Thread: Is NS loot normal?
because usually i'm exceptionally lucky... and hunted ns all the time before the CU, got lots of loot, killed atleast 100 various high lvl NS's today and the best was a blue crystal...
its just the first time since the cu i hunted these, and since my search came up with nothing, thought i'd ask the question.
one thing i did notice atleast on my server was alittle weird, is that at the NS stronghold, the cave was entirely empty (except one standard cavern spider), the entire time i was there.
Also when i did actually get loot, admitly crap, was when i decided to go for spawns alot further away from the stronghold, instead of the one near/in the NS stronghold.... could it be because they are spawning at the POI their drops are different/bugged?

It might but I doubt it. I think the loot is only depending on CL/type of character. But who knows.
BTW, last time I was at the NS stronghold and returned to science op I run into a hill which was filled with NS. Probably 20-30 in one spot. Talk about overspawn.

unless this becomes a huge problem over a week or so it is just bad luck... why does everyone post here that the loot tables are off, after just a little bad luck...
I dunno, I killed about 400-500 elders (post-CU) and got 0 interesting loot.
Either the drop rate is broken or this is a very stupid nerf, why should one spend countless hours killing hundreds npcs (very strong ones, too!) and get no rewards?
I think that some mobs/npcs should be very hard and maybe hard to find, but drop very often.
Grievous is an example. You go there, work your way down and kill him and loot 3 items. Ok, he doesn't drop CA (not that I know of) etc, but it's still rewarding.
