I agree with this 100%.


A rare chance to get one coupled with a rare chance to get decent loot = not worth it and probably not with having MBH.


it's a catch 22 with these things. Forced to have MBH to even get them, but there is no real reason to want them.

I have the same problem. I have been a CL 80 MBH for a while and have never seen a boss mark over 20K in 50+ missions. I wish i could find that magic terminal.

Had 3 boss marks yesterday. 1 with a polearm CA, the other 2 gave me a bio engineer painting and a valley view painting


So far in my experiences, the silver chevron marks are dropping the betterloots.

I've been an MBH for quite some time. When chevroned marks were introduced I managed alot of the loot you all mentioned. Yet to get a crystal but /shrug.

Anyway, to date I have yet to have any problems getting BOSS marks to show up. I will admit post pub 23 they have been scarce, but they ARE still there.

As far as bugs for loot...I don't mind, I'm disappointed when I get them, but glad they are in the loot table anyway. Why? Get too much of a good thing and you will expect it. What fun is that?!

Rainbows are often accompanied by dark clouds. What better way to contrast and appreciate the better drops!

Want a better chance of a boss? Take the NPC missions that are over 31k. I'd guess better than 75% of the time, if I do this, I'll pull a boss (I'm CL80 MBH/MCH). I, too, have not seen better loot to merit the longer fight boss marks require. I pulled missions in the over 30k, under 31k range and pulled all Elites and got fine loot. I think that the Boss marks can drop good loot, we just see more Elites than Bosses, on average, so the results are a bit skewed.

thats just pure luck then, i have done some lower level missions 74-76 and they have been bosses more than the 31k missions have been. its all based on randomness. If 75% of your 31k missions have been bosses then its pure luck, cause about 1/100 of my 31k missions are bosses... its more likely for me to get a boss mark thats only cl 74-76 with 35k ham. thats just my luck i guess....

I'm glad to be honest. Cause I dropped the invest line because of simplicity on my part. And now I don't have to worry about driving 6k to fight a double gold chevron, with 33k ham. Only to end up with a jar of bugs. I rarely ever have gotten anything remotely decent off of a BOSS mark.



I'm 2444 BH now, and I get alot of elites and I'm just happy with that. I even got an AA last night. Nothing good on it, but that's just my loot luck.

Gold Chevrons will never be Single ... they will always be double on an NPC mark. My ratio for Boss Marks hasn't been that bad . I am not a power gamer by no means usually do NPC hunting for about 2 hours a night when I am on and usually always end up pulling a Boss Mark or two.



Best loot I got from a Boss Mark was a CA General Melee Speed +16 Unarmed Defense +12 ... sold it for 32 Mill in an auction. Good drops do happen you just have to be patient. I tend to get also get a couple of CA's each time I take a couple hours to go hunting.
