Rare Loot System

The Rare Loot System is a new feature in Star Wars Galaxies introduced with Hotfix 17.10 that gives adventurers a chance to obtain a bonus reward for defeating encounters. These rewards can range from items that are no longer available through normal gameplay to items that might be extremely rare to completely new items.

Loot Tables
There are three categories of rare loot: Rare, Exceptional, and Legendary. When an adventurer kills a mob and qualifies for rare loot, the encounter will have a chance to drop a rare loot chest. Adventures will need to loot the chest and open it in their inventory to discover what rare loot they have won. The items acquired from the Rare Loot System will be marked with a Rare Loot tag within the examine window. Some of the items may be found in all three kind of chests.

Restrictions
Restrictions are in place to prevent adventurers from farming mobs or spam killing trash mobs with area abilities.

Combat Level
Adventurers need to fight challenging mobs within 6 levels of their CL to earn a chance to find rare loot.

AFK'ing
The system tracks the time between your last kill and the next kill. If you remain in the same spot (less than 5m distance) for 15+ mins without moving at all, then you'll eventually start triggering the anti-afk code which means no rare loot possible during that period.

Macros
Using the macros (for combat, looting or otherwise) as part of your game play will not affect the RLS system and your chance to get a rare loot chest.

AoE
Using AOE's are fine as well as long as you're considered ATK.
