Guild Wars 2

I’m here to ask a question mainly because I am maybe a little impatient about getting my experimental armor chests, and there are some unclarified questions I have about the ectoplasmic residue drops for the coagulated ectoplasm needed for the collection.

It’s an item that you need 10 of, that are found in the hidden chests throughout spirit vale, and (from what I have heard), in salvation pass and possibly stronghold of the faithful as well.

A lot of the resources (read: wiki) and what I have heard from other people suggest multiple ectoplasmic residues may be obtained in a week by opening all the chests. For three weeks now I’ve gotten a residue on the first chest opened, but no others. At this rate it will take me 7 more weeks to obtain all of the ectoplasmic residue needed for the experimental armor box, which I do not want to have to wait through unless I have to.

Has anyone else had drops like this? Is this intended? Does my rng just suck/is it possible to get more than 1 in a week?

It’s totally random… All in all it took me four weeks I think? And one week I got zero.

You have to wait five weeks for your gorseval threads anyways… And then also wait for them to finish Legendary Armor in 2027.
