Newbie here....Been playing about 6 weeks now. My highest level character is a level 5 Human fighter. I also have a level 4 human fighter.

On my lvl 5 fighter, I have done all of Korthos on Elite, and many of the harbor/warehouse on normal and hard. The best weapon I have been able to loot is a Masterwork Great Sword (And that came from Korthos). The only +1 weapons is a dagger and throwing axes.

On my lvl 4 fighter, I have done all of Korthos on Elite, and several of the harbor/warehouse quests on normal, and a couple on hard. Whith this character, I have a bank full of weapons that I consider pretty good for this level character. I have looted 2 +1 falchions, 2 +1 Great axes, 1 +1 Great sword, 2 +1 Scimitars, 1 +1 kukri, and 2 or 3 +1 long swords.

Is there some sort of "luck number" applied to characters that drives the caliber of loot that draw? This disparity can't be coinsidence.
