    Proto-Omega Loot Pool

    My Limbus shell is attempting its first Proto-Omega on Sunday. There's only a couple people who actually have fought Omega in my shell before, but I'm pretty sure we can take it. We've put together a pretty solid strategy.

    In any case, I'm not asking about strategy. My question is, what kind of drops can I expect from Omega? I know that he always drops 2 pieces (and possibly a body too), but I'm looking for actual proportions on the drops -- how liable I am to see X drop.

    Why I ask is because there's only four people in my shell with jobs that can equip Homam, and I'm among them. >_> I'm hoping to see the feet or body (I'm the loldrg of the lot), but from what I've read I can pretty much just expect heads.

    Would anybody happen to have some idea from what they've seen, or is it mostly random?

    Feet are second rarest? The last run we did we got 2, and I missed mine to due computer troubles :/

    It's pretty much completely random. For us our least common drop was and still is hands, though recently it's picked up. I think our most common is head legs and shoes, then body, then hands.

    Posting BG's experience, I'm sure every LS has different drop history. We've been freelotting heads & hands for awhile now, while we have 8 people on pants list and haven't seen one in a long time.

    Oh, follow-up question:

    Does Treasure Hunter seem to increase the probability of better drops (i.e., not heads), or increase the chance of a body, or does it do nothing at all?

    Nothing at all, assumedly. Placebo effect since it's a coffer pop and not a mob drop.

    Harder to tell, we still use the loltheory on THF pops.

    Most people believe the gear is random from chests no matter what. You will always get 2 pieces of gear with the possibility of the body loading as the 3rd.

    No, you can't get 2 bodies in one chest, but you can get Body, Hands, Feet or Body, 2 Legs etc. If Body drops, you don't always get 2 of the same other piece.

    Body is completely independent of the other drops. You'll always get 2 other pieces, they can be same or different, regardless of the presence of a body.

    Though our LS total on all non body drops is about equal, we havent gotten legs in a while, and only 2 bodies out of last 12.

    Head ~ Hands ~ Feet > Legs > Body

    3 bodies, one quitzored. 5 legs, 7 feet, 7 hands, 6 heads.
    Combination of two out of the first three is what you should expect, be happy if legs drop, be very happy if body drops. :3

    Roughly from memory, the non-body drops all seemed to drop with equal probability (but more people wanted legs so it might have seemed rarer to some members) and body seemed to be around 20%.

    It's all equal probability. The rarity of some drops is due to bad luck and thats it. Body either drops or doesn't and the other 2 pieces are equal percent to drop.

    I'd say that it's pretty much random all around, we've done Omega about 6-7 times and haven't gotten a body though.

    We've done Omega around 20-25 times, Ruke will have to confirm, but I'm going to say all drops are equally weighted for the loot pool. We have 3 people with 5/5 and many with 2/5 3/5. We've seen 4 bodies so far also. If you're planning on doing omega regularly you should expect the occassional double head drop for sure, it just happends.
