3 buff sessions in Ft Tusken: No Crystals, no modded clothes, no loot kit items
60 Janta missions and countless random Janta spawns: 4 stone knives (base stats) 6 metal staff,1 glass top table section, 2 locked containers
Then yesterday a NS spawned on top of my head while I was killing some critters and dropped a crystal 
(don't know the quality, I don't have a Jedi).
(don't know the quality, I don't have a Jedi).Perhaps mine is just pure bad luck

Me and my guild had a krayt hunt last weekend that last about 10 hours.
14 premiums total shared among the guild (and others helping).. I got 2.
Krayt tissues out the yin-yang and so many scales and segments I have tofinishmy armorsmith soon.
Here's the only piece of advice I can offer...
Force Luck people looted them mainly... the rest stayed back.

I like to spend a few hours a day hunting NS, lately ive been lucky to get 1 crystal per 40 or so NS. 2 nights ago I spent 3 hours with no crystals, my buddy came out(FS LuckBranch) and looted 3 qualitys out of one spawn we shared. Luckily he felt bad for me and gave me one

Apparently people are having a hard time understanding the idea of randomness First, I guarantee some of your numbers are inflated. When people think back to the bad luck they had, all they see is the negative aspect of it, and as such, their calculations for how bad their luck was is generally slightly off scale and bent in the direction of exaggerating towards making it worse than it really was. Unless people complaining about bad loot have screenshots for each and every corpse they looted, then it's purely all guesses. Second, luck is luck. Sometimes you're supposed to go out there and not get any good loot for your whole buff session, othertimes you go out there and loot an exceptional weapon in your first few minutes. But don't expect that every time you go out there you're going to get some uber loot. It's just random.

Luck line has nothing to do with actual loot in the form of items. Luck will only increase your chance of looting more money from NPC's, and has been verified and confirmed by Devs, as well as throngs of players who tested it out.

I've been killing alot of krayts lately prolly 60+ and haven't seen one pearl. Just curious if anyone else is haveing the same problem to know wether its just badluck on my end or am i wasting my time to another silent nerf.
Past 3 days....my 3 man team has killed 15 Krayts. 4 Giant,8 regular Canyon, and 3 Juvie.
So far we've looted 2 prem pearls and a bunch of worthless segs (whats funny is no tissue....I've never looted Krayt Tissue and I've played this game from the begining). Not sure if that is a good drop rate for pearlsbut the spawn rate is just not fast enough from my team. We kill Krayt in 5 mins so we need the devs to increase the spawn rate please.......I vote to have Ancient Krayts spawn on command (j/k)

As a self proclaimed krayt hunter extroirdinaire (IE I have killed probably 5000+ krayt dragons), I can tell you that I have experienced strings of bad luck. One week I killed probably 300+ and got no pearls off Canyon or Giants. I dont count quality pearls as real pearls, as I have yet to see one tune decently. Anyways, it was quite frustrating and I understand. The one morning I couldnt sleep, logged in, killed 4 canyons and got 4 premium pearls. Then I was blessed with another week of garbage loots. Usually its pretty steady going, but I have experienced bad droughts from time to time as well.

Anyone else think its a mere coincedence that the biggest part of the game (Loot hunting) gets borked right before JTL launches. Its almost as if they want me to play JTL. Well guess what SWG Dev team, uhh uhh not gonna work. Once EQ2 comes out Nov 9th I'm gone along with thousands of others. You better hope there's room for you to transfer over to EQ2 once they eliminate your job.
ps. please note, yes SOE owns EQ2 also but separate dev team there thankfully
