Looting
In the event of a playerstun or playerkill, items may be taken from a victim’s body according to the following rules:
1) You may loot up to two statted items per stunned character or corpse. These include most weapons, armor, jewelry, sheaths, hold items, and lights. Anything that boosts a character’s stats when equipped or costs rewardpool to restring is limited in this manner.
2) You may loot any number of unstatted items per stunned character or corpse. These include staves, scrolls, pills, potions, gold/silver, bait, fishing rods, drink containers, boats, pelts, books, food, and dice. Such items are generally free restrings. This privilege may be revoked at staff discretion in the case of excessive looting (for example, if you are taking every single item that falls under this condition from a single player).
3) In the event that you have stunned or PKed a thief to recover your belongings, you may take any and all items that were stolen from you, provided that you can present IC evidence that those particular items belonged to your character. You may not take any other items if you choose to engage in a recovery mission. Speculation is not acceptable evidence.
The entire attacking group must follow these rules for each victim stunned or PKed regardless of the number of people involved in the fight. This does not include items lost from disarming weapons or exploding bags. Containers and their contents count as separate items. These rules govern all types of theft, including strip, grab, and steal.
A player who stumbles upon a player corpse containing items is not permitted to loot or to destroy the corpse by any means. You may only loot if you took part in incapacitating the target. Once the body has crumbled away, items on the ground are free game.
Exploiting loopholes in order to full loot will not be tolerated. While hiding a corpse is permitted as long as the owner can retrieve his or her belongings, it is illegal to camp for the purpose of looting more than your fair share.
Please be considerate with restrings since these are rewards given to the player for good roleplay and have been earned. Restrings that are immediately destroyed will be returned to the owner.
When in doubt, ask an immortal. Please note that the staff has final say in all rulings regarding looting.
