request for The Junkbeast drops revision

[narmarratuk]

Hi,

The Jink beast adepts drops 8 drops, 7 of them which pretty much are junk, and the one good one that he drops does not have stamina or hp/mana. The encounter is great and seems like tons of people are pleased with that 1 item "Perfect Fusion Woozle" however the rest are pretty much replaceable by something better from other adepts. Here is my observation, Rabb the Rat, Grikk the reborn, The Bettle Queen, Agnar The Sandlord all this adepts come before the Junk beast and they all drop a range item! Is it really necessary for junk beast to drop 8 more where there is a lack on: melee shoulders, 1 hand blunt weapon, bow, priest glove, druid wearable tunic, priest shoes, melee shield? My recommendation is to change his loot table to even up those areas of loot slot that are missing from other adepts rather that dropping 7 items that are not that needed.

Pretty sure melee's would use any of those items against clockwork mobs thru most of the tiers , the bane on them is insane once max level. It's kinda neat to have such a specialized loot table on an adept.

Can you even get bane 12 on high tier loot, I'm positive you cannot get 15 which the one item has. Most high end stuff max's out at 11 I think.

An idea I had related to junkbeast is as follows
There is an npc in underhill called Assistant Mechanic Woozle(Junkbeast drops various Woozles so seemed appropriate)
this npc could give a quest that gives an item called something like control matrix that could be given to Jibber the Insane.
the Jibber could then use this control matrix to modify junkbeast some how like maybe allowing him to jump on or in junkbeast to operate him more directly mecha style.This new version could have an alternate loot table(maybe still dropping two woozles but also dropping a third item that jibber could be considered as carrying).

to TheRealDrizzl, uhm, yes there is one that has +15 and that is the only one people do not complain about, I'm not asking to remove that one, please read carefully. I'm asking to remove the other unneeded 7 ones that are inferior and useless and taking loot space for other items that could be a better more creative fit. I like Swight idea, but possibly to have an NPC you can trade the inferior woozles for other items that you can wear on other slots depending on your class or what woozle you looted. Cheers!
