Might ask one of the Developers oif they can add to the
TLO: AdvLoot tools something that lets you know of the loot is locked behind needing to loot the corpse. Don't think anyone has thought of that yet.
I spent the last week or so updating the MQ2 wiki from patch notes, don't recall seeing anything about that specific situation.
----------------------
An aside note... I found EQ's merge doth suck! or at least it is not as reliable as one could wish.... like the random list not moving over for me. Incase anyone else wants to do this manually and wants some helper tools...
I use
Notepad++. It has a lot of nice features (specially if you take the time to set it up with the macroquest language)
Notepad++ is like MQ in that is has a LOT of plugins you can pick and choose from. Select Plugins-->Plugin Managers-->Show Plugin Manager
From the list you can get the "Combine" plugin to... well combines files! For instance I selected all toon files for one catagor ( say the AN files) opened them with Notepad++ and combined them into one file.
(click pluging --> Combine --> Start, leave options blanks)
Another plugin called "TextFX" or "TextFX Characters" allows you to strip duplicate lines, and puts them in order.
(Select the text to be sorted ( usually CNTL+A) then click TextFX--> TextFX tools--> (Make sure "sort outputs only unique" is checked, Make sure "Sort Ascending" is checked) then select "sort lines case insensitive" or "sort lines case sensitive")
and poof, you can take the list here , plus any of the "main" toons list that want to work with ( say for instance making a caster version , or tank version) or just combine them all if you want, and end up with a master list you can copy/paste into any toon you want and be SURE the list reads what you want it to.
Can be helpful if you are going to say maintain separate tank/caster lists, and want them all update as you discover new items to include/exclude.
