Tougher mobs = crappy rewards?

in Guild Wars 2

While I do find it fun to try and solo a tougher mob just for the challenge and experience (the playing experience that is, not ingame xp :P ) I don't think they are actually rewarding enough.

 

It's a fun challenge, and some of those can be really tough but for the most time all you get for your effort is the same drop as an ordinary mob.

I mean, I don't want any epic loot of greatness, doesn't even have to be a weapon or a piece of armor but something a bit more out of the ordinary.

More cash, more dyes, more mats, some boost...anything really to set them apart from regular mobs.

 

Dunno, maybe it was just my crappy luck with the drops, and it's not really anything gamebreaking just a thought.

They're still fun to kill as is, though heh.

    I can't find the source but I remember reading that mobs above your level (orveterans/champions) have increased chance of dropping better loot like rare stuff and dyes.

    Above my "real" level or above my downscaled level?

  • LethalJaxxLethalJaxx Member Posts: 105
    above your downscaled level. I've consistantly gotten my best items when i was downscaled. My first yellow drop (lvl 39 item) was from a lvl 5 mosquito (downscaled level 3 or 4)

    When you are downlevelled you get less though.

    Mobs above your level have a better chance of dropping better loot.

    Yes as some has sead, It's level based, higher level on the mob better % you get good loot.

    If it's not broken, you are not innovating.

    I'd have to disagree. I've gotten some really awesome loot from level 10 mobs while being downscaled from 55.

     Yes, you have. But chances are just smaller.

    I'm more annoyed with the fact DE still give crappy gold even at lvl 40s

    You fight a hard boss which calls thiefs to help him then when you're about to kill it it transforms and gets full life again having to re fight it, long story short the reward on gold is a messly 60-70 copper.....

    This is for all the DE rewards tough, I seriously hope at cap there will be means of gaining some money without grinding for hours.

    I make tons of money with crafting and chest rewards I can't use when TP is up that is.

    Other than buying fine mats off the TP to max out a crafting skill as quickly as possible, gold hasn't really been an issue for me at level 80. All I've been doing recently is running DE's in Cursed Shore and WvWvW/sPvP.

     Chest as black lion chest? They are sold for like 5c on TP.

    Dont know, but i got a feeling, that the mobs(especially in camps) in the WvW areas drop a whole lot more, then anywhere else. Not necessary better, but a lot. And usually there is a DE in those camps.

    Edit: i am on a medium populated server, so i dont get any queues for WvW. With queues it might be not worth it.

    True, one of the problems the game has imo.

    Even the reward for explorable modes are ... bleh ... until you've done them tons of times.

    Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
