Belt Ataru Royal Amarr Institute Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2013.06.17 11:43:00 - [1] - Quote Something i like in games where much of what you can do is fighting NPCs for loot is the (small) chance you have of having something rare dropped that's either a huge upgrade for you or something's that worth a lot of money. Does this exists in EVE? If I do missions or anomalies (for example) in high sec, is there a chance for loot to drop that is much more valuable than what I'm seeing on average (especially as a new player)?

If you go to lowsec you have sometimes chances of faction drops, they are pretty good money when you get them, you also get tags now that are also worth good money, but if you go to nullsec you also have some chances of an officer spawn, they are really hard to fight but depending on what he drops you could have something worth almost a billion isk But you do need to risk something and get out of highsec

Lilliana Stelles 776	Posted - 2013.06.17 12:02:00 - [4] - Quote Most of the "Jackpot" loot is found killing NPC pirates in nullsec; they occasionally give you officer or faction modules which are extremely rare and cannot be pirated. In any security status, deadspace (exploration) can drop deadspace loot or pirate blueprints, both of which are worth a great deal of money, but you won't find them from regular missions. The best you can hope for from regular missions are the occasional implants (Mining Foreman Mindlink, which is worth over a billion, for example, can drop from a specific mission), and a few specific overpriced meta-level 4 modules (high meta ice harvester upgrades and heavy missile launchers are two good examples) Incarna from 2009. 3 Years later and what we have doesn't look half as good as this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n41s1Iox18A

They drop only from faction rat spawns in low truesec systems. Deadspace modules: are faction modules that drop in Complexes. They generally have stats that exceed that of faction modules. There are 4 types (best to worst): X, A, B, and C. X-Type items are the best in the game, level with top officer. Officer modules: drop only from very rare officer ship spawns in belts. For some idea of value, Estamel's Modified Invulnerability Field (officer module) can be sold for over 20 billion isk.

gfldex 661	Posted - 2013.06.17 13:50:00 - [7] - Quote Yes. On a more serious note, a 10/10 complex can drop you 2.5B in one go. Officer drops in belts can go even higher. If you take all the sand out of the box, only the cat poo will remain.
Steve Ronuken Fuzzwork Enterprises 1526	Posted - 2013.06.17 14:03:00 - [8] - Quote All depends on what level of stuff you're looking for. In combat sites, and certain missions, as well as asteroid belts, you stand a chance to run into Faction NPCs. Such as a Shadow Serpentis Commander Frigate. Most of the time, you'll just get some better ammo, that's not worth a great deal more, or a module. Sometimes, however, a more valuable module will drop. Best drop I've had, in Highsec, was one worth around 180 million. Which was a lot for me, at the time it dropped.

Drexia Deteis Shitty Chicken Gang Bang 0	Posted - 2013.06.17 16:38:00 - [9] - Quote I saw a faction shield booster drop off a pvp killed mining barge last night that was worth 200 million. Some interesting stuff to be had when you pop an afk Mack ;)
Mildew Wolf 82	Posted - 2013.06.17 19:47:00 - [10] - Quote a few weeks ago i found a lg snake omega in a .8 belt rat spawn. 2 jumps out of jita. they go for around 400 mil. i dont think that is very common tho. the better drops are usually in the rarer spawns in more dangerous space
Kahega Amielden Rifterlings Point Blank Alliance 786	Posted - 2013.06.17 21:40:00 - [11] - Quote Most of the "jackpot" loot comes from the exploration system. The biggest example of this are combat complexes. These are in some ways similar to missions, but offer no standard payout or standings gain. Their difficulty is highly variable. At the end, a faction NPC may or may not spawn. If he spawns, he may or may not drop faction modules. These faction modules may be worth **, or they may be worth a silly amount of ISK. Some plexes may give you jack **, but to compensate others will give you hundreds of million or even billions of ISK worth of stuff.

It's somewhat irregular, yeah, but that's exactly what OP wants, apparently.

Very rare, I'd go null for better chance of good drops. Bored-á

It's somewhat irregular, yeah, but that's exactly what OP wants, apparently. I have to correct you there for a bit. When I go shopping in Jita, I usually work by moving to the region, buying remotely and moving by contract. On these travels I often jump into Anomaly class sites. Last week, I pulled an implant our of one with an EST of about 50 mil. I believe they are the same ones you can get from lowsec belt rats, but I'm not entirely sure. The point is a Faction rat may or may not spawn at the end of the anomaly even in Hisec, but I am not aware of their spawn ratio's and / or if they drop Faction gear too. Tip: Fit Sensor Boosters and a high alpha ship, use drones for the rat of every final wave. As soon as the Faction rat appears, lock it and time your shot well to recieve the final blow and thus, wreck ownership. Blue up intermediary wrecks to appear not this much of an asshat untill the Faction rat actually appears: people may think you are assisting them, but in the end you nab the real goodies.
Talemecus Valta Freemasons Corporation The East India Co. 136	Posted - 2013.06.19 11:06:00 - [18] - Quote I've have been fortunate enough to able to kill 2, faction rats in hi sec, a 0.5 system. Both times came out with faction modules and the more basic t1 modules. The second time I was even luckier, I had a faction snake implant in the wreck hold to loot, which I've still got. Like other posters have said, the bigger the risk the better the reward, so 6/10 sites will give you good loot, but 10/10 will give even better stuff. In short, you have to wait in hi sec while the really good stuff is in null, just waiting to be looted, right after you've destroyed the ships. Fly safe. Only 40 rounds per gun... I hate reloading in the middle! I'll make it through each day, Singing DEATH OR GLORY!!!! Hodor!

Does this exists in EVE? If I do missions or anomalies (for example) in high sec, is there a chance for loot to drop that is much more valuable than what I'm seeing on average (especially as a new player)? In null sec, and occasionally in low sec, you can find faction spawns in belts (and in anomolies). These can drop fairly valuable loot. There are faction spawns for most of the pirate npcs. "Shadow" serpentis, "True" Sansha, "Dread Gurista" etc. If you see one of these rats kill it and keep your fingers crossed. In Null sec there is also a rare chance of finding a named "officer" pirate npc. This will be a faction battleship with a name usually surrounded by 4 or so npc battleship rats. These guys hit hard and are very difficult to solo kill. When they die they can drop faction loot or they can drop officer named loot. These officer named loots can be worth billions. They dont always drop billions of isk worth of loot however. I have only heard of officers spawning in a belt or on a gate. I personally have killed three since I have been playing eve and I have never gotten a total loot drop worth more than 500 mil. Other guys I have known have gotten that Jackpot drop you were talking about worth 5-6 billion. One guy in my corp got 2 officers in the same system in delve and both dropped about 5 bil worth of loot. One of the ones I killed dropped no officer mods at all and the faction drops were crap. Its all variable.
