Everytime you loot, a 1D10000 die is rolled. That means there are 10000 possibities everytime you loot. You odds do not go up eith each kill..they are the same 1 in 10000 each and every time.

Master BH, Master Carbs, Combat Medic 4000


It was a true grind yesterday. I probalby went through more food and droids than social security. Just to let you know...about 10 marks I tracked ended up being on Dantooine MO right inside. I got off my ship and ate food and started attacking. No travelling necessary. Was nice. Also some of my missions were pretty close to player cities so I was able to knock missions out pretty quickly. Who knows..maybe that was my downfall as to the crap loot I got.

So the player that killed 5 marks and got 5 CA's in a row was just REALLY lucky then right? Cmon bro.





Follow the dev tracker and you will see I am giving you exactly what one of the devs said on this very board a few days ago. You may not agree with what the devs say, but I am pretty sure that if one is willing to come here and say its a 1D10000 die that is rolled...it most likely is.

yeah i can see someone getting 5 in a row with 1/10,000 die roll because if i assume that loot tables are always changing. so if a ca was given out cause a 900 was rolled that 900 spot will hold some new loot for the next 900 being rolled i assume. thats the only way i can see 5 in a row . the table has to be changing and that person just happened to get lucky.

Dumbest thing I've ever done in this game....


Normally, after killing a mark, I double click it to loot all.


For some incomprehensible reason which I just can't explain - I opened the


corpse and examined the loot before looting it. And what, you ask, did I see...


a +13 force accuracy CA (with other mods of course). Wow! I thought gazing


at it for a second, before the corpse decayed and the best loot I have ever seen


in game vanished before my stupid little eyes. /sigh

ouch! There is always time for /dance after the loot is in the inventory...getting it off the body is priority number one.

That really hurts and it's happened to me before but it was ona HC scatter pistol with mediocre stats.


Rule #1: Loot first, admire later

Rule #2: When in doubt, refer back to Rule #1.


Sorry man.

I find that the level of the mark 76-82- matters not one bit to the quality of loot.
So when I'm doing NPC BH missions, I focus on the lower level ones as I can
go through them much quicker and increase my chances of finding nice stuff.


Last nite I found a General Melee Speed +9/Melee Def +6/2 handed Melee speed +7
on a lvl 76 mark. That's gonna make some polearmsman very happy.

sell the general melee speed on your trade forums - jedi use those - big $$$


..fyi









First they came for the Jedi and I did not speak out because I was not a Jedi.
Then they came for the Bounty Hunters and I did not speak out because I was not a Bounty Hunter.
Then they came for the crafters and I did not speak out because I was not a crafter.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me.

I know I'm beating a dead horse and I know some people have hot and cold streaks, but COME ON.


I did 45 missions yesterday. I played for about 9-10 hours or so along withfighting a few jedi and talking with friends as well but for the MOST part: NPC mark hunting. I killed quite a few marks that were in towns as I starported in. Was nice and quick and refreshing.


I fought about 40 elites and 5 boss marks or so...can't remember the exact count. I fought on every planet from little eyed joe to damned if I know and one of my boss mark fights was perfect as I led him into a couple of rancors on Dathomir that were giving him a new meaning to the two words: PURE PWNAGE.


Anyway while I had fun fighting all night, I did NOT have fun looting. 45 missions fighting elite and boss marks and looted not one SINGLE CA or AA. All I got was smuggler loot and some adv armor cores...oh and a warm hat! Woot!


I have to ask you...was this yet ANOTHER bad night or is something seriously wrong with elites/boss mark loot?????

If you are getting a particularly bad run, take a break and do the random force guys on Dantooine. Got myself a +8 LS Experimentation tape the other night, along with a +11 2 hand LS speed as well.


LS tapes are like winning the lottery these days on my server,
