Guild Wars 2

I’m just wondering if anyone has any success farming for giant eyes. I want to craft the immobulous scepter. I have spent LOTS of time in Orr and come up empty. I was able to craft my legendary scepter easier than I think I’ll be able to craft immobulous. Thanks in advance community!

no idea mate where to farm them. The only ones I got were from Heavy Moldy Bags but I got like 2-3 out of 1000 bags or more.

You can’t farm them. Farming for individual items is tedious and extremely inefficient.

They largely come from heavy moldy bags. They very rarely come from mobs. In my +1600 hours here only ONE came from an open-world mob in cursed shore, and that was near release.

Your best bet is to farm gold and then buy the eyes.

Yeah I’ve probably opened about that many myself, still waiting to get one haha.

Farming in general is not rewarding in this game. I have farmed the sparks in orr for charged cores whenever I need daily kills. Have NEVER gotten
a single charged core. However, running CoE, totally different story. I guess I’m just wondering if there is an event or something that would drop them at a higher rate. Currently I think there’s only like 70 something eyes on the TP.

Yeah just put in buy orders (maybe 10 a day) and you’ll get your Immobulus shortly.

Are you sure you want Immobulus? There’s a similar skin out there which is the Princess Wand which came out in the Wintersday event. Much cheaper.

Might want to consider Eye of Rodgort, it looks cool too. But costs about 500 powerful bloods.

Never had one drop since game launch, then got 4 recently …
Had to ask in guild chat what they were for when I got the first one …

I got my first one from a bag in lost shore today. I was pretty excited about it.

Extremely rare component. So cheap on early days, , but after the Immobulus recipe price is now just sick hehe. Keep farming bags, 6 months (if lucky) and you’re done.

My bf and I have been doing occasional Temple of Grenth runs. Since most of the time you are running Grenth you just fail miserably, we ended up with a lot of heavy moldy bags. I have yet to get a giant eye from the bags, but my bf have gotten at least 3 out of 150 bags. Perhaps that’s something you could try?

Then your BF is very lucky> In a sample size of 15509, 18 have came out.

Cant really farm them from bags, Best bet is yo just buy them off the TP.

I just got one running Melandru’s Temple event… they are 2 gold apiece right now in BL TP :S it was in a moldy bag though.

One or two dropped every 1000 bags when I used to buy 1000s of heavy moldy bags (up to 3000) off TP and open them up to flip the contents. They were cheep even still back then, only 60-90 s each. This was when Pent Shelter and that Asuran guy were not nerfed at all yet.

Heavy Moldy Bags were 2.40-3.10 s each too! I’d spend 10-30 g and flip to gain a 5-20 g profit of all contents.

Farm them like you farm almost everything in this game: by running dungeons for gold and buying them off the TP.

I’ve only got one in over 7k hours gametime, something very wrong with droprate…
I’m glad i’ve got Immo when almost nobody knew the existence of it, payd 70g, all blessed.
It fits lovely with Minstrel.

Imo they should add them to the drop tables of Eyes of Zhaitan. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Eye_of_Zhaitan

Ofc I believe they should add lots of specific objective drops to the game to counter balance rng some.

^ And the drop tables for Giants and Risen Giants.

In particular, I think that the Champion Giants should have a guaranteed drop.

Given the abovementioned sample size, that’s 11.6 in every 10,000 bags opened so far. Kind of ridiculous for a rare crafting material, but a rate that someone might expect from running low-mid-level fractals and getting an ascended drop.

Drop rate and source definitely needs a review, and some of the ideas in this thread need to be paid heed to.
