What happens when I drop items?

[koki007]

Hi!

When I got back from Dark realm i have Dakkru curse so I've droped my swords and armor just to be able to move.  I move away for just few meters and when I look back all items are gone and one player was standing there, he said the he is new and that he did not take my staff. I don't have money for shields, they are to expensive , I now I'm defendless

So I'm want to know can my stuff just disappear and can other players pickup my stuff when I drop them?

your items are "guarded" as long as you are within a certain range of the, if you move too far they are fair game for anyone to pickup and take. also Shields dont work in combat [has been reported elsewhere on the forum]. More then likely someone took the items, Things dont disappear that quickly unless they have been picked up by someone.

I was in front of Laanx Temple, on the road, and then moved just off the road, just few meters.

So that guy lied to lie to me and probably take all my stuff...

If nobody else was around, unfortunately, that is the most likely reason your items vanished. In future, try to drop only non-essential items or sell your items to the guardian in the DR to at least be able to afford to replace most of your items.

Or you can just wait for the curse to expire - nothing lost then
