Guild Wars 2

How much of Empyreal Fragments and Dragonite Ore dig you get per drop?

I got 4 Empyreal Shards from a random chest in Orr.

30 Dragonite Ore for clearing a temple.

20 Empryeal Shards for clearing Sorrow’s Embrace Path 1 and 3. (40 total)

Thanks. Glad to know I don’t have to do 500 of each to get this. Empyreal Shards need more info on.

Might start up a wiki research thread from this. I wonder if it is constant or RNG. Please keep them coming.

22 dragonite from Guild Challenge, 25 from Jormag.

11 empyreal from Guild Rush and 7 from Guild Puzzle. 5 from an LA jumping puzzle.

o_O?
Dungeons should be giving Empyreal Fragments not Dragonite Ore …

Got the following Dragonite Ore
Fire Elemental – 3
Temple of Dwayna – 30
The Shatterer – 21 but someone else pinged a stack of 16 so not sure how the amount is determined.
Golem Mark II – 21
Megadestroyer – 0 -_-

So far it looks like the rewards scale up with “Difficulty” and by difficulty I mean more the closer to 80 you go. Keep the results coming.

Between 2 and 9 Empyreal Fragments from various jumping puzzles (low/mid-level zones)

9 Dragonite Ore from Shadow Behemoth.

These two ingredients are all that stand between me and my Ascended greatsword – I have everything else, or will have soon enough what with the once per day factor. So good to know Orr temples are probably my best bet for Dragonite; I’m going to have to do a heck of a lot of jumping puzzles for the 500 Empyreal though.

Fire Elemental – 3 dragonite repeat on same day

Hidden Garden JP – 0 Empyreal Fragment -_-
Spekk’s Lab – 9 Empyreal Fragments

24 empyreal fragments from fotm 20 maw bonus chest

Do dungeon runs, just did CoF p1/2 and got 20 from the daily chest per path (40 total)
Looks like dungeons are Empyreal, so between that and the temples, I can see getting these mats very fast even if you do only a few temples or dungeons per day.

I completed dwayna twice (before and after a reset) and lyssa once, and got no dragonite ore… are those not included in the orr temple count, is it a bug, or was I just unlucky? The only dragonite I received was from the shatterer.

Hmm a friend just ran into that as well with Lyssa. 3 of us were there but one person didn’t get the dragonite. Dwayna definitely gives it since I’ve gotten 90 from it so far(60 were on the same day using two different characters).

If you have multiple characters, the Maelstrom golem might be the best way to farm on a per hour basis as it spawns hourly and gives 20+ ores per kill.

Lol, sorry typo >.< I was reading everyone talking about dragonite so I wrote that .

But does that lockout per character/account?

I did the Golem twice one day, and the second time there was no chest at all. Maybe that was a bug, but I figured that I just wasn’t able to claim the chest again.

It is per characters. I’ve gotten them from fire elemental, jungle, wurm, golem and temple of dwayna on multiple characters on the same day. There does seem to be a bug(or maybe the dragonite just has a very high but not 100% drop rate like how you can get bag of wonderous goods or an trinket in dungeons) where you might not get the dragonite even if it is your first time doing it. Did the lyssa temple with a friend and she didn’t get any dragonite.

If this is indeed the case that would solve the alt problem. It would not surprise me if this is by design.

Is the chest for world bosses once a day per character?

My experience -

All dungeon paths – 20 empyreal fragments per path – repeatable
Jumping puzzles that I’ve done – 3-5 empyreal fragments

World events -
Mega destroyer – 0 dragonite | 0 empyreal

Mega bosses
Tequatl – 17 to 21 dragonite
Shatterer – 17 to 21 dragonite
Claw of Jormag – 17 to 21 dragonite
Golem Mark II – 17 to 21 dragonite
Maw – 3 to 5 dragonite
Worm – 3 to 5 dragonite
Shadow Behemoth – 3 to 5 dragonite
Fire Elemental – 3 to 5 dragonite

All temples – 30 dragonite

As far as dragonite goes, I find it odd that it will be the thing holding most people back from getting their ascended weapons done quickly. I assume they intended people to do all the mega bosses and then jump into wvw daily?

Either way being able to get their chests only once a day is frustrating. Lets us at least get dragonites from them more than once a day.

I don’t get why they are so rare when the other materials are really pretty common. And coupled with the fact that most people are still waiting 5 to 10 days for their daily craft timers..

From storming the gates of Arah, I got…

…Nothing. Some bloodstone dust and a pile of greens from which my black lion salvage kits only gave me 3 ori.

Am I just the unluckiest adventurer in Tyria, or does the super-wizard with a legendary just not drop dragonite?

Dragonite comes from the event completion chests. The bosses don’t.

Nah. The Arah gate opening event itself doesn’t give dragonite ores. It is separate from the temple events

The big chest that spawns is once per character per day. The one with the rare+ is once per account per day. The big chest is the one that contains the dragonite.

Yeah, this has been my realization too. Had more than enough Bloodstone Dust after saving a whole bunch of invasion chests and opening them post-patch, finished off the Empyreal Star today after using my alts to tour the chests in PVE for fragments … but still need almost 300 Dragonite Ore.

But I guess I shouldn’t really be too worried, as I still need to craft 6 Deldrimor Steel ingots (3 each for a GS hilt and blade), and I can only craft one of those per day. So over the next 6 days, if I focus on the high-level world bosses and maybe a temple or two, I should have what I need for the last 3 Dragonite ingots.

The big chest that spawns is once per character per day. The one with the rare+ is once per account per day. The big chest is the one that contains the dragonite.

The bonus chest is once per account dragonite does not spawn in it. The per character per day is the one that spawns in the world. I actually had other players confirm what this player is stating.
