Looting

Gloria Victis has a partial loot system, which places limitations on looting downed players. This is different from many PvP games' full loot systems where a downed player can have every single item and all his equipment stripped from his body. Gloria Victis has a variety of loot enabled and loot disabled events and areas to fit many playstyles.

The Looting System

In loot enabled areas and events, the following rules apply:

The downed player:

• is lootable for 30 seconds from the moment of death (25 seconds if he has the Fighter buff, gained by having 2,000 Nation Points).
  
• can be looted for a total of 10 points worth of gear and materials per death. (see chart below)

The looting player:

• must be very close to the body.
• must look at the downed player's blood stain to access loot.
• must spend several seconds to loot one item.
• must not be interrupted by taking damage (ranged or melee) while looting. This will reset the progress bar. They may try again, but crucial seconds will elapse.
• receives the base item, not the skin, when looting an item with a skin applied to it.

The loot:

• Weapons, armor, and crafting materials can be looted.
• Recipes can be looted.
• Consumables like food and potions can be looted.
• Equipped gear can be looted.
• Money cannot be looted.
• Mounts cannot be looted.
• Equipped bags can be looted if empty.
• Skins cannot be looted.
• Crafting materials and other items are looted in stacks of up to 100. A stack of 2,452 coal or 125 Monastic Wine will be looted in stacks of 100, for example.
• Players setting Player Stalls in lootable areas who are killed can be looted as normal. The stall will disappear after the first damage is taken.

Loot Screen Guide

Loot Costs

Chest piece	8
Pants	8
Weapon	8
Shield	8
Helm	6
Shoulders	6
Gloves	6
Boots	6
100 Materials	2

Regardless of item tier or quality, loot costs for gear are based on their equipment slot. Meaning that the worst sword costs the same amount of loot points as the best sword.

TIPS:

• Use the Depot to store valuables
• Split up stacks of materials and items into small stacks so that 100 do not get looted at a time.
• Keeping a messy inventory can bog down looters searching for gear.
• You can only be looted for 1 piece of gear, per death, so there is no reason to stuff all your gear in the depot.
• Have some Bait gear in your bags. An Orange +6 will cause someone to look, but if it's a low durability, almost broken item they will have wasted some time looking at it and possibly looting it.

Loot Priority

Any player who does 70% or more of the total damage to a player receives a 3 second loot priority on the victim. This is to prevent opportunists from simply taking the loot someone else "earned." After 3 seconds, anyone may loot the body as normal.

Non-Loot events

The non-loot indicator will pop up in your Status Tray when you are in a non-loot area.

Non-loot events:

• Valley of Death Tournaments
  
• Siege events occurring directly after the Valley of Death Tournaments. These are 25 minute non-loot events. There is a 2 minute period after the siege event ends before loot is turned back on in the area.
• Sea Wraiths

Non-loot areas:

• The Arena
• Areas near the capital city including the 2 farms closest to the capital city.
• The area immediately surrounding the non-loot siege events following the Valley of Death Tournaments.
