Ok this is getting under my skin. You work hard n an overland monster boss. It finally dies. You get the achievement for klllling the monster, but it don't turn yellow, no loot there on the body. Nada. You ask in area chat where s the loot. Everybody points. It's not there for me. Ths has happened a bunch of times now. Really tired of this. Needs to be fixed. Or what? Anybody know?

    I just came here to find the definition of "gee" when used in this sentence.

    Is it Scottish slang? :trollface:

    Were you zerging it down with 25 other people? Only first 12 people or something get loot I think. Or those who did some substantial damage to contribute (I believe healing counts too). I really don't remember but there're limitations on number of people that can get loot, this is intended.

    I once got a boss corpse become invisible and I had to position myself carefully to be avle to loot.

    For the issue you had, there were either 12 others outdamaging you on the boss, or you are on the cooldown for boss loot (5 mins, to prevent farming).

    Or something like that... or is it you have to do 12% of its HP in damage? I can't find an official post on what exactly the criteria are, but there are criteria.

    That said, sometimes RNG just doesn't drop any loot for you, even on the bosses. It's not a bug, just a roll of the die. There's nothing for it but to move on with your day.
    Living vicariously through my characters.

    My Girls:
    "If you were trapped in your house for, say, a year, how would you pass the time?"

    Nephikah the Houseless, dunmer assassin: "I suppose I could use the break. I have a lot of business holdings now that need management."
    Swum-Many-Waters, elderly argonian healer: "I think that I would enjoy writing a memoir."
    Silh'ki, khajiit warrior-chef: "Would this one be able to go outside, to the nearby river? It's hard to fish without water!"
    Peregrine Huntress, bosmer hunter: "Who is forcing me to stay inside, and where can I find them?"
    Lorenyawe, altmer mechanist: "And why would I want to go outside in the first place? Too much to be done in the workshop."
    Lorelai Magpie, breton master thief: "I'd go nuts. Lucky for me, I have a little experience sneaking out!"
    Rasheda the Burning Heart, redguard knight: "I would continue my training to keep my skills sharp."
    Hex-Eye Azabi, khajiit daedric priestess: "I suppose it would be lucky, then, that I built a shrine to Mephala in my backyard."
    Yngva Stormhammer, nord bandit (reformed...ish): "I hate being inside even when I'm not forced to be. GET. ME. OUT."
    Madam Argentia, vampire dunmer aristocrat: "I suppose it would be more of the same. I have a rather... contentious relationship with the sun."
    Mazie gra-Bolga, orc scout: "Uh... I'd have to house train my bear..."
    Felicia the Wanderer, imperial witch-for-hire: "What Lorelai said."
    Calico Jaka-dra, retired khajiit pirate: "This one would like a rest from her grand adventures. Her jewel shop runs out of stock!"
    Shimmerbeam, blind altmer psijic: "Provided that I am confined to Artaeum, I do not think I will want for things to occupy my time."
    Shauna Blackfire, redguard necromancer: "Sounds like paradise. I hate people."
    Kirniel the Undying, cursed bosmer warrior: "I would feel useless, not being able to fight."
    Echoes-from-Dragons, argonian who thinks she's a dragon: "All the better to count my hoard!"

    All this time I thought RNGesus hated me. I never stopped to consider that it may be somebody else foiling my plans. Those dastardly Ministers of Loot!

    Ok.....on this occasion, it was the first time I kilt the monster. :-D
    That's why the "achievement" I mentioned popped up. (Ya gotta use yer noggin peeps).
    So it was not farming. Farming still turns em yellow, ya just get a wee bag o gold...
    There were three people there besides me.
    I did a very large chunk of the damage. At least a third of it.
    This is usually the way it goes when this happens.
    I've never seen twelve people on a single overland world boss. That would be lovely actually, it would go fast.
    So, interesting though the comments are...they don't apply to any of the times this has happened to me.

    And oh, well now I know...my freakin iPad is Scottish. Or I was up way too late in eso land....

    I got 5 gold from one of the world bosses in Morrowind the other day. A real incentive. :/

    That's the boss timer. You kill multiple bosses in too short a timeframe, and you're locked out to prevent you from sitting in a delve and camping the boss with 20 other bots, spamming one attack.

    Except, at least one of the bosses in Morrowind is bugged, so they always drop like you're on the lockout timer. :(
