Can this be fixed so that those greatswords go into the junk pile please? It has GOT to be an issue for the system.

While it's important to use the right loot, the swords should also be flagged to decay.

And how someone gets to sky giants without knowing about loot options is amazing.

Are the greatswords working any differently than the weapons/armor you generate off another creature if you loot them the same way? Quickly glancing at the code it looks like they're set up the same way as hundreds of other armor/weapon spawns on creatures.

I LOOT TREASURE on sky giants when I hunt them so that I don't have to deal with boxes, and have this same issue. It's not a matter of using the proper LOOT command, for what it's worth. They stack up from killing the giants somehow before the looting occurs.

They fire the bolts and these jut pile up for a LONG time piles upon piles.

Adan'f warriors do this too. If you destroy their arms, they drop their hammers and shields, which eventually fill the room.

Does "dump junk" work for the longswords?

Huh, not sure why I thought they did.

Yes, it does (Though so close to nothing it might as well not be doing anything!).

I also fixed a token while I was there.

Disable the grab, turn normal looting back on.

The grab is obnoxious and ruins hunting there with ranged. And it adds nothing. Could just as well be flavor messaging. They're great otherwise, but mostly useless as is.

Fire maidens/fire sprites are (or rather should be) backtraining for me, as they don't train my defenses anymore. However despite not training defenses I can't guard against the fire maidens' fire shard spell, which hits like a mack truck. Even when I pull out my primary weapon (which they don't train either) to kill them ASAP if I get three or four maidens spawn in a row, or if two or three maidens spawn at the same time, I'm dead. This would mean that people who actually are at level with the fire maidens have no chance of hunting there without getting terribly wounded or killed immediately.

If you have the skill to cast the analagous patterns spell Lay Ward that does wonders to protect against spellcasting critters. Pay close attention to when you need to refresh it though because critter TM will own you when it drops.

I'd say 99% of special critter attacks are broken right now. There has been hundreds of posts on it and its on a list somewhere. A very low priority somewhere.

Over in Plat, I have a char who can hunt black leucroes now- but takes a severe battering from fire maidens' fireshards, when the said maidens are several steps down the critter ladder. This is with stance shield and indeed over 200 ranks of shield, and 179 of evasion.

If anyone needs to observe, I can log the character in and run into the area.

Ok, I found it once I went back and looked at my logs and search for "your ward".
I was focusing on the second part because my health was dropping and the screen was scrolling, I was not reading the part "You feel a chill....."
Unfortunately, ever shaman cast breached my ward

A goblin shaman gestures at you.
You feel a chill as a spell breaches your ward!
Several shards of elemental flame fly at you!

The air around you solidifies into a slight yellow flicker and throws off shimmering light in the wake of the attack.
The fire shard glances off your shield.
The fire shard glances off your back, singeing it a little.
The air around you solidifies into a slight yellow flicker, buckling and losing much of its mass under the force of the attack.
The fire shard glances off your shield.
Your nose is singed a bit by the fire shard.
A fire shard misses you!

Did not try stances.
I was there to hunt eels and since shaman really to not teach my skills, I moved to eels in Crossing.
