Odd looting issue...

(I used Percy_Clutches to test). I put a script on an npc in the pok, simply using "plugin::SendToInstance" and after I killed Percy, I was able to loot the robe and staff, no problem.

After that, I created another version of snpool, but with a custom NPC and fully custom item on it. Again, I used an npc script to enter the instance with:

plugin::SendToInstance("solo", "snpool", 1, 137, -5, -19, "EXP", 360);

I was able to loot the custom item without issues, but I am not sure just exactly what your setup involves at all, maybe something a little deeper ? (I used "solo", rather than group or public, just for testing)

Edit - Forgot to add, I used a quest::addloot under a simple EVENT_SPAWN script in the snpool instance with the custom item and I was still able to loot it no problem.

It only happens when the instance is set up as global with no expiration. Just add the zone to the instance_list and flag it as is_global & never_expires. Only reason I had it set up this way was to work on the quest script... once created via perl... it worked fine. Thought it was at least worth mentioning, in case I was doing something wrong... or there was an actual issue.
