Item diversity (retry)

Cannot see my old thread, looks like it lost its way when I edited… Anyway to reiterate:

Shard’s been up a pretty good while by now, and with the amount of bosses my mates and I have killed I think we can start to make pretty safe assumptions of the rarity of some type of items and modifiers etc.

What we have seen so far that seems to be at a good rarity level imo:
– Higher level prots. Not common by any means but they do exist which is nice 🙂

– GM armors, same here. Still no shields though, but since they are not super crucial I don’t mind.

– GM weps. Sure you mostly get the ones you don’t have any use for, but that’s how it should be 😉

– Poisoned weps. These are pretty common, and we’ve seen e bunch of lv6 weps. Lv6 psn on the other hand is pretty bad, ticking at 25 hp, so none of them see much use. We even had a lv6 psn vanq wep in a few weeks, which would be ridiculous if lv6 psn was any good.

– Mage/bard books.

– Stat mods on jewels. Also nice to see that higher level mods drop and not just the lowest tiers. Especially on jewels since they need to be quite high to be worth the jewel slot.

Some items seem very rare though or non-existing so far:
– Stat mods on clothing. I mean sure these are pretty good, and should probably be rare as well. But when you find stat mod clothes it’s a hat or boots 90% of the time. In my opinion stat mods on clothing might be a little bit too good to be this rare, but opinions may very well vary 🙂

– Bloody weapons. We had a couple drop the first week with lower tier dmg mods on, since then we’ve seen 0, which is a bit odd. Maybe we used up all our luck back then 🙂 With how hard some bosses hit even spec 5 wars with lv6 melee prot these would be nice to see a bit more frequently.

– Elemental fury weps. Are these even in the loot? Usually it takes a good bunch of them before you find a usable one, and so far in a little over 1 month very active hunting we have seen 0 EF weps. Not even the mandatory 2-handed axe with 4% cast chance.

– Blackrock weps. Another one that so far has shown up a total of 0 times. And I’m not talking in a few dungeon clears either, I think between us me and my mates have killed thousands of bosses and world bosses.

– Void weps. I don’t really know what this mod does tbh, but since it is pretty similar to the previously mentioned two mods I suspect it has a similarly low chance of dropping.

We have also been sensing an increase of really low mods recently. Killing a world boss and seeing a bunch of apprentice/expert stuff and nothing even remotely useful. I suspect that this is due to the high amount of bosses killed together with the increased level of items needed to be useful though, but just a side-note.
