I've said it before...how I'd love for a game to have awesome loot just drop at random, kinda like world drop blues/purples so lucky people...well...get lucky and getting beef caked out doesn't end with raiding but with wheeling dealin, buying items, friends finding items.
So here we are in WAR and so far the loot is just all over the place, I'm sportin some SICK SICK blue shoulders I found in RVR a Blue Sword I found in RVR and a blue chest I found in RVR, I found some set boots for Alan in RVR and Chibbi lucked out and found a purple.
That said I saw a level 10 sword master with a cape and a helmet and a NEW shield. So where the crap did he find those?
PQs? Luck? Guild reward? Instance?
The PQs seem to be static loot, but there is one PQ that I know of so far that gives blue bag loots, it's in Tier 1 High Elf land ending with a level 7 hero. I ran in at the right time and saved the day for a group of four but did not get the blue drop...since I ended wit a silver bronze medal and a not so decent roll.
I'm sure eventually people will map out which PQs give what depending on your class. But who wants to try and tackle that PQ tonight? I can easily tank it. I tanked it without a healer last night. Problem is the massive HP she has, she's hitting like a level 9 but has the HP of a level 15. 4 mins into the fight and the 3 Shadow Warriors and Sword master barely got her down 1/4 of her HP. Crazy hero boss.
Don't forget at level 12+ you start to get your Tier 2 renown gear. At level 16 you get your helmet. But like I said I've seen level 10s with capes and helms and stuff.
Anyways, I love how very random the good loot is which is good for a PvP game. Instead of doing instances over and over for a chance of a piece of equipment you can do PvP, PQs and instances for a shot at nice stuff.
Now if they would introduce unique looks for each piece...WoW definitely has that going for it, but at the same time you look like cock n balls till level 70 and then everyone ends up looking like one another anyways so in a sense it's almost like a "tiered" armor set look in the end.
WAR = Diablo 2 style tier system atleast when it somes to SM. I've seen Kendra change cloaks a few time for unique looks. Ironbreakers have a range of very different armors within Tier 1,2,3, etc, same for the CHosen. I think it's just the SM who got the shaft again (Forgiveable since they look so insane in T4/T5).
I prefer to level in the High elf zones although I've done chapter 4 PQs in the dwarf areas too, H Elf just looks cooool especially the armor Dark Knights. But each of the races PQs give different stuff so I'm definitely going to try them all out.
