Ninja Chance of Loot: 33.33%
In a 5 man pug an item drops that is an upgrade to you. Another member can use it and his friend ninja rolls need. Three people roll need. You either get the item or the other member does or the ninja does and can only vendor it. Outside of getting the vendor reward this does not provide an advantage to the ninja’s friend or really incentive ninjaing.
