On the subject of Lambent quest components, I noticed that the LORE items
that I found last night in Cazic off of Alligators were not able to be
looted PERIOD if you already had such an item in your inventory. In
particular the Alligators were dropping a "Stein" and a "Shovel", both were
ALL/ALL and had NO stat bonuses. Obviously quest items. They were frequent
drops too. After everyone in our group had a "Stein" and a "Shovel" we
simply couldn't loot the alligators anymore and instead received messages
saying something along the lines of 'You already have one such item in your
inventory!'

SO - If it is the case across the board that LORE items, once looted by an
individual, cannot be looted (or even destroyed!) off of a mob by that same
individual, you are going to see a LOT of free lore item calls from groups
camping things like the Lizzy Fanatics in Cazic (mudwater runes).

Again, my group left a trail of Alligators with Steins and Shovels on them
because we COULDN'T loot or destroy these items.

Has anyone else encountered this LORE item behavior?
