Basically those items, but equivalent to if they were crafted without any runics. thats how it was.

Though any chest has a chance to pull 100% intensity items, the higher levels just have lower minimum.

You think that's worth digging up, Squirrel?

Its random, so that particular haul is not all that great but you can still get nice stuff. theres also chance of masterpiece resources and other stuff of that sort.

i actualkly got VERY similar results. I think fishing loot really needs to be looked at. x1 lvl 4 tmap, and x2 lvl 5 tmaps i did had loot exactly like indigos. Also, i used x4 fabled fishing nets (from gambling), and all i got were x4 mobs, and a bunch of special nets. i threw all the special nets, and just kept getting a few more special nets, and all the sea creatures gave junk. IMO sea creatures should have loot pumped way up, because it order to get them to spawn its a lot more work than just going to any dungeon. But yea, tmaps ATM aren't even close to PvM, and you have to decode, look up cords, plan a route, go there, dig it up, kill the spawn, fend off from constant spawn while sifting through 1-2 mod, 10% intensity items and stacks of regs =p.

*Side note
Tmaps used to be able to give multiple wands, and i believe liches/lich lords/ancient liches also dropped wands in the past (someone correct me if im wrong).

Not saying every item in the treasure chest is worth looting. Just like runics, not everything you create will be worth keeping.

Archived topic from AOV, old topic ID:2126, old post ID:13831

Yes but the loot still sounds so lame, the cart/fisher that I had planned to make now is somewhere between the last character i'm gunna make and not being made. It's not worth it to me to make a character thats going to bring in a net loss for me even if I like the game mechanic (I truly like Thunting and Fishing). And by net loss I mean whats the point of it if the loot is still bad for the time you spend to dig it up. 4k and a whole buncha stuff like that????

Thats not worth taking the time to make/outfit a new char and then spend time finding maps, decdode, get to the site, dig it up, kill the spawn and search through the loot. Not too mention that I had to build a special templated char just to have the honor of getting bad loot from a chest instead of bad loot from spawn. I mean if I want loot like that with the "chance of masterpeice reasources and 100% intensity" I could go hunt ratmen and gargoyle paragons at compassion-Ish. They give about the same loot from everything I've heard and take so much less time and I can do them all my pre existing PvM chars. (and theres supposed to be some reason to fight paragons but I am not sure what it is cuz none i've ever killed were worth killing, even the 2 lich lord Paragons I've brought down.)

Not all that great?

Bad Luck?

As it stands the most valuable loot I got from that was the gold.

Also what is the rate of getting Fabled SoSs on this shard? Demise had about 1 per every 10-12.

As was said before, the loot system in RunUO just plain sucks. It sounds like that and instanced corpses are very desired features lately.

Archived topic from AOV, old topic ID:2126, old post ID:13836

Yeah but a level 4 chest(fishing and treasure are the same IIRC) should give better loot then a god-damn lizardman.

So is this going to get fixed or should I just wait the 5 days and delete?

Archived topic from AOV, old topic ID:2126, old post ID:13839

Yeah the loot system is bad, it does not really listen properly to the parameters I give it. When I code another from scratch it will be more predictable what drops.

Archived topic from AOV, old topic ID:2126, old post ID:13847

Fishing and Cartography are getting new things added to them that are not coded.

-Cartography is getting relics
-Fishing is getting special fish and possibly pirates

These things take time to code, hence why they are not in. The loot bump was just the beginning. Like I explained before, some items are going to suck in the chests and some people might not find it worthwhile to dig up, that's up to them. If you could get everything from 1 chest, why do another?

Also, what kind of items would you expect to find in these chests to make them worthwhile? Properties are random and we can keep bumping intensities but in the end, you can still end up with something you don't like.

The odds for a Ancient SoS is?

Also, planning a quick fix or should I not fish up my other 21 MiBS?

Archived topic from AOV, old topic ID:2126, old post ID:13851

The loot he listed sounds about like the loot of a level 2 chest anywhere i've ever done Thunting. Thats about all I'm gunna say on it.

About 1 in 25. Whatever the runuo default is. If it's a little too high it can probably be lowered slightly. Also keeping in mind that if you have really bad luck (Like myself) you can get 2 ancient sos's out of 100 mibs.

Oh I know. What I am trying to say is that the loot is "bumped" yet a lizardman gives better stuff.

You guys keep implying that we want stuff for free. We don't. We want actually decent stuff after we invest about 5-8 hours doing something. SC-1 viking sword with no other mods does NOT cut it. Mana Increase 2 Ringmain Leggings with 5 Poison resist and no other mods. Bracelet with Faster Casting 1. I got nothing with over 3 mods and MAYBE 50% intensity. We know it takes time to do your coding and whatnot, why don't you guys see that it takes time to actually do what you guys code?

Like the teddy bear comment regarding old AI. Teddy bear or not, we still put forth a heavy time investment per mob and all that jazz. Same is true with mining, crafting, fishing, demitels, and everything else.


Im sorry, but I hate when you guys make it sound like we want free items like Tony and Puff(no offense )

Hell, Items looted from mobs and whatnot allready pale in comparison to what many of us allready have. We just like being rewarded somewhat. Even if we will never get anything we will actually use . . . its nice getting stuff that we would almost use.

What's your luck? Luck does have an impact on your loot. When I play on my char (Using honor for the luck bonus ) I pull in bracelets and necklaces with 1/3 lrc 20 and other worthwhile items (Mind you, I tend to hunt larger game). What are the most common creatures you go to kill?

While testing wand drops, I was also looking at chest loot.

First chest I spawn


ring
wrestling +9

HCI 12
poison resist 15

ring2
tactics +12
peace +15
EP 25
hci 13
sdi 11

shield
dci 14
hci 11

100ish of each reg

there was also a taming +12 vet+9 provoc +10 FC1 int 6 ring brace that caught my attention in another chest.


Just have to remember, chests have 1-6 levels. level 1-3 are rather crappy while 4-6 increase. 6 being quite ubber at times.

Theres currently a huge lack of chest spawns, we will be adding much more. They'll start as level 1 chests and go up to 6 as you hit the harder parts of a dungeon.

What type of chest was that? Not a fishing one.

Spawn a fishing chest level 4 and post what you get please?

I dont have any luck for my fisherman but I am saying that I pull better stuff off of Lizardmen that from that junk-pile of a MiB.
