Masterloot with a group from 1 - 30. You will all end up with more gold than usual because everyone generally has enough gold for the best tier of equipment you can by at that relative level. With the best equipment everyone outputs more damage, and takes less incoming damage thus reducing the output of gold into raise dead scrolls, heal kits and potions.
Even if the Masterlooter is taking a few thousand gold here or there more than he or she should, its still a far more effective system than anything else provided because the Masterlooter can be the one with the appraise check, int score and appraise gear.
At sales time its not unusual for the party I am with to break 2 or 3 million in loot sales.
I recall breaking 1 million before level 18 on two characters. It works best. Use it.

The same people who think the ABC system is fair, probably thinks weapons that deal 1d12 damage are the same as those that deal 2d6. Anyways, it's not really up to the devs to do anything about it, so I'll just stick to naming my characters with letters that start more twoard the beginning of the alphabet.

I'm not even sure why the chest was put in to begin with, there's no IC reason for it working the way it would and two, no one uses it because it gives base value, not appriase and merchant modified value, so you make a pittance from it.
... and if people are ABC looting right, everyone gets the same loot. the problem is that when there hasn't been a loot drop for a while, everyone forgets whose loot turn it was. What do they do? start from the beginning of the abc. I've seen this happen in one party at least 3 times in one run. also want to note that when the people are quitting at some point, and their last loot was picked was Bob, therefore Cheryl(and the others who are after her) got 1 loot less than the others. (if that made any sense) what I try to say that abc loot equals only when the last one looting in the hunt is the last one in the order. _________________ My favourite sniper loadout: Huntsman, jarate, bushwacka.

I don't like ABC loot, but since you're quoting that particular part, I'd suggest that not paying attention to whose turn it is is 'not doing it right.'

I play a character with X as the first letter of his name.
I still like the ABC system better.

ABC system creates Lots of occ nonsense. Anything that reduces occ nonsense is good.

If people know alphabetical order without spamming letters all the time, it creates precisely zero OOC nonsense. >.>

I never bother to worry about the loot order. I go with whatever the others insist on. I do prefer having the str mule collect and appraisal guru sell though.

No one uses it because it's less convenient than divvying up the loot as you get it on the spot, or master looting with appraise. The Chest is a relic dating back to old Arelith... and no one used it then, either.

Why? The function of the chest can already be adequately executed through RP'd cooperation.

Because it's ' Waukeens Chest'. A symbol of the prosperity of Cordor, A relic of history, that which exists in all temples of Waukeen. Quote: To worship Waukeen is to know wealth. To guard your funds is to venerate her, and to share them well seeds your future success. Call on her in trade, and she will guide you in wise commerce. The bold find gold, the careful keep it, and the timid yield it up. Now let us call upon her in trade, And let her share them in the spirit of future success! Freakin' hell, I'd call it a Tourist attraction!

Svensk has indeed hit on something, but not a reason to update it....
