Yeah, I know.  But I'm still playing catch up.

Named loot tables - did they increase them?  I have named items drop damn near every quest now - including quests I never even knew had named items.  I pulled 2 cloaks of invisibility farming TS within 4 quick runs, where I'd never got one the like 100 fucking times I ran it back in the day.

I pulled 3 named items out of Tear the other day in a single run and I didn't even know Tear had named items.  Seriously, ran that damn quest at least 100 times and have never seen a named item before.

So, either they've really cranked up the drop rate, or my stupid little exploit is working.

The underdark is now not so dark?  It's not my imagination, right?  You don't even need the goggles to get around (technically you never had to have them, but it was easier with them)?  Pretty sure I don't approve of this change.  Kind of liked it how it was.

Have traps been nerfed?  I'm having a hard time telling because I've been playing rogue splashes, but are traps still the one hit one kill deathtraps they were?  I run right over them now and barely even notice them, but the one time I rolled a one on my save, it was instant kill, so I'm not sure.

If they haven't been toned down, it's still pointless to have them that high.  It can easily be by-passed with a splash of rogue and all it does is discourage pure builds.

And finally, has anyone ever made a list of which quests rewards which items?  I'm about 90% certain that quest givers always reward the same items (random loot gen, but certain ones always only give out staffs and shield, bastard swords and necklaces, etc).  Just wondering if anyone put the information together where you can try to farm certain random items at a certain level range from specific quests' end rewards.

Edit - Forgot the most important question - found a double augmented, craftable pair of goggle in my inventory.  Pretty sure it's left over from when the epic random drops were incompatible with the heroic (might be wrong, but seem to recall that the epic random loot deconstructed down to level 20, not level 01 and the weapons kept the epic [W]).

Do double slotted items still drop with random loot?  Or are you only going to find them left over on the AH like guild augments?

Almost only elite BB (I jump in to reaper if it's a quest/chain I can't solo, but I'm probably at least 90% solo).  Shame they didn't do this freaking years ago when the items were worth using.  Damn near all of items before 2013 or so are just vendor trash now (hell, random loot is better - at least you can break it down for essences).

That might be it.  Think this at least the 5th computer I've played ddo on and (obviously) the best.  With the exception of a few dark corners, I find the underdark to be completely and easily navigatable now.

I have much higher PRR this time around than when I quit playing and made sure to get elemental resistance for all the elements.  Way easier to get it all fit in now with the new crafting system.  I'll probably still end up using a splash of rogue for all my builds because it's just easier to solo with it - plus I can open doors and locked chests (even when I can't actually trap).

Could be my imagination, but I'm pretty sure if you pay attention to the same level quests you tend to run at once (the depths chain and the house K, shorter quests) that they always offer roughly the same items (more noticeable if you run the same chain on two different settings back to back).

Not sure how random the items' prefixes and suffixes actually are, but it seems to me that certain quest givers always mostly give you shields, certain ones always offer staffs, others always offer long swords or hand axes, etc.

No. Yes.

There's always a reward list somewhere that didn't get updated. Could might be still dropping on one of those.

Skoodge wrote on Aug 20^th, 2017 at 3:56am:


Not sure, but for friday/saturday raidathon I noticed that we had an unconventional amount of Named items ( almost everybody got at least one name out of VON 5/6, 4 or 5 items dropped in Defiler; Shroud was it's usual self, but well that's Shroud, ingredsients have their own loot tables )

Skoodge wrote on Aug 20^th, 2017 at 3:56am:


Nothing new, especially if you're running an Elf or a Dwarf at the moment...

Skoodge wrote on Aug 20^th, 2017 at 3:56am:


Traps have always been a joke since F2P, the only time they tried to get them deadly all the forum whore whined, and they toned them down pretty fast.
( they used to be deadly initially )

I don't think anybody bothered, like making a list of the Quest String Table from the /loc

Skoodge wrote on Aug 20^th, 2017 at 3:56am:


Rarely, very rarely... but they still drop... almost as rare a drop as a Tome...

NoGoodDoc wrote on Aug 20^th, 2017 at 3:32pm:


...So what is the exact increase per skull for this?

I always assumed it would actually make *some* difference?

Scrybe wrote on Aug 23^rd, 2017 at 12:13pm:


Unsurprisingly, they won't disclose that information. And, usually, when they don't want to tell us, it's because we won't like the answer.

But if you want to lawyer it, let's use a fairly reasonable example: say there is a 3% drop rate for an item and each skull gives 5% increase in drop chance, at 10 skulls that's 4.5% for that item. Better, yes, but not in any meaningful way. Especially with the time/resource commitment 10 skulls can require.

Hmm, a DDO private server would be pretty cool TBH. I don't care if I'd be the only one playing it, but being able to return to DDO circa 2012 right before MOTU would be amazing.

Voice of the master and cloak of the worlshaper are still 'go to' items.  The loots from red fens and Sharn Syndicate are all op now.
