Do the level of skills matters in getting good or bad loot?

[LeeYap]

Skills no matter. If they did you'd see the same ubbers spamming hofs, globals and new items all the time.

[Henceforth]

More skills mean less loss, so more kills = more loot for same costs.
More skills mean better use of high equipment, so bigger mobs = more chance of getting bigger loots.

So skills do affect loot, and they dont.

And even that would be a theory and not the truth.

my experience says it don't affect loot

Well in some instances skills just allow you to hunt longer and cheaper which gives you more opportunity to get a nice loot.

In other instances you need skills to use certain equipment like deep level finders and high level mining amps which can directly impact what you find and how much you find.

In crafting the more skills you have coupled with a high QR BP might mean you can make a Jester D-1 at a higher tt than someone just starting out and a 0 QR BP.

So I would say that skills by themselves don't directly impact your loot but coupled with the right equipment and knowledge plus a smattering of good luck they are worth every penny.

There are just so many theories out there and there is no "end all be all" answer to it because everyone is basing their opinion on limited factual information supplied by the developer.

Certain skills and equipment are expensive for a reason and its just not an abitrary inflation its due to the tangible results many participants over the years have experienced.

So skills in an indirect way sort of affect loot but that is through better economy, more looting opportunities, and a greater variety of tool usage.

Thats just my opinion though and I am still waiting for MA to clarify a few things lol
