Equipped item disappeared

[phoneincereals]

I'm a mage player, and I've been wearing "Thick Leather Gloves" longer than any item I'm currently wearing. One morning, I log onto forgotten tales and while fishing at 0,0 I notice my gloves simply just gone. I don't really have any specific ideas about what might've happened other than me accidentally taking them off AND THEN deleting them from my inventory, but I feel like I would've probably noticed that. I'm pretty new to FT however I never imagined something like this happening. I don't really care about the gloves themselves, but about this happening again, because what if the same happens to other items currently being worn that were harder to gain access to?

Just a thought...

If you are killed in PvP there is a 30% chance you drop an item you carry (except weapon) and the opponent can decide whether or not they wish to collect it.

Did this happen?

true.
if you get killed in pvp you can lose equipment.
Did you die in pvp?

Prob because of PvP. After death you lose a RANDOM item form your equiped items and it does not include a weapon. If you get killd by a monster this can't happen. Allways unequip items if you think you will die in PvP. A 30% chance to lose your itmes ain't a good deal!

Ah, yes. I did indeed die a few times. That adds so much horror to this game now. I checked the game manual after this and, well, at least your weapon cannot disappear, yeah.

But still, scary stuff.

in fact it is not a pleasant thing.
Not so much at low levels, but at high levels the equipment is rare and expensive .....
I do not like it!

It's well worth reading the game rules and forum rules every now and again. They can be found in this sub-forum:
