How long does it take for your stuff to despawn after logging off?

  • Got ganked by two really annoying children tonight. Usual loop of respawning, just to get killed again just to respawn and get killed again.

    So I just voted to scuttle my ship and logged out.

    I'm guessing it takes ages for my stuff to disappear, but I was wondering if anyone knew how long?

  • In the water, loot will float for roughly 5-10 minutes or so with Merchant floating the longest before sinking. It can still be retrieved while it is sinking, but once it sinks to the "bottom" of the ocean, it will despawn.

    Items on shore can stay there for a couple of hours before it will despawn, not sure of an exact time on these.

    Items on a players ship should not despawn at all.

    Bit of a shame then, didn't want to give them the satisfaction, but I guess there's nothing I can do there.

    My own damn fault for not heading to the closest outpost.

    ignorance is bliss

    just assume they got kraken'd, hit a keg, and flameheart spawned on their faces

    you're very unlikely to ever see them again so just assume the worst and fuhgeddaboudit
