Quest Difficulty and Loot

[Timjc86]

If you do a quest on hard or elite difficulty as opposed to normal does this generally mean you have a chance of getting or will get better loot? If so, does that apply to raid loot as well? Specifically the KDS in Vault of Night?

[Impaqt]

Well, on Raids, You supposedluy have a Better chance to pull raid loot the higher the dificulty level. Exactly what falls is never "Better" though.

Ins tandard Quests, Weapons raise on Even levels and Items on Odd. So Doing aL15 wuest on Hard would Bump your chance on better weapons, but you wouldnt see better items till Elite.

the answer is yes you get better loot in higher lev quests you chance for raid loot goes up as well but my testing cant prove that, end rewards dont change with quest difficulties.

[Talon_Moonshadow]

Almost positive that you do get better loot.

Not sure about end reward though.

And the difficulty of the quest actually scales higher than the loot does......but no pain no gain. :)

Many, Many moons ago this was discussed, and iirc we got an official answer that chests=level (n-h-e) and End loot is ALWAYS = to hard. (level on normal +1)

This seems to be the case, as end loot rarely if ever seems better on elite than normal.

Think the old formula was:

Lvl of the quest (+1 for hard, +2 for elite) minus three = maximum level of an item. So a base LvL 15 quest on elite could could drop max lvl 14 items.

Raids are base 1/6 chance for named loot increasing chance depending upon the particular raid for hard/elite.

Raid loot chest +1 extra level for determining un-named loot. (Love those stacks of five fire pro potions!:p)

Difficulty level of quest (norm/hard/elite) irrelevant to end reward from the quest giver.

At least that's what I remember it being.

The level of a chest goes up by one if you circle it once then Web it.

You forgot prayer, bless, recitation, and most importantly Dimdoor/Grease combo just as its opened!!

Haha, reminds me of back in the day when you got booted and blacklisted if you opened a chest before the highest diplomacy character was determined and then buffed to the hilt and then allowed to diplo and open chests.
