Ok where is the set bonus?

The no epics for anyone under 40 defeats the purpose of doing anything other than grinding once again. Now it becomes more redundant than running Sy2 a billion times. If I'm not going to pick up pieces I need as I level, then why bother doing more than one area?

It seems quite pointless IMO. If your 40 you should get drops for 40. If your below. You should still get drops for your level up to 40. What's the problem with having loot dispersed this way?

And why does SL not have a pack to purchase access to Christmas map till it is over like in PL? We have to pay plat every single run. I've done almost 10 so far and not had a legendary piece drop yet. I would continue to try if it didn't cost me every single time.

So does that mean you need to be 40 to loot 40 gear? Cause they should scale purples to 36 and 38 if they do that then...

It's the same in PL.

You don't drop L65 pinks until you are L65, etc.

It's one of the big complaints about the revamp of drop level mechanics.

Essentially, it's typically pointless to sit at levels other than the ones ending in 0 or 5.

Ikr!!! I even stopped grinding and made a lvl 25 numa commando twink lol, just to get away from it, it's been pretty fun, commandos rock.

Think they patched this issue? =D

**Killerade** · 12-17-2011, 09:05 AM

chances are..no

Good to know the first purps to hit the market, the ones that sold for the most before the flood, were from those who bought plat and got 40 first.

Xmas event is a cost/per run...

Might as well get a luck elixir too while your at it, so you don't run xmas event 20 times for nothing for 40 plat.

Pattern anyone?

Woo Starwars mmo this tuesday! Pumped!

There is no set bonus for having multiple elite vanities either, so there's a good chance that the set bonuses were simply left out of the update by mistake. I see no reason not to give custom a bonus, seeing as the other sets have one.

It doesn't work that way in PL. And seeing as Custom is mysteriously missing its bonus too, it is possibly an accident/delay which we'll see soon.

**Cahaun** · 12-17-2011, 07:23 PM

With all the new features in this campaign I guess they frogot the bonuses Imo. Well the bonuses should be back really soon so I can wait.

The sparkles come from the LEGENDARY L35 GUNS AND THE L35 PLAT SHIELDS

**Kaytar** · 01-13-2012, 06:08 AM

I almost have a custom runetech set and it better have bonus, dangit! I thought these sets emit red and black smoke over engineer's head. Idk ill have to preview the helm on me because when you have all but 1 peice of the set and preview the last peice on you from auc, it shows set bonus.

actually, if you wear a set, you have sparkles and another set bonus. Say custom DID have a bonus, if i wore it it would show a custom set bonus and shield/pink gun bonus.

Check the creation date, this is almost a month old.
A set bonus and effect were added to all lvl 40 sets.
That rap2xlim kid is bumping up all these old threads.
