'd hit something hard enough that it's head is beyond recognition. Everything has heads!

2008-08-16T09:09:00.000-07:00

One thing that has always driven my wife insane is that bees in Saruta drop rabrab tails.

What drives ME insane is that I can magically teleport around the world, encase my weapon in fire,ice, what have you and ride a huge fricking bird, but I always get jammed up against a six inch high step in Ordelle's Cave.

2008-08-16T07:48:00.000-07:00

I have a great explanation for every single question you could ever have.

2008-08-16T04:31:00.000-07:00

Someone didn't pay attention to their CoP/RotZ Cutscenes if they don't know where the crytals come from :P

Of course, Holy Handgrenade ftw.

2008-08-16T01:46:00.000-07:00

I finally decided that animals dropping armor is similar to the way they find human feet inside sharks. It's just what the animal hasn't finished digesting of the last warrior. You've heard of killer rabbits right?

2008-08-16T01:40:00.000-07:00

Now what we need to do is change the model of King Vinegarroon to have a really freaking sweet helmet. Then there won't be any questions about why he drops it.

2008-08-16T00:35:00.000-07:00

I could explain the crystals, but it's rude to talk about what developers like to do in their bedrooms. Suffice it to say animals don't have pockets and they only have so many orifices to keep things in...

Do you really want to know where those crystals have been? Much less how they got there?

2008-08-16T00:25:00.000-07:00

perhaps when you salvage skin and other type stuff... you suck at it, so you tend to make a mistake and ruin it...

Or, a wizard did it...

As for the random armor, perhaps the beastmen are going around feeding random bits of equipment to monsters...

Or, that wizard is really bored...

2008-08-15T21:14:00.000-07:00

You know . . . it never made much sense to me either. And I'm prone to point things like this out in video games especially FFXI and Zelda.

It's probably supposed to be one of those times where you suspend your disbelief . . . I think.
