Game Update 43 Preview

By Keith Cross on Feb 29, 2008

SOE has posted a preview of Game Update 43 for EverQuest II, which includes new loot assignment tools, new transportation bells, changes to the Ironforge Exchange in Qeynos, Froglok mannequins, and more.

New Group Looting Options!
For Game Update 43 there will be a "Need Before Greed" option as well as a "Round Robin" option added to your looting options. These will not be forced upon the group, but additions to the list that's already available.

-"Need before greed"
For those that think that the present "Lotto" system is not quite robust enough, you can choose to use the "Need Before Greed" option. In using this looting choice, when someone within your group loots an item, those within that group are given the option to select "need", "greed", or "decline" for each item in a chest. The item will be assigned to a random player within the group that chooses "need". If no players within the group choose "need", the loot item will be randomly assigned to a player within the group who chooses "greed".
