Fester808 11 Posted April 10, 2019 Hi all, I understand the loot economy is a rather fluid entity, constantly changing as by the developers vision. Was as wondering if anyone has the latest loot economy map showing the areas in which more rarer items are found. I’m currently going by this.. Or has it changed to this.. Any links, help and advice would be appreciated. Cheers! Evan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aux7 233 Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) sure, I guessed Your last image came from the 2015 status report by DayZTV - Septic Falcon https://www.dayztv.com/video/dayz-status-report-highlight-26-nov-2015-updated-engine-info-more/ they havent shown this loot economy stuff recently . .. as far as I know. Septic Falcon is still posting stuff on DayZ what you might be looking for is the Central economy editor which comes in the DayZ tools add on From steam "DayZ Tools is a complete tools suite for the Enfusion and Real Virtuality game engine powering DayZ. It allows you to produce your own content for the game. Key tools Workbench - This is a powerful all-in-one tool developed to handle modifications related to the Enfusion engine game core such as scripting, particles editing, UI editing, and others. Addon Builder - The purpose of this tool is to convert all data into formats readable by the game engine and pack them into a single archive. Publisher - This tool can publish whole Mods onto Steam Workshop to be used in the game. Terrain Builder - This is a terrain creation tool. It allows users to build their own virtual worlds from scratch. Object Builder - This tool is used to create, edit and configure 3D models made for DayZ. Central Economy Editor - This tool is used to configure the spawn and loot spots of a terrain." I would have thought you could see the current settings in this? I havent tried it yet One of the Dayz map suppliers seems to use a loot spawn site detailing which must be based on such analysis. I find it predicts exactly (barring mil weapons and not specific details but generic) what will be spawning in certain areas Edited April 10, 2019 by aux7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matiman 166 Posted April 10, 2019 I'm jumping in because it's been years I read about tiers 1/2/3/4 stuff, and I never got a fricking idea of what it means... Thanks to this post, I think I got it now. Let's take this map (I understood it's waaaayy outdated but it's just an example) : Tier 1 = zone 1, tier 2 = zone 2 etc... ? Which means that if I loot Green Mountain/Pavlovo/Trotskoye (zone 2) I'll chances to find average (aka tier 2) loot (SMG, UMP) And if I loot the exact same buildings in NWAF or DMC (zone 4) I might find highend (aka tier 4) loot (M4/AK) And if I loot Balota (zone 1) I'll find mostly basic (aka tier 1) loot (SKS, FX-45) Is that how it works ?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was mixing up this post with the below post. 2 hours ago, matiman said: Found this one on steam that seems to match your description Thanks for linking this, this is the image I was looking for but I had imagined it differently, and resembling the original post. 3 hours ago, matiman said: Tier 1 = zone 1, tier 2 = zone 2 etc... ?

Exactly, although you may find the same buildings across the map, these buildings have tiers with Low, Medium and Rare items. Meaning anything found in the red zones (Tier 1) will be much more high end. The devs actually explain it in an old Dev log explaining the new (Enfusion build) loot economy system (see below) I may reach out to https://www.reddit.com/user/iv_maradox (the map designer for iZurvive - https://dayz.ginfo.gg/ ) and see if he can muster up a more updated map from my original post. Given the loot economy tool is now available it must be must easier to understand now in comparison to 2 years ago.
