Underdark Drops

[joleda]

My level 18 dwarf is nearly broke. He cannot loot a single chest in the underdark. Nothing that he can kill to gain decent xp drops anything other than tangle foot bags, lock picks, holy water, loose change, etc. I'm not about to farm the beetle area and take away xp from newer characters.

It would be nice if slimes, helmed horrors, giant snakes, and basilisks actually dropped magical items. But, after killing several hundred, I can confirm they do not.

The Helmed Horrors do not drop loot bags. Instead, you must loot their corpses after they die and before their corpse disappears. The "sparkly animation" sticks around if you do not successfully retrieve the loot off their corpse before it disappears. In which case, the loot is gone for good.
