I was hoping to get some tips from the community on the protocol for looting when running a quest as part of a group. I frequently play solo but will join a group on occasion. I’ve read some previous posts on “ninja looting” and it got me thinking about some quests I’ve run where it was just a free-for-all looting event. In several instances at the end of the quest, all members of the group went their own separate ways - along with the contents of treasure chests. I expected to gather in a tavern or something to divide the goods but maybe I’m wrong. I’m not heartbroken (as I got my XP and favor), but as I advance in levels there may be quality items from chests that I truly need.

Is there a protocol or best practice for sharing treasure chest content after a quest ends? Aside from getting items I need from tough quests, I’m also trying to improve my own play when joining groups. Any feedback from the community would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
