Guild Wars 2

So some of my friends have told me that there is a chance precursors will be easier to acquire (or more likely to acquire) via the new fractals.

Is this true? Because I know that as difficulty progresses, rewards get better…

while I have only seen precursors drop in fotm and there is an increased magic find drop rate with increasing fotm levels. I don’t think it increases odds of precursor just more dice being rolled. At high level fotm every mob drops multiple drops.

Wait, what??

There’s more MF the higher the level is? oO The final chest is in direct relation to the level, yes. But you have more MF when you play a 48 instead of a 1?

yes

No you don’t have higher MF in higher fractal. They just change the roll table according to the fractal level. The result is the same for what the mobs drop, but if it was your MF that was changed then you would always have the same kind of reward in each chest level 1 like level 49. And its not the case.

For the precursors thing, there is nothing change about that in the new update. At least they didn’t talked about it anywhere officially. You should have the same chance to get precursors in fractal as you had before.

So from my understanding, the reward level is irrelevant unless you’re playing in a higher level, correct?

I.e. reward level 36 plays at a fotm 2, will get rewards based off of 2, and not as if he was in 36, right?

Correct. It would be ridiculous if people were allowed to run FotM level 2 and get level 40 rewards .

Too bad that if your reward level was only 2, and you did a level 40, you only get level 2 rewards. The biggest kick to the nuts here is this: your reward level will only go up by 1.

You get a bonus of Karma when you do fractal of lower level than your personnal reward level. The amount of Karma depend on your level and the level you are completing, but it can be as high as 9 500.

That I equivalent of what MF is suppose to do I have seen 5 precursors drop in various runs I have been in most where energizers. Who else can say you have seen that many drop to people in there party.

MF removes blank spot in drop table.

After this patch the RNG drop of precursor in fractals will go from 0.00000000000000 to 0.000000000000000000000000.

So it’ll match the chance in open world. Wonderful.

Well, I witnessed two precursors in fractals, so the chance definitely cannot be 0.00000000000000 ;-) I dropped Venom at level 3 On the volcano boss, and a party member (the only non guildie in that run) dropped Zap on a random mob at the fractal maw level 38 when for the first time in a long long time we decided to clear the level rather than skip all.

but venom makes people cry though when they get waste of precursor drop
