I don't think they reflect the ease of access at all. Getting 13 green gems is not worth the effort to climb to a drop. You get better stuff on the other maps and it's easier to access because of the flyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's practically a waste of time, you get nothing you really need. If you are very very lucky you may get a primitive climbing pick blueprint. But your time is better spend progressing to the surface to get the worthwhile drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivar Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 We gave up with drops that aren't on the surface. Only drops we go for now are yellow and red ones on the surface during the long nights with rock drakes. Everything else is simply not worth the effort anymore.

ZyraSeedling Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Am I missing something? Why are you all surprised the drops in the common areas of the map are usually unimpressive? You want real drops you need to hit up the surface or the actual cave areas (You know... the 3 caves on the map). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get drops all day long on the surface and 95% of the time it's only apprentice / journeyman. And that's a solid fact. This is an official server.

You miss the useful stuff you can get from the easy drops on the other maps. Even white drops can have torch blueprints, which are useful. You can get metal tool blueprints in the common drops on the other maps, you can't in Aberration. The cavern drops are completely pointless. There is absolutely nothing in them you can need.

banggugyangu Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 My personal favorite drop was right after aberration launch and contained a journeyman pteranodon saddle BP. Just a good switch kick to the children.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilill3ddeath Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Aberration has a 7 tier drop rate. This is new to most you have 1 green zone drops 2 blue zone drops 3 pink zone drops 4 green zone artifact cave zone 5 blue zone artifact cave zone 6 surface drops 7 pink zone cave drops each zone has different tiers in its self ( Coker coded like normal but where is important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmberStar Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 1 hour ago, DeweyDecimal said: I'm constantly throwing glowsticks. At trees, rocks, wild dinos, other players... Everything glows The "easy" loot beacons are, to put it bluntly, garbage. It's not a question of "rolling up your sleeves and doing the work." Even purple boxes are likely to be... a Paracer saddle. Not even a platform saddle, just a saddle. Anything but the actual Artifact Cave Beacons or Surface Drops is around the same level as the Medium Crop Plot BP / Water Jar BP drops that *still* plague The Island. Most of the time you get junk that's either useless, or in such small quantities that it's effectively useless. (Green gems are used for a lot of stuff. 15 green gems wouldn't even make decent slingshot ammo, let alone be enough to craft anything. I've lucked out and gotten more than that in random earthquakes, and those happen *constantly* and you don't even need to look for them.) In singleplayer, the standard box beacons are basically useless. They don't even function as mobile upload terminals for sending spare bulbdogs to my saves on other maps, because that function is disabled in Singleplayer. Yes, the normal loot boxes can be easy to get to. The stuff they drop *still* isn't worth the effort of walking over and opening them most of the time.

JZhong Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Can't complain anymore since I just looted asc megalo saddle bp and mc climbing pick bp... but it takes a bit patience throwing away thousands of chitin bp and carbonemy bps.. maybe it's because you are advanced enough to only use rockdrake hazmat suit so only looking for those. I was happy enough o get a high dura apprent. quality hazmat piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonLadie Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Do you really think island drops are better ?? today i got from a red lootcrate a sword/grey/primitive ,yesterday from a yellow lootcrate on top of the volcano a pair of chitin boots green , i mean the drops suck everywhere the best we got out of it is an apprentice sword and that only once.

RoyHess666 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Overall the Aberration Supply Beacons are 99% completely useless crap, white to purple. Sometimes one can find something useful (such as a AP or MC metal shield), but this happens _WAAAAY_ less often than on TheIsland, TheCenter, Ragnarok, ScorchedEarth. Leads me of thinking that the loot table for Aberration Supply Beacons that are _NOT_ on the surface _OR_ artifact caves - is broken - a lot. Studio Wildcard needs to fix that. Properly.

The surface is the best way to get stuff, i farmed it with a crab before the reaper buff, but now its not really hard too, you only need a drake with 2-3k stamina. Go in a camo mode so the reapers dont spawn, stand near the drop and dismount, pick up the drop and get back at the drake than fly away. When you dismount, reapers will spawn, but they will roar first so you will have like 3-4 sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
