All hail Lootius?

After getting my new goblin armor set yesterday I no longer had a need for my pixie set. It was in a full state of repair, so wasn't hard to sell. I did the usual touting at Atlantis and Phoenix and it wasn't long until someone paid my full asking price. That put a few more PEDs in my pocket, which was nice.

I still had a large selection of armor parts left though, so I thought I'd try selling them on to new people for the TT price, in PED or sweat at 1.2PEC per bottle. This seemed like a nice thing to do, and it would hardly hurt me financially. I'd been helped out when I arrived, so it only seemed fair to return the favour.

After selling my first item I had the distinct feeling I'd be duped. Just after completing the sale the buyer put on an expensive harness just to show they weren't new here. That annoyed me, since I'm fairly sure they'll sell the item on for a profit. After some advice from my society friends I went to purchase a scanner. This would allow me to determine if someone was really new or not.

I was still having trouble selling the remaining items, which was surprising. I decided to find a new spot and headed north of Port Atlantis to the barn. This is a common place for new people to go and sweat, which means they're likely to have either sweat or PED and probably want armor.

Whilst I was there I spent a while helping them out. I finished off creatures when they had been drained of sweat, and I attracted the attention of creatures that were badly hurting someone. I also used my first aid pack on quite a few occasions.

So there's quite a lot of good deeds here. Selling armor for cheap, even taking sweat. Protecting and helping new people. Clearly Lootius, the supposed God of loot, smiled on this and rewarded me. One young Berycled gave me a loot of 9PED, and overall I took nearly 23PED in loot, far more than I'd spent in ammo.

All in all a good day.
