Random loot ?

Onin

One thing I really miss in this game is: there are no really good random loot drop in game. Beyond MOTIF there is nothing. Why ?

I would really like to at least have a small chance to find some nice upgrade in a box or a mob drop, but no, nothing

Until I started crafting, I was always upgrading my gear from loot drops. Not sure what your asking for.

Tempers to improve armor? There are many ways to get Tempers in the game.

o.O
motifs, recipes, crafting mats, gear with/without set bonuses, trophies collectibles

so now im confused, you wanna a space ship or something totally random like a ice-cone?=

Onin

What I miss is random loot drop that I like to use directly, like a staff with a nice proc or something like that. Nothing über, but something that is unique

Nestor

Bosses and Sub Bosses drop nice weapons and armor all the time. You just have to be lucky that what drops is something you can use.

The only two issues are dropped sets take too long to accumulate, you out level them before you complete them. Although, most dropped sets drop from any mob, not just Bosses. And, you can craft better gear than most drops, but you can also improve most drops with crafting so that kind of works out.

That is the main issue: I can craft better gear. I miss the chance to pick up something unique and equal or even slightly better gear from random loot

Go do Trials and Undaunted Pledges, you will get what you want

You must have not seen very many sets then. There are 146 sets in this game, not counting unique weapon drops. Many dropped sets are far superior to anything that can be crafted and have sets bonuses that can't be crafted.

How about I want to find stuff in chests/trunks, barrels, urns/vases, etc. in a solo instance because that solo instance is mine. Why do I get to find in my solo instance that everything was already cleaned out by the person who walked in there 5 minutes ago?

And before you think I answered my own question there, they are not the same instances, and, therefore, they should have their own random drops and I should have my own random drops in each of those instances.

Container loot is instanced to you, whether you are in a solo instance or not. So the player that walked through five minutes before you will never be able to clean it out.

All containers are instanced per player. No one can take anything from you. I can go into a bank or a delve and empty every container and you can come in right behind me and there will be items in those same containers for you. The only things that aren't instanced per player are resource nodes and treasure chests.

Nestor

Don't forget, that RNG determines whether a container is empty or not, so even an unlooted dungeon will have some empty containers.

Well that would explain why I got those 3 daedric motifs within 2 days. Almost every friggin container in those instances are EMPTY when I go in there. Thanks for the replies!

The loot system pretty much sucks A. What to do?
