Continuing the discussion from Putting food in thrall pots reverts nudity to none:
The thread is closed, but I am still seeing what the OP describes, except that it is only archers and fighters for me. Dancers and Bearers don’t have any new items popping up in their inventory or on their paperdolls. Is it a coincidence that bearers and dancers spawn off the wheel with the gear they had when you knocked them out, whereas fighers and archers spawn with the same low level gear that magically appears on them after a thrall pot refresh or a restart?
