anthemambient Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Each has a 2 hour time limit and I'm curious if it's group-bound with the group members I've grouped with, or can it be traded with anyone? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElitehunterDS Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 just the group you have been with when that item dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacksonMo Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Seems to apply to all BoP items, not just gear. Got an armormech schematic last sunday, brain cramp caused me to roll on it with a cybertech toon. Thankfully the timer is game time, not real time. So I was able to trade it to a guildie who could actually use it, by NOT logging in till I caught someone on to trade with a few days later.

Eternalnight Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 if it's group-bound with the group members I've grouped with Just being grouped is not enough. It is tradable to those who were eligible to loot it. If a group member is outside the instance at the time it was looted, and therefore was not eligible to loot it, you can't trade it to him, even if he was grouped with you.

I think this existed since launch; I remember everyone saying not to pick up loot because someone was outside of instance as a result of wiping. Thanks Eternalnight.

You can also miss out on loot if you're too far away and the group opens the chest without you. Not sure what the radius is, but I missed looting a chest once because I was bioanalysing a dead mob. Really annoyed me as I could have really used that gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should join us, it's fairly standard for somebody to foul up, and we all have a good laugh about it. A few of mine have resulted in teasing weeks later.
