Guild Wars 2

Champion by definition is meant to be the best – aside from the dragons etc. Harder, tougher and require a lot more effort.

Why is the loot dropped from them the same as the loot dropped from ordinary bad guys?

My suggestion: look at what drops from Champion’s and make it appropriate for the required effort.

The loot isn’t the same: it’s a guaranteed drop — no other foe has that. It’s also a guaranteed minimum: fine loot or better — no other foe has that, either.

I agree that the loot still isn’t on par with the effort — particularly if you solo or duo a champ, you might spend 5-10 minutes on a champ (or more, depending on skill and efficiency of build) and end up with what appears to be worse loot.

That’s balanced a little bit by the fact that champs are usually associated with an event that offers some silver (and karma).

Still, I rarely try to tackle even veterans for just their loot — I do it for the challenge and bragging rights.

Actually, all loot tables should scale.

Normal < Veteran < Champion < Boss

it goes like this

Normal < Veteran < Silver (from dungeons) < Champion < Legendary

Fine loot … let’s see. Unless I’m under level 14, fine loot equals salvage or vendor trash. Just have the mob drop an extra 50 copper to 1 silver and save me the bag space.

Works for me, I hate dungeons so I didn’t even think about the silver tag…thanks for the catch

Does the loot scale? I usually find crap when killing random veterans(no better than normal)..
