    I actually had a similar question, which has been somewhat answered in this thread, but I'd like to ask anyways. What exactly IS the difference between "Need" and "Greed".

    I've done just a few dungeon runs, and I've gotten items by chance, but I've mostly been passing, partially because I haven't been interested in anything, and partially because I'm not sure on what the difference between the other two options actually is.

    "Need" is always prioritized first before "Greed". Here's a situation, you are a gladiator and a sword loot drops for the party, you rolled a Need and everyone else rolled Greed. You will always get the sword regardless of whether or not the others Greeded with a higher score than your Need. Other situation includes if nobody rolled a Need at all, then the loot will go to whoever Greeded with the highest score. If everyone Passed the loot, it will be lost. If everyone but one player left the dungeon while a loot is not rolled by anyone, it will automatically goes to the last person to leave regardless whether or not they rolled. If two or more people rolled Need together, then whoever rolled Need with highest score gets the loot and as usual, those Greeded will not be considered.

    If this is the answer you are looking for, hope it helps. :3

    Basically, only those selecting the highest tier get to roll for the item.
    • If anyone selects Need, then Greed is ignored completely and it's down to just a roll between those who selected Need. (So, for instance, if it's a piece of tank gear that drops in a four-man dungeon with only one tank, that tank is guaranteed to get the item if he wants it, because nobody else can select Need on tank items.)
    • It's only when nobody selects Need that those who selected Greed get to roll for the item. Then it's a random dice roll between everyone who selected Greed.
    • If nobody selected either Need or Greed but some players didn't select anything, then it's a roll between those players who didn't make a selection but are still in the dungeon when the loot timer runs out.
    • If everybody chooses Pass (or leaves before the timer runs out), then the item drops on the floor and nobody gets it.

    Thank you both! This info is actually really helpful, just did a few dungeon runs and was actually able to get some stuff I wanted now that I know how all this works!
