Guild Wars 2

There has been a lot of people claiming that they or people have received item skins such as (Greatsaw, Scythe, and Grinning Shield). It would be nice if someone has a screenshot of receiving one of the non-craftable skins from the chest.

First I’ve heard about it.

Doubt they do, considering the price on those on the TP looks about the same as it was yesterday

A friend of mine received the light avian shoulderpads during a run with me. If those can drop, anything can.

That is helpful being that it is “actually” considered a skin. While I’m glad people got the craftable ones, a lot of people were calling the craftable ones “skins”. Which they aren’t technically skins. They’re the actual weapons.

Well they do drop. When i logged tonight, some guildies were doing a run and one of them pulled the GS Greatsaw. Unfortunately no screenie but everyone in party was cursing at him..lol

I have personally recieved the Mad Moon Shield and the Death Shoulders (medium). So both craftable and BLC skins are available, in theory.

No pictures though

I can vouch for this that it does happen but I have no screenshot to back up this claim (I ran with a guy in the MK dungeon and he got the Deathly Shoulders from a ToT bag)

I think you can get it from any ToT bag, anywhere – the chances of actually getting halloween skins though are super slim.

Why does everyone want to see proof from others want proof go down and run it until you get one too lazy tough luck.

I would like proof is due to the fact that the Greatsaw is something I would like to acquire prior to the end of the events (Many people feel the same). If this was going on indefinitely I wouldn’t be so concerned.

The reason why this answer is pertinent is the limited time frame to farm this dungeon. If it does not drop I would much rather spend my time farming gold to buy it off the Auction House.

There is also flaw to your logic. If someone was to run it, they’re not guaranteed to get one. I ran it 20 times. It didn’t drop. Statistically it may never drop for me. So therefore if it doesn’t drop for me then it doesn’t drop for anyone?

I don’t think that asking for proof of someones claim is that big of a deal. There was a thread of people with screenshots/in-game links of the boots that dropped from the Clock tower chest as soon as they got them. People are inquisitive by nature, so its a valid request.

Guy in my party got perm merch, kitten is possible

Pig.5827:

If it does not drop I would much rather spend my time farming gold to buy it off the Auction House.

Even if it had a drop rate of 99%, you could “farm” forever and never get it. Given the apparent drop rate (hard to pinpoint it, since GW2 doesn’t support plug-ins like the Wowhead client, that gathers data from thousands of players), the chances of that specific skin dropping for you are almost certainly lower than 1/1000, possibly lower than 1/10000 (per run – and that’s assuming the exotic drop rate isn’t affected by DR, like the crafting items are).

If you want to be sure that you will get it, if you have enough free time to get the gold, and assuming the stock in the TP looks big enough to last, just buy it from there.

If you really want to get something don’t rely on RNG. In case you happen to get a second you can always sell it.

Does anything affect drop rates of chests?
