Boss' not dropping anything

RapturousRex · June 2015

Not sure if this is an issue or not, but I've done Deshaan, and I'm no longer getting drops off of Dolmen boss', Group Boss', or the Delve boss'. Is this normal? Or am I getting goosed?

To clarify, I was halfway through Deshaan when things stopped dropping, and had only done a couple of them before it stopped.

What level are the quests/mobs around you? If you are 5 or more levels above the mobs, you won't get loot.

If you kill a delve boss, and do right after a other delve, the boss dont drop anything.
The timer will reset after a while ( it was 30min i think)
It was a fix for the bots

else the case MissBIzz explained could also be the problem

I don't get anything but like 2 gold from bosses. It's ridiculous like idk why you'd make a boss but then don't give out decent loot for the hard work it took to get to the boss at the end of the quest

I think it is less than 30 mins, but yeah it is there if you chain kill bosses.

Ran into it a few times doing public dungeon bosses last night and had to explain it to friends. Game never tells you about it. maybe they should add it to a loading screen?

Actually, I don't think it's that they don't drop anything in those circumstances, I think it's just that they don't drop typical delve boss loot, and instead drop typical mob loot. I say this because there have been a couple of times when I've killed the delve boss, and still been in the area when it respawns and another player came along, and I've helped the other player out with it. I could be remembering wrong, but I was pretty sure that in those cases I would get a handful of gold from the delve boss and nothing else, as opposed to getting gold, gear, and soul gems like usual.

Yeah, looks to be a mix of the two, I hit one, then immediately hit another, levelled up, and prior to the levelling was within 5 levels of the second.

Yep, as long as you are not over leveled, 5 above the boss or more, you get either the 2 to 3 item mob drop or you get the 6 to 8 item boss drop. The boss drop might give you the unique Blue item, but that is RNG.

I had a small delve I ran all the time looking for Warlock Rings, it took about 5 to 8 minutes to circle it. Every two rotations the Boss would spawn and I would get Boss Drops almost every time, unless I was quick about doing the delve. If I stopped to open a chest or two, that seemed to give enough time for the Boss Drop to occur again.
