What's the most ridiculous thing(s) you've heard that'll supposedly get you better loot

Hamiltonmath · February 2016

My guild swears that having trophies in your inventory gets you better drops.

You get better loot If you didn't get laid lately.

On the contrary. You can only have 2 stacks of for instance monstrous teeth and then twilight's glow blue and you won't get any drops of them. True stuff. But...give them to a friend and have him mail them to you and keep them in your mail resets the cycle and trophy drops restart from scratch like one tooth per kill. Good times.

A secret finesse meter. Activating synergies, surviving near death, and doing good deeds increases your meter.

I read that as "Fitness" meter. Was waiting to read further down that ESO would be coming out on the Wii soon.

Opening a locked chest by using a certain pattern with the tumblers grants better loot (maps etc.) I will not reveal the correct sequence here as it works and don't want it hotfixed....

Putting 76 points into thief rather than 75, because the server knows you're just trying to get loot by putting 75 into it.

Do the same thing over and over and over again till it's boring and dull so you can play the game.

This is actually true, here goes :
If you get a dps of around 12.3k or 13.5k, and the healer in the party gets 9k HPS, everyone drops a molag kena heavy hat. The dps with that number will get a infused one, there will be a random divines and well-fited for the other dps *that can have whatever number* and tank, and the healer always gets infused med.

Trust me. Go try it.

I have one that I like to spread around.

Killing all critters inside a dungeon improves the chance of a helm drop.

Keep all the stolen "Lucky" items in your characters bag...

If you want to get a boss spawn in the dolmen, you gotta destroy the pinions in a certain way. I think it was like SE, NW, SW, NE...This was in the AD zone chat. Had taken long time to test. This player was heard cursing others who didn´t follow this and blame them for no show bosses.

Edit.Corrected my mistake

laksikus · February 2016

the drop rate for heads get higher if you only did the last boss, and no other bosses in vet dungeon

that actually applies to me, got kena on my first try, after i only joined on last boss.
Got my Skoria too after joining for last boss, same with 1 of my engine heads^^

The cake is a lie.

I heard leaving all pinions up on an anchor increased the chance of spawning one of Molag Bal's generals. Never saw any significant evidence to support it. I soloed a lot of anchors and left the pinions up until the end just about every time. Never felt like it made a difference.

I can't think of any loot drop superstitions I have heard. I know if you get rare loot like a decent Skoria helm on your first run, people say things like "I hate you" and "you're a @%$&," And then, if you put it on and do a little victory dance, there will be no more helmet drops for your group for the next 20 runs. TRY IT!

Each character also has a secret Luck attribute that is only rolled once during character creation, which affects the loot you will get forever.

I knew it!

That the "Treasure Hunter" Champion Point passive increases the quality of items found in treasure chests.

Pah, tried that one, total myth...

I don't know, but lately I thought something fishy was going on after running WGT normal 4 times and getting 3 Overwhelming pieces (all divines) and some other pieces of the other sets, like Essence Thief and Shock Master, all in 4 runs while my friends got nothing, so I assumed that RNG was kinda paying me back from the crap Maelstrom weapon rewards, or something.

Performing a Ritual!

Whilst standing 1m or less from a lifeless Molag Kena, you are to salute, pray, cry, pull out a torch, kowtow, flapp your arms in the air or scream. Increases the drop rate of the monster helm!

True story: I had run Vet White Gold Tower about 15x with no drop. Finally, my friend told me about the ritual, so I performed it at Molag Kena's corpse and recieved a Heavy Infused Helm. It was literally EXACTLY what I wanted. Try it yourself!

Must try this. lol
