I heard long ago that Rangers have a better chance of getting good loot from NPC. Since I have newly aquired the Ranger profession I have noticed a difference. Slight, but still...Just throwing this out to see if anyone knows if there is some hidden mod or if anyone experienced the same thing.

In complete disagreement to a certain crazy old hermit from Tatooine, I believe what you have been experiencing is called LUCK

The loot revamp/update noted that the chance of looting creatures is now linked to your skill in creature harvesting.
I don't know much more than that. I'm sure it's not a direct correlation because then people without scout skills would not be able to loot creatures at all. I have been having better luck looting creatures since this update though. That's all I know... on this topic

However, the loot revamp is not totally in play yet.
But if harvesting ability adds in, and Luck from FS adds in, hot dog. I know one Ranger who will be a happy boy.

I have always had very good luck at looting...before I was a Ranger, while I leveled and eventually mastered Ranger, and since I dropped Ranger completely. What you are experiencing is called the Power of Suggestion. If I said that I saw my traps were having a greater effect on creatures, many people would respond with "you know, I have noticed that too..." SInce you were told that Rangers have a better chance to loot, you only notice that you are looting more stuff (it could simply be that you are looting more stuff becuase you have killed more things, or different things, etc.).
Or, the short version...Rangers do not have a better chance to loot things.

Well this was last year when i heard about it (late 2003). And I was checking to see if there was a hidden mod equivalent to "Luck" or something that gives the Ranger a better chance of looting something good. From my understanding the "Luck" FS mod is broken anyways, but just using this post as a feedback from other Rangers to see if they noticed a difference or not.

Seriously beginning to believe that there is a hidden 'luck' variable.
I have one toon, if he fell over in mud he'd come up with a fish. Loots all sorts of nice gear.
Another, well, when he gets messages like "you've found a bit of naval fluff and some grey-blue lint, might as well just leave it behind..." Though, being a ranger, he can forage like a manic vegetable picker. Onions, melons? Four at a time.
