I guess this is why they added the faction priests as they looked and said the likelihood of getting all skills unlocked from just PvE was slim for all characters types... Certainly the CORE skills were available ... I had most of my skills unlocked for my characters before faction points ever came about however... Now the weapon and run unlocks I had not.
I think I have noticed something, and I have no way to confirm this, but it seems to be the case... Once you unlock an item with faction points, the likelihood of finding those said items (except with skills from quests) is nill. Example...
I unlocked Superior Absorption and Superior Vigor the day faction points came out. To this date I have never seen either in a legitimate drop for me yet, and I have seen plenty of gold armors I should have found one of these once I would think.
Same goes for Wrappings and heads... I was getting Hale Heads for a while. Most with +25 or less... But when I unlocked the +30 hale head with faction, I never saw one again in a drop. Same with wrappings...
Seems once you unlock the best level of a weapon mod with faction you never see it drop again in PvE on anything you pickup and ID.
I tested this theory recently with +Armor Wrappings... I was getting rather regularly +5 armor on my drops once IDed. so I went in and purchased +6 with faction. Now all my drops seem to be +6 and I have not seen a +5 at all... this is very curious to me... If I do a +10 will my +armor drops vanish as the others seem to have?
