Subject: NO DROP ITEM (was Guise of the Deceiver)


It doesn't work anymore. Now if you give a NO DROP item to a mob, it will
take it, but it won't be there after you killed it. If you want to test it,
make a new char and you will have 5 NO DROP food and 5 NO DROP water. Try
to give them to rats and snakes and see if you can get any back.

Here is another warning about NO DROP item. If you have a NO DROP item
inside a backpack when you died, make sure you have space in your inventory
before you loot the backpack. A normal backpack will drop to the ground if
you don't have enough space, but a backpack with a NO DROP item will
***DISAPPEAR*** if you try to loot it and you don't have room.
