Shattered Kingdoms

Maybe this is just a string of incredibly wierd coincidences, but I've noticed, on multiple characters, that the brass chainmail from the Emperor's Mail in Nerina sometimes just dissapears off your corpse when you die. The first instance of this was on a Master level character with half-brass half-mithril, who died along with his party on a training mishap. The brass was taken, the mithril and money remained. Which was wierd.. Until my new alt, Initiate level, died training and came back to a brass-less corpse that was still loaded with coin. So.. unless there's some wierdo sneaking around and swiping brass, I'm starting to suspect a bug.

Has this happend to anyone else?

At least some of the armor sold in Nerina is flagged death-rot. That means it disappears when you die. I grant it's weird, but I don't think it's a bug.

It's hard to believe that shop-sold armor like brass is actually flagged death rot.

However, I was always under the impression that stolen armor death rots. Actually buying your equipment does have its advantages.

Yeah, so don't sell it, kill the merchant, and then steal it back. It'll go bye bye.

That's certainly the most likely scenario.

I was much happier when I read the title as:

"The case of the vanishing Bras"

Oh well, perhaps in my sleep it will become that way...

I diddn't do that in either scenario. Though I did kill the brass gnome and take his armor for personal use.

I think that's the only time it'll become that way for you...

Oompa - that's in essence, the same thing.

EDIT: The stun+ take message doesn't flag the item as sold - so if it's on your eq or inventory when you die, it WILL dissappear. However, if you die and it's in a container, it WON'T dissappear.
