Guild Wars 2

I’m looking into making ascended weapons/equipment, but the problem has become that I lack dragonite ore. I’ve tried doing the events that now run on a 15 minute timer, but that nets me about 3-5 ore per event, or 5 minutes for 1-2 ore. To get the 1500 needed for armor and 2.5 minutes per ore it would take me roughly 62 hours of just events to get my dragonite ore. How are people filling up on it so quickly that it’s clogging up their inventories?

It’s all there. You can do the harder world bosses and get more Ore.

The two bosses in Iron Marches aren’t on the world boss schedule, so you should park a level 80 alt there to check on them.

I do all the events that pop up (since their on a synchronized timer, I do every single event) and I’m still not finding myself swimming in dragonite ore. Even if I get an average of 12 ore per event, it’ll take me 31 hours of just events to make my armor. While that is a much better figure from my original estimate, it seems like either people with too much of it are playing the game a little too much (no offense) or I’m doing something wrong here.

The people who are swimming in it are doing WvW and taking down keeps/towers/etc.

Killing the NPC boss of a fortified place in WvW pays out a lot of Dragonite ore AND it isn’t locked to a schedule so you can do it constantly.

Just shift back a gear and try not to do it in a few days?
Next to the scheduled world boss events and WvW already mentioned the temple events in Orr are also giving dragonite ore

Orr Temples were my main supply when getting an Ascended Weapon, but megaservers made it harder for my guild to coordinate

Hop into the EotM karma train and you’ll get 40-60 dragonite per hour non-stop. Not to mention a lot of bloodstone and empyreals, too.

just did eotm for over 40 mins zero dragonite ore only emp fragments gained form chests

You’ll need to capture Keeps. Ask the train Commander if he’ll be capturing Keeps, but note that this is sometimes not possible if you’re on a map with a low server presence. (It will be hard to take a Keep with less than 10 people, for example.)
