Hey dudes my alt is a MWS and I usually do all the looting for my geo's and acklays etc. But with this new revamp i went to the geo caves today and got mauled by about 5 geonosians using Stun,Dizzy,KD and apparently there using specials to target pools like my mind went bye bye in 10 seconds using 2 vas and 1 canape and muon.
Anyway so whats your thoughts on the pricing on looted component,schematic weapons etc. This should dramatically increase the price and dramatically decrease their availablility? I'm fairly new to WS so some older smiths with knowledge from the past when they still had there specials would be nice.
Thanks

increased prices for loot = less weapons with loot in them... because all of us aged WSs know... no one will pay 30k for some basic, non-"Ubar" scythe weapon... they all want uber uber uber good for 1k... i feel like when i sell to people like that, that im talking to children... i got enough at home already.... but yeah, i dont think prices will rise or fall from that... seeing that i was there 3 days ago and no problembs befell me...

Hrum..dunno what you're talking about, I went to the Geo Cave yesterday, I don't think they hit me once at ranged. You just need to get at the correct spot in the room (all 3 rooms have "perfect" spots) and just hit spin attack. The attack will hit the geos at every spawn location and they will never hit you with a ranged weapon.

Heh, check the most recent patch notes (Pub 9.25 they've called it)... NPCs are now using specials & multiple weapons, including the occasional lightsabre (nightsisters).
There are going to be fewer 'uber' DOT weapons dropped, that's for sure.
Creatures aren't affected by this, so creature loot won't be any rarer... may even be slightly more common as people avoid high-end NPCs.

Not to interfere with the discussion, but Nightsisters don't use LS

They did before they lost their specials. Saw an Elder cut my wookie buddy in half with one. Let's hope with this latest update, they have them back

While they don't use lightsabers, they do use lightsaber specials with whatever weapon they are using.
Nothing like getting hit with "Cascade of Hatred" from a scythe.
On to the discussion. The stuff dropped from mid-level a NPCs really won't change. They still aren't that deadly to an armored, buffed combat character. The high level mobs, read nightsister protector and elders, will be more limited. Althoughm they normally only drop DOT weapons as opposed to weapon enhancments. And Axkva Min has probably gone to a kill once or twice a week happeneing instead of the kill her right at server restart every day. Actually saw her still alive last night on Tempest. She's never there that long past server restart.
Bones and tissures won't change. Nothing new with the acklay and dragons.
