Guild Wars 2

how long is the magic find going to stay around for?

will it still be there on june?

No, clearly not it would make southsun a permanent farm pit so its clearly only intended for this arc.

im looking for confirmation rather than assumptions no matter how much evidence it points to

Can’t give you evidence, but I’d say the same as Galeskyring.

It’s probably temporary. Knowing ANET, this is an experiment with magic find and droprates in the future.

I like the term “permanent farm pit”. XD

I’m curious as to why we may need such high volumes of passionfruit & Karka shells?

They’re components in a offensive and defensive infusion recipies, just as Passion Flowers are component in the much more expensive “off slot” omni infusion recipies.

Basically, if you want the current “best in slot” stats on your ascended gear, you need to spend some time in southsun or on the AH. Hoever you can get non-agony versions that are almost as good with laurels.

southsun arc is supposed to last till june 11, then it will probably disappear

I seem to recall Anet stating that they weren’t happy with the way magic find was currently implemented – i.e. being a “selfish” stat which damages your group utility when you run dungeons etc. Can’t remember the source, so take it or leave it. Anyway, maybe this is a test run for future changes?

The interesting part of this question is that I finally find the loot rewarding to do pve in gw2. Currently it’s not rewarding without this boost. I had basically given up on the pve part of them game which is still quite important.

If this is truly the case, then your topic will die very quickly as only a handful of developers could give that and frankly they rarely answer such questions. A forum post is about getting opinions of the community.

That said, I believe it is extremely unlikely it will stay. Makes no sense to me why it would stay beyond the story arc. When the SSC story arc ends and they move on it will probably end.

MF is evil stat they need to removed from this game,or at least put some cap on it.

Forcing you to were bad gear so you get more loot than the guy next to you that do more damage is so bad game design…
