So I was messing around climbing mountains, visiting old newb areas, and enjoying the jangan field. Then, I went to the tomb. I remember that place from back in the day, when I saw my first tombstone (and got one shot by it), I remember questing there... It's one of my favorite areas on sro yet I've only been there maybe three times tops. Anyway, I'm on my horse exploring, and I ride towards the area in the corner where that building is. I go behind the building and there's a couple secluded trees in that area. I see an item in the distance, hidden behind one of the trees.. but wait, it seems to be a sos item So I go pick it up, and I get a 16 sos spear. A few seconds later, I see someone log in right behind the tree where the sos was. He moves around for a bit out of confusion, then logs right back out.

I guess he didn't know that your characters share the storage

He didn't even give me enough time to catch his name, or even say anything, and now the spear is going to my friend

Moral of the story- No matter how secluded an area is, there's always a tiny chance someone might show up.. don't drop items!


Edit- To anyone who may think, zomg you are evil!! I said he was only on for a few seconds, I didn't get to catch his name. Then I stayed waiting there for at least 10 minutes to see if he would come back, he didn't, and I bounced.

I learned this the hard way, tried to drop a stone to get on my stall char, came back and it was gone lol

Awww! Poor fella

Yah if a person doesn't get/see it a monkey will

=) poor noob. i feel sry for him. oh well who cares about the noob? sos spear...thats what i care

Stall, how could u! Thats so mean!!!


Lol, before i realised that Storage was sharable i did this, i would be droping like Hunderds of K in gold, Elixers, items, pots, scrolls. All the expensive crap. Then log out n log in really quickly....

But i always did it in town, going to the most distant corner, behind the most distant building... Never got anything stolen..

LOL, at least trade it to a friend to trade it back to you later. And a friend in real life so you can talk to them if they wont return it.

Thats what i use to do before i figured out storage was shared.

But poor guy, though you didn't do anything wrong because if i saw a black box lying on the ground and no one was around i wouldn't think twice but take it.

My brother helped me with all that

"one mans trash is another mans treasure". If he dropped it he surely didnt want it..... Thats what i would say and then ride off with it.

cool....but it's not worth much anyway

Nice. Talk about being in the right place at the right time ^^.

Sux for the newb I guess, but *phew* only a game

well the poor newb proberly got lucky and found a SoSun spear in return

Im guessing Hells isnt giving u that "gift" anytime soon

lol, no sos drop ever, so you steal noob's sos items uh??

Gratz for your second sos "drop"

Only items i got here in Aege by searching the area like that where 12 jewel boxes=12 scrolls
Seems i repel SOX items in a radius of 2km.

+1
fell sorry for him

Stallowned what a shame!!! hope u r proud of u now!

If I saw that poor guy i would have put that item back on the ground.

You know how he must have felt when he had joined back and the item wasn't there?

Your ''10 minutes waiting excuse'' is silly, cause everyone knows how server traffic unpredictable these days is!

GJ hero!

U just used ur advantage

lol. stroke of luck.

id have taken it no matter whos it was, he didnt know someone was to log back in and look for it

someone could have got it and died

theres always a risk with drop trading thats why when i used to do it before i knew about storage, i went past the lvl 30 in chi'n tomb all the way to the end and did it that way

that was me

can I have my spear back plz

i didn't knew you could put stuff in the storage and take it out with another char

There isn't any server traffic at around 12AM

Lucky u and poor fella

LOL! That's got to be a sinking feeling, logging back in and finding it's gone. Question - if you leave a drop on the ground long enough, will it disappear like the junk stuff does, even if the drop is sox???

anywho, got a little OT story for ya.

I got a SOS spear the same way...sorta.

Was on a TG hunt (L44, I know, just got off ticket time and was bored...), and she spawned on a unionmate near the entrance to the western ferry...I was in the stronghold on the western side. So off I gallop like a bat out of hell across the fields, and see a few bots grinding away. Amongst all of the alchemy items, gold, and quest items that weren't being picked up, I saw one or two item boxes and then ::gasp:: an sos box. So I pick it up...ooh, +1 sos spear!!

So i can truthfully say I went on a TG hunt and got a sos spear drop in return.

update on tg: Oh, she got pwnt the moment I got there...4x glavie unionmate got her I was happier about the spear, so I could care less about killing her!
