90% of the useful, powerful and/or unique items my toons have/use were not found, either.kellendril wrote:I apparently have a set of cursed "Gloves of Finding Anything Useful" in that I've played this server for years and have not been able to find anything I could actually use. I don't know how people can end up with millions in gold and 14 +4 swords of elemental damage +6, but it seems to happen.
The majority of Items were given to me by other Players. Next, are Items I bought at auction through amassing coin through selling items either given to me, that were useage-wise worthless and sold to the NPC merchants in masse, or sold to some Player that thought they were a good fit and were willing to pay lots for it. At the bottom are the Items that were DM rewards, not bottom in quality—they are some of the best—but the least that I have "collected" over the many years.
I can't but agree that the RIG doesn't produce good stuff. But then again, I rarely if ever loot Bosses, and from what I can tell, constantly fighting Bosses and looting their treasure is really the only way to make the RIG pay out.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: OOC relationships are the best payout for getting good stuff on BGTSCC.
