Is the drop rate of these affected by MF? So is it better to go more dps —→ kill more or less dps --→ kill slow but maybe more chance?

Don’t expect to get anything good. I went last evening for 4 hours with 346% and only got 3 crates.

Edit: Other players are estimating a drop rate of tickets being less then one percent. Don’t bother with the black lion toilet, you will never get a ticket.

No more non cosmetic world event rewards. We haven’t forgotten the Ancient Karka.

Sad, they could also give us a ticket for completing the story at the end, but heh Anet and their Blizzard philosophy (false friends)

400% MF and 5 crates in 3 hours.

That’s 600 gems worth of crates, I’d say the drop rate is pretty good.

Don’t know i got one form a reef drake (not young) and heard they drop from karkas. Also looking at what’s in there I’d say don’t buy them with gems.

How did you manage 400% MF?

Didn’t give a fused weapon ticket for Flame and Frost, just saying…

Finally I recalled the stopgap solution of a great princess who was told that the
peasants had no bread and who responded: “Let them eat brioche.”

363% MF and I’ve got 4 crates so far. But only got passion flowers, passion fruits and karka shells from them. All of my crates were from event mobs – crazed karkas, champion instigator, fed-up settler.

400% MF and 5 crates in 3 hours.

That’s 600 gems worth of crates, I’d say the drop rate is pretty good.

How did you manage 400% MF?

Settler buff = 200%
Boost = 50%
Banner = 10%
Guild Buff = 10%
omom bars = 30%
Jewelery = 42%
5 runes of traveler = 50%
1 rune of the pirate = 10%
Explorer gear= 18% (I think)
Sigil of luck = 15%
Weapon = 3%
Utility slot = 20% (I think)

total = 458%

I don’t run with all of that so I am usually closer to 400% now.

Was casually farming karka with 3 others on the beach. All got crates except me. One guy got 3 within 30 minutes. t6 mat drops in that same timeframe averaged 3 to 5 except for me. I got 1. I was running about 350 MF. I think DR kicked in since I Ieft my toon in the Cove over night. RNG is a kitten. Anyway I got my backpacks. From now on I’ll farm the beach for an hour a day. Can’t say I was to impressed with the event so far. Anets philosophy blows in my opinion.

The DR should NOT Exist in an event like this, specially when the chest rate for any decent items IN THE CHEST is 0.001%. So like a 0.01% chest drop rate with a 0.001% skin rate, GG!

So even when I get a chest, It will be like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILwZuO8fWpM

I got one from a reef skelk a little while ago, so I’d assume so.
