loot curation STILL not working in dungeons.

BlackKnight556

So I just did a solo run of vaults of madness and every single boss drop without fail was an item I already have. I'm still missing 11 pieces of Oblivion's Edge, 12 pieces of Rattlecage, and 9 pieces of Worms Raiment.

If those are weapons, I think only the final boss drops those.

Oof, you are correct. Though I am missing a ring from one set.

So anyway I was wrong about this, I just didn't think about what types of loot were supposed to drop from which bosses so this can be deleted.

My prog group did Vet Vaults of Madness, and one member of the group didn't get a single item that he was missing from his collection and he's barely started. everyone else pulled a new items for their collection but him.

Yeah, I've since noticed that set items in treasure chests in dungeons are completely random and may be something new or may be something you already have.

Is anyone else noticing an issue in Sanctum Ophidia? I've only done 2 runs recently since the "fix" patch and in both runs, nobody was receiving specifically curated loot. I'm still missing body pieces for multiple sets that drop there and received other sets I already had instead as did the rest of the group. The weapon drops off the end boss seemed to be the old style random with some members getting items they needed and others getting duplicates.

This seemed to be different than the major/minor gear set roll bug. I was missing minor sets and receiving minor set pieces, but ones I already had and not new pieces.

That's expected though. Chest drops and mob loot drops are not curated.

Correct, only the final boss is curated.

Geeze, only the final boss is curated? What a pain.

My understanding is that all of the bosses are curated but they will only drop armor. Only the last boss will drop curated weapons and jewelry.
Chests can also sometimes drop weapons and jewelry but chest drops are not curated so you can get anything.

I had multiple already stickered armor drops from non-final bosses in the sets I am missing ARMOR pieces in. Happened in several dungeons.

Did Spindleclutch today. Normal. Lots of armour pieces not collected (alt account), drops from bosses were duplicates, not all but some. Not named weapons or jewellery either, just regular, run of the mill, gloves and the like.

I've done a number of Hel Ra runs recently and we have the theory that the loot table of the final boss doesn't contain all weapons of all sets in all difficulties. This probably applies to all Craglorn raids. So of you get dublicates on vet, go back to doing it on normal and if you don't get what you need on normal, swap to vet.

Every boss is curated.

The issue most people are running into is that the non weapon gear drops a ton, so after a few runs that part of the sticker book is already filled and all that is left is weapons. Weapons only drop from the final boss. So when looking at your sticker book, you will have to run the dungeon as many times as the weapons you have left to collect.

So far, I have not had a single instance of the curation dropping an item that I already knew. Sure, sometimes I might get the same piece twice because I did not bind the first drop. But never have I gotten a drop I didn't need when I still had a piece that a specific boss could drop.

Not every boss in the dungeon drops the same type of gear. So it is likely that the bosses that dropped the gear you had already collected were the ones dropping "duplicates" since they could never drop a piece you needed if it isn't in their loot pool.

Did wonder that, if they only dropped items from a particular set. Never really noticed before as on my main account I had all the clothing drops before curated came in.

So probably not a bug then .

It isn't actually by set, it is by armor type. From the wiki:

Mini bosses will drop either a hand, waist, or feet set piece.
Bosses will drop either a chest, shoulder, head or leg set piece.
The final Boss of a dungeon will drop weapons or jewelry

Curated does not add to the drop tables for a boss, so if you are fighting a mini boss and already have hand, waist, and feet you will always get a duplicate because that boss can not drop anything else.

Do you already have all Hands, waist, and boots collected from Crypt of Hearts?

If you do, then you will never get bosses that only drop those set types to drop anything else. That is not how curation works.
