Doctor's Orders and Loot Midgets

[SalanMH3]

I have some questions regarding to Doctor's Orders and Loot Midgets:

I am currently level 40 running on TVHM mode and I have not accepted any side quest as I am saving them for 2.5.

I've reached the story mission where to go to Wildlife Exploitation Preserve:

1) Should I accept Doctor's Orders mission so I could farm Midgets along my path and farm legs? The quest says Level 40

2) If I have accepted the quest and then later I reched higher level (let's say level 50), and I want to do the run again, will the Midgets spawn with same level of mine or they will stay as level 40 (since I accepted the quest on that level)?

3) Will enemies on the same area also scale with my level later on or they will remain around level 40? Because I heard it is good also to farm Tuby if he spawn over there?


I know that I should not take any of the echo/slag devices during the run :P

Loot midgets are useless outside of getting bone of the ancients in shock, corrosive and fire. Just figure out what gear you need to start UVHM and farm THAT loot. No point in getting random ass legendary gear you don't need or won't use. The only exception is if you are going for loot that has no enemy with that drop assigned to them like a Quasar or something

The loot midgets' lvl is bound to the map's lvl, which in tvhm at the WEP everything is ~40. Accepting Doctor's orders at a different lvl wont make the midgets at a different lvl since they dont scale with anything at TVHM

Thanks and I just wanted to confirm this, I tried this run while at level 44 (TVHM), Midgets spawn with 44 level, but he drops a leg with 41 level, so lame

Yea well in nvhm and tvhm you should get legendaries while you proceed in the game, and not by farming. Not only the levels of the weapons arent promised to be your level, but you will still lvl up quite fast so the weapons will become insignificant after a short amount of time.
Only a few legendaries are set to be 'milestones', such as the harold and the bee. Anything else is pretty much expendable.

[Funny Rat]

Harold and Bee are milestones, LOL. A Harold maybe if you are Sal and want the easiest possible way to get through the game

41 seems a bit low, but the level for drops from most enemies, including LM's, can vary. If the LM's were 44, they could drop level 44 items, but the drops will often be 1 or 2 levels lower (3 seems a bit much, but maybe you just got extra unlucky). That's one of the problems with farming LM's - Under-leveled drops.

I don't know dude. During my run as Maya, one of the Loot WEE Loaders in the Wildlife Preserve dropped a Quasar during a re-visit.

What about a LWT loader?

[BlacKy #SlavaIsraelini]

LWT's are basically walking hyperion weapon chests, and these chests are low tiers, like the white weapon chests commonly found in bandit camps. Theres a rare chance u'll see a blue or higher, altho one LWT gave me a plasma caster once.

The loot midgets/loaders can drop all sorts of random legendaries and pearls. But the ultimate badass varkid definitely drops the quasar. Its not a guaranteed drop but its pretty frequent.

When farming for Vermi in the CSD they dropped so often I stopped picking them up.

[Funny Rat]

Ahh it does drop from Varkids, my bad I had no idea but the argument is still valid, pointless killing them just figure out what you want and farm it

Vermivorous CAN spawn within single player, but the chances are below 1%

But you miss something, that thing cant spawn in NVHM

[Funny Rat]

Pretty sure pure singleplayer (only you and no Master Gee/ Hyperius gate glitch) you can't get Vermi in TVHM either and the chance may as well be 0 in UVHM as well
