no ingredient drop?

[chronomancer]

It's my understanding from the wiki that if a creature is capable of dropping an ingredient, it always will? Today I encountered a Fire Wyrm, and expected to find a Vial of Fire Wyrm Saliva (I assume the two go together?) on it's death, but no such luck. As it happens, I (as a yeek) dominated it, and then it was dead at the end of combat - I suspect at enemy hands, though it's possible the domination expired without my noticing it. Not sure if that makes any difference?

Was it actually a Wyrm? Or was it just a Drake?

Definitely a wyrm, I had been searching for one for some time, and was all excited to finally find one. (They also stand out visually, being two tiles tall.)

[HousePet]

Well I'm impressed you managed to dominate it then.

I didn't think that the dominate interfered with the ingredient drop either.

I have nothing to add to this thread other than to say, I love your name OP

Housepet: *shrug*, well I got the vial eventually. Dominate is a great 1-point wonder, though it doesn't seem to benefit much from investment. (One of the reasons I want to get into modding is to attempt to tweak stuff so every skill is equally viable... if that's even possible.) I love to dominate the strongest creature in a group and let it tank for me, or draw fire while I run away.

edge2054: thanks! I've been using variants on time-themes intermittently as usernames since grade school. I think I used the phrase "time lord" before I started watching the doctor, by pure coincidence. Seemed appropriate for this game, I look forward to trying the temporal classes.
