Thread: Did they nerf BH loot?

I've been doing lvl 80 NPC missions.


For a while they paid off, but it seems like the last bunch have dropped crap. I can't eat many more Jars of Foraged Crap.


Did they nerf it or am I just having bad luck? I don't know either way, just asking before I waste more time.


Anyone? Thanks.

Oh! And what is a boss mark? Does that just mean lvl 80 mission (lvl 82ish mob)?


Thanks again!

Same quality types of loot, but the drop rate has been significantly rleduced. Perhaps takes me on average10 to15missions to get a SEA drop. Prior to, it was far more frequent.


No complaints tho, i expected the drop rate to be tweaked a tad.

Yeah, I'm happier with reduced drop rates. To me, that means that alot of BHs will get bored or discouraged and go back to PC hunting .... and I can concentrate on NPCs for loot to transfer to my vendor


With less hunters hunting, that will mean less good loot floating around and basically more money for me

Yep, I've had only three boss marks and all three of them dropped a single jar of bugs. I had one the other day regular elite dropped a nice general range accuracy 11 bio suppression eff 11. I sold it though and then went MCM.....sheesh.

As novice level hunter, I did 20 missions after the patch and got 17 simple toolkits which never dropped before, and 3 jars of berries. They definitely changed the novice loots. I used to get the higher slicing parts and actual loot pretty often.

And it's random if your lvl 80 is 30k+ health or not?


Are they supposed to have better loot?

  • Master Bounty Hunter's will draw the Boss MArks and the quality of the loot is suppose to be scalable based on the difficulty of the Mark.

  • In theory, the Boss Marks should be the ones dropping the SEA's while the Elite Marks (18 - 22k HAM) should be dropping the High End Smuggler Loot

Are they supposed to have better loot?

Boss marks also have the gold chevrons <> on either side of the HAM bar above their head.

I looted some enhanced power cells off a boss mark today. On auction at 7mil at the moment The drop rate has gone down, and i only get loot worth 1mil+ off boss marks with more than 30k ham. As a MBH i always get boss marks now, and i always get lv 82 ones with mission payouts over 31k. I like the tweak to the drop rate, as said above, more money for us and it's also more exciting to ctrl+i after looting to see what i've 'won'...

I'm sorta dense, Boss Marks still aren't clear to me.


Is there any way to know if your lvl 80 MBH mission is a Boss Mark before you get to it?
