Possible Bug: Timers for items not locked down or secured

DM_Wyvern · May 8

Hi @Community Manager

This evening, live on stream, I was trying to decorate the newly placed guild citadel for TWL.

It hadn't been two hours, and we began noticing containers and items vanishing. We don't think another player stealthed in to steal items, and wanted to check and see what timers are like for items that aren't locked down or secured on New Legacy.

Apparently, over on production shards, they can persist for up to two hours. Has this been tweaked for New Legacy?

Decay also depends on the amount of items the chest has as well. The heavier the chest, the faster it will decay. Do you know if the chest had a lot of items in it or was it empty?

Hi Fenneko!

We didn't know the link between container weight and decay times. Yes, the chests were packed and weighed down with items.

Hi @Community Manager Fenneko!

Is this information on decay timers still accurate? Have they been changed for production or New Legacy in recent years?

That page is years and years old! at least before 2006 and probably a lot older than that. I'm afraid I don't have any current decay information.

DM_Wyvern · May 9

Yeah. Apparently almost 20 years old @Mariah!

Lesson learned: Lock and forget, not log and regret.

Howdy, Stranger!
