    exact ql of general/loot

    hi all!

    well the title says it all ... anyone been able to determine a formula to predict an (almost) exact lvl of the boss/loot?

    i'm thinking 'bout running a series of raids to get some "quite interesting" lowbie loot with ai expertise 1 req.

    It *was* something like:

    Level of General = AvgLvlOrgMembersInCity + ((AvgLvlOrgMembersInCity * 0.07) * NumOrgMembersInCity)

    But I think it is now also capped so it can't go too far above the level of the highest org member present...

    Seems to me like the math is correct, not sure on the 0.07 though it seems around that.

    On a nearby question, what about the level of the hacker? seems to me like it is one of 2 or 3 options where one option is AvgLvlOrgMembersInCity and the other is AvgLvlOrgMembersInCity * something.

    This AvgLvlOrgMembersInCity * something is mot likely correct. On a solo 218 et raid I had a 240 hacker and on a 216 I had a 238 so from what I can tell it's 1.1 * AvgLvlOrgMembersInCity. Can anyone confirm this on a larger raid?

    if your just farming lowby stuff a lvl 60 toon uassally has lvl 75ish gen if he's the only one in the city.

    when there's more then 1 member the ql rise's abit for each member.

    eg 1 lvl 60 org member=lvl 75ish general
    2 lvl 60 org member=lvl 80ish general

    not sure on the exact formula but it close to

    highest org member lvl+15-20lvl's(+ a small multiplier for each other org member based on there lvl)

    just gota experiment abit...i know that a lvl 60 in city has gotten me a bag full of lvl 75 bio's

    hmm guess that formula offered by Darkbane geared my hopes a bit up :/

    what i'm actually after is ql68-70 comm relay for a lvl24 twink

    according to that formula 2 lvl60 twinks (there's literally tons of them in every org) would hit the right spot. if drgrimmy is right though ...

    well, guess i'll have to do some testing

    The range of loot is very very very wide...

    On a level 207 solo raid.. I ALWAYS get a Level 214 general

    But the loot ranges in QL from +/- 50 of the level of the general...

    lvl 200 solo raid = lvl 207 general

    hackers can vary in lvl from being green to red (238 highest i think)

    lvl 165 solo raid = lvl 170 general

    hackers can vary from being 150-180ish

    lvl 165 + lvl 162 duo raid = lvl 166 general


    hacker lvl is determined at the start of the raid, but it's not entirely predictable. as long as the participants dont change, the lvl of the hacker won't either, but from raid to raid, the level of the hacker will vary slightly, even with the same participants/levels at each raid.

    My experience is that it will not varry, but alternate between two different options.
    Not exact numbers, but lvl 180 only org member in team of 6 yields either a 190ish or a 220ish hacker. Anyone share this experience?
