I have a general question that I've been wondering for some time, but haven't seen an answer to.
Does the action taken (killing vs. helping vs. trading/ swindle vs. mezz vs. bezerk) affect what items (weapons dropped, silver and crystal probabilities, etc) result from the encounter?
Thanks guys, W

Some actions result in only getting half their items. Unfortunately, I don't remember how exactly that works.
My memory's a little hazy but IIRC:
Killing (any skill as long the enemy dies), Swindling, and Hypnosis all take everything they can drop.
Helping, Seducing, Trading, and answering riddles only results in getting half their items.
Item drop rates are not affected, but if what I remembered is true, you'd have a lower chance of getting silvers and crystals with an action that results in getting half the spoils since it's possible for the item to load, then not get it.
Long story short, don't make an action that only takes half items.

Yup. You've got it, Xene. Though TheAnt got a pair of SSS from Seducing a Mermaid.

Well with that bulbous abdomen and such a perky pair of antennae that The Ant has...I'm surprised a pair of SSS is all she got from that mermaid.

Yeah It's still possible, but also, you'd never know if a creature actually had a silver or crystal until you loot it, so if you happened to trade with a monster who keeps their silver/crystal, you'd never know about it.

thanks ant for viding such things so its now a 100% confirmed fact that anyone CAN get half a loot and still got a silver or crystal.... yet to have a maximum of chances to get such, , one must always kill the criters.
We got a topic in omnisciant teling about it all
