I've tracked many a wiley level 82 boss mark down 6 or 7km, myself, only to find a jar of foraged bugs on their corpse.
It's definately very frustrating when it happens, but it all seems to be pretty random, so. I just head back to Kaadara and try again. I can't complain about the loot overall, it's put a lot of credits in my pocket, anyway.

K, sorry, just venting. Im a MBH/MCM
Took down a 35.6k health NPC mark, loot him, he drops a locked container and a delicate trigger assy. K, so I have a bunch of trigger assemblies, no big deal, they sell okay. Never recieved a locked container tho, so I'm thinking, wow, a high level mark like this, must be something pretty groovy in a locked container.
Log in my alt, Novice smuggler, slice open the container, and HOLY SMOKE!! I got a really nice pair of BROKEN ELECTROBINOCULARS?!!?!?
**Mod Bot - Be Nice**?!?!? I thought that kinda lame nonsense wasnt supposed to happen.
Anyhow, I threw my /tantrum, even rofl'ed a few times, and now I'm just plain disappointed. Come on Devs, you're joking right? I got a finely crafted toolset in a locked container from a lvl25 stormtrooper, I should NOT get crap loot from such a high lvl mark. Well, there, I vented. Thanks for listening. Anybody else have a high level mark / crap loot story?
oh, dang...i think I feel another /tantrum coming on.......
As i understand it locked containers have a random loot system of their own. No matter who you loot one off, the same system applies which gives you a random item or set of items from a list of possibles, and since locked containers can be looted of lv1 or lv 81 ncp's they have to have mostly useless loot inside as you can harvest lv 1 npcs easily, so there has to be mostly useless items in them. There are a couple of rare ones, but if they increased their generation rate in locked containers some people may harvest lv 1 npc's to get that loot. I'm tierd so please excuse my poor attempt at an explanation. I just get maroj melons at the moment. And reactive micro platings. I get a good aa/ca/powercells every 7 hunts or so, which i think is a good ratio.

there are so many post about this exact thing you are talking about. All you had to do is read them and find out. All the loot drops are random, my advice is stick with the lower level marks, the ones with payouts of 29k. From my experience and many others in other forums posts, is that these drop more and better loot, not all the time, but most the time. Elite marks and boss marks dont mean anythign except maybe bigger HAM bar. Ive gotten so many Ca's and Aa's off of lower elite marks, than boss marks and thats why i stick to those. Slave collars are the best thign ive gotten off of boss marks, that and n00b melons

The vast majority of boss marks i've faced loot garbage, most of my good loot has come from silver chevron elite marks...
Just the way it is I guess, I've stopped trying to make sense of the way some things work in this game![]()

Sheesh. B glad that you can get nice loot by chance. Seeing that bhs can get ahold of some of the nicest items without having to face such a tough opponent
