Was rare green unique boss drops removed/turned off?

nibs

Been farming for days, can't get a piece of gear i want, was ALL green unique gear boss drops turned off for mod 21?. I understand turning off the removed zones, but not the available ones. Been farming for days for one piece, wanted it for over a year but had to find exactly who dropped it as information in scarce ion the web. However i found where it drops , but after killing the mini boss over 200 hundred times, no drop... is my luck bad or were unique green boss drops turned off

If you are talking about leveling zone lair bosses, sadly the answer is yes. Mod 21 was the fashion apocalypse. None of the old items like Ice Armor, Spider Armor, etc... drop now.

wow, why, it's an mmo rpg, i want to hunt for rare items, i want to find secret transmutes randomly that Cryptic put in the game and didn't report on it, makes even more fun. PEOPLE LOVE THEIR CHARACTER CREATION. I mean why remove stuff that doesn't need to be removed. This is a bad move, anyone that says otherwise hasn't got a clue about how important to a game like this hunting for rare gear is, and no, new gear does not count, it's not secret, it's expected from chests etc. So i will never have or know what the Serpents Hood for Rogue looked like or the other bits i wanted to get. I was even buying the Ebon down cache when they turn up on the AH, Im guessing they even switched it off for that to drop unique gear ...

They said they just "turned it off" and that they could turn it on again or something and that the items still exist. You know games like borderlands or Divinity original sin and other games where hunting for unique gear adds so much to the game and it's enjoyment, especially for bragging rights if you find a piece of gear that no one knows about, trash stats but it's about the unique item. I want to run through an area and see a strange npc/foe and think "hang on, that's a weird out of place foe i've never seen before?" kill it and it drops a transmute!, random stuff like that. The game has been going in the right direction the past year with good changes, and adding/hiding lots of old/new transmutes in all zones in random areas(class specific gear or go one further even add class PATH specific gear for transmautes) and not add it all in end game dungeons lol, that'll be the dumber than turning it all off, i mean all zones, early zones, early dungeons etc, a random small foe spawns somewhere no one thinks to go but one day you go exploring in an old zone and you see an out of place foe, kill it, and you get something for it. rare spawns etc.

I saw a random npc with a unique name "Groomblood" or something, he should drop a unique piece of low gear for transmute and not always spawn, super rare spawn etc. Oh well, major bummer lol. Thanks for letting me know and saving me lots of time, i guess back to basic queues and nothing secret to discover.

Whe they announced what they were doing, I made my own plans. While my friends ground out HVOS, I sent a legion of alts through the leveling zones. Mod 21 was such a colossal waste.

Don't suppose you got a "Serpents Hood" for Rogue i can trade for?. Well they have said the items still exist and so can come back.

Remember when each class had it's on unique short quest line with unique gear, that was so cool. I want that to come back, and go one further add another for your classes chosen path, with specific drops for both your class AND your path.

I wish there where lots secrets in this game also for when you're randomly adventuring for all zones, low level and high level, but there isn't, it's all there for all to see. Im not talking about the main gear, of course we need to see and know about that, but transmutes and stuff that are more cosmetic, maybe a super hidden mount that drops from a goblin that spawns in ebon down in the corner of a map lol, stuff like that cattered about the entire game, in and out of dungeons, and don't announced it Cryptic just stealth install it for those who adventure discover. I went back to Reclamation rock a few times and done the HE thinking maybe there's something in the drops people forgot about, but no, nothing at all. I sometimes go to old areas and off the beaten path thinking maybe there's an npc people forgot about and i kill it and get unique transmute gear, but no, the game has no secrets, no discoveries.

The Hood was bind on pickup so even if I had one it wouldn't be possible to trade it.



It may be possible to get the same appearance with a different item. I don't think this does justice to the name though.

Oh man thank you!! i've been so curious about this hood for over a year lol. No the name does not do it justice, but it still looks cool. I don't feel as bummed about not being able to get it now. Is there any unique Rogue drop transmutes you got that you think look dope?. I'd love to see any in your appearance library that you rate. Also do you know if the ebon down cache still drop these?, i bought a load and now might stick them back on the AH myself.

I suspect it's because now they sometimes award various Fashion in Dungeons (at times) as Transmutes, yet at Legendary... Your more likely to see them however during Dungeon Delvers event that can run once every 2-3m (depending) what else is going on.



Temple of Spider for the Lifesilk Spinneret as an example, Lair of Mad Mage can give Garb of the Ascended, and both might also award Bluefire/Draconic/Fated/Turmian/etc as well as some others; or purchased on Auction House: (if everyone hasn't bought all)

♥ Historian's Regalia,
♦ Many Arrows Bloodied Armor,
♦ Lifesilk Spinneret,
♦ Deepknights Brigandine,
♥ Garb of the Ascended,
♦ Psion's Shroud,
♦ Zulkir's Dreadnought,
♦ Armor of Insanity

Note: The “White Heart” is undying pure love. The very valuable truth of our existence. The ultimate degree of mutuality and humility of kindness and love. The blue diamond is also known as the Hope Diamond because it is said to bring good fortune and happiness when worn by its owner.

Old Class Main Hands / Offhand's too:
Controller's Arcanist Orb/Cleric's Exalted Symbol/Paladin's Blessed Mace/etc...,
-
These are Missing from Level-Up Experience though:
Devoted Armor/Controller Armor/Guardian Armor/etc...

Note: They originally limited this to the first classes introduced though.

Yes their are several others as well, they sometimes take other older armors out, and some I'd still like to see as shown (above) yet you can earn also some Main/Offhand Weapons Transmutes too
:
Bluefire Bow/Bluefire Battleaxe/etc...,
Draconic Rapier/etc...,
Fated Pact Blade/etc...,
Turmian Longbow/etc...,

This list is always isn't complete as this is just to give everyone an idea, when something is removed usually with 3-9 months it later returns, usually as a transmute (legendary) option... ...yet not always as the ask here:

Still your best chance to earn the stuff that is available is during Dungeon Delver's!

Good Luck!

Follow up to above: The old Class Level-Up Armor's that were Green, you used to get at PE market for Silver & Gold, no longer can though.

Hope that helps some... ...still be nice to see this list expanded for sure!
