Topic: Commander Jokasta of Cyborg Barracks
Replies: 7
Views: 12102

I camped Commander Jocasta for the Internal Anti-Matter Powerplant together with another (well, we sort of competed actually) some time ago. As I recall, we determined that Jocasta has a spawn time of 5 hours. So he can be pretty hard to catch. As an aside, both of us got the Anti-Matter Powerplant ...

Topic: Where are they being dropped!?

Found a QL155 Chapman in a QL200 lanterns & dolls mission. My experience in general is that lanterns & dolls missions will most of the time net you a piece of Lya's armor/shoulder patch, BBQ pillow or a gun along with all the social items, while old school mission UPHs drop a cherry for you and, rar...

But, unless you are in a hurry, you want to try getting it built, or like to spend money just like that, you can do a couple more missions in the same level range and get the crystal instead of the disc. I was saying the skill was semibroken not because it isn't working, but because working in it i...

arpa3.net is often useful, especially for nanos. Otherwise I sometimes google it to see what it's been sold for on the official forums in the past. You could also ask in org chat if you have some experienced people to draw upon. But really, you probably are too paranoid about the trade channels/OOC....

Because evades aren't that great at lower levels. Fixer evade buffs don't beat Precognition (a QL43 nano) until you're able to cast Partial Grid Jump (QL113). A soldier's evades are more expensive IP-wise, but the difference isn't all that great and made up for by that nano, and they have more AC, h...

Not a bug, just an inexact guide I'd guess. Sometimes you get a mission that is pretty difficult for the level you are. I suggest getting somebody to help you, or delete it, level the old-fashioned way and try your luck again in 18 hours :)

Oh, and OMHH is far from a joke. When you're able to insta-cast it you get 200-300 hp every 1.2 seconds when spamming it, so let's round off to 200/s. That's an amazing rate of healing. Compare Dr Hack n' Quack and Advanced Medical Reclaim combined, which come out to a little less than 90 hp/s. Even...

Found a QL200 (my first ever) a few weeks ago in a mission chest, so they're still there.

Moles and Scooplets have a far higher droprate than other mobs in my experience. I've been hunting them in Aegan, where they are roughly QL50, for some time, looking for Notum Saturated Metaplast shells, and the shoulderpad parts drop regularly. I'd estimate a drop rate of around 10%. If you can han...
