Does anyone remember....

The drop comnand for pets? For the longest time you could tell your freshly tamed pet to drop their loot. Why can't we do that anymore?

 

[FrejaSP]

Petname drop

Petname drop

Thank you my dragon just dropped 2000 gold and some gems

 

[Fridgster]

Really..... odd i tried on a rune beetle and didnt get anything... definatly worked on your dragon?

 

[Lord Nabin]

Wow, Never knew that lol. Well even an old Sage can learn something new

Maybe only old kind of pets know the command

Does your rune beetle have a name with a space in it? At least in CC, it used to work with single word names only. "all drop" or "my greater Dragon drop" won't get any pet response.

Also if the pet has died.... won't work. And the pet has to be bonded to work.

Pretty sure pets used to have the get or fetch command a long time ago but people were using them to rob houses so I think they axed it.

 

[FrejaSP]

Yes I remember the fetch command too

'pet name drop' needs to be used after the pet has bonded and before it has died. Once it has died any loot was left on its corpse.
I have used it after that point - when the pet has been fighting an archer - ratman, juka lord, centuar etc. Used then you'll get a few arrows

Now I have to ask; So if your pet very rarely (Okay, never) dies, and you often send it to kill Archery based Mobs, it could eventually find itself encumbered and unable to walk very far because it's chock full of a million arrows? Or a billion arrows, depending on the ridiculous STR attribute it may possess.

Hypothetically speaking anyway...

Your pet's inventory could be worth more then the pet itself, and would be sought after by Hunters across the lands, wishing to slain it for it's incredible Archery Supply loot. I guess all those hunters would be on Beetles with Pack Horses too, to spread the inevitable load of so many arrows.

Edit: Oh damn, I forgot to account for a maximum of 125 unique piles of items in the inventory, and then (presumably) 999 arrows per stack? My whole dream has come crashing down :/ I can't imagine all those piles will exceed a high-end tamed creatures weight limit...

Potentially arrows can be in packs of 60k just like regs. But then you wonder because new mob might mean new pile of arrows.... but probably not ...... but if it was you'd run into the problem of 125 items...

when I said 'a few' that's what I meant, half a dozen or so.

 

[CrazyDave]

I have some of those purplish bunnies that are bonded and never have died. I wonder what loot they had? Anyone remember? I'll have to check that out when I get home.

 

[Whitewolf of *VK*]

hmm so in theroy i could go to destard, tame all the dragons and greater dragons, have them all drop their loot and release them, so the next person to come dragon hunting will get quit a shock

Except they apparently need to bond now.

Right.

I don't think they had loot. I wish we could have an event like that again. I love my purple bunnies.
