What drops from vine tile in COT?

Yes, I know, this thread has no useful purpose besides to satisfy my curiosity. Stilll... anyone know what drops from vine tile in Course of Terror?

Context:

Lately I've been lazy when running COT. Instead of clearing vine tile the proper way, by getting vine branch, running back to entrance, setting it on fire, and then using fire-lit branch to burn vine, I have been DPSing the vine instead. It complains that it is too tough to DPS and regens health, but not fast enough. I can DPS the regenerating vine faster than I can get to entrance and back.

Well, today what happened is that DPSed vine tile did not go away. Instead if showed a "there is an item here" sparkle that happens when you shoot the key tile. Except that key tile sparkle can be picked up, and vine tile could not. Cursor turns into grabby hand, like it should when you hover over pickable object, but I can't pick it. And the dead tile is still there and I still can't pass through it. So now I have tile I can't go through and I can't clear, since the object that is keeping it "not 100% dead" is not pickable.

Eventually, object decays and tile decays a few seconds later. Still, I am curious - what was it that tile dropped that I could not pick up? Anyone has an idea?

Oh, and people who have more than 3 classes are clinically insane.

If I had to guess, it's probably Breathable Silk.

These vines and the gate tiles should not have any loot at all, but Breathable Silk from the festival has a bad habit of showing up in everything's loot table, even things that should not drop loot.

It is not only Silk. Flower festival had some drops too that would show up in CoT. During those festivals i make point of removing "Lucky Target" buff to somewhat decrease the chances of unwanted drops (I pop it again before opening chests). Those drops do not hurt too much unless you spend too much time talking while in CoT and time to get both bonuses is running short and the tile blocking the exit drops something.

Taking about CoT, i love the glitch that lets you enter the room a little bit too high (as the distance from the floor, not induced state of mind) so you can glide right above all tiles. When this glitch combines with accidental drops (even when gliding you aggro ghosts and their gate tiles may drop when killed) you get to pickup the drop.

Yes, the CoT drops were fixed a few patches back such that the void monsters would no longer drop normal loot and in so doing slow your progress while you looted. However, I assume festival loot was not included as most festival loot still drops, from the void monsters. i had never thought about DPS'ing the vines, so thanks Pink for the idea. Vines are the slowest for progress though CoT and I normally use the cannons on them if I cannot go around.

I mindlessly DPS everything in CoT in a straight line. For Wines and Ghost Gates which cannot be selected as targets with mouse click or tabbing you have to click the skill (or hit key associated with skill) which changes your cursor to "attack mode" and then you click on target and repeat. Make you sure are not targeting yourself before you start (no circle under your feet).
