4 AA's and 2 CA's in 2 hours this afternoon.


The loots are 'feast and famine', so you can reasonably go several runs with nothing and then loot 5 straight..... Takes much patience.

Got an AA with +16 total mods (they were all junk but thats not the point) today.


lvl82 auk champs.


Does seem the drop rate is lower then it already was. What else is there that drops SEA's as a solo lewt hoe though.



I don't need a sig. You know who the %$#* this is

Well today I did get one AA out of Defiance on Talus-Kettemore server. For two days until today, I had the same problem as another person who posted-camps would de-spawn either upon arrival or shortly afterward. I was able to work around this a bit, by simply aggroing all NPC's as fast as I could before the de-spawn. However, today, the camps did not de-spawn, they stayed, I got 1 AA, but have not been able to do the "leave the camp and come back for more" trick, I come back and no new NPC's spawn, so I suspect that this may have been fixed.






The 'leave and come back' trick still works fine - the trick is to make sure the lairs are at least 300m apart (I shoot for 500, and if it is less, I bike out to 500 before revisiting a lair). If you are milking a single mission point, bike out 500m after killing the spawns, wait a minute or so, and then head back. This has worked for me every time - and I am still able to loot CA's and AA's at a rate of about 2 per hour, so the drops have not been nerfed.


For the record, I am working on CL 80 and higher missions, Champion ones only. Sentinels and Defenders are dropping CA's (low rate - 1 per 30 or so) and Champions are dropping AA's - 1 every 20 is about average.


Actually got a 'dream mission' last night - a single camp with 3 sentinels as the spawns. Milked it for about 10 runs and banked 3 CA's, 1 with force regen mods. Guessing that won't happen again.....

Reporting from Tempest,

These missions are decent for pay and xp -per the effort.


However ...

These missions are not farmable.

500 meters away ... wait a minute ... and then go back?

Probly on some other shards, but not on Tempest.


No distance, and no timers seem to matter; from what I can see.


This wouldn't urrk me so much, except that I can't find many of the 80+ Aa'kuan missions on the terms.

/ahh well.


Still a good change of pace for me; thanks.

I'm starting to believe the theory that the drop chance fluctuates during the day. And perhaps a random spike occurs some time each day. I hope this is so, because it seems like a good system. If thisIS the case, a good idea might be to just do the missions mainly for the money...then if a SEA drops, switch over to a respawn 'farming' mode for a while. I know some will say that it's always better toto farm the spawns, but that just wears me down when nothing is dropping. I like to at least get some cash for my time....and maybe in a week or so I can buy thetape I was hoping to loot.

yes loot seems to fluctuate in general. i noticed this when killing DJK the other day. it either fluctuates or the drop rates get lower/higher over a certain period of time, maybe every day, who knows. it just seems like the loot from all NPCs is not very random.
