Vet/Champs drop rates and MF
Veteran doesn’t mean you will get rare items, every lvl 80 mob has a chance to drop yellows and exotics at a low chance as I know.
See this thread, it is across the board; https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Change-in-loot-parameters-or-a-bug/page/2#post839066
I ran around killing things last night and out of three veterans 1 champ I got 1 grey and 3 blues. The grey came off the champion.
Thats 4 items more than you used to get before the update on Veterans.
“After several hours I’m still swinging this sword with1 lodestone drop”
MF IS A GIMICK< IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BETTER LOOT. I fail to relize how people can even fathum that you HAVE TO HAVE MF ON TO GET ANYTHING GOOD.
I do not have any MF BS bonus’s on any of my gear. Stats are more important to me then MF. Through game chat I found out a few other players had nothing but MF gear and MF bonus’s farming the same things I was, and I managed two rares on a drop, and they get blues and greens. I know they got blues and green’s because they where biatching about it.
It is all based on the RNG. MF is just a tool used by the devs for coin sinking. The whole game is designed around coin sinking, why in the heck MF gear is on its own plain, and there should be no reason NOT to get better loots, just by wearing it? To beat the RNG? No, because if it was to beat the RNG then why does ALL gear not come with the MF bonus by default? And why should the game even have a RNG sytem in the first place.
