Hey guys,

Does anyone know if you get loot off of kills made by your allies even if you aren't close to them? For example if I'm in town whie my ally clears half of a map will I still get loot/xp? What if we're both in the map but on opposite sides of the map? I know you have to be close to a shrine in order to get the buff when an ally clicks it so I wasn't sure about loot/xp.

Anyone who has a concrete answer or can link a dev post or something else I'd really appreciate it.

What I wanted was to not have to worry about getting split up or even possibly split the map with my buddy for speed then just look for legs using the map. I'm not sure if that's even possible though so any help please!!

I have an answer for you. :) In order to get xp or loot from a slain monster you need to be in proximity of it when it dies or have been in combat with it. For example, if you go back to town to repair your armor after fighting a nasty elite and your friend kills it while you’re not around, you'll get loot and xp, because you had already tagged the monster. However, if your friend then finds a new elite and kills it before you come back, then you will not get loot or xp.
