Question: Hunting for Items

[The One]

some (many) months ago i promised myself i would not spare my neurons (for nothing) by "whining" on EF... still, here is another "juicy" tread and i just cant help myself about posting... so here is... hmmm... what should i call it?... "a story"...
some time ago, not that long ago, a "feature" was (unfairly - but thats not the subject of this thread, details about how community feels about that could be found here) introduced into the game economy: i'm speaking here about the foot guards... me, stupid enough to belive the "... there will be enough of boots in loot before 9.1!..." sht, tried - and tried hard - to get my jag foot guards, so that my (once full) jag set to be complete again... altho invested considerable effort into that "search" (i may call +1 month 4-5-6 hrs/day trox hunting "considerable" isn't it?), the outcome was (surprisingly ???) no food guards for me... and i don't really want to remember the less then 50% return on those hunts... on the other hand, during that period, the "merry mayhem" circus took place - considering the huge !!! amount of trox killing during the "event", one could expect there should have been more then enough foot guard drops - at least for jag armor... well... we can see for ourselfs how "enough" it was/is...

so: if you are asking these questions,

you'd better:
1. add the very important word: "lately"
2. direct the questions to those "milk and honey" EF posters... i'm sure they'll tell you the right thing to be done...
3. become a "milk and honey" yourself... as you show a fair level of activity on EF you couldn't miss the fact that "milk and honey" applies "dynamicaly" for both (the ingame and the EF) activities... that way you could be sure you won't have to "try" too much for whatever you want/need to loot...

as for me... back to my (never spoiled) battleship... at least for as long as (among other things) my (once full) jag set would need the overnight invented extra part...

good "dynamic" for you...

I have to agree with the sentiments here about Jag footguards. Never really looted anything that I was after, have camped Atrax for about 8 weeks and nada. plenty of small globals and stuff but all oils. Never a Bravo in sight. I have done the same before, killed THOUSANDS of merp looking for grem gloves - not a sausage. Camped Feffs for 3 months and looted 1, yes 1 Korss 400!!! Took down thousands of those buggers too.

I dont believe that much of the loot is there randomly, I do believe that it is targeted somehow to avatars. Dontask me how but I know that whilst I have had a few good days in the past few years of loot hunting, from a ped perspective it is a drain.

But I do love the game .... so I cant really complain :P
