Only good when you use it for special events like wf or forgotten event (since bows are only good)

You can still get pinks but if you think about it the elixir can actually decrease the chances of a pink. Say if a pink that need 150 dexterity is about to pop up gets replaced by a grey that needs 10 strength.

Classy items is done to make you drop items FROM YOUR CLASS, as "classy" evoques..

The "Classy elixir's" purpose is to make items drop specifically FOR YOUR CLASS

So if I am a warrior with 200 INT I couldn't loot a staff?

P.S. I fixed your grammar (The bold)

I think a dev said it drops according to your most dominant stat.

So say my warrior was a dex bear and had 150 str, 200 dex. (arbitrary numbers)

I'm pretty sure dex items would drop, while under a Classy Looter buff.

Indeed:



New Elixir! When the "Classy Looter" elixir is in-effect, all loot that drops for you will be for your character class (or for your preferred statistic)!


Tbh I have never used this elixir; I play all classes so I can always use the drop on another toon. And even if I had only one toon, I could always sell the item to buy what I need ;)

I understand that it could be useful. How? E.g. you are farming Emma and you want the Sanguine Longbow, right? No robes, staffs etc that she also drops. So you use "classy looter" (however, this does not guarantee that you get Sanguine and not Vampyr longbow hehe - you might also get a dagger!).

But what happens if you have a full int mage and you want to farm the longbow? Also, for most bears dex > str, but they use str gear. How are they going to farm str items? Useless.

I think the best (and obvious) option would be to let the user choose their preferred statistic immediatelly after the purchase. Unless they changed it and it works like this now? If this is the case let me know please :)

It doesn't drop what class you are, nor only what your highest stat is. it will drop what you can use. For example, when forgotten items had no base requirement, I would receive staffs, bows, and swords while playing my bird.

You are probably right sue. Actually, the store description is in line with what you say ("make every item drop tailor-made for your character").

So is the official statement I quoted above not valid? Is there newer official information on this matter? I searched but could not find anything.

In order to farm the longbow, the best thing to do would be to have the classy (and anything that gives you a reroll) but put that on a pure dex toon of any class, then pray to the gods of random.

In the case of the duel bear, he could loot anything he meets the requirements of, so if you wanted to farm only st, then put the classy on a pure st farmer.

I don't believe that this is how it works, I can look for quote later, but you don't roll down so to speak.

Even if this was true... You could re roll a grey that requires 10 dexterity into a pink that requires 150 strength. It would go both ways, so it wouldnt decrease chances of a pink.

I hope that was legible, Ive been studying up on Noobish and I think Im getting pretty good. Almost fluent.

Note that Longbow was just an example... not valuable any more anyway... ;) Oh and to be fair I got it twice during Fang cap, so this is not a *boohoo-I am-so-unlucky* post lol.

I appreciate your suggestions (and they are correct), but there are technical issues: e.g. any full str character is very bad for farming, due to low hit%. Doubt that any team would farm with a full str toon. And most importantly do I need an army of farming toons (or respec all the time) to farm for specific items on top of paying 60 plat/hour for this elixir?

So the question/suggestion is this: classy loot is supposed to make things easier, that's why it costs 60 plat. Why not let me choose the stat I want when I buy it. I think this is resonable :)

Not sure how many people agree and how difficult it is to implement. An easy way to do it would be to have one classy looter elixir for each class, there you go. Then, if someone wanted to farm, e.g. dex stuff, they could use Classy Looter - Dex version.

Ok "pure st farmer" was a bad example. Make it a farming toon with too little dex to meet dex requirements on equipment at that lev.
I would like your idea tho, havin the lix be stat specific for us, but I have been able to work around it so far.

Getting pink drops is never easy & very unpredictable. I'm still not sure about how great this "Classy" looter works, its pretty expensive for an add-on elixer. I was happy the last time I used it though, I had dropped a Black Dragon Mage armor on Shamrock elixer alone & then wanted the helm to go with it.

So I paired Shamrock plus Classy looter (not cheap!! 80 plat Sham + 60 Classy equals 140 plat for 60 mins...premium run!) to up my odds of dropping a Black Dragon int helm or another armor in the Blacksmoke Mountain Fire Forest..That way I don't get dex stuff or bear pinks. It actually worked! Was shocked but I was really happy about that. I don't say it always works right away but when it does, it's really nice.

Even if this was true... You could re roll a grey that requires 10 dexterity into a pink that requires 150 strength. It would go both ways, so it wouldnt decrease chances of a pink.

Say if on a random run there was an average of 2% of a drop per pink. There is one dex drop, one str drop, and one int drop. That is a total of 6% for a pink. If you have an int character then that would drop the percentage back to 2%. I do see your point. Mine is just a theory so you could be right.

It probably wasn't.

The only time it ever was useful to me was in the Forgotten dungeon. I would get a shamus plus the classy lotter elixer and then every single drop would be a pink bow. The other players were like WTF!! Just to have fun with it I would yell "pink bow!!" every time right before we killed Fragx and then there would be a pink bow for me. It was pretty funny. But on most other maps I can hardly see a use for this elixer. If you get a pink item for another class instead, just sell or trade it for the one you want. If it cost 10 plat then maybe it would be worth it. But considering it costs 60, you can get 3 shamus elixers for the same price and would do much better.

@ Melancholy-
IF ther was a 2% chance of pink, the fact that you had an int based character would NOT alter the drop rate up or down. if that were true then tri stat toons would get more pinks than others statistically

It would actually be usefull if all new players started with one, cuz since you basically use every new drop you get till about level 20 or so
