I have been dong MBH for a while now on and off, since they improved the MBH loot a few patches ago. However i have only gotten 2 clear crystals and 2 BH schemes from what is about 50 BH misisons. I have not gotten ANY good loot, and especially not any CAs that i'm dieing for!


Is there a trick to gettign missions with good loot? Anyone have some advice.


What kind of missions do you take to get your good loot from? Do you take low misisons, or only the 31k Boss missions?




I really need some good loot because this is more thatn discouraging, not getting any good loot. I must have the worst luck in the game because i can't find anything!

Wow you really do have bad luck hehe. There are no tricks, mantras, tribal dances, ritual sacrifices etc. Loot is random, just stick with lvl 80 missions, 30kor 31k doesn't matter (I've pulled boss marks/lvl 82's from 30k as well as from 31k),and you'll get there eventually ...

Ritual sacrifice of Jedi to the BH Gods might not help the loot situation, but its a nice diversion when your lucks down on the loot front.


One trick I havent tried yet to get good loot is lacing my shoes the opposite way up so you tighten them at the bottom, cant rule out that as a factor .

i have always had bad luck in loot. for instance, i never even SAW a krayt pearl pre-cu (and i went on plenty of hunts) till a few weeks ago, when i went on a serious hunt for a jedi friend.


i never looted a holo, ever.
i never looted a nice sea, until again a week ago , when i got a +9 gen seed/+15 wep sys exp, and yesterday a +11 gen accuracy. and these are not even REALY good, just the best _I_ have ever gotten. i have looted maybe about 15aa's and 10 sea's in my entire SWG time. (almost 2 years)
i have never looted cells.
lotsa other stuff i never looted.


otoh, i did loot a black sun ace helm on my fourth duty mission. (still have it =p )and made enough cash from my craftign alt, to just buy stuff.


so dont be discuraged, stuff will come eventualy, find ways to make cash and buy what ya need. its purely a matter of chance. the loot hores will have a higher chance at getting stuff, but pup24 will take care of the cave campers, thank the Force.

i never saw a krayt pearl pre cu either...but i have found that about 1/10 BH marks has decent loot on em now like a crystal or a AA/CA. U have just had some really crummy drops i think

Hmmm well i heard a while ago of ppl getting decent loot from lower lvl npc's, so I've been hitting some 29K lvl 74-76 and for awhile was getting some decent loot(couple scheme's, rifle tapes). Don't know if they did something, recently just been smuggler stuff.

It is completely random. I only do 3 or 4 missions in a session because I get bored with it. All of my level 80 missions produce an eliteor boss CL81-82 mark with varing degrees of difficulty. I recently looted a jar of foraged bugs from a CL81 boss and that now sits proudly on my mantle (oh wait, I deleted that). Over the weekend I was lucky enough to get a SEA with +14 Force Accuracy and +10 Double Blade Lightsaber Accuracy so the good stuff is out there. I would like to see more enhanced cells/casings for my WS.


The odd thing isthat I seem to get the best loot on my first or second mission.

Last night I got a +5 lightsaber experimentation CA off of a 25k credit, 8k ham mark. So you don't need a boss one for good stuff.

I use to eat the bugs. Now it won't let me...I have no clue why. So...they just go up next to my bantha/whatever creature hunting trophy on the wall. I have alot of bugs on my wall.

Before they changed the loot system I got about 6-7schems and 1 CA in 70missions or so and after Ive gotten 1CA/3AAs and 10-12 schems in 30missions or so and Ive always been taking the same sort of missions (+30k). I think its all about luck
