Guild Wars 2

“All the items found in the Consortium Chest can also be obtained as rare drops from any creature from the new Lost Shores event.”

Everyone’s reading this different, so i’d love an official answer.

Does this mean we can loot these rare drops during the event ONLY, or does this mean that you can loot this at any time in Lost Shores?

Put differently, are the drops unique to this weekend, or will they be available after the event too?

I’d also like to know this, and it really needs confirmed before the weekend is over so we know whether or not it’s worth dedicating time to farm it.

Indeed, because the new Lost Shores event is a bit vague…
Though I’d love to see them drop after the weekend, I’m affraid they’ll go with the weekend.
Let’s see if we get an official answer.

Could we >please< get some clarification on loot before the weekend is entirely over? >.<’

From what I can tell the 20 slot bag is only obtainable from the chest. The accessory with +25 to all stats and 3%mf can be purchased from a merchant in the south west corner of the zone. For 1000 shells.

Thanks for the info! – We’re talking about the new skins and minipets though
(Well, I am anyways)

I would also like to know if the minipets will continue to drop after the event is over. I know it says the chests are limited time availability, but does that count the items in the chest that drop elsewhere? Confirmation please!!

They took the 1000 shells merchant out in that update that “Didn’t change any content.”

Would like to know about the minis as well. I collect minipets, but I simply can’t afford the prices that people are asking for them right now. Knowing that their supply won’t be completely cut off would be a nice peace of mind.

Is there even any confirmation that the items are dropping from the creatures?

I started a Q/A thread on this exact topic

Assuming you trust a random person on the internet, I can confirm I have gotten an armor skin from a random mob (non-event) and a weapon skin from one of the 12 chests on the island.

To my knowledge, there are:
4 Jumping Puzzle chests
5 Event Completion Chests
– Demolition, Broodmother, various champions
3 hidden chests with no associated objective.

All are on the daily reset.

I recieved the mini karka hatchling from a trash mob in the nest yesterday 11/18/12 pre-event. I’m not sure if they will continue dropping after the weekend. They sure are cute!
