Is that it’s the ONLY high level dungeon that doesn’t drop ANY lodestones from the chests. Don’t tell me about the crystaline from the mobs b/c the only mobs that I’ve ever had drop the dust were from the world mobs at the very start zone. Not to mention that crystaline is the lode-quality drop that AC, THE VERY FIRST DUNGEON IN THE GAME, has drop in their chests.
CoE has Charged
HoTW has Glacial AND Corrupted
CoF is the reason molten cores are 3s
Arah is the funnest and hardest dungeon in the game. It should have some lodestone drop… or a random precursor after every 100 completions
They should add crystaline dust like AC has the low level dust. I’d be super happy getting 10-20 dust chance in chests, especially considering the supply on dust that is used in a ton of MF and crafting recipes is way too low.
So to start, I love GL, its the only reason why i still play everyday. I am meleeing him now. I have noticed a few bugs with him. So i am hear to give arena net the info because im sure non of them have played as much arah as i have.
1. before he does a shadow step attack my atacks do nothing but when he dissapears and there is just a big red circle left i do damage again
2. some times when he does shadow step he dissapears but then he just reapears where he was without execuiting the shadow step.
last night this happened…. so i was just meleeing away at a big red circle but he reapeared a bit late and the next sec i see he just finished his big swip attack and im down.
3. we all know he gets stuck in walls
4. he reset once when he got stuck in a wall
5.and once my team and i surounded him in phase 2 when he was trying to move and got stuck in the middle of the area. we meleeed him down to phase 3 where he got out of it with that move where he goes into the air.
6. in phase 3 his attack that shoots all the green projectiles in a red circle, the red circle is too small but its not a big issue if you know this.
7. this one has got nothing to do with GL, p1 portal is in p3 if you know what i mean
Lupicus should throw lodestones at people in phase 3 and if you successfully down him you get to keep them.
I have a better idea. On phase 3, have a sailor’s beanie appear magically on the ground. Whoever picks it up and wears it first can spawn a powerful Dusk right off the hat and IMPALE the bad dog! You can keep the sword later.
Well, you could also have Lupicus summon baseballs that make him chase them when thrown. The reward? An exotic baseball hat.
Sorry, I’m drunk…

Worst part about that is most of the time it’s the fat slabs of meat that never die who don’t drop the money. Things like the Magecrusher and Champ Abom SHOULD drop silver since they have about 4x too much hp and pose 0 threat to anyone who knows what they’re doing.

Being rewarded for hitting punching bags and taking 0 risk?

you hit that punching bag until your arms fall off and and no longer have any energy or desire to train anymore
this is a dungeon though. Would you rather be fighting punching bags that give no reward, or fight the opponent you’ve been training for and get the purse after you win (if you win)?

Those karma chests are junk. As a proud owner of 11 risen priests of blathazar, I can safely say that. I have spent around 2 million karma on the boxes and have gotten maybe 20 lodestones. That includes at least 5 molten and 4 glacials. I know I have gotten 3 charged, 2 corrupted, 2 destroyers, and 1 onyx… don’t remember how many crystals and essences though. I also have 1 warm potion that’s worth 5s.
Even though the chests CAN drop good stuff, them being added in as a drop would be pointless. It would only be more karma that we don’t need and a slight bit more silver that doesn’t scale with gold find. Would complain about either, there’s just better solutions to be had.

Please remove the rng aoe after phase 2, or at lease add red circles. It is so annoying to get downed by something you cant avoid.
At this point I’m no longer sure which attacks you’re referring to. Do you mean the aoes that spawn during his 2→3 transition? That already have indicators, but in melee range they spawn and land at the same time as the circle?
Piles of essence are lodestones, they drop from things that lodestones specifically drop from (like the mat bags from personal story rewards, or the bags of various tiered lodestone components you can buy with the karmic converter).
I really wish they’d make them worth something like all the others…
The problem with arah is the problem with every dungeon. Trash mobs offer pretty terrible loot tables, as do the bosses, who share loot tables with open world champions (aka a dungeon boss has the same loot as braindead zergbait).
But they don’t want to improve loot, because then gold acquisition outside the trading post can’t be time gated to push people into buying gems and converting to gold.
F2P games NEVER have PvE which is reasonably rewarding. That’s the whole point of F2P, to gate everything behind horrendous RNG and high gold grinds and nearly impossible to farm mats so that people circumvent the inconvenience via cash store.
