Bronze Rolls nerfed?

Hello all.
I am asking this question, if the Bronze Rolls have been nerfed, because lately I have not found anything real good in my Bronze Rolls.

Used to be I would get Kismet plus accuracy, The Steadfast Protection defense to all goodie, and once in a blue moon the Regenerative Tissue plus Regen proc.

Now, I do not even get the knockback protections which used to drop like snowflakes.

I guess I have to put on my overalls and start farming.

In real game, how do these drop? Are they from mission completes only, or do they drop from fighting a random mob on the street, or in the local gulch, or wherever you find one to punch?

Do recipes fall more readily in missions, or on the streets, or does it not make a difference?

What are the best rep settings for recipe drops or are there such a thing?

Sorry about all the questions....I just want to learn about this...and I am not too smart.

Well, this is only one data point, but I rolled about 10 bronze in the 10-14 range yesterday, and got one Kismet unique.

Recipes can drop from any mob, though not any recipe can drop from mobs. No difference in mob recipe drops in missions vs. streets that I'm aware of, but you can get a recipe drop on mission completion, so that makes a difference.

If you're level 50, the best settings for recipe drops would be +0x8 for lots of easy enemies with a good chance of dropping the level 50 recipes, which often go for much more than their level 49 counterparts. If you specifically want purple recipes, and don't care about anything else, then go -1x8, because purples will still drop at that setting.

Farming at level 10? I'd guess +0x8, specifically because the recipies are level 10, though maybe they drop from level 9 enemies. But for level 11+, probably -1x8. And really, it's as many as you can handle, which probably isn't eight at level 10. Time running back from the hospital is time not getting drops.

As the Luck Charmers worked out, a Nova form Kheldian is fairly effective at taking big groups in the low levels.

AOE and cone, plus the ability to stay at range.

Fire/En blasters, also- but I think the Kheld has the advantage in energy efficiency.

I liked my ice blaster against Hellions. They're weak to cold damage. Igneous are weak to cold and smashing, and they drop arcane salvage, but those guys stomped me flat.
