Items and where they can be found!

[Happyandfree]

Hello everyone!

I´m pretty new to the game, but I played alot of other ARPG´s already and MMORPGs and the one things that is pretty annoying to deal with as a new player to this game is the lack of Information on WHERE certain items can be found.
I googled the official site, the fan sites and tried everything to find any information on WHERE certain items can be found. I never experienced this lack of Information in any of the other games and after 2 years I thought this game would have a solid database.

If you guys have a solid database that not only tells you the stats of a certain item, but also WHERE you can find that item, I would be happy for that Link to that website.
I like this game a lot, but the lack of Information is really annoying.

Thanks for every helpful person in advance :)

Only monster infrequents and boss specific items have a "Where" from what I understand.

Most anything can be found most anywhere in GD. With that said there is a WYSIWYG system in the game where mobs are prone to drop what they use. They can also occasionally spawn wearing Magic++++ gear etc and you can even see them wearing and using such against you if you are attentive.

Some mob types will also drop MI's(Monster Infrequents). These lesser variety tho aren't so "infrequent" and rather more common while certain Hero and Boss types will often have their own true MI's.

Due to the nature of the game in loot distribution it would be very hard/impossible to compile a true location database except in the case of the MI's I mentioned.

That´s the reason for my thread. I tried the official website, this one and many more without getting any information WHERE to farm certain items.

It´s nice that there are so many different Items, but when you created the database, it can´t be so hard to add the place where this item can be found. Like "Act 2 endboss" or "Trollboss on smugglers pass"
If you add the Item to your database, you might as well add where it can be found.

It´s already frustrating enough that you have to farm so much to get the set item you want, but when you don´t even know where to start farming????

Wrong.. most these Item DB's simply scan the game database with a program for item changes and update their own database. It would be ludicrous to then go back and find all items of such a type and manually type in locations etc. There are hundreds and hundreds of items.

Such an undertaking would be more in the realm of a game wiki and let the users provide the horsepower.

As I said in my 1st post, most anything can be found most anywhere. This is true in regards to set items.

I have no idea what you are trying to tell me with WIZZYWIG or whatever you wrote, but when someone is planing his character, checking the items for an optimal build and then can´t find any Note on where to find those items, that´s just frustrating.

I could start a new topic in the steam community for every Item I am searching, but I don´t like doing that, because it would spam the forum too much. However, with a relyable database, that wouldn´t even cross my mind.

WYSISWYG = What You See Is What You Get

In other words, mobs drop the items you see them wearing. Want a big 2hander? Kill mobs that you see using them.

I already outlined in my 2nd post why it is highly unlikely to get such a database. There is nothing else that can change this.

Let´s say you want the Maivens Sanctuary Set, then I´m sure, that you as experienced player do already have an idea on where to farm it for, like a lvl 25-34 character.
The lesser experienced people won´t have any idea where to find them, because there is just no Information to be found.

I don't know of anywhere that centralizes that info in a useful way. Maybe you could hint at what you're looking for and we can give you the details on those items? (If there are any details to give.)

Edit: low level sets are not reasonably farm-able with one character. You won't be low level anymore by the time you complete a set and the answer to where they can drop/be found is "anywhere with an area level higher than the item level."

This goes back to the WYSIWYG system. Kill Caster/Aetherial human types would potentially be a good place to start for a Maiven's Set. You could write a general location database potentially, outlining areas with the best odds, but it would by no means be an End All Be All type of situation as most items can still drop from most anywhere.

So you are saying, that if I want 2 really good rings, that I have to check the Fingers of the mobs to see what kind of rings they are wearing, so I can get the ring.
Or, that I have to check their Neck, to see which kind of Necklace they will drop etc.

Well I played quite some time already and when a horde of monsters runs at you, you don´t have time to check all of their Fingers for their rings and their necks for the necklaces you want.

I don´t see how that logic of yours would work for specific items.

That's taking the words I said and twisting them to be a bit more extreme (in regards to the smaller type of items). You will naturally be more likely to see them after they drop. I understand that you are anal and salty about this. I can only tell you how the game works and offer some general advice in that regard. This is how it works. I cannot change it. You cannot change it.

Don´t get me wrong, I do appreciate your help, but I don´t want to spam the forum with all the items, that I´m trying to find. That´s just bad behaviour and I´m not the kind of guy who spams what he wants in the forum.

I´m more the kind of guy, who searches the things he needs for his character without being a burden for others or relying too much at others. But that only works with a database :P

Sorry if that makes it complicated :)

[Ironman_Isomer]

Well, it seems even monster infrequent loot is completely random when it rolls... So Im not sure what kind of rings you are seeking but your best bet would be just to go out and kill a lot of stuff and loot rings... And thats the fun of it at least for me..

My current build, I have no idea what kind of loot Im gonna use, im just gonna play / explore and see what happens.

[Dyer1981]

POWBAM is correct. Items drop off most everything. I just got a legendary mace off a giant Wasp. *some* mobs can be farmed in order to get their 'infrequent' variety of green item that at times are better than the top-tier loot (in terms of rarity progression).

POWBAM's 'WYSIWYG' comment refered to the fact that you can see mobs utilizing certain items in advance if you pay attention. If they drop a legendary mace, they were using the mace.
