Drop

A drop is anything that falls from a creature that dies in PvE. Dropped items are assigned to a single ally, almost always a member of the party; unless assigned to a player character, the item will never be seen. Gold drops are shared by the party, so heroes and henchmen always drain an equal amount from the total.

Foes almost always drop something and bosses can drop up to four things. In addition, special event and quest items drop independently of regular drops. Charmable animals also drop seasonal items during special events and a few can drop map pieces. Finally, items will also drop from opening a chest or touching treasure.
