Drop chances for gear - Urgh.

Now, for masks, I can understand how that may be high. I spent a good couple of hours farming Jinn Mesca for his mask, and it felt good when I got it. But that guy is a miniboss in a set number of locations.

Trying to get the Warlord's shoulders, even farming those big armored guys all day - and I mean all day (please I invite the devs to check my play-time today) - not a single one has dropped. It's infuriating. Rusted, crapped out... whatever, I don't care, but something. Given the limited options of farming new gear (PvP only at the time of writing) please make the other parts you CAN get somewhat more accessible.

If you want to make something a rare drop for mobs, make it their weapons and mini-boss masks. I would rather grind for several days to get one of those (knowing it was possible) than trying to obtain them in PvP. Those things have use and feasibility. Clothing is changed hourly, depending. Weapons and masks are way more desirable, but impossible to obtain in the current PvE mode.

Seriously. It's hard enough farming moves. Don't make clothing the same arbitrary grind.

    Good drops are meant to be gotten from PvP. NPCs drop only worn out / torn version of their clothing

    Not sure that's entirely true - I've gotten a few 'in tact' items from NPCS - however it is VERY rare. Like... 2-4 items of the however many I have.

    Related - do the Marked Ones ever drop anything? I know Jinn does - I was lucky and got his mask last night. But the of the MOs, I've not seen a single drop.

    UPDATE: After googling I'm now less sure. Some seem to say drops are rare, and their MO specific gear is even more rare. I guess I'll just run around fighting them more and find out!

    I'd be okay with that. Lesser gear dropping would be fine, but at least let it drop. Right now, it's a grind that seems unreasonable for shoddy, broken down versions.

    i agree, other then that i suggest some rare loot based on the pve experience.
    i play pve a lot and i killed (solo or in company) thousands of those npc's, would be fair if the game says "hey you destroyed a small nation of npc's, here a mask those guys doing just pvp will never catch".
    it's frustrating when you end up story and you found all the gears to know there is no special reward to find (oh yes except that mask of the mesca guy)
    BTW, great game

    I also feel like there should be a prevention system that stops you from earning two of the same things in a row because today I just earned three desert cotton cloaks in a row, literally three of them, two of them were the same color

    I think if you get a duplicate it should get converted to some kind of currency you could later use when they implement shops. Furthermore, if you grab 2 or 3 pieces of the same kind of broken clothing, you should be able to combine them to make the clean version. You should also be able to do the opposite and break a clean version into two color variants of the broken version.
