Talk:JFR's Fundamentals to Looting/@comment-4703454-20130613081316

My advice about looting in my opinion is simply to not do it, the truth is that the best legendary is only about twice as powerful as the worst crude. Settling for a single high tier famed sword and gun is all you really need to do. Legendaries do not aide you as much as people say (refer to JFR's weapon damage guide).

I mean sure, seeing blue and red glittering your inventory is neat, but very few will get precisely what they want. For example back in 2010 when I started looting, I immediately got a Blade of the Abyss when I went to Tormenta to try it out. Just like that. Heck, I was probably one of the first people to get it. Like others however, I wasn't satisfied. One was simply not enough, how could I show this off to people when they all started getting ones of their own? So for the next few years I looted for another, always in Tormenta or the mines, and I've since found four Lost Swords of El Patron. The Lost Sword has the same probability of appearing as a legendary cursed blade does in those areas, so I could have five different legendaries right now.

But the thing is disney did not design looting to be fair, they probably didn't expect people to loot past one legendary at all. So anybody who's considering getting into looting, consider this warning. You could very well loot for months or even years to ultimately be unsatisfied.
