Guild Wars 2

We have to exclude useless 4 copper exotic recipes and spoons from exotic loot pool…
Because it’s plain stupid to get 99% of drops that are exotic either a spoon or recipe..
I’m not even excited any more when I get “orange name item”.. and i have 350+ MF

I call those drops Epic Trash, and I laugh at how there’s so much epic trash one literally couldn’t give away if one stood in the middle of DR and tried most of the time, presuming it was tradeable epic trash in the first place.

Someone I know once asked for people to donate Exotic Superior Runes of the Useless, and he ended up with like 4 full stacks of those.

You can calculate for yourself how much that’s worth.

There is no such thing as an “exotic” loot table.
Usually every mob and container has different categories of loot, the most common are:
Gear
Mats
Gold
Consumables
Trophies

Now, if you kill a mob or open a container, you first roll from which category you get loot (you can end up getting loot from several categories).
Then you make another roll for the quality of the loot in each category.
So if, for example, a container has fine crafting mats, gear and an exotic recipe (3 categories) on the loot table, the succesful roll for the exotic recipe doesnt block a successful roll for a t6 mat or exotic gear.
