Dropped Item Protocols

Dropped-item protocols act on item entities on the ground. The in-game scan label is Dropped Item Target. All 5 on this shelf are written from chips.

The chips are sold on TBUG’s Dropped Item shelf. Remote Recall only pulls the item to the player’s feet. Salvage returns about 60% of the materials. Reappraise and Data Brand only matter on gear that already has a prefix: the first rerolls on the spot, the second copies a prefix and stamps it onto the next target.
