Darghelm, in the Foothills of Ulvania

Maybe I understand loot wrong, but I was under the impression that all creatures should guarantee some form of loot independent of free golem capacity (to allow loot when fighting the dragons). I have been attacking the mountain giant with a 0 pounds free golem and getting no loot...am I completely wrong or is this a bug?

0 free=0 loot, pretty much always.

That used to be true.

Arkham said:

To support higher level creatures, a capacity-related treasure tweak went live today.

Previously, capacity could reduce the loot scored from a kill to potentially zero. Now you are guaranteed 50% of the random roll regardless of capacity. The remaining 50% can be reduced to nothing depending on capacity.

This was done because there are some powerful upcoming creatures that will require golems to be loaded down with weaponry and armour. It hardly seemed fair to make players go through that effort only to drag back a pittance afterwards!

This change ONLY affects loot from creatures. Looting a player's workshop continues to work as before (meaning you can still get little to none if your golem has no room for carrying treasure).

In addition, there were some minor bug fixes (empty ammo weapons firing once) and messaging adjustments.

Kep


I am sure this is the reason for the question being raised.

In a later thread he added:

"The other issue is that the guaranteed half can still be reduced to zero if the golem is overburdened (which is actually intentional -- a golem with zero carrying capacity SHOULD return with nothing).

Kep"

So 0 capacity should result in 0 loot still.

The issue is that Kep is confusing.

That it could very well be.

In any case I would try just leaving a few pounds free and see how it works. Maybe the code is written with an if 100% load then 0 loot statement somewhere.

Thanks for the reference Necaria, always handy to see where something originated. Poor turtle golems never have any fun.
