OK, so I've hit the cave probably four or five times in the last week, just after the server reset. Got myself four AA, and two CA. However.... every single attachment is useless. I have three AA's that are simply 'Skill Enhancing Attachment' and two CA's that are "stat_n:".
Has anyone else noticed the sheer number of broken mods coming out of that place? Dunno if it might be Ahazi-specific or not. I have friends that insist the broken mod rate recently has been as high as 90%.
The last AA I obtained might be useful.. its Medicine Experimentation 2, One handed damage -3... Does anyone know what will stick, I know its the highest mod but does that take into account negative and broken mods?

I think it doesn't do absolute value or integer mod, so the med exp should stick. Get a 2nd consult though. By the way my friend looted some working CAs and AAs from the champ's cave, but nothing over 2 or 3. Maybe it's just bad luck. I doubt it's server specific.

Last few nights I run through the cave at least once and have gotten attachments of about +3 or less. Did get one of those jacked up ones a couple weeks ago, but not recently. The latest good attachments I have gotten from them were late last night, so I think you are just having some bad luck partner.

are you sure you got an AA with Medicine Experimentation 2? if it is that's weird, only though med exp come's in CA's
anyways, the negative mod will never stick, it will "disappear" once you put it in a socket. the med exp 2 will stick, is not broken, and will probably fetch you some decent bank

I'd say anywhere from 1 mil to 4 mil, depending on his server.

At the cave now and dropping crap. All CA and AA are blank. But, I am willing to sell all the uber satchels that NS Protectors are dropping.

Just got back from work.... nice one, thanks for the info - all highly appreciated. Sort of good to know it is just my bad luck but it does seem as if the cave spawns more than its fair share of broken mods at least recently. Going to post an auction for my Med Exp and see where I get.
Btw Pircio I checked the Medicine Experimentation and it is indeed a CA... thats some good knowledge..!

I find this to be factually incorrect as I frequently loot working mods from creatures. The containers, however, in the back are bugged and dropping no mod aa's. I hear that is common among POI's now.

In my experience, there was a period of time where the Aakuan Champions Cave(along with other static spawns) didnt drop anything useful.
Up until the fix where Krayts and NS drop should be p and running at normal rate. Then the cave in question started dropping working SEAs again.
Looted droid experimentation +5 today. not worth cheering your heart out for but anyway...

That cracks me up...
On topic, I live not far from the cave and go there a couple times a week and I've noticed a couple of things. The mag seal in the back always drop those useless generic AAs and CAs. I've noticed this for a couple months.
The real bummer is a complete lack of any Aakuan specific loot such as rings, shirts, belts and robes. Anyone else notice this? And it's the same if I run Aakuan Champion missions from a misson terminal.
It seems like they nerfed the drops to me.

Actually I've been pulling up Aakuan loot like crazy now. In 1 buff session there not only did I get 4 aa'sand 2 ca's I got 4 Aakuan rings, 2 Aakuan robes, 1 Aakuan belt and 3 Aakuan shirts. What was real nice was a +6 polearm accuracy aa and the +4 rifle speed ca. Sold all of it and made just around 6.6 mil. Not bad for 3 hours popping people in the head with a hammer.

hehe i take most of what i said back... went to cave today before work (heading out in 5mins from post) and looted two pistol accuracy +5 AA's. Still, the Magseal containers are indeed dropping bugged mods but I'll cope with that when there's enough pickings off NPC's....
doesnt seem to be any problem with Aakuan specific loot, lurdanta - I've got a backpack full of shirts, belts and rings from the past week
