All of them that were before, it's just luck whether you get one or not when you kill an NPC that has them in the loot table.

I have to agree, it has been posted over and over, there is a general problem with loot drop on some planets. My friends and I do Aakuan missionsfor SEA and rings, the last 2 weeks have been very low comparatively to previous weeks, however, I see the same problem from drops off of factional NPC. So, we have moved on to the NPC that are still dropping SEA.......

I read somewhere that all high lvl npc drop SEA:s if your lucky. So I've killed 500+ aukans and I still can't confirm that

keepers and followers drop anything useful except aaukan rings. From here on I say followers and keepers are a waste of time.

Can anyone confirme this?

Since you guys seems to be Aakuan experts, could you tell me their CL? I'm thinking the ones at the POI cave.

Yep. Keepers, followers, stewards are all a waste of time - Champions drop AA's, Sentinels and Defenders drop CA's. The rest might drop a ring or shirt etc., credits, or some datapad pieces, but other than that, they are useless. Get a lair with a no sents, defenders or Champs, kill it off, collect the cash, and look for another one to milk for SEA's.


And this confirmation comes from having looted 30+ SEAs (6 to 1 AA to CA ratio, FYI) in the past 3 weeks, slaughtering 1000+ aa'kuans, so it is pretty solid info.


And the rate has not dropped off at all for me - 2 AAs and a CA in a little over an hour this morning, then nothing for the next two. It's still random, but the rate seems about the same as it always has been.

I agree 100%



Simple case of 'Me want loot NOW!!!!!' and not having the patience to actually earn it.... Oh, and not searching the loot forums for the 6 page plus thread on the subject of Aa'kuan SEA drops - which is about 5 total pages of people trying to remind folks that the drop rates are random and another page of people whining about the slow drop rate before they read the posts......


Amazing how few people actually know how to use the Search function on the forums, let alone the 'read' function in their brain. There should be a sticky at the top of this forum section that says 'TRY USING THE SEARCH FUNCTION FIRST BEFORE ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS OR MAKING A MORONIC POST BECAUSE THE ODDS ARE REALLLLLLLLLLY HIGH THAT SOMEONE HAS ALREADY ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION 30 TIMES'.... But I guess that would just be ignored too...

Champions actually have a higher drop rate than the others.... and they drop only AA's.... I dont see why you are saying to kill only the keepers and followers when the Defenders and Sentinels drop CA's. If the Keepers and Followers do as well, then why not just kill everything? I don't see why you are all complaining or saying do this, do that, just kill them all they all have about the same drop rate except for the champions which everyone says seem to drop AA's more often.


If you really wanna know something I believe that all npc's that are lvl 70+ have the same chance to drop attachments. You guys go out and farm your aakuan missions for a few hours and loot one or two attachments. In the same time period I'm out killing Nightsisters and DJK and looting attachments just as often as you. Or for example the other day I went out to kill Sith Shadows to loot those frequency datapads, I looted 2 SEA's from those guys also.


So if you think Aakuans are the best for looting SEA's I believe you are mistaken. I haven't seen any difference in Aakuans, Nightsisters, Marauders, etc. All these NPC's have about the exact same drop rate for these attachments. You can just kill whichever you prefer. I myself like to kill Nightsisters because they drop the occasional crystal as well. The Sith Shadows that are spawning now on Dathomir in big groups (pirates, outlaws, thugs, lvl 75-77) are very plentiful, respawn fast, come in large groups, and drop SEA's just as good and just as often as your precious Aakuans.


So stop crying and saying something got nerfed because you had bad luck and didn't loot anything. Things have changed in this game, especially the loot. It comes in streaks and you can kill 100 Marauders, 100 Aakuans, 100 Nightsisters, 100 Sith Shadows, and you might not loot ANY attachments. Or you could go out and take 1 Marauder mission and get lucky and loot 2 attachments from the same mission... it's just random. I have tried these Aakuan missions and I found it VERY boring and I didn't loot ANY attachments at all after killing maybe close to 100 Aakuans. So I decided to just go back and kill more Nightsisters and Dark Jedi Knights, I get plenty of attachments like this and it's way more fun than driving back and forth on a desolate planet like Talus killing boring NPC's like Aakuans. I just looted a Double-Bladed LS Accuracy +12 CA actually.


I dunno why I made such a big reply, just letting you all know it really doesn't matter what you're killing you have about the same chances of looting an SEA from any kind of high level NPC, you dont have to kill Aakuans. Just because they drop SEA's in a cave doesn't mean they are the SEA gods.




no true my friend champion dropped a +2 lightsaber experimentation tape for me last night.
