Improve cave loot
« on: October 16, 2013, 11:18:52 am »
I just did about 50 cave runs (+- 5), and this is the loot i got:

+ 320 apples (was farming the apple trees that spawn outside)
+1 Radx
+1 Radaway
+1 Jet
+1 Clothes (red shirt)
+1 Elegant suit
-1 Gatling laser (it exploded in my hand due to critical miss)

Honestly caves are a colossal waste of time.
It took me about 3 minutes per cave on average.
About 30 seconds to find the cave (searching through encounters) and then about 2-3minutes per cave to search the whole cave and clear it from enemies.
Thats 2.5 hours for an insignificant amount of drugs and some useless clothes.

I seriously think you should dramatically increase the amount of loot that spawns inside of caves considering how dangerous some of them can be.
The deathclaw cave is incredibly dangerous for a single player. Sometimes 10-15 deathclaws spawn inside of such a cave which all start running towards you.
If you dont have the proper armor, enough super stims, good positioning and a good weapon, you will definitely die.

Please buff cave loot, this is a joke.

No need to improve it.

Because i can find 1 enclave/brotherhood armor every few 100 caves?
No its not even remotely better. Its utter shit.

Sure i did farm my brotherhoods and enclaves from there, but the amount of time i put into caves is astronomical.
This is beyond grinding. Its pure boringness.

I will do another 50 now, i will report back with what i got.

Actually it's possible to find enclave armor from footlocker, not sure about Brotherhood armor.

I did another 30 (+-2) cave runs for now. You can check when i created the OP to figure out how long it took me to do another 30 cave runs.
This is what i got:

+1 Access card (dont even know what this is for)
+1 Elegant suit
+1 Radaway
+1 Rags
+1 Plated Boxing Gloves
+1 Turbo Plasma Rifle
+1 Mentats
+1 Police Uniform
+1 CA Mk2
+1 Tesla Helmet
+1 Clothes (gray shirt)
+1 Clothes (children)
+3 Little Jesus

This time i got much luckier, but now consider the following.
The few useful things i found, i can lose in 2 minutes doing pvp. Someone kills me and its gone.
The amount of time it takes to farm anything of significance is way too high if we consider the volatility of pvp.

Putting in 5 hours of farm time (boring farm time! this is the most important aspect to cave farming, its fucking boring) in order to get 3-5 useful items just doesnt cut it.
If it were atleast entertaining farming caves i wouldnt mind this low droprate at all, but running through 5 bigass empty caves in a row is fucking boring as shit.

I think the best suggestion would be to increase the variety of useful weapons/armors (which are not craftable), and then increase the droprate a lot inside of caves. There are a lot of good suggestions here for new weapons etc.
This way, you can find useful stuff all the time, but not necessarily the one you were looking for.
This gives more incentive to players trading with each other instead of farming for themselves only.
Since you find useful weapons/armors much more often, but not necessarily the one you need, you can trade with other people for caps or their own found stuff, encouraging people to trade more and establishing a better cash flow economy.

I agree with improving cave loot. Its horrible and even if you find something good its low condition.
