Guild Wars 2

So finally got around to doing some fractals with guildies in hopes of getting the Fractal Drop for my Quiver. So far no luck grouped. BUT that being said…I have managed my strategy to complete the Ascalonian Fractal up to difficulty 3 Solo on my Ranger.

My Questions:

- Does the Fractal drop on all difficulty levels?
- What is the frequency of the Drop?
- Does Magic Find increase the likelihood of Drop?
- Do any specific Mobs have a greater chance at dropping the Fractal Mist?

Simply want to be sure that if I am soloing the Dungeon that I am not wasting my time, but if I can get the drop solo under the circumstances described I will continue to solo the Dungeon..

Thanks All

No comments whatsoever? Anyone? It would be appreciated…

Thanks,
Kaloria

You mean http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vial_of_Condensed_Mists_Essence I suppose?

Yes, the higher the level the more likely you get such an item.

There is also http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Glob_of_Coagulated_Mists_Essence (can be salvaged into 3 Vials) and http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Shard_of_Crystallized_Mists_Essence (can be salvaged into 3 globs).

I think most dropped for me in the 20+. I’ve got many more Shards than Globs or Vials. I think only 1 Vial dropped for me in the whole game.

But don’t solo fractals! Go to www.gw2lfg.com and look for a group of your level (or a few above). Also, play at least 1 even-numbered fractal level per day, as those give the daily reward after you defeated Jade Maw. I only play even numbered fractals. I even did a level 30 fractal to get from level 29 to 30.

I can confirm that the vial drops at all difficulty levels, I got mine at fractal level 2 if I remember correctly. But why would you solo fractals? It’ll just take you far longer to drop mobs than you would in a group.

As far as I know, it has the same drop rate for all mobs. I don’t think any specific mob or boss has a higher chance to drop the vial, but I may be mistaken there.

Yes I was referring to the Vial of Condensed Mists to make my Quiver in the Forge. A Guildie on his Necro got not one but two of these drops in his first 3 runs….but nobody else got one yet besides him.

I will continue to solo the dungeon but was hoping to maximize my chances at the drop if at all possible…hence my questions

I will continue to run it grouped with guildies when available.

I don’t work on Fridays and often wake up early. I prefer not to Pug without voice coms so early Friday mornings I will log on and do it several times solo until peeps log in.

Prefer to go for the fractal drop to waste time solo than straight Farm gold…

This post is more about maximizing my chances in the above context.

Well I looked at the positive, at least he got one in the SAME fractal and difficulty level I was doing solo….which I found encouraging as I can farm it in about 25 minutes

But yeah, RNG based rewards kinda suck lol

Got it first Run this morning!
