The first day, I was killing NPCs on Rori and looted:

6 Ligament Extension Formula (2 handed melee accuracy)
12 Tensile Muscle Supplement (2 handed melee speed)
5 Metacarpal Facilitation Booster (Rifle speed)
Bunch of locked containers.

I thought, "hey, this is cool! I have a swordsman friend that could use these 2 handed things, and I'm going to enjoy using the rifle speed modifiers."

After server reset, I continued and got:

3x Balanced Feed Mechanism (Projectile Feed Mechanism modifier attack speed -.2)
2x Metal Staff (junk)
2x Glass top table parts
Orange rug thread
Robe (no mods)
Dagger (junk)
2x Large Energy Capacitor (Blaster Power Hander modifier attack speed -.2)
Sword (junk)

I thought, "Hey, this is...crap". Same ol' song and dance.

Maybe they just adjusted it for certain mobs. Those unsavory NPCs outside of the NE starport on Rori (Narmele?) certainly changed their dropping habits after reset.

I actually had a good time playing yesterday. When the server reset, I looked forward to it coming back up so I could get things that could actually be useful for my friends and me. Sure, in time, the recyclers, paintings, and datapads will probably become garbage loot, but those stim drills are a nice little touch that most classes can use (not sure if there are any for crafters).

I apologize for jumping to conclusions after just testing one MOB.

did the NPC type in that spot you were camping change with the restart? Different mobs have different parts of the loot tables... Mummbers were light on new stuff, but Skaaks were not... things are even different between sleemo punks and sleemo hoodlems

Move around a bit

and more importantly - get out of the cities

I only managed to snag 4 pistol speed ones, 1 pistol accuracy and 1 2 handed accuracy. Now I was thinking when I got them that it was cool being I got them on my all pistols character. Then I remember I'm capped for speed and accuracy. Anyone know if they make you go above the cap?

As speed is a percentage modifier, once you hit 100%, you can't go any higher. For example, if you are using a 3.5 speed pistol and a special with a 5X delay modifier, you would fire one shot every 16.5 seconds (3.5x5). At Pistol Speed 50, you would cut that time in half. Once you cap at 100, you reduce that time by 100%, effectively making it one shot every zero seconds, however, the attack rate of all weapons (AFAIK) is 1 attack per second, so there is no way to go beyond that. Most of what I learned is from the Rifleman forums, so there may not be the same for melee, or even other ranged weapons.

For accuracy, I don't know that there is a cap. Signs point to "no". From what I've heard (grain of salt), there is no cap on total accuracy, but I have nothing concrete to back that up with.

Hard to say. The ones I were killing at the time were unlabeled, so to speak. They just had names and no associations. Instead of "Andy Rooney (A Mummer Freak)" it was just "Phil Simms" or "Chuck Biscuits".

Looks like someone one-starred me on the first post, then someone else five starred all of my posts.

You know what that means?

Five stars for everybody! Feel the love! C'mon on people now, smile on your brother, and if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with.

there are a few mobs that drop crap and some that drop the enhancments you need to hunt around the city boarder and find the one with the humams, rodien & births not the DOSH or twilik'e cos they drop crap.

Lucky for me, the past couple of days I have been looting like crazy and storing the items in back packs on my vendors.

Just a head's up...


This is not a good idea. If you haven't yet, I might suggest utilizing a bank's Safety Deposit for such things.
