Items And Loot Archive

the only thing i know of that drops sea's anymore are the master bh missons wich is bs who wants to grind bh just to get loot and well the djm but like u said thats bs in its self right now im postting everyday to the issue thread and i welcome anyone else who has a prob with the akuan misson issue to do the same if they nerfed it because players complained to much then lets flood them with players complaining till they fix it properly i like u found that the only way to get a good tape was running akuan missons it was the best way because frankly the ones in the caves where crap compared to what u could get running missons plz support this cause its the right thing to do socking it to the afk campers was the right thing to do but now the players who sat at thier comp and actually worked for thier sea's are getting it in the a#$ as well

i looted a melee def +11 CA from a BH target a week ago. i m only novice BH as i dabbled BH 0440 for my template. as novice BH i get CL75-84 (i m CL80) missions. the targets on CL80 missions are CL81 to 82 (<> single elites) and sometimes a CL84 non-elite. the bosses (<<>> double elites) are MBH only.

i usualy looted smuggler components + occasionally a SEA (upto +11) or BH armour schematics. i haven't tried since last pub, but until then Novice BH was enough to get decent SEA's. the big stuff of course is still MBH only.

i was totally down w/ nerfing the caves, but i'm alittle upset by nerfing the missions too. at least w/ a mission you have to work for you loot.

LOL, yep this game is hitting rock bottom now. The ONLY thing keeping me playing is pvp, and that wont be that fun for long I'm sure. I used to love to do aukaun missions recently, pre cu nightsisters and smc. I've done everything this poster is saying and he is completely right. If you play this game to loot stuff your totalyy screwed, there nothing to do get anymore, It's unfair for someone to spend 20 hours let alonea 100doing something like missions or nightsister and not get anything worth selling or keeping. So what r us that have complete templates supossed to do now? No frs so I cant lvl up, why even try to loot stuff now that nothing drops anything, Theres no caves worth spending time to do because the loot is worthless. I've been playing this game for a long time, and it's wierd to see a game so concentrated on adding new content thatthe whole oriinal game just

I used to do Aakuan missions for them but reports are trickling in that they got nerfed along with the cave fix (which was needed mind you)

As Sandsifter said in an other post...

As someone who spends 4 hours a day 7 days a week for 18 months (since i finished my template) loot hunting...above is a bunch of garbage.

Deathwatch - Only entrance is soloable and the drop rate is the worst of any mob in-game. I know peeps that have spent 6 months in there and have 3 jetpack parts to show for it. No skill tapes, no crystals, nothing else. So DWB is out for us true loot hunters.

Corvette - I assume you mean the corellian corvette that has mobs not adjusted since the CU ? The place no group bothers with these days and 95% of newbs dont even know about ? This place is off-limits except for those morons who dont mind dying 300 times while they get an av-21 schematic and if lucky 1 powerplant for it. Yeah really good place to get tapes.../sarcasm off

Singing Mountain clan / Nightsisters - Umm what game are you playing ? Since CU messed up loot tables, they drop junk. Elders no longer drop tapes or premium/flawless crystals. The drop rate used to be 1 tape every 10 hours for me, now its 0 tapes after 100 hundred hours. Everyone but you apparently knows this as well. Dont believe me, go take a look at the forced labor cave on dath. Its always empty now.

Lok - any mobs on Lok dropped junk before CU, after is the same. Go try and farm the canyon corsairs hideout for say a whole weekend. You'll end up with 2 "good" crystals (worthless) and 1 junky tape like +3 augment efficiency

Dantooine - force wielders, etc only drop good crystals if anything. Thats not worth anyone's time. The jinda types are pointless as who needs doc stuff these days ? Ive farmed the crystal cave on several occasions, zero tapes...only crummy crystals.

NPC Jedi - Besides maybe 1-2 templates, these arent something that can be hunted solo. And they dont spawn in reliable spots. Only those imps who farm the mission have access to them with the right template and some luck. I dont consider this a reliable loot place when mobs are level 200+ and can only be spawned by one faction.

Marauders - im the king of farming them, knowing where and when to go. They simply dont drop anymore because of the loot tables. I used to get 1-2 decent sellable tapes every buff session (3 hrs). Since the CU, Ive gotten a total of 4 tapes over hundreds of hours of killing.

Krayt / Gorax / Ackley - Pointless to waste time on them. BH marks drop a new loot called power cells which are way better than tissues or bones from these mobs. I recently tried selling 20+ gorax bones / krayt tissues...couldnt sell hardly any of it as the market is gone. Pearls, if you can get one go for 500k each. You might get 1-2 every week, hardly worth the time and effort for so little credits.

So in conclusion, the original poster is correct to complain. We looters are totally running out of things to do. This is our end-game and its been broken for months. Enough already, fix it or watch us quit.

Not neccisarily true either. The loot tables - which I believe Tiggs noted when speaking off premiumn pearl drops recently - is based of level. A "standard" level force wielder NPC will not drop any crystal above 'good'. But if you do manage to find a higher CL NPC, it will have a chance to drop better quality crystals. I know a guildie aquired several qualities of CL 111 NPC's.

With the exceptions of those two anecdotes, I agree. The loot tables for this game has never been particularly hawt, but it's really down at the moment. Just wish they'd realize they *can* add desirable drops without cutting into the crafter's swath of the game; Just add it as lootablesubcomponents and lootable schematics.

edit: Clarification added on point one.

what really sad is after you've been playing this long, loot is about the only thing to look forward to in the game. that and pvp, but i'm not even big on that. this patch convinced me to give up the fight and craft again. ie, setup long factory runs and log to play pacman or something. w/o nice, non bh loot, its that fun to me now.

Mhmmm D&L *drool* been interested in that since the first announcment!

I completely agree with this, this offered some end game content for me.

As a combat build that refuses to BH or Jedi and doesn't craft, this was a reasonable source of income and also allowed reasonable loots for myself and other guild members.

What do i do now? I sware everytime I change my template to get the best outa the small amount of contentin this sorry ass game, it gets nerfed!!

Just my luck

nvm, Dark & Light is out in a couple of months

how else am i suppose to make money now to purchase everything i want? =T GARBAGE!!!
