Why nerfing loot for the world NPCs?
Why don't you nerf DGs loot?
People steamroll DGs with ease just 5 people and still getting best loot.
World BAMs drop one charm? and some times nothing, it has to be a joke.
How can one craft if there is little to nothing of a chance to loot hides.
Regular NPCs same level drop is one to fifteen.
This game is Pay to win.
For the loot in DGs. DGs have to be at least 5 times harder.
Or at least implement calculating system that will increase toughness upon how many players and their level and also there should be at least one item per class and only that class corresponding to the item could pick it up.
And for the world loot? reverse it to the first day when pre-order started.

Bump ^^^

i agree, world bosses drop junk, normal monsters and bam's dont drop anything spectacular... makes crafting insanely grindy...

Best thing we can do is make suggestions and see if they listen.

But overall, the game is amazing for me.

I love how they made Tera, design, combat but loot is terrible.

Bump.

I get blues decently often and even a couple golds(even got 2 golds off normal mobs). Then again I also solo all BAMs. The runes alone are quite valuable as there are actually decent weapons/armors in crafting, just that no one person has all the runes needed to get there on their own. Sell them titan runes for moolah, or hang on to them for your own crafting.

They probably nerfed the loot BECAUSE you can solo BAM's etc. Dungeon you need 5 pretty much all the time, if it's even level content.

If you aren't overleveled, regular BAMs drop fine loot. If you are, then drops are poor. Story BAMs aren't real BAMs, so don't expect anything good in the way of drops.

Dungeon bosses occasionally drop nothing. If you have not seen this, then you have not run dungeons enough to comment. While running SM at-level, saw three consecutive zombie bear kills without an equippable item dropping.

World bosses, both "elite" and normal, drop named pieces of gear that only they drop, like Thunderchain off Barraq the Thunderwalker. There are a few items that drop only off that big wild pig in Fey Forest. Even Vekas and Kugai have their own drops.

World bosses are also good for guild tokens. Up to 20 tokens for one kill in a group of 5.

Anyway, the OP for this thread lacks anything in the way of specific complaints. Are we talking about one boss kill or 20? At-level kills or overleveled? Story BAMs or world bosses? Which ones?

TL;DR: World Boss drops are fine.

level 30 BAM and me level 33.
I solo them for missions killed 5 for each mission and got few things out of them, I sometimes get 2 gold and less, rarely get titan runes and 98000 XP, definitely not what I expected for a loot.
Not to mention normal mobs.
I will be OK with the loot we had on the first day of pre-order release.

World bosses are more or less completely pointless to fight. They all seem to have a 'chance' to drop something good, but they seem just as likely to drop something completely useless, like a campfire, or a charm. The world bosses, like the modified dungeons SA and AoS, need guaranteed item drops (like all the other dungeon bosses), or no one will ever do them.
