Theories on Loot

Aside from my character’s basic belief system in God Lootius and all…
realistically I have heard 3 theories. I tested them over the course of 5 months and they all seem to work some times, and not work other times, so, I care to share:

Theory 1: With VU 6, if you are hunting one single race of mob, no matter of subclass, old, mature, young, provider, just same race, and if you’re sticking with that race for like 50-100 kills, you’re guaranteed at least a global.

Theory 2: Perception skill plays a major role in your ability to loot items and more cash.

Theory 3: If hunting in a team, the less difference in skills there is between the partners, the better chances of good loot. Also, to get better cash and items amount, the partner with higher perception should do the looting of the dead mob.

Myself, I tend to believe in theory 3, because whenever the higher-skilled one loots, the team always tends to profit better. This I tested myself many times and it seems to work.

However, none of the 3 theories directly approach the infamous “multiplier mob” aspect. Is the multiplier mob always stays where it spawned, or does it get determined at the moment of the kill?

Would you agree, disagree, or alternatively argue with any of these statements? Any other observations of your own on loot and how it’s done?
Care to share?

Weeeell…

Really I belive in none of them :smiley:
If you keep hunting anything long enuff you’ll get a global eventually. Bet there is no 50-100 guarantee.

I belive the loots are in the avatar if you understand. Not the mob. If a guy next to you gets a hof on a mob, doesnt mean you would get one if you shot the same mob. See MindBuster’s theory, I liked that one :smiley:

Maniac perhaps you missed this post, but it’s the best theroy I’ve seen.

I commented in that thread as well. I like MindBuster’s theory. Just wanted to see if any of mine were noticed by anyone? What about team hunts? One of the members’ karma decides the team hof?

Thats a known theory but… I dont think I belive it :smiley:
Simply because while the skilled ones in my soc almost never got hof, a noob in the society got 7 during his first 3 weeks.

Dang it! This entirely ruins my approaches.

How is team loot decided then? MindBuster’s theory is that an avatar is born with luck. So suppose, it’s my time to HOF today, and you’re on my team.
Do we hof together, riding the wave of my luck, or do you screw up my loot, because today is not your horoscope time?

Cant say I would believe in those.

As a person who has hunted low/mid level mobs most of time in pe I can well say that 50-100 mobs per global rule dont work. I easily kill over 100 mobs per run and I dont get global even every 10th run (actually before new loot system I got even more rarely globals).

Im beleave in that theory, sounds very true.

Fortune favours the Brave

Why people only want to believe 1 thing at a time :slight_smile:
Life has more than 1 parameter, so has VL

:smiley:

Our loot is trapped in the 11th dimension :laugh:

There are many theories, I’ve tried a few and they have all worked to a certain degree at times … but, then they stop working … could it be that there is some truth in most of the theories & when you log on, a random looting ‘system’ is assigned to your avatar for that session only??

Aw crap!!! … another theory to throw around!!!

Rookie,

I don’t beleve in any, I think it’s very simple and logic the loot system. And NOT player based at all. I think a mob is spawn wish a loot, and when you kill it, it’s like downloading a file. 100% dead, and you get a file “No loot” 90% of them haha.

But I think if someone els would kill just that mob he would get the same loot.

But I can think the mobs loot spawn is very different and have a nice system behind it. But I think they are spawn with the loot. Not at all depended on the hunter.
