Question about quest POI loot

[Thaledwyn]

Hi,

 

does the loot during quest POIs depend on character level or not?

 

Because we are at around character level 30 (day 25) and did tier 1 quests from another trader we were sent to.

The loot inside this tier 1 POI felt like it was from a fresh new game: 1 bone, 1 paper... nothing of interest, really cheap loot.

 

Please confirm.

depends what biome and lootstage, but they adjusted the lootstage tiers in the latest alpha, could be totally possible.

tier 1 POI loot is also usually nothing to write home about

Lootstage is dependent on character progression, yes, but also dependent on the looted block (safes and lockboxes have a small bonus of their own), the POI tier, and the Biome. So if you had been looting Tier 2 or 3 biomes and went back to Tier 1, your lootstage dropped (the very top of loot.xml has the modifiers by tier). If you had been looting in snow biome, but the new trader and POI were in the forest, your lootstage would drop also (biomes.xml).

 

You can see your lootstage by pressing F1, typing "dm"<enter>, hit Esc and then F3. Lootstage is listed at the bottom and you can see it change as you walk onto POIs or change biomes (no way to see the container-specific modifiers though; they're in blocks.xml).

Pretty sure you can also see it in the character menu.  Hit B, go to the tab that looks like a bar graph, it's down at the bottom.

Of course! Sorry I've been doing a lot of messing around with looting for a mod and I am always using F3 so I can walk around and see changes.
