Ichthyornis stealing narcotics has GOT to stop.
Stealing meat or berries I get. Stealing your weapon when you're fighting it I get. But it should never steal and eat a full stack of narcotics. Certainly not without immediately dying from an overdose.

That remind me of the scene where schawtzerneger says COCAINUM!

This kind of stuff is why Icthyornis is permamently on my list of KOS dinos. Right next to it's terrestrial counterpart the Pego, which is basically what this bird is, but with wings.

They need to add alkeseltser to be able to put in your inventory to counter the birds...

i made a similar thread with similar circumstances. i wont hold my breath for either issue.

Agreed! Furthermore it would be nice if they could actually drop weapons and other noneconsumeable stuff, since they never drop anything. As soon as they have something stolen from you it´s inevitably gone..

Put some raw meat in your 0 hotbar. It will only steal from there if there's always something in it.
Does 90% of the player base live on the water or something? I live next to the swamp and haven't seen 1 of these things in weeks unless I head to the ocean and then I just long neck em before I ever get close!

They hover over the beach. The ichthyornis lives on beaches too.

I've complained about this myself more than once.. I've lost close to 10k narcotics because of those blasted things..

Full inventory... weapons.. armor.. meat.. berries.. ammo.. and it's always.. ALWAYS!! the damn narcotics they steal..

I seriously wish there was some kind of poisoned food item we could make that thieving wilds would steal first and then kill themselves.. that would be amazing XD

Unless you get group ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by them you shouldn't be losing so much. Have something useless in slot 0. If you get swooped, blow off their face with your gun. If you're new, an arrow.

That doesn't work with the birds.. I always carry a torch in my 0 slot because of pegos
the birds ignore the 0 slot and go straight for my narcotics.

Oh. Someone said it does work that way.

I've lost a Celestrial Sniper(the gun was level 643.7)to one of those blasted birds. So, yes, I feel your pain. Just put something(like another poster said)in the 0 hotbar. Though I have noticed in some servers(just my experience on this)it doesn't matter if it's in 0 or not. I've lost all my cooked prime meat a couple of times when it was located in the hotbar and other items that were in my inventory when I didn't have them in my hot bar. GO figure.

As far as I've seen, the birds always drop a weapon immediately after grabbing it. I've always been able to find it on the ground and recover it. Thieving lizards, though, run off into the underbrush with it and if they don't get stuck on a rock, then good luck recovering it.

Narcotics aren't always the first thing they grab from me. But really if they grab it, they should either drop it quickly after discovering they can't eat it...or die from an overdose.
