Thread: Loot/Boss Marks are random, not nerfed!

Like many, I have gotten tired of all the complaints about loot being broken and never getting anything good from boss marks, and all the rest of the junk that you see on those posts. Over the last week, week and a half, I have been most fortunate with loots. Some bad, some good, but overall I am happy. I got 2 sets of power cells, 6 mediocre and 4 that were really nice. A stack of 5 very nice reinforced casings, weapon scopes, bh schems(even boots), even a crystal or two. Last night I got a CA and a Crystal. But still, all over the forums, people complained of not being able to get anything. Well today I ran 22 missions, and kept a record of what type of mark dropped what. So settle in, cause here it is.


1. Elite, CL 81-Mando Intraframe

2. Elite, CL 81-Mando Intraframe

3. Elite, CL 81-Mando Intraframe, CA-Creature Harvest 5, Polearm Acc. 3, Polearm Speed 15

4. Elite, CL 81-Mando Intraframe, HD. Leather(8)

5. Double Elite(Double gold chevrons but only 19k health), CL 82-Reactive Micro Plating, AA-Def. vs. Blind 12, Pistol Def 12

6. Boss, CL 81-Reactive Micro Plating, CA-Med Warfare Efficiency 14, Def. vs. Intim. 12

7. Boss, CL 82-Illegal Core Booster, Enhanced Power Cells(4) 176 Dmg, -.77 spd, -8 sac

8. Double Elite, CL 81-Reactive Micro Plating

9.Elite, CL 82-Delicate Trigger Assembly

10. Elite, CL 81-Delicate Trigger Assembly

11. Elite, CL 81-Jar of Foraged Bugs

12. Elite, CL 81-Mando Intraframe, Warm Hat

13. Elite, CL 81-Reactive Micro Plating, BH Gloves Schem

14. Elite, CL 81-Reactive Micro Plating, Cargo Pocket, Color Crystal, BH R. Bicep Schem

15. Elite, CL 82-Mando Intraframe

16. Elite, CL 81-Reactive Micro Plating

17. Elite, CL 82-Jar of Foraged Bugs, CA-Heavy Weapon Def 10, Pistole Def 4, Disease Resist 5

18. Boss, CL 82-Delicate Trigger Assembly, BH Helmet Schem

19. Boss, CL 82-Reactive Micro Plating, Color Crystal, Reinforce Casing(4) 176 dmg, -.78 spd, -8 sac

20. Elite, CL 81-Illegal Core Booster, Locked Container

21. Double Elite, CL 82-Illegal Core Booster, High Capacity Scatter, CA-Carbine Accuracy 11, One Handed Weapon Accuracy 10

22. Elite, CL 82-Mando Intraframe, Advanced Assault Cores


Now the point of all this is not to brag, but to illustrate that if you keep taking missions, eventually you'll get something good. Yes it is frustrating getting only a single slicing component or foraged bugs, but if you don't get too discouraged and keep at it, you can find plenty. I mean, 4 CAs and an AA in a day, 2 Crystals, a stack of each type of weapon powerup, and enough smuggling components to make at least another 100-200k in credits. I have gone long stretches and not looted anything good, and then I have periods like this where I do well. Overall, I think I have gotten more good loots since pub 23 than before, and it's really not harder. Good luck to all of you, may those of you who are down see your fortunes improve. Just remember, the time it takes to come to the forums and complain or come up with a dumb conspiracy about jedis whining until we're nerfed could be spent chasing down that mark that brings in the big score.

i've notice this also since after pub 23. and what you post is about right in what i am getting. yesterday i did i think about 6 mission getting 2 ca's advance reconcorestack of 8 energy resis 5095 i think close to that i am sure, clear crystal and bh schems. oh and some smuggler loot.


tonight i did about the same maybe little more and all i got was 2 bh schems and smuggler loot.


some days you get good and somedays you get ok. but it isn't the loot that really drives me to do npc missions,about 5% ofme likes the challenge of the fight. kinda sucks though when the tards use kinetic dmg pistols and stick with it and you don't have composit cuase your to lazy to empty inventory and go pick up your 6k kinetic resistcompositarmor.no i just run around in circles shooting with my rifle and rooting alot.



but its fun though until you get a double gold boss that uses kinetic then its, help! lol

I use battle armor, since I am a carbineer/bh, and if they use an energy based weapon I throw on the psg. Not as good for protection, but I don't have to carry as much and still manage around 5400 resists.

After doing about 45 missions from the second hotfix to the 3rd hotfix on the 8th I found no AA/CAs, some slice comps and of the 3 gold chevron bosses I found 3 jars of foraged bugs.

Today after this recent hotfix I ran some missions and happened upon a gold chevron finding 1 mando frame and a bh schem. My other marks dropped similiar loot of schems, a couple white crystals but still no CAs.

My thinking was that there was a silent fix in this last hotfix to the MBH loot. That many people seeing a difference in loot probably weren't wrong.

That vast a difference between the level of loot, to my way of thinking, reinforces the notion of randomness. How can some people loot nothing for days on end, and I, and some others if you read other posts on this matter, loot like kings. On this very thread someone said in 6 missions they got 2 CAs, some armor cores, and a crystal.


I have gone days without looting a CA/AA, or anything better than a BH schem. And yes, it is frustrating, but other times, as illustrated, I do very well, particularly since pub. 23. I am not saying that marks don't drop junk loot sometimes, they do, I got some even today. What I am saying is that it is a random, luck of the draw thing. Torepeat myself, that such a wide range of loots is here for all to see in the form of these posts shows that it is not that loot has been turned off or nerfed/fixed, it's that it is purely random.

I ran about 30 missions yesterday. Similar type results as the original poster.

1 set of 4 good power cells.

About 5 CA / AA's. (one being a good jedi ca)

4-5 bh armor schematics.

1 set of adv recon armor cores.

The rest smuggler loots or foraged bugs.

I'm new to BH missions but finding the loot pritty good as there isn't much loot going about
now since the new publish (on other missions or quests) but do you all take the highest priced
NCP mission or just any lvl 80 mission or lower lvl ???
