When my toon was CL52, I looted a CA with +10 Force Accuracy. Not bad for a lower level mark like that. I can't recall if it was an elite mark or not. I'm only at Invest I too. Some of these marks are giving me a run for my money though... making me work for the loot. Of course some are pushovers.

The best loot I have earned was off a silver chevron mark and it was a CA +8 Droid Experimentation +15 structure assembly that my guildie who is an Architect/MDE just loved. He agreed to keep me permanently stocked with any droids I want.

Heck, I haven't even gotten a "boss" mark yet, but I've made some serious cash off loot from the 19k HAM one's..I personally couldn't be happier with the new npc missions..

1:2:4 for the ratio?? For me its been about 10 regular marks, 10 silver chevron marks, and then 1 boss mark, if even that. Ive done about 80 missions and have only gotten 3 boss marks and havent looted power cells yet.

My single best piece of loot was a +19 chassis experimentation CA from a gold.


My average best has come from regular ole non-boss marks.

When I tried them out on friday I was rather suprised, I got 3 CAs, two of which had good stats, an AA which I forget, a weapon enhancement component my WS says is better than gorax shards if I can actually find them (I did, yaay) and a silver colored crystal a friend of mine said was of "Good" rating, though he tuned it crappily.

Most of that came from silver cons, I think I got delicate trigger assemblies off of the 2-3 gold chevrons I attacked.

Holy sh*t, these still drop? That's hilarious.


But back to the original subject, it's entirely random

/agree


Ialways hope not to meet a bossmark. Not because they are harder- they arent that much harder but they always (at least for me) drop only crap compared to the non bossmarks...


I am doing the BH missions now since the new loot is implemented and killed alot of Boss and non Bosses (around 50 or more) and for me the Bosses have much worse loot than the Non Bosses. -->only 1 slice item or the well known Jar of Bugs... / Non Bosses : BH shemes - AA's - Weapon Components and sometimes all together


But we all know that with new implements also new bugs are coming and i hope together with the next publish when there are more bossmarks they also drop better loot compared to the non boss marks.

This is what I've seen over the last couple of weeks 4-5 hours a day running these missions.


All the marks seem to have a 1 in 5 or 6 chance of dropping something besides smuggler stuff or other crap. Be they regular, elite, or Boss marks.



However, Elite Marks and Boss Marks drop items with higher stats on them.


Regular marks seem to drop CA's with max stats between 6-8 on CA's AA's, etc.


Elite Marks seem to drop items with max stats of 11-13 on CA's AA's, etc.


Boss Marks, 15-20 on CA's and AA's, etc.


Elite and Boss marks also seem to have a higher chance of dropping 3-5 items than regular marks. Regular marks only rarely drop 3 items, sometimes two, usually 1.


So while the loot is randomized, the better stat stuff comes off the elite and boss marks.


Now here's the really odd thing. CL82 Boss marks and CL78-CL79 boss marks drop the same stuff stat-wise. And they also seem to be the same toughness, their level doesn't seem to make almost any difference at all. I've had CL78 boss marks with 35k hams that were as much or more trouble than the CL82 boss marks, and vice-versa.


However on Elite marks they do seem to be easier to take down at CL78-79, then CL81-82. But statwise the loot seems identical.



The Rarest loot on Chilastra coming from these mobs seems to be the Power Cells... 1 Hand Lightsaber tapes seem to be the second rarest.


The most coveted seem to be Anything Jedi related, Weaponsmith Experimentation tapes, and Lightsaber Experimentation Tapes.






So, those are my findings anyway.
