Could anyone help me please???
What's the diference of runing Sissi(Boss Farm) at level 15-20 and when you are lvl 90? The loot that you gain isn't always around your level??? Could anyone explain the ?CAP MAX? and why dont lvl 100 prefer farming low lvl bosses.
Need a high explanation on this one, please help the community.

Ok I'll Help you out on this one.

When you get past a bosses lvl I think that sissy is lvl 20 max the max loot that he will drop is lvl 25 stuff. About the only good things that he will drop for players of any lvl are skill books but his drop rate is so low for a lvl 100 player that its not worth there time and or energy.

If someone could go through and tell exact max drops I would appreciate it I cant rem off the top of my head.

For a lvl 100 to get usable drops they have to fight a boss within their range. Rotgut tops out at lvl 45-50 I think...it's been a while since Bogey or Steele has been at him. So yes he is a fast easy kill, even on insane for Bogey he takes seconds. But the drop rate decreases as you get farther away from the max lvl of the boss.

When Steele first hit Rotgut the gold and drops were amazing! On insane it was easy to get almost 100k a run. But as time went on and lvls were made Rotgut become less....giving shall we say:) Now an insane run throught there for Steele maxs around 10k if I'm lucky.

Now for Bogey to get anything and to make the time vs gain worth while. He is limited to 5 areas. Abby(Embercore), Shadow Queen(Shadow's Gate), Balzack, Rasputin, or HDoL. All these dungeons have a max lvl of 100. All the drops in them scale to Bogey's lvl, so within the drop rules weapons range from approxamiately lvl 95 to a max of a lvl 100 Teir 3 (104? or is it 103?)

Now this doesn't mean that farming a lower lvl boss is not useful. But when farming a lower boss Bogey would get no usable gear. So why would he do it? Ummmm... one word...Twinkes.... But to farm for a twink you either need the help and willingness of people around the lvl of the Twink to share drops or some other way to inflate the group count to get the best drops for the bang:)

Anyway hopefully some of this ramblings will help answer your question...

OK OK, one thing still not clear to me. I read in another post that the cap for Sissi is 25. Does that mean the loot cap is 25 or once I hit 25 I can no longer farm?

Thats just the loot cap and Exp Cap. Farm him all you want afterwords but it would be better to go somewheres else

Ahh thanks for clearing that up.

The level cap to get xp in algernon and sissi is 25(dungeon being for lvl 3-20, you will get full xp and loot durring these levels. After 20 xp gained will drop by a little bit every level up to lvl 25. Once you hit 26 normal mobs will give you no xp, however you may get a small amount from sissi himself up to lvl 30(once I hit 56 with Trig, in RoC rotty would still give me a small amount of xp every run).


Loot drop rate decreases progressively the further away from the max lvl that you get, as bogey said. As far as I can tell drop rates wont drop to ZERO ever, at least for bosses. So at lvl 100 you can still get some loot from sissi. For the level of loot drops its base on the same scale as the xp. For all dungeons up to Embercore(and beyond), you can always get loot up to two levels past the max recommended level, for sissi this is lvl 22. But it is possible to get get gear two levels past the max xp level, so 27 for sissi. However this pretty rare to get up past lvl 25. And gets less and less likely as you get higher because the loot drop rates decrease. So even when I solo roc with trig, occasionally i get loot at lvl 56, haven't payed that much attention to it, cause i'm mostly going for a bit of gold and the possible rb.

In short, its like grouping with someone lower level than you leading, for sissi, it'd be like grouping with a lvl 20 lead, 5 levels past = no xp accept a bit from bosses up to 10 levels past. And as for loot drops go, its like get a lvl 25s loot drops, but as you get progressively higher level the drop % decreases so the stuff on the higher level end drops less and less.

If you have any questions or need me to try to be more clear, I'd be happy to help.

Tier 3 is actually 102. Tier 1 is base lvl 100, tier 2 would be 101, and as I said tier 3 is 102.

I can go into depth on that to but i'll save that unless you'd all like that explained as well.

thank you Ninja:) the memory gets foggy sometimes:)

Yeah, thanks for making some things a little more clear for me.
