SOO.... Until the code is fixed... to not have any item drops you must.... 1- Never equip a shield in slot II prior to a transition ( probably good measure no weapon too) 2-Never sell a BB item or weapon 3-Never load a saved game (just let this puppy run until you are ready to restart) 4-Never use Stash 5-Never touch BB wiz cloak unless you are feelin lucky and the first time you move it it comes off and stays off 6- Never bother playing a game that on opening scene bb priest and bb wiz shields are not visible, they are really there. 7- To be determined

?? is it possible only the inn and armory transition from inside to outside triggers the shield in slot II drop of
equipped weapons, as opposed to the slot itself being the trigger, since this transition does not trigger it?
enter inn same as before a hatchet and sword
NOTE the shield did not drop anywhere yet...
leave inn
enter armory
see all bb weapons I sold on floor plus hatchet and sword but NOT SHIELD.
soo... the items I sold dropped to floor because I sold them and the hatchet and

1- Never equip a shield in slot II prior to a transition ( probably good measure no weapon too)
2-Never sell a BB item or weapon
3-Never load a saved game (just let this puppy run until you are ready to restart)
4-Never use Stash
5-Never touch BB wiz cloak unless you are feelin lucky and the first time you move it it comes off and stays off
6- Never bother playing a game that on opening scene bb priest and bb wiz shields are not visible,
they are really there.
7- To be determined
