Hello friends,

I been having a really hard time collecting Tier 3 item armor drops (visable and Non visable). I have been killing named in T1 zone and T2 zones and I find its completely random.

Is there any specific camp or spot you can suggest where I can collect all items ? I don't or have not done any of the group missions and not good at boxing them.

Any help or advice would be appreciated

As you noted, they are indeed completely random. The same goes for missions. While they're not super rare in missions, they're not 100%, and what drops is random so getting what you need when you get down to the end of the list can prove difficult. It is what it is. Gear itemization in NoS is not the loot pinata it has been the past few years. The one thing I can say is the items that make crafted type 5 and 7 augs do seem to be quite common in the Mean Streets mission, so there's that. Good luck!
 
From my experience, you can get all visible drops from Eelworm in Darklight Caverns. You can pull the squid babies and the named on ground for easier killing.

Named spawn in both lakes in the zone from the overgrown Nematode, but from experience its easier to kill it in the water in the left bottom lake due to depth and you will most likely have no ground adds there.

In the below screenshot of the ingame map, I have marked 2 decent camps. The left most camp allows you to pull relatively safe and can get 2 Eeelworm PH and a Named Plant PH.

Named Plant drops wrist (Have not seen others), mask and a belt. Eeelworm drops all visible items, but I see more Chest than the other parts.

Everything is 100% random even to augs 7/8 augs out of firefall are complete random loot table, it makes up for people not perma camping 1 spot. however even mission runs are random for the NOS T3 loot. personally Gear out in T2 and filter the T3 as you receive it
 
In general, is the T2 gear worth investing in over the T3 group gear from ToL? Don't need super specific comparison, just a feel given how long it's going to take to get a full crew in T3 group gear.

I dont think its 100% random for nameds, but I agree that mission loot appears to be random pieces, having gotten both Chest lining, Rings, Ear, Belt and focuses.

Killed Rock Lobber 18 times and only got items listed in EQressource. Never saw a T3 item except for the listed Otherworldly Essence of Power.
 
Have seen 46 Otherworldly/Selenelion drops. Obviously not statistically significant but just some information.

Finished Hunter. Not many named outside of that except Merrimore in Paludal.
Run quite a few missions, no idea how many.

20 from chests.
1 from Firefall (Focus of Heroism)
1 from Shadeweaver's (Shield Enarmes)
2 from Shar Vahl (Amice & Arm Armor)
Rest from 13 different T2 nameds

Break-down:
  • Augs: 20 (43%)
  • Non-Visible: 15 (32%)
  • Visible: 9 (19%)
14 of the 46 (30%) being the two Focus augs is a big outlier.

I have noticed something else looking at the drops. Assuming this is known but I didn't find it commented on anywhere:

"Only" 20 Drops from Chests. However, there has been a 100% correlation so far of each mission dropping a specific type:
  • When One Door Closes: Non-Visibles
    • 32%: 25 runs, 8 drops
  • Under Siege: Visibles
    • 38%: 13 runs, 5 drops
  • Mean Streets: Focus of Fortitude/Heroism
    • 75%: 4 runs, 3 drops
  • The Spirit Fades: Essence of Power/Finesse
    • 33%: 12 runs, 4 drops

When One Door Closes: Non-Visibles
Rought estimate 90 runs, 8 chars decked out with non visibles with all items dropping of T2 lvl and 4 chars with T3.
About 15 kills of Eelworm in Darklight Caverns, 2 BP T3 so far

My next step will be to focus on: Under Siege for the visibles
Many thanks to @GoldenFrog

Again, haven't seen any info posted on this - but curious about what drops from what nameds.

Have been unoriginal and using one Paludal Named camp to work Cloak exp and named drops.

In 3 weeks have killed poor Merrimore Ychansk 65 times.

24% of those dropped an Otherworldly.
100% of those were Otherworldly Focus of Heroism or Fortitude

65 Kills
- 16 (24%) Otherworldly Drops
5 Otherworldly Focus of Heroism
11 Otherworldly Focus of Fortitude

& 2 Acolyte's Focus of the Selenelion

Unless that's extremely focused on my RNG, it strongly hints to me no other Otherworldly on her loot table.


20 other Otherworldly drops from other named. No apparent pattern per-zone or tier.
Visible, Non-Visible, etc... from all tiers and named varieties.

Going to pick on another named just to see, but if anyone has seen threads/answers I haven't seen or more info to provide, that would be helpful.

Continuing my spam on the subject - looks like every named is on one of four Otherworldly Loot Tables. Using first-hand, second-hand, and Magelo information, I haven't found anything to contradict this.
If this is of value and anyone cares to share confirmations or contradictions, it would be appreciated.

Confirmed that the "Focus of Heroism/Focus of Fortitude" can drop from any of the 4 missions.
 
It has been really hard to get Weapons T3 to drop.

Question is , if someone is unable to do the missions, Is it feasible or realistic to get items farming named ? I find them extremely rare and unpredictable drop rate.

I have been following some of the guides and even they are not accurate as to what named can drop

Outlined in a post above, but there are four "Drop Categories" that missions or named can be on. For weapons, the category is: "Finesse/Power/Range/Shield"
  • Essence of Power
    • Used to make 2 handed weapons
  • Essence of Finesse
    • Used to make 1 handed weapons
  • Range Otherworldly Item
    • Bow
    • Idol
  • Shield Otherworldly Item

To focus farming of these, either run "The Spirit Fades" mission, or camp one of the named in the grid above with that flag.
Such as Flail in Shadow Haven.

There isn't enough data to know, but I want to guess that T2 named drop these more often than T1.
 
There is so much good data here and I've been thinking about it a lot. I thought it would be nice to have a slightly different view of this to make is easier to quickly pick a hunt spot when filling in those last few slots! Let me know what you guys think of this:

Also, let me know if you notice any errors, or if you'd like me to post the editable table rather than the pretty picture.

All credit goes to the giants above me in this post whose shoulders I am standing on. :)

This is clearly much better than my bloated list above. I am camping the unknowns, as well as periodically asking others, to help identify their drops.

Will update my list above and let you know as they get filled in.

EDIT: @BobWeaver Missing on Chart Above:

Velutipes (Shadow Haven)Focus of Hero/Fort
Toraji (Shar Vahl)Visible

EDIT: @BobWeaver Commander Esline -> Essence
