Ok, so if you have been on these boards the past month, you know the Sabotage mission. It can be done in about 5 mins and redone every 35 or so.

Most people get their folks the loot on normal and hard and move on. What most folks don't seem to know is that there is 1 more loot table. A loot table consisting of nearly all attuneable stuff.

On the sabotage mission for instance:

Bloodforged Greaves

Also, a +2 mana regen augs drops rarely.

From my experience, my theory is that this is the same for missions such as "Hides".

So, what I do is take 6 characters.. or 3.. or whatever you wanna take.. and make sure your average level is around 65. Don't have any that low? I take 3 70's and shroud my other 3 70s down to 60.

If I take three I leave my necro at 70 and shroud one to 65 and one to 60.

Try it out and I'm sure you'll like the results ;)

lmao, I must agree, I have kept track of how much plat I made off this mission. The total so far is about 4 million plat. What I do is 6 box it. 3 in one group, 3 in another. I take a shd with 2 shrouded down to 65, the other group my clr and 2 shrouded down to 65. I have been making a killing. I have gotten sometime 3-4 Voodoo Wands a day. I love this mission as much as you.
Good Luck everyone with the new Loot Table!!!
 
Very sweet. Especially since I got like 11pp to my toons name.
 
got the wand for my gf a while back and havent been able to figure out why it hasnt dropped again for me yet, now I have a clue. awesome.
 
Yes captboom, all missions are loot based on chr level. This works great btw, had allready geared up my toons with 70 loots as best i could and tried this yesterday for some sellable loots. Have a few items to sell now. Thanks for the idea.

It's early and I'm not quite awake yet, and I'm confused. What loot table is this, if not from the normal and hard versions? Do these come from chests? I'm either reading your words wrong or totally missing something.
 
At average group level of 69 or higher you get the normal drachnid exoskeloton or the earing. if its lower the loot changes to lower stuff. The point that hes geting at is that it is NOT no drop. Its attunable so now you can sell it in bazaar. This is nice will try it out tonight.
 
Yes, from what I saw there are actually 3 loot tables in the chest.

1st loot table is for approximately avg level 68+ on Hard.

2nd loot table is around 66 or 67 avg level on normal.

3rd loot table is avg level 65 and below for normal.

The really cool thing about this is that most people in the game doing this mission are going to only have the 1st two loot tables available to them because they are doing it with 70th level characters.

Only MQ2 user/Redguides Folks have been going through this mission enough to really pick up any patterns and the only folks who could pick up the attuneable pattern would be someone greedy enough like me to bring my level 60 folks in to get some gear and notice that it was attunable.

So, it is a very small portion of the population that will have noticed this feature.

And as I said, I haven't tried it on "Hides" yet, but I'm sure it will work there as well. If you get some stuff from there post it up please.

When I first started getting this loot last week, none of the loot was even listed on any sites. I believe they are still not listed at allakhazam. So, if you are the type of person who likes to see your name in lights, you may want to go submit them with screenshots to alla too as a bonus ;)
 
Calisar in stone root falls.

There's a write up from another player here called Sabotage!
 
Oh.. and another hint.

Once you have gotten the only no-drop piece (+2 mana regen aug) for your caster alts, I just leave all of my shrouded people in PoK and head to StoneRoot with my 2 DA classes.

Much easier to handle just two characters rather than 6.

Ok, so answer my question. Which loot table has the attuneables.
 
Well the other two loot tables are posted. The lowest level loot table has the attuneables.
 
Avg. Level 65 and below gets the attuneable table.. well, plus one no drop aug.

4 attuneables and a no drop aug in other words.
 
You cannot get Sabotage Hard with the low levels in the group. Hope this clears up any confusion.
 
For god sakes guys dont tell your friends :)

Edit : Reason why....95k in 5 minutes = nice

Edit2: And my server has no idea where its from :)
 
That was my point Moch.

The likelihood of ANYONE on your server knowing about this is almost nil.

The other big thing is.. every piece is either THE highest droppable HP/Mana piece in the game.. ot the second highest.

Boots, hat and legs are all second highest after attuneable drops from DoD names. The wand is the highest in the whole DataBase.

If you do a search for Necro > Primary > Mana > Not no drop.. the voodoo wand is tops on the list.

Warrior > Feet > HP > Not no drop... These boots are second.

Warrior > Legs > HP > Not no Drop... these legs are second.

Monk > Head > HP > Not no drop... This hat is second.

So.. basically the best droppable loot in the game can be had over and over every 35 mins or so.

I agree, keep this to yourselves. Farming like crazy now ;)
 
I kept it to myself for just over a week, but I just couldn't leave you folks out of it any longer. Unlike the other poster above, I have only made about 1 mil on this as I tend to sell low.

MEE -OW

Gonna try some tonight

8-)

Army,

Could you try it on Hides too? My 6 box group is still too wussy to do the skinwalkers in "Spies like Them" to get to "Hides you Seek".
 
Ok so could like a 66 and a couple 70's get the one with the attuneable loot table?

That's too high Hotter. Just shroud your 66 down to 60 and leave him in PoK.
 
If when you get the mission you only have the option for HARD, than you will only get hard, if you have the option of hard and regular, your group is still too high. If your only option is regular, than you have the right group mix.
Done this a few times now, and I got plat again :)
 
How much are you guys selling these for? I just sold the boots for 35k, needed some quick cash ;P
 
WHen I first started getting them the prices were a bit higher of course. I've settled at about 35K for legs, 30K for boots, 25K for hat and 150K for the wand.
 
I usually just go for the quick cash, helm 13 boots 15, legs 30, wand I sold for 160 last night . wish more of those dropped =)
 
That mana aug is shit common. 6 Missions 4 Augs, 1 wand , 1 pair of boots
 
I got 5 wands in a row once. Now I'm on like 8 boots in row. Real streaky.

I don't get the aug often though.
 
there nothing to try .. no chests drop on hides

yes you will get a lower end item for doing the quest.. and yes maybe i will try it for fun ...


but no sellable chest loots 8-(

army
