Accessories As Mob Drops - 19 Supporters

There's probably a reason why this doesn't exist, but I'll put it here anyway.
It's as simple as the title says, make trinkets droppable by mobs. It could be rarer than weapons and armor.
Example:
Chance of getting unique accessory = chance of getting rare weapon and armor
Rare Acc. = Legendary weapon/armor
Legendary Acc. = about 1/4 the chance of legendary weapon/armor.

If this is to stop certain trinkets from being acquired easily, some could be loot chest only.

 

Makes sense to me. +1!

 

I never knew you can't get it from mobs XD

 

It kinda does make sense, but if this was true, why wasn't it made this way in the first place? The Dev's had a choice, and chose to make it only go in chests.

 

It was probably done to encourage players to open Loot Chests or to have the Loot Chests serve more of a purpose by having Accessories unobtainable through other methods (besides Quests.)

 

Bumperino !

 

The point of making accessories loot chest exclusive was to encourage players to hunt for and find high-tiered loot chests. Overall this would encourage exploration. I don't think this unspoken rule of accessories will ever change.

 

*Checks player stats* *Sees 100% loot bonus* *Kills a zombie* *20 rings later*

 

Unless you nake them drop from a specific mob in an area just as hard to get to as lootchests. Like the Death Oni

 

We probably could do that in some cases but we also want to encourage players to look in loot chests once in a while. If accessories weren't loot chest exclusive it'd be kind of pointless to go out of your way to take the chance to get gear you'll probably get by fighting mobs anyways.

 

I think it is way easier to get items you need from loot chests and I don't think making it so you could get trinkets from mobs would ruin anything because you can get more loot from loot runs in my opinion, I got 5 mythics in 3 months from grinding and 2 in 3 weeks from looting chests, but that could have been unusual luck.

Don't some drop from mobs?

 

Not to my knowledge, and if they do it's probably a bug.

 

The problem with this is that a lot of lv 3/4 chests are based on the user's level. This means if someone is a lv 75, for example, it's impossible for them to get lv 10 accessories ever, they will only get accessories around their level. And I don't think anyone is going to hunt every T1 possible, especially when loot bonus doesn't affect chests. If it's going to be this way more low-levelled tier 3/4 chests need to be added or the chsnce of finding accessories in chests needs to be higher.

 

Actually a loot chest's loot is based on the level of nearby mobs.

 

Sorry but I don't think that is right, the loot chest in the cannibal cave in dernal jungle has a lv 60 mob near it yet I consistently get things near my level. When I was lv 80 I was getting squid anklets and such and now that I'm lv 90 I'm getting snail helmets. Same goes for the detlas suburb, the ice canyons, and the rodoroc ones. Although some chests (eg the mines chest or the one near cinfras) have a set level, that isn't always true.

 

That's weird, the tier might also be a factor in this, or maybe there's some kind of bug. There's no way to modify a chest so that the level of loot is set.

 

I've classified them as Player and Area chests, based on the level of their respective type. Tier clearly doesn't matter as some T4s are Player Chests and some are Area Chests. Don't fix it if it is a bug though, I feel as though it makes exploring older areas more relevant.
