Knife of the Damned is an annoying one that can be used for this, but there are far better uses for the astral and nature gems that would otherwise go to its making, especially in any sort of quantity.
In case someone wonders, the reason for why Lifelong Protection and Soul Contract are non-findable is found in the item descriptions. It is a contract written in blood between the Infernal Powers and the recipient and once the recipient dies, the Infernal Powers claim his soul and the contract ends. At that point it's just a scrap of parchment, though it could just as well go up in flames upon termination (for dramatic effect).

You are definitely wrong Edi.
In Jotunland, I had a squad of scouts with black hearts. My prophet with unequaled obesity picked up a black heart and got like a 15 encumbrance value.
As for other items this works with: Bane Venom charm. |
I just tested this, with Eyes of Aiming, Lifelong Protection, Soul Contracts, and Slave Collars.
Losing armies never pick up items.
Winning armies will never ever pick up an Eye or Slave Collars from an enemy army.
Winning armies
will pick up Eyes of Aiming, Lifelong Protection, Soul Contracts, and Slave Collars in battles when dropped by friendly commanders who died in that battle.
So, I think Edi's post just refers to items dropped by enemy commanders. And Chris, this also does not conflict with what you saw, since your prophet picked up the items from friendly commanders.
I wonder what happens if a slave collar-wearing caveman is snagged with an Enslave Mind then killed? Who could pick up the collars?
