WTF is a Raider?

Did a D4 dungeon crawl in MM on my 35 (now 36). Couple of major motes and a handful of others for completing the crawl, plus a few motes just from drops. A good haul but nothing spectacular. Also got maybe 6 pieces of armor and weapons, only 1 of which was actually useable on my character (and that 1 was a downgrade).
So if you were hoping for some awesome personal loot, dungeon crawls probably ain't it.

It's looking like, for dungeons in your level range at least, 3ish motes 1 level higher than your difficulty (major for D4) plus some additional zone loot. It appears the bonus loot is fixed and has nothing to do with zone size, number of named, or anything like that. A 10 minute befallen or unrest, 3 motes. Clearing both live and dead lguk, 3 motes.

It's probably decent for anyone running an old dungeon for nostalgia but the problem is the vanilla dungeons have too big a level range. Having to kill greys at the start of a zone or out of the way named just to get the completion rewards will end up being slower than farming level appropriate camps on a respawning instance. Anyone who can kill the end named in a dungeon and thus be eligible for the bonus loot will find the first half of the zone trivial with small chance for natural mote drops.

Are the loot rewards just random drops from each dungeon or new never before seen items?

Everything I've seen is just a handful of additional drops from anything on that zone's loot table. Could be boss drops could just be fine steel type junk. Plus some plat and bonus xp and the afore mentioned 3'ish motes. Haven't seen or heard of anything new. Might be ok for planes and getting extra shots at useable end game gear but befallen bonus is just going to be another baron's blade or something like that.

Went from 18-19 in Unrest to 22. Did it on D4 and got 4-5 major motes as the reward. I also got a bunch to drop while clearing, as well as some level 5 and 6 motes. The "drop" rewards I got at the end were all loot from Unrest.

This was my preferred way to play already, so I'm really happy with this update. LGuk and SolA would suck because they'll probably make me kill live side stuff and the clockworks...and I don't really want to take the faction hits, so I'll have to see about those when I get this new combination up to those levels.

Not my result:

Plane of Hate dungeon crawl. 2-2.5 hours. D4.

11 +5 motes, 2 +6 motes, 1 +7 mote

In addition to 23 +5 motes and 2 +6 motes for the normal mob clears. took 1 hour 56 minutes ( had a couple of short breaks in there to pee and grab a drink). So roughly 20 motes/hr solo

It’s a straight upgrade if you are gonna do D4 pofear, since you don’t have to do anything different from what you normally do

I might try that in a bit to finish up my character. Seems like it would be faster and easier than Hate.
