Quote from: putrid_plum;n681492It's almost always ignored and never has a DM dropped a super rare set piece that has in what 4 years never been seen a SINGLE TIME. Just saying.
Maybe I've just been around the block (this is Stranger's account for the Black Worm), but in the four years I've played on EFU, I've actually seen multiple instances of DMs dropping rare loot items.
Merrill Booker, for example, nearly finished the notoriously elusive "Charlatan" set. I've seen the Golden Dragon helmet in the hands of Watchers and the incredible, paired armor in the hands of Brent Kendall's gang of Black Guild thugs. My friend, Moonlighter, completed the "Dunwarren Scout" set on her very first character. The "Doughty Underwarrior" is a staple for many new fighters. The "Darksteel Greatsword" is always in demand. I've personally traveled with five different bards wearing the "Mummer" set. Et cetera.
Sets are cool.
Maybe they should be more powerful, as loot in general has scaled in EFU:R, but removing them entirely seems like an overreaction to me...
