Everquest Legends

The Risk vs Reward on this server is rather fucked due to the mechanics and revamp loot. I just soloed D4 fire giants and got the 2h. This required FD splitting every single giant. The Befallen sword took me two hours at level 31 to make (admittedly that was lucky)

edit: the befallen sword also has 14 strength on it which I stupidly cropped out so the gap is narrower than it looks

The loot layout is all fucked up because of the three revamped dungeons. Befallen gear rivals planar gear which is fucking dumb.

I believe the intend to revamp most/if not all zones. I think Permafrost is next on the list which should be cool since there is a billion rares in there.

I'm guessing part of their revamp reasoning is some form of high level dungeon versions of traditional dungeons (a la Mythic/Heroic) for people to run eventually.

Spreading the loot out also mitigates (to some degree) the monotonous slog of a narrow focus level path. When you have some zones that are simply leagues ahead of others (LGuk) in traditional loot, it just means everyone goes to LGuk and everything else is ignored. I wouldn't mind poking around places that have been typically avoided due to poor / nonexistent loot tables.

People are already soloing dragons at level 41. If they keep adding loot like Befallen in the later dungeons then power creep is going to be nuts. I think they should have just filled some gaps at lower levels, increased drop rates of old gear and put some better stats on them instead of just wholesale obsoleting all of the old game's gear. Why are there 3 new 2h slash weapons in Befallen that make the BBC complete garbage? Why not just buff the BBC if they think old gear is not good enough? Befallen was already known for having a good 2h drop. The irony is the BBC room is even harder to clear than the other three locations.
