Guild Wars 2

Title says it all really. Really good gains going right now doing certain events.

So in case this thread isn’t just for bragging, which events would that be?

Tell us more we want to earn some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

They are in dire need of players in the now new ghost map, thus posting this trying to get more people to join them lol,

I notice the LFG tool there is not 1 LFG request for the new zone, funny how that worked out eh.

Nah just do yak events with a group and kill mordrem that spawn on them and do the rubble event and kill those mordrem they all drop t5 t6 mats quite often.

In your dreams maybe OP. Realistic seen the only people that are still there are the ones who tries to kill the legendaries and even that are only few people.

Lol think what you want. They are the only events worth doing since the enemies that spawn for them actually drop loot. And they drop crafting materials more often than any other mob type on the map.

Tentacles from rubble events only drop poison sacs, which are priced on the low end, plus some mobs rarely drop fangs (i think both kinds of dogs) and others (i think those were the leechers) drop scales even rarer. Vets from events don’t drop anything aside from the bonus chest and yes, I’m 100% sure as I farmed the zone for an extensive amount of time and paid attention to the drops.

Not only that but the chance of them even dropping something to begin with is abysmally low and even then, t6 is a rare ‘procc’ that contends with t5, assuming you don’t get grey stuff.

The vet events drop grey loot more often than the rest. But yes tentacles drop poison sacs. Griffs drop fangs. Husks drop scales. Leechers drop blood. etc. The rubble events are really good for it though since most people do them anyway.

Leechers drop blood

Now that’s new to me :/

Just checked and apparently I got 18 poison sacs, 8 fangs and 4 scales over the weekend and that was after killing a ton of mobs. Maybe the droprate was increased (?)

One thing to keep in mind is that you can barter for the Stolen goods stacks, and they do drop materials, including T6.

Actually it seems some of the drops are random. I just got a fang from a husk.

Non native speaker here; what does barter mean? Trade? Are you talking about the bandit bags for 10 crests +80c?

and the only problem with the bags of stolen goods is your inventory will eventually fill up with harvesting tools.

Yep.
The only real issues with those are that they also drop gathering tools, which is quite annoying ^^

So i take it, the bandit bags are more proftiable despite the sandy bags of gear dropping at least greens with a chance of rare and exotic?

Tested and confirmed, nice drops from mobs.

Yea, i was wondering how long it will take people to figure it out. Yak nerf incoming. Hahah. And i’am just gonna throw it in here. If you have enough ppl on yak it will spawn champs and those champs will drop bags. Hf.

Sadly wasted is probably correct, in that they will probably “adjust” the mob drops from these events. Despite the fact that we have all but begged for a better means of acquiring t6 fine mats.

sigh

No kidding. =(

I doubt this will get nerfed, it’s not as insane as chests for no effort and actually requires event participation and encourages successful completion over running off for a chest.

Did that events a lot in the first days, but can’t say that i really got much T6 there.
Had the feeling mostly i got T6 from the non-mordrem mobs like scorpions, hyenas
and drakes.

I noticed this too. The non-mordrem appear to have better T6 rates.
Both types are still better than any other map though.

Not sure if they really drop better than the Arctodus in FGS .. however the last times
i tried to farm them i always had the feeling they drop less and less .. but maybe its
just that i prefer harvesting nodes when its more profitable since there i simply have
no RNG .. as long as i don’t farm lemongrass ^^

Good thing is that it seems iron, platinum, t3 and t4 wood are rising again

Keep in mind farming random mobs scattered about are subject to diminishing returns. Mobs that spawn from events are immune.

this… i didn’t get any kind of drop from any kind of mordrem… so after 2 days i did stop wasting time on them.

Maybe you should try doing an escort dolyak event with a full party.

of course drop rates are better, you normally run around with +150% magic find

There is no DR on crafting mats .. believe me .. i farmed one day Arctodus in FGS
for nearly 10 hours and wrote down after all 30 minutes how much T6 mats i got
and in average it was still the same after 10 hours.

You get less drops of weapons / armor after maybe an hour .. but crafting mats are
not affected.

I also don’t think that MF affects crafting mats, at least i don’t get more now with
200% than i got 1 year ago with 50% or whatever.

Lol think what you want. They are the only events worth doing since the enemies that spawn for them actually drop loot. And they drop crafting materials more often than any other mob type on the map.

And guess what? Both events only spawn after a successful capture and defence. Yak events only start once you capture Red Rock and Indigo, with more once you capture Amber and Blue. Rubble Event only pops up after a defence where walls break down.

You want to “farm” the only “worthwhile” events? You’ll have to do all of the events. Might as well start with doing all the events properly and get your “worthwhile loot” while doing so, instead of the other way around.
