god forbid there be a way for a majority of players in this game to get decent loot and not have to pay a buttload for it. that would be too much fun

if there is a mob that will drop loot like that, then someone out there will make it their mission to farm them. it doesnt matter if it involves multiple accounts, and macro bots. it doesnt matter if it involves 3rd party macros, someone will do it.

the dark jedi master quest was a chance for all players in the game to get good loot.(yes all players, even melee. I had several successfully help me)

as far as the 10 times a day is concerned, I killed over 60 of those things and looted 4 tapes. not a single one was of worth to me. I gave them to guildies who didnt have the means to purchase that quality of an SEA. I wish I had the luck of whoever it is youre talking about...

on a side note, if people were looting 10 a day, then they were dropping the bottom out of the market. of course now people will hold on to their gems and the prices will shoot up again. us little players who saw a glimpse of light are once again left holding it in the dark.

I wish I could find the original post quoting the devs, but I was under the impression that DJMs dropping high end tapes was the combination of two unintended glitches in the system


1. Mobs should not have been CL298. This was a bug, possibly due to the DJM and DJK NPCs not being balanced for the CU.


2. Loot level was tied directly to CL level. So CL80 mobs were dropping the more common high end loot of pre CU. Obviously, with CL tied to loot quality, they would have zero chance of dropping +25 tapes and the like, unlike pre CU when they at least had a small chance.


So these two factors combined meant that DJM NPCs were dropping +25 tapes when this should not have been the case.

If loot is tied directly to their CL then how come I have killed over a 100 lvl 80+ mobs and normally got satchels ? I never know these were hight end items

All mobs have a random roll for what loot they will drop, let's say "poor, fair, good, and premium" loot. The chance for each type hasn't changed as far as I can determine, but the quality of the "premium" loot has been upped according to the CL.

/agree


All this did was make the people who looted multiple SEA's very rich. Everyone was selling them (most were imps though lol), the prices started like 20 mill then started dropping to 10 mill and pretty soon I bet it would have been even below that. Now that there is no place to loot these items, the ones who have the loot are basically rich beyond belief.



For instance, I have a +25 rifle Defense, +25 Rifle Accuacy, +25 General ranged accuracy, and +25 General Ranged speed AA's. How much do youthink I could sell this pack at? I'm guessing 50 mill now that it's impossible to ever loot them again lol.



Oh and for the record the only people looting these SEA's are the ones who had patience. You had to kill tons before they would drop anything. Through good testing the drop rate is about 5-10% of the time (leaning towards 5%). That's why it wasn't as bad as everyone thought and it's also the reason why you had a post a day asking if the devs nerfed the DJK/DJM loot drops. You had to be a real loot w to take advantage of the mission.

It really doesn't matter anymore about the DJM's....the whole loot system is completely worthless for anything good now.



Krayts= 0 pearls, 0 tissues out of over 20 Killed


DWB= nothing


Geo Lab= nothing


Corellian Corvette= Too damn hard thanks to their 8 man group nerf and not enough time to enjoy the fikin thing.


Nyax= Low Level wuss


Gorax= I killed over 25 so far and got nothing


But hey, if you want a party poster, they are in abundance. So far my best looting session was last night on Kashyyyk getting low level pistols from the Sayormi NPC's.
