Do we as Rangers gain any increased chance of looting? or at least getting better stuff with forage? (not actually foraging on the mob but just the general loot drop)does any character fo that matter?
Maybe its just my knack of hitting the good spawns

I don't think I worded the question correctley - yes i know we have forage and yes i too sometimes get more than 1 item, however my question was refering to Loot from mobs.
I have only just recentley begun looting mobs such as Valarians (to get Jabba Faction so i could get down from -2500 to +200 and do Jabba theme park) and Meatlumps (cos i was just bored) - i was for both Non-AFK :-), anyway I have looted some pretty good stuff from these low level mobs. I just wondered if being Master Ranger and having such an ability as forage at Master, passively increased the chance of getting better loot or as i said above - I'm just lucky......

No, Rangers dont get a bonus to looting. My brother freshly starting the game was medic/tk novice looted several adhesives and loot kit parts while I was getting squat. Loot drops are varied and random. I like doing treasure maps but everyone else hates em. I found a +4 2 handed melee speed AA on a treasure map that sold for 5.3 million. Its completely random. Tho, loot does cater towards areas. Like Tuskens drop alot of robes, gloves and what not. Not to mention crystals and the odd item. Also, like the Aaukuans(sp?) drop robes, rings, and belts with disease or poison resists on them.
Loot is random for everyone.

Yep just random loot. They start off as encoded discs, then when you read them they become treasure maps and give you a waypoint. There's usually some thugs, meatlump type material, hanging around the final spot and you just kill them and dig it up.

Rangers get better foraging ability. I get three and four items per forage sometimes. One time I got 6. Maybe bugged though as I never ever got 5 before.

Our forage bonus was for something that never got implemented into the game. Each region of the maps in the planets have their own forage loot tables. when ever you do a forage you randomly get something from that table. The greater your forage skill the higher you can get on the table and get better loot. Since the loot was suppose to be regional, meaning you could only get some kind of loot at a specific region, they were going to make uber loot for us to find in special places. but that uber loot was never made and the tables just got filled with randome stuff, including a birthday cake that uses 60 inventory spaces and when you hit that you just get the message that your did not had enough space in your inventory and there fore you get nothing.
