Foundry question -- can mobs drop loot?

olepi

I have a question about the Foundry.

Can you have a mob drop loot and XP?

If so, what will stop you from setting up a simple scenario and giving yourself eleventy-billion of them?

Or if not, what would be the point of doing Foundry missions?

The Ryzom Ring would not allow you to drop loot, or get XP.  It is too easy to set up exploits. But you COULD give away your own loot, and also your own "cats", which are XP potions.

So the best hope is that you could populate your mobs with loot that you own, by putting them in escrow for the quest. Does the Foundry work like that?

when you make a monster in the foundry you select a difficulty like hard,normal,easy. The difficulty will auto assign loot and xp to the monster and when the mission is scaled to the players level it will drop appropriate level loot and xp.. you cannot directly(aside from monster difficulty) assign specific  loot/xp values to monsters.

EQ2 gave rewards via a token system, and also gave exp for completion.  It reward tokens to both the particpant and the creator of the dungeon (new dungeon making tools were available via these tokens).

 

EQ2 actually has an awesome framework in place that could be great if further developed.
