I have my harvesting set on a macro - /lootall /harvest... F1 is meat, F2 is hide, on the shift row.
Last niteI was on Dath beating on Rancors and anything else we could find. After the 2d set I start getting odd "loot". I am harvesting meat (carni has 1000 flavor and a 700+ OQ, is this good?). I get the "you looted" message.
It's hide. I looted the hide off the creature. No, not Rancor hide, regular old hide.
I did this 4 times more.
We killed some Maklocks, same deal, I harvest meat, loot hide. Once bone.
I seem to recall this happening before, but not for a while. Is this a stealth addition to loot/harvesting?

I dunno. I looted almost a full set of bone armor last night when I was hunting though.

I looted some Mabari Armorweave pants off of a rancor the other night. I guess the rancor ate someone wearing them.

Not that i know of JB. Its beena bug for a while now. Sometimes (i think near server boundaries etc) you get the stuff you harvest put into the creature's 'container' and then you end up looting it.
Im not sure what happens but you still harvest the critter as normal but instead of the hide/meat/bone transfering to your inventory, it goes into the critter container.
When this starts happening you need to keep a watch out over your corpses because sometimes it says you have harvests x units but they dont get put into your inventory, they are still on the creature in its container ready for looting.
Its a strange bug and very hard to recreate.

Could it be that someone else was trying to harvest the hide, but their inventory was full and it got dropped as 'loot' on the creature?
I know if I try to harvest from a creature with no room left, it gets left on the corpse until I make room and 'loot all'.

This has been happening since the "loot" revamp. Supposedly, some of the loot is based on your lower professions. For example if you're a master scout, you'll get loot most likely related to resources when you loot. yesterday I was looting fungi, berries, wheat etc.. off of kunga, janta, and mokk. I think I read somewhere about the profession based loot. Could be wrong.
cheers.

I had the same problem with the rancors we were killing yesterday. I my inventory was full, I cleared it out a bit and I didn't have the problem.

Wood off an Ewok. No...I usually don't kill Ewoks but this one was a request from a hungry Witch.

I was hunting nym's flunkies last night hoping to score some motors. One of the spawns I found included a domesticated gurk, who attacked me when I started shooting up the place. After the battle, as I walked around rifling through dead folks' pockets, I figured 'what the hell, let's see if the gurk has anything.' To my surprise and amusement, he did. Damn thing was packing a cdef pistol.
First, gurks living in crude structures, and now this. They're evolving, I tells ya. Watch your back.
