Guild Wars 2

I would like to suggest that the loot table be adjusted on these (either drop more often or drop on a wider variety of mobs more often).

I have been playing since headstart. I think I reached lvl 80 about 3 weeks ago. I have never had one powerful blood drop. I do get the other T6 mats though.

I have even tried to farm the few spots where ppl confirmed that they dropped. Even tried using high magic find. All that happens is that I get vials of potent blood.

At first, I just thought it was my luck with getting drops. But then I saw something disheartening on TP. Powerful blood skyrocketed to 18s a piece on TP about a week ago. It has since come down to 10s which is still too high. Please take a look at the T6 fine mat prices on TP. This is one of the few that is over 3s a piece. To me, that is further proof that these are really rare drops.

Not sure if this is the intent. However, I would request that the drop rate be reviewed and at least be comparable with other T6 mats. Best case scenario would be to improve the loot table for these.

the could have price skyrocketed due to demand. Berserker armor requires this. maybe people like glass cannon build with lots of + crit dmg builds. ruby orbs were priced higher for this same reason last time I checked.

supply vs demand

Man, am I happy I decided on carrion gear. Ancient bones are like 20 copper. Probably because the Risen in Orr drop them

And yes, Ruby orbs are like 14s compared to other orbs that are like 3s. I was actually really surprised. I knew berserker gear was popular but from these prices it seems that almost every player is going for it.

they are really rare drops, but if you have 50 potent blood you can also throw them in the mystic forge…
So, they are not that rare considering this, and if you have been farming for powerful blood, chances are that you have acquired quite a lot of potent blood, no?

you can save a lot using this method.

I had 50 potent blood and got 10 powerful blood out of it. then 6 the next time

I think powerful blood were selling for 12s at the time and potents were only 2s or so.

def the best way imo.

Most people are in Orr.
These bloods drop more often in Frostgorge Sound.

Minotaurs and other mobs in that zone drop them.

^ This. Go to Frostgorge Sound. Same type of mobs that dropped lower tier blood also drop blood in this area along with totems and such.

Thanks Michael. I did not realize you could do that. I will try that.

Also, for others, I have been going to Frostgorge. I guess I am just unlucky when I kill minotaurs, trolls and griffons.

I will not give up though. I just found it odd that I have never received one of these.

Okay I just wanted to say that farming those T6 powerful blood is not a problem. You just need to take the time and look for them. I’ve recieved plenty from frostgroge sound and some other places in the world. Currently sitting on 51 stack of them right now. Happy Hunting.
