SCAVENGING???

[Stanbrook]

so the scavenging bonuses will become irrelevant with the new patch 1.1???

[W0Z]

Scavenging also affects the chance of exotic crafting materials in the open world scavenger boxes. with 150+ Scavenging you will get upwards of 25 exotic Fabric , Tools , Weapon Parts , Electronics if you do a map sweep. It doesn't take that long and if you're after only a certain material it's a lot faster and can be completed multiple times a day. I was of a similar opinion to you at first until I did some testing of the Scavenger boxes.

Edit : It's also possible they may tweak the stat so it alters the Quality of items that do drop, only a guess though.

1)
So it only affects open world boxes with tools , fabric and so on...... ?
2)
With scavenging More High Quality (yellow) division tech in Dark zone?
3)
It needs to be over 150% to work ?
3)
Better loot from bosses in DZ and open world with scavenging ?
4)
What means exotic fabric / tools .... ?
Better quality ?

The best I can get my scavenging right now is 23%. I have all gold gear, but most of it is junk... only two items have mod slots. And re-rolling gold gear is such a crap shoot. I was just farming Lexington and others trying to get more drops and PC so I could hopefully get some better pieces or at least afford them. Ended up crafting a better backpack and BAM, nailed by the lockout glitch. Ugh...

No, at the moment it affects your chance to get Yellow ( Exotic ) items as a drop, aswell as your chance to get Yellow ( Exotic ) crafting materials from scavenger boxes. In the next patch, level 30+ Bosses will drop Yellow ( Exotic) items 100% so the chance to get from drop is not relevant.

More chance to get, Yes.

To get the Numbers I mentioned, Yes

No, just a better chance to drop, see point 1 as to why this won't be relevant in the new patch.

Exotic = Yellow Quality

When you finally get back in game, purchase the i31 Stamina Kneepad Blueprint from the Base Vendor, you can get +25% Item & Credit find perk on those and 94% Scavenging as a Minor Attribute.

It's a good way to boost it until you get a mask to combo it, to get higher you'll need to find or craft mods with +Scavenging on.

So After Patch scavenging is mainly for getting yellow division tech ?
Yellow Items drop by 31+ bosses then

31+ bosses will drop yellow items 100% of the time.

Its main focus will become increased chance to get Crafting Materials & Div Tech from open world boxes. Unless they alter the stat to also affect Quality of Attribute rolls.

Mask, kneepads and kneepad talent all give you massive scav.
I run a mask with scav and one with combat stats. its like 24% or something on mask + 25%from knee talent+83% or something from kneepads. Never seen higher rolls that that though :/

Probably from lvl 30 HE gear. You can see the max by taking a 31 HE and select the minor attribute to reroll and see what the max it.

94 is the highest on i31 knees, I rolled it on mine. It's also worth noting that you can get a 3 mod slot chest, 2 on the mask and 1 on the knees, backpack & holster.

Edit: I also want to add that the 25% Credit & Item find talent is actually giving 40% to the Scavenging stat, now that could be for a few reasons. 1) The calculator's broken ( most likely ), 2) The description is wrong. or 3) I have a special / broken item.

I've had multiple items that report different stats to what they should when comparing the game calculator to my own during my play time, I've even had items that alter the stats of others & mods when equppied, unequipped, so 3 is also highly possible.

Yea, pretty sure scavenging only effects resource loot boxes like another said.; I too have noticed a remarkable increase in HE mats vs low scav when I open those boxes. As to loot, the only stat that seems to effect drops might be the 25% bonus that comes as a talent on kneepads.

I have run 15% (min) scav vs 165% scav on 100s of loot runs and I see absolutely no difference in HE drop rates so I doubt it effects mob drops at all. But this is moot on the 12th so no need to carry around that stat no more soon. :)

I wouldn't discard the stat that fast, 100% drops doesn't mean 100% mod drops ( Tools / Electronics ), as it stands now the ratio of Armour drops compared to Mods is huge, that's not changing so you'll be swimming in fabric even more than you are now.

Scavenging will still be a reliable way to get high end specific materials that are otherwise sparse in a shorter amount of time.

Also note that scavenging doesn't have an effect on the chance to get items, it increases the chance of that item being of a higher quality ( Green > Blue > Yellow ) everyone rolls to see if they will get an item, if it's a yes then the Scavenging stat is taken into account to see if you get a higher quality ( better Colour ) Item.

This is the first time someone's explained it like you have. Are you sure this is correct, could you source your findings becuase I've heard different.

Heh , I knew someone would ask me this, it was stated by the Devs to clear up the confusion. I'm trying to find it, I'll update this post with a link when I find it. :)
