https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/459774-Downtime-Notice-7-00-AM-11-00-A... Quote:There's a lot of different loot that drops in a lot of different places in TOEE. The distribution is a bit different than a lot of other dungeons in DDO.
For the upgradeable Elemental Weapons, those are found in each dungeon's End Chest, in Random Encounter chests, and the Arc Reward List (when you complete both dungeons). If you've been playing TOEE, you've probably seen a lot of these so far. The drop rate for each kind of weapon is roughly equal. If you're looking for one of a particular element, you may want to search Random Encounters in the particular Node for that element.
For the upgradeable Elemental Armors, you'll want to search Random Encounters in the Elemental Nodes of Part 2.
For the Mythic Named Weapons, they can be found in Random Encounters within the Temple (but not inside the Nodes, I believe) as well as the end chests for either part - However, your odds are much higher on Random Encounter chests than the end chests.
The Mushroom Cap is the only item unique to the End Chest of Part 2.
(Additionally, +6 to +7 Upgrade Tomes can only be found in the End Chests for either Part 1 or Part 2).
With this patch, we've raised the rate at which Rare Encounters (i.e. those with chests) show up in the Temple. You should be seeing chests more often, and thus have more chances at pulling that loot from the chests where they're most likely to drop.
I'm not running this content.
Has anyone noticed if they have nerfed the persistent TOEE buffs?
There is no way that they would let a major exploit like that get past. Can you imagine the havoc?
