A taste of the best loot in the game (VR Dungeon loot mini guide)

✭✭✭✭
Not gonna do a full blown guide, but since I've yet to see any info online about the nice named loot available at endgame, figured I'd at least post a teaser to get more people interested in the VR dungeons.
Feel free to take these screenshots and put them on an appropriate wiki. Not sure which one is most popular for this game yet.
Why VR dungeon loot is worth a mention:
Prior to VR Dungeons, Every single named item I've seen has been 100% identical to whats available in random loot. (And 99% the same as crafted too - just lacking a set bonus usually).
VR Dungeon loot breaks that boring system, though it comes in two varieties:
- Common boss specific drop. These are unbound purples which are not any better then what can be crafted by players. They generally feature enchantments equal to a purple quality rune though, and with enchanting being hard to level, it makes some of them decent (The ones with good trait/enchantment combos).
- VERY rare bound on pickup purple drops. These come from any proper boss, in any of the 6 VR dungeons. The tier1s are VR5 and the tier2s are VR10. Aside from a moderate stat boost, they don't differ - and their set bonuses are compatible with each other (You get the weaker version of the mix).
- However it seems the weapons available in tier2 are slightly different then the tier 1s. While they have the same set bonuses (and are compatible), they have different names/types it seems. Not 100% sure on this, due to their rarity, but seems that way after seeing 3 burning brands (fire sword) in BC, and 6+ flamedancers (shock sword) in Wayrest (t2)
- What's special about the very rare BoP drops in general:
--Melee weapons generally have an enchantment twice as powerful as normal.
--Caster weapons generally have a double enchantment. (Often a damage shield + a life drain)
--They always have set bonuses.
--Only thing I've not seen drop is a shield. May exist, as these drops are very rare and I've only done some 100+ runs.
- I only took the time to screenshot what I had, but I've seen basically every type of armor piece, and weapon drop. Armor is always a 5 piece set bonus. Weapons are always 3 piece. (1-2 weapons + 1-3 Rings and/or Necklace).
Boss Specific common drops:
Banished Cells (T1):
- Fire Daedroth: An ok flame staff. (40 fire dmg)
- Transforming chick: An ok 1 handed sword (Firetooth) (40 fire dmg)
- Rillis: A crap 2 handed maul (32 unresistable damage)
Mini bosses drop blues. Jewelry, not very good as it's bugged, lacking traits.
Wayrest Sewers (T2):
- Harvester: A crappy dagger
- Lich: An ok frost staff
- Veraine and Allen:
-- Varaine drops: Veraine's Deathknell (2 handed sword)
-- Allene drops: Allene's Deathly Bow
Darkshade Caverns (T2):
Kwama: Due to exploiters, he has no loot, so whatever common he had is lost for now.
Globbulus: Can't recall. Wasn't good.
Tank: Pincer of the Guardian
Tier 1 - any major boss rare bound on pickup drops:
Burning Brand (Awesome 1H Firesword)
Tier 2 - any major boss rare bound on pickup drops:
Ebon Cuirass (Heavy set piece)
Gloves of the Worm Cult (Light set piece)
Flamedancer (Oddly it's a shock sword)
Necklace of Sardavar (Tank neck set piece, goes with a weapon)
Ebon Cuirass upgraded to legendary, with a basic storebought enchant:
Note the set bonus is lower because I have it equipped with VR5 pieces. It actually upgrades to 173 health if you had all V10 legendary pieces.
(And yea, all the blue mini boss jewlery, and all of the armor set pieces are bugged: They lack any traits)
At least the weapon/jewlery sets seem ok.
(Though ideally everything would start with both traits and enchants, and at least the armor should let you modify the enchants).
Also finally found a good wiki that has most of this info in a nice format if you wish to know more:

Keiffo✭✭✭Damn, I could have helped with this list, I dismantle all of the loot I get since it has no trait bonus.
The medium set bonus gives a stamina boost for 3/5, +10 healing for 4/5 and your group gains +25% stamina regen for 5/5. None of it has a trait.
Darkshade Caverns drops a daedric bow with a set bonus granting +360 penetration rating (not sure why it's worded like that or what it means).
I've also gotten several shields in Darkshade caverns, they don't belong to a set bonus.
I've gotten a shield from the daedra spider in Fungal, it gives 117 health enchantment and is reinforced trait IIRC. The spider also drops a 2h sword with an armour reduction enchantment.
Praxin in Spindleclutch drops the Nightmare bow, which reduces enemy armour for 5 seconds as an enchantment and has the precise trait.
The vampire at the end of Spindle drops a healing staff.
Eden Hollow drops a fire sword part of a set that grants 8 weapon damage when using 3 pieces. The amulet also drops in there.
I'll keep a record of what drops and update this for your list when I find new things.2 -
Axer✭✭✭✭re: Keiffo : You may want to read the guide more carefully.
Everything that is bound and has a set bonus, is not location specific. All of it can drop in any dungeon, off any boss.
Only unbound items are boss specific.Axer. Main tank and Leader of Crush it! (NA-EP highly skilled trials guild)0 -

Axer✭✭✭✭Updated main post with 1 thing:
Thinking while the armor drops in both tiers, seems the weapons probably dont.
As I've noticed some 3+ burning brands drop in the t1s, but zero in t2 yet - and some 5+ flamedancers dropped yesterday alone. (3 in 1 run lol - streaky RNG).
So yea imo the best 1hander in game drops in the tier1s oddly. (Because shock damage plain sucks in this game compared to fire)
For other weapon types, some are exactly the same though. Not sure what sup with that. (Healing staff for example doesnt change).
re: Doggie - I don't believe there is any BoE named items in these. They all appear to be either common drops - unbound, and rare - BoP drops.
And thx for the extra infos, never seen that ring.. Looks cool.Edited by Axer on May 5, 2014 10:08PMAxer. Main tank and Leader of Crush it! (NA-EP highly skilled trials guild)0 -
I know that for example in Banished cells, all parts of the Light/med/heavy set can be dropped ( And they lack traits on purpose, because the set effects are really REALLY good, especially the light )
Also i have 2 rings with set effect ( purple with 330 penetration bonus or whatever that may be )Edited by Nickdorlandb16_ESO on May 5, 2014 10:05PM0 -

It's obviously a bug.
Especially since the blue jewlery lacks traits too. And its garbage with no sets. (Random loot is better)
Imo they simply never finished the loot design, and released the game incomplete as they ran out of budget/time.
And yes, all armor pieces drop in all dungeons. T1 and T2 alike. Just the minimum level changes.
Also the stats/set bonuses +health/mana/stam scale automatically if you upgrade them to legendary ive noticed.
Ive also confirmed the healing staff drops in T1 and T2.. I got it twice on the same night, v5 and v10 versions. Exactly the same cept slightly scaled.Axer. Main tank and Leader of Crush it! (NA-EP highly skilled trials guild)0 -

The easiest is just spamming BC I guess. The Set items can drop in all dungeons and bosses (except mini bosses) it's all about luck getting it.

Zachy_B✭✭✭I'm not veteran yet my character is only level 40, but I don't understand why weapon damage goes down with the higher level weapons. Can someone explain that to me? For example the bow I have now does 715 damage but Allene's deathly bow does 132. What's up with that?0 -

These are old values. All stats were multiplied by rougly 7-10 in 1.6, so these images are outdated now.I'm not veteran yet my character is only level 40, but I don't understand why weapon damage goes down with the higher level weapons.
