Elite Armor Drop Pattern

DeZmonD88 · 08-28-2008, 02:15 PM

I'm trying to see if there's a pattern to how epic armor drops, so please post your drops in this format. Level 50 epic armor pieces that are part of the 7 piece set only please. Also list them in the order you got them.

Item dropped - Mode played - [Levels played] - Enemy or obelisk that dropped the item - Auto Salvage setting - Part of the Epic set equipped

Class: Cybernetic Champion
Loot Drop Chance: 15%

Helm - Mission Select - [1-1 to 1-3] - GRNDL-1 - Purple - Sword
Boots - Co-op solo - [1-1 to 1-3] - GRNDL-1 - Blue - Sword, Helm
Greaves - Co-op solo - [1-1 to 1-3] - GRNDL-1 - Blue - Sword, Helm, Boots
Chest - Mission Select - [1-1 to 1-3] - GRNDL-1 -Purple - None

I've seen alot of people mention that they get their Helm and boots off GRNDL in co-op solo and shoulder pads off leaders etc. I also noticed that alot of people get their helms first.

I'm curious to see if there actually is a pattern and whether some bosses/obelisks/leaders have a higher chance of dropping a certain item or whether all of this is just a coincidence.

I got my Beserker swords first doing Co-op alone with full loot drop % in the Ice Forest level off of a Troll.

Dstrukt · 08-28-2008, 03:40 PM

An interesting theory. I can affirm to the fact that I got my class' set helm and boots off GRND-L; boots first, helm second, both were done in co-op solo.

Yeah hall of heros, Helmet off a leader and my boots off the boss, Chest piece got it off Hel boss

Edit: Oh also when i got the boots and helmet I went to all secret areas and completed them all within the time.. so idk if that makes a different but its just what i did =0

DXO · 08-28-2008, 05:59 PM

I got my helm and gloves off GRNDL-1 and my chest piece off Stage 3 boss.

Weapon from Tyr's shop. Shame Human Commando set weapon is Slug , I like my Plasma.

Anyone know which 2 piece set (weapon/gun) has a plasma rifle for Human alignment?

Hayden · 08-28-2008, 06:03 PM

There really seams to be a pattern with Grendel as i read a few people on gamefaqs got epic drops of him.

So I did 4 co-op solo complete runs through of HoH as a human berserker with loot drop at 14%

I got the helm blueprint on my first time through and the boots on my 4th time through both from Grendel.

Powerman1469 · 08-28-2008, 06:07 PM

So maybe you have to play each level in the order they are and play it over and over till you get your "first" parts of your eilte set them maybe? Im running threw ice forest now gunna do it a couple of times see if anything drops, oh and i also have m loot drop chance (capped) out at 15%

yes i have the melee weapon of the plasma/ hammer set

DeZmonD88 · 08-28-2008, 07:43 PM

I've done about 10 HOH no deaths, co-op solo runs.

In the first 4, I got 3 epic armor pieces + a 2 handed sword.

On the subsequent 6, coupled together with an entire campaign, a few Helheim runs and 20 hours game time later, I haven't got anything and I'm starting to see red.

Reaper_Grim · 08-28-2008, 08:15 PM

I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to this game... The Elite armor pieces are what color? If i go back through HOH over and over again am I bound to pick up a couple? someone shine some light before that damn valkarie (sp) comes down to get me again.

Dstrukt · 08-28-2008, 08:18 PM

Elite items are red in colour and will have a unique name unlike everything else.

You can go through HoH over and over again (just make sure you start from 1-1) for elite drops. You will need to be Lv. 50 as well.

I have a question to ask everyone, Are you guys asking for Epic items which are orange or Elite items which are red? because I for one know what the names of the colored items are, but it seems like the internet doesn't.

I mean the last time I checked Too Human wasn't WoW and it even says in the achievement title - Complete a 7 piece Elite armor suit.

Keyword generally. Why confuse people when it can just be avoided.

its fun, and plus there are other threads with item colors so if they really wanted to know well they would go to them

I for one do. Since one set of items unlocks an achievement and others don't. One set of items may be more valuable than another, one set of gear have better stats and bonuses than others as well.

MaL · 08-29-2008, 01:57 AM

Class: Cyber Berserker
Loot Drop Chance: 15%

Helm - Co-op Solo - [1-1 to 1-3] - GRNDL-1 - Orange - 2 handed sword

Got the elite swords from an obelisk same playthrough

the set is red :P "elite", orange, purple, blue, and green
all you need to now is the colors and what color set unlocks the achievement red is best :]

I know that, but you have to know that some people are asking for specific things.

Can't just go thinking "What does it matter what we call items", some things are not what people are asking.

Elendanis · 08-29-2008, 03:03 AM

hmm you have a point, sorry ._.

but, i wonder if anyone has an official name for each type of color yet....

Thought this:

Gray = crap

Green = common

Blue = uncommon

Purple = rare

Orange = epic

Red = elite

not sure if this was the answer you were looking for but I hope it helps.

was it.

Though I kind of wonder why Elite is better than epic. But again, this isn't WoW.

Elendanis · 08-29-2008, 03:23 AM

oh thanks

people can use it now as apposed to listen to me saying how much it doesn't matter XD

MasterJon08 · 08-29-2008, 03:40 AM

You guys are lucky. I've done about 15 HOH runs and I've got nothing. Absolutely nothing. I've got 15% loot drop and everything I just don't seem to get anything.

I found the staff part of my set in the fourth level, though, although I could of just bought it.

I have my weapon that I traded for. I haven't found anything yet (armor wise - a few runes and charms though). I'm wondering if having reds equipped increases your chances...i'm guessing i won't find my first drop until i complete my tier 3 charm, but that could just be coincidence.

This may have just been luck, but I did about 6 HoH runs and didn't get a single red item. I put my auto salvage to orange and got my red weapon and helm on one run and I now get red charms/runes almost every run.

MasterJon08 · 08-29-2008, 04:12 AM

^ My auto salvage is on orange too and I still get absolutely nothing. I'm thinking about quitting this game I'm not having fun anymore.

Toph · 08-29-2008, 06:34 AM

I hear ya. I understand this should be difficult, but I have done 10 HoH runs without dying and I haven't even seen what a single piece of elite armor looks like. At least if I got 1 or 2 pieces I could have some hope, but I'm about to just quit. I've added around 7 hours running through these levels numerous times. I have tried different combinations and different levels just getting old now. I am a cyber beserker btw.
