Dark Hart = Overrated for weapons drops.

I'll agree with you there. Although I will say that he gives very good gold drops. I've found up to about 2K gold in a loot skull from him. Thats a bit beside the point, but I do agree. I don't want to bother counting how many of my twenty-some famed came from Darkhart, but if I were to take an estimate, I would probably say about six to ten of them came from him or Timmy Dartan. The thing about him is that he is a boss that is of a fairly high level, drops descent loot (not always incredible, but fairly descent...), and you can take him down in 2-3 shots if you have a good Blunderbuss. Since you can take him down so fast, he drops more loot in a shorter time period, therefore going through his "loot collection" faster, increasing your chances of famed/legendary. The fact that many people can get famed from him by camping out for a while, is a motivation for many people, but his reputation for dropping amazing loot is far overrated.

Good topic mate, I like it. I could see good arguments coming from both sides.... I smell a possible debate.

I personally like Darkhart for looting. Of my 9 famed, 4 of them came from Darkhart. I often will camp out at Darkhart with the sole purpose of training weapons, and will come out with a famed, a really nice rare, and 2 or 3K gold, after... hmm... let's say, 2 hours?

He's not necessarily overrated. Maybe you just have bad luck with him. I personally don't. I've known several people who camp out all day every day at Darkhart for a week and never see more than a rare weapon or gold in loot. But then other people will do the same thing and walk away with El Patron's, other legendary weapons, and 3 or 4 famed weapons in the same amount of time. I personally can kill Darkhart for an hour, without looking for anything in particular, and walk away with a famed weapon. It's just luck and perseverance.

Also, stop looking for weapons. It works. Once you stop looking for something, it usually comes when you're least expecting it.

Well of course they the Lost Sword of El Patron! (which isn't even a good sword) Anyone with decent luck can get it if they spend a week fighting a boss and killing him that quickly. I have spent weeks there and gotten nothing. The only thing that he is good for is getting gold quickly.
