Lot's of new toons that haven't upgraded their backpack/mount's carrying capacity yet so inventory space still limited?
So first thing the new toons do is finish the psyjic line to be able to loot the portals?
I highly doubt that.
some do. my friend did, for me it's still on the 'to-do' list.
also, they don't have to finish it, just do the summerset rifts.5 -

Race Against Time.
I almost never FINISH the quest line, but getting to level 3 and the speed boost makes gathering lore books and skyshards soooo much easier, especially when my mount is still slowEdited by FantasticFreddie on June 15, 2023 12:49PM1 -

TY for brightening my afternoon!
As a counterpoint to @ADarklore I take everything, autoloot, swipe, if it isn't bolted down, it's GONE
I find a use for everything haha.

✭Every portal I have looted in Necrom except 2 has only had runes. The 2 odd ones had runes and motif pages.
Have yet to see any gear. I've looted around a dozen or more.0 -

You don't have to finish the entire skill line, just the initial summerset portion.1 -

Unless you are watching them spawn, you can't be sure that they are bugged. Even one instance of watching it spawn and showing the loot table caught as a clip would be a valid bug report worth investigating.0 -

And yet:
From the Patch notesFixed an issue where a Psijic Portal and Antiquities Bonus Loot would occasionally award nothing.
It's not a far stretch to say they didn't fix it properly.2 -
Haenk✭✭✭✭Just to note: "award nothing" has not happened to me once. But it seems only the "default" loot table has been active, I looted Ambrosia and a purple ring and some other stuff as well (besides the runes). However nothing special to "Necrom".0

✭✭I can confirm it's bugged. I was fishing in Apocrypha when psijic portal spawned in front of me, so I'm certain that nobody touched it - I looted it and there were only runes...PC | EU | DC |Stam Dk Breton0 -

I got 1 overland set piece out of each of my Necrom CE treasure maps.
The older ones in the past though never had any just random non set pieces of gear usually blue or green quality.
Why you lie? CE chest has nor will ever be giving out set items.Still a grudge, only to see false what u want and nothing less.0 -

This year's are different. They can also give leads. I got two leads from the three CE maps. That definitely didn't happen with any prior year's maps for me.0 -

I had so many chests to open: 3 each on 2 accounts (one account each on both PC megaservers). In some other thread I posted what I got, I'll have to go looking in history to find it.______________________________________________________

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's asking the community for help.

I don’t understand though. Why was this moved to players helping players? If anything this should be moved to the BUGS subforum.
Do you just have a template to automatically move everything to the players helping players forum?3 -
valenwood_vegan✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Confused as to how players can help players with this issue... maybe it should be in bug reports? Well that's all above my pay grade.
Just joining in to say that I have found nothing but runes from every single psijic portal I've found in Necrom (I'd estimate 15-20 of them).
Obviously I have no way of knowing if someone else looted before me and left the junk, but in two cases there was a kuta left behind. Seems sus.0 -

Err what? How could the community solve this bug? This has to be done by ZOS.
And no, I don't understand, why this thread has to be moved, this makes no sense at all.
And yes, I can also confirm, the bug is still present, even if ZOS states it has been fixed.

✭If everyone is just getting runes, then the likely bug is that the portal graphic is showing when the node is a regular runestone. Since portals take the place of runestones, it would just be an interrupted replacement. I.e the rng dictated a swap to portal, but the process did not complete, and it only got as far as replacing the UI part, not the loot list.1 -

This is not the case. You have a default looting table for the portals, which includes the Barbaric motif, purple ring, Ambrosia and a couple more things. Those (minus the Amrosia, which is quite rare) I have looted from Necrom portal spawns - so these portals are real portals (and not runes), they just lack Necrom-specific items.0 -

I highly doubt that.
That's what I do/have done on any new alts I have made/make since Summerset dropped. And I do the Thieves Guild right away also.
I loot everything out of chests, troves and portals because I hate coming across one of those that has only the junk left in it. So I am not about to do that to someone else.Edited by Tia413 on June 29, 2023 9:48PM0
