ok another message from dev but doesn’t reveal much, but worth a look

What I don’t get is, why is it a problem if we scrutinize what he says? We’ve already scrutinized all the comments we already have gotten, which (to me) still hasn’t narrowed down the search. If the comments have done anything, its just caused more questions that we don’t have the answer(s) to.

I wish a dev would simply explain the comments of Lindsey and Jefferey. Are they both right? Is it a rare boss, a large boss, or a rare boss with a large chest. <— or any other combination of the words they used.
Considering those comments have already been made to the public, it wouldn’t hurt to clarify them or nullify if need be.

ive sent him another, asking to define a “boss” as this is such an open ended question, if anything we need to confirm the details before we can confirm anything else, if we know what a boss is then we can start to narrow it down.

I’m also assuming from his non response to the open world question, it would give to much information away, so maybe it is in a mini dungeon which would obviously give it away straight away, And Jeffery i know you are reading these so here is your Scrutinising right here ;-)

For some reason Zho’Qafa doesn’t match up for me because the chest is a glorious chest and I would think that shares loot table with the other glorious chests in the game. I could be totally off on this as I realize the lore piece makes a lot of sense and I normally never see people there, so I will continue to do the events.

I am going to be on looking today at about 5 eastern if anyone wants to group and guest to my world(Ehmry Bay), or vice versa. I am really interested in exploring the Flame Temple Tombs as have only done it once. I could also see it being the Shadow Behemoth as there just seems to be something to that. Anyways, if you want to group up, please ping me in game and I would be happy to guest over to your world.

mini dungeon

I think mini dungeon myself, I haven’t been searching long, but after reading through everyone’s ideas and trials it seems to be the best idea. I didn’t even know mini dungeons were a thing until I started searching through my achievements for more things to do, so I could see a lot of people being naive like me.

It has ‘almost’ been confirmed that chests don’t necessarily share loot tables. Example Tequatl – sorry for the spelling.
So again I beg an Anet dev to clarify what other devs have publicly said in response to the question about the staff.

oh I didnt realize that, thank you for pointing it out to me. I will continue on my Zho’Qafa events for sure now.

ive done the shadow a good 10 times over the last two days and not a single rare or exotic so far, but i think this is just my bad luck (i actually like it, in my head it means ill get lucky with what i want rather then getting loads of exotics to just sell xD)

Zho’Qafa doesnt sit right with me either, and ive looked into it alot, and run the event over my time on the game a good 10 times which doesnt mean anything, but so much does point at it!

Flame temple is interesting!

Looking at all the Dev comments maybe Lindsay was being literal, Maybe the Chest is called Large Chest?

I actually got 3 rares on just 1 Shadow Behemoth event yesterday if it means anything. I couldn’t believe it as I don’t think that has ever happened to me on any chest before.

About the Large Chest, could also be “Large Boss” Chest, meaning something like Shadow Behemoth. I think this was stated somewhere before, but I find it funny

yeah, thats the trouble lol, such vague information which can be taken in many ways, would just be nice to confirm some of the existing dev comments, Any how Jeffery page 12! about time you made another appearance to keep up questioning ;-)

Once when I was a kid, my dad sent me on a snipe hunt…

Are there ANY other items in the game other than Final Rest that we have not yet found? 3M accounts playing for the past 6 months and it hasn’t been seen. Wow!

Wings of Dwayna, Reaper of souls and a few others but im not sure

Someone stated a page ago they got Norgu’s Mantle lvl80 armor off Shadow Behemoth so there is no telling what is on the loot table of these bosses. For all we know Shadow Behemoth could drop that entire armor set or each of the dragon bosses drop a seperate piece of the armor.
So many possibilities, so many mind … altering… directions to search. I can’t think of a better reason to get high level characters in low level zones than more of these types of hunts for rare weapons & armor.
I hope the devs will comment soon and give us a little clarification on their prior statements.
Add more of these rare things in the wild and make the skins unique like Final Rest.

It does feel like that for sure…but in my opinion, this game hasn’t been out long enough for all secrets to be discovered. I have been getting some good drops while searching so far, so I can’t complain…yet

We should all be on the same world and have just massive Final Rest zerg’s running around

GUESTING!!! I’ve got a guild which I run, we can use it to farm groups for it and chat about things there lupi stole my pug is the name pm me in game and I’ll invite you

Dear loot powers that be,

I would like to reiterate my desire for a hint, but nothing too specific.

Is there any way it would be possible to give us a hint in the form of an eliminator? For example could you tell us the event we are looking for “is not in Kryta” or “is not in a zone below level 50.” Or something to that effect.

Something as simple as those elimination examples would go a long way in narrowing down the search over a very large world.

Thank you.

“Final Rest” does exist in the game.

For some unexplainable reason its ‘sole bound on aquire’ therefore can only be tossed into the Mystic Forge, salvaged or destroyed to remove it from your inventory.

All I can recall is “WTF is my ranger going to do with this junk?” and used the later option to free up some inventory space. I was Lvl80 but ‘down scaled’ to I think 76 – (I recall 7x something) another reason for getting rid of it – a down leveled drop besides being unusable by my profession.

During that time I was working on map completion so was all over the place, already have my toon ‘geared up’ (was not really paying attention to ‘drops’) and was mostly ‘spinning my gears’ waiting for 10am today when I drop by Bestbuy to pickup my pre-order of another title.

oh for kittens sake!
if this is true what area?
ball park? hemisphere? anything?
surely you can’t be the only one- why hasn’t someone actually shown up wearing it?
I guess you don’t have pics?
I was under the impression Final Rest is a lvl 80 exotic

kingslayer.1342:

There is no Final Rest in this game. The code may exist, but it can never be obtained, unless this supposedly large chest is well hidden, possibly in Caudecus’ UFO underneath Queensdale. But it can only be seen and looted if you have 1000 globs of ectos in your inventory.

Don’t tell me that again, forum poster. It’s a theory. It’s possible. We may go up into the biggest ball of QQ since the last MMO in these parts sunsetted but we’ve got to take that one in ten thousand bajillion chance!

If this is true, that narrows it down to either Zho’Qafa, or stg in the northern frozen map, but I’d say the first one is more appropriate from lore aspects.

Final Rest does not show up in TP, not even when “Only show available” is not ticked in, so that would support that eventualy the item is BOP

anyhow forgetting the troll, msg me in game, we are going on a hunt tonight! if your free and just want a place to air your thoughts on Final Rest or just to chat PM me in game and ill invite you to my Guild which ill use just for Rare Weapon Collectors

I am interested in the hunt itself but not the weapon so I am not going to be joining a guild just for that.

“Tonight” is not a very useful time indicator without a timezone!

IF Lindsey Murdock said that Final Rest is dropped from a “LARGE Boss Chest” in this comment: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/external?l=https%3A%2F%2Fdviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net%2Fuploads%2Fforum_attachment%2Ffile%2F14636%2FFinal_Rest.png

AND the Jeffery is truthful:

It’s exactly as Linsey stated previously—it’s a loot drop from a specific (rare) boss.

AND the wiki only has three LARGE CHEST listings:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=%22large+chest%22&fulltext=Search&ns0=1

The which “rare” boss could it be?
Svanir Shaman
Overgrown Grub
Fractals of the Mist – not actually a boss, so does it rule FotM out?

Of those three the only possible one in my mind is the Overgrown Grub. Which would be hilarious if it’s the case cause the Grub is in WvWvW. I don’t think it’s the Shaman cause he’s killed all the time and I don’t think it’s in FoTM cause Final Rest existed in the loot tables the day the game shipped if I understand correctly.

I think i’ve killed the grub maybe two times in the entirety that i’ve played, and those were really silly days in wuv wuv O _ O. Pretty sure he only drops badges an siege tho^^

I love keeping up with this treasure hunt, I think it’s great that there’s things about this game we still haven’t found! I too suspect it’s a sub-80 zone and am leaning towards Ascalon purely because of how the thing looks. My initial impulse was to think Rotscale but it seems you can’t go to where he used to spawn in GW1.

manveruppd.7601:

Majesty’s Rest – where the Scepter of Orr was found – heh, I hugged the zone walls all around that area looking for a possible hidden access point. Alas, to no avail.

Ok,

Jeffery has cleared this up for us, i havent read it fully and properly but have a read, Btw Thanks Jeffery

^Hmmmm ^
Zoh Qafa
Font of Rhand-flame temple
Shadow Behemoth
maybe Fire Elemental- although that is very very low on my list

Oh sorry, i forgot to mention i ran the fire elemental 3 times and i believe its unique loot is Emberspire, it dropped for my friend on the 2nd run xD

This may be wrong but it would make sense being a fire related boss to drop a fire staff, looking at just a few items its clear the placement of items is very key to the type of boss and this game and its loot is very cleverly tied together….

From my understanding….

Tequatl = Shard of the Deep
Frie Elemental = Emberspire
Jungle Worm = Wisteria
Emberglow = CoF Bonus event?

So… After seeing the PM i posted i really believe Zho’Qafa is our place! so its time to get using the join in map option! im going to be running this event when its up and as often as possible, now ive thought about it and Jeffery quoted we would need to run it thousands of times…..well there are a few of us, if 10 people run the event 2 times a day it will take 20 weeks, we make that 50 ppl a day per 2 runs, by rights we can find it in 20 days! the more ppl attend the events the better as each time is time consuming, im going to run this event in 30 mins just /w warluke magic and we meet at a wp and all join in one server then move to the next one where the event is up this way we could possibly farm run it over a few hours and do it 4-5 times and 30 ppl do it we should find it in days!!

Edit: also going to put up an lfg so if you could all ask in LA on your servers as would be nice to get a big zerg to hit the events just to show Anet how serious we are!

“youd have to run the event thousands of times and hope rng smiles upon you”

seriously, wtf? why have the drop rate be so low? what is it? like .000001% chance? kitten wtf is anets obsession with korean grindy rng… completely killed my interest with that comment.

Its basically just another mini polar bear from GW1.

lukemorley.8602:

I think this has kinda killed my desire to find the staff… I’m not really up to running something a thousand or more times just to find out that it isn’t the right event to get the item.

I too shall join the hunt for final rest. Im crap for lore knowledge but ill gladly help in any way that i am able on this noble expedition!

wildcode.5403:

I say we cannot rule out the common large events, specially in light of a bug being found with the qualifying of loot, which could of been blocking the dropping of Final Rest from its chest. Something along of the lines of “Yes you can have loot, but you do not qualify for anything more than ….”.

The qualifier for loot has to do with drops, not chest loot.

They wouldn’t be saying it’s in game and it’s really not. Somewhere there is a chest that contains this rare item. The biggest problem is there are zero clues anywhere about this or the almost dozen other things that no ones found (or a very limited few). At this point it’s going to be randomly found in some out of the way event, no ones doing very often and of those there are possibly 25 or more… It’s sad that we can’t even get a “there is hints in the game to where to find this thing” or “it’s tied to lore”. They don’t actually have to give us anything direct, just a bit to narrow it down. Otherwise, needle, meet haystack.

ok well im about to go and run a Zho’qafa if anyone can help the more the better xD

/w warluke magic in next 10 mins we start

If anyone wants to run Catacombs on NA servers, let me kno^^. I got tired of soloing it back before guesting sense it takes a while an no one else ever does it ; ;.~ (Or any other DE you might suspect)~

lukemorley.8602:

Unfortunately this doesn’t say anything we don’t already know. I’m trying to understand why this is even such a rare drop? Is the chance actually worse or equal to a precursor? If so that seems really odd. I got Zihtans Reach in the first 2 weeks of playing, so are we saying this is more rare than that?

wildcode.5403:

Yeah, which is why I decided I’ll search more once the loot bug is fixed. No one knows if it’s interfering with Final Rest or not.

Though honestly, I hope it’s because Final Rest is so rare and not because of a coding error. That’d make us all look silly, wouldn’t it? lol.

If no one is handling the NA servers ill gladly help with that, just pm or whisper me.

Nah not really… I wouldn’t feel silly at all. I don’t need the staff, at all… but I am enjoying the search for it immensely. Even if it turns out that it isn’t available due to a coding error… that doesn’t diminish all the fun I’ve had theory crafting and searching Tyria for hints and clues to its whereabouts. Naturally I would expect them to fix the error…. but….

This is the type of end game that is sustainable… gear treadmills suck, dungeons get old after a few dozen runs… but small things that immerse you into the world never do, because they keep you mentally engaged with the game… rather than being on auto pilot through yet another kitten speed run not talking to other players for a chance at a piece of equipment that will let you run the same content again at a higher level.

Give us more stuff like this… give us MORE ways to interact with Tyria… give us more reasons to pay attention to npcs and other objects… give us more reasons to theory craft, network, and interact with other players….

ok any EU servers with the pact team in need of reviving? you can check by going very close to [waywarde waypoint] usually contested but if its up pls let me know ill guest on your EU server to do it again, thanks

Thanks for coming anyhow, should of put EU, xD

Ok some good news eventually!!! I think the disheartenment in a few of the posts after my response had a knock on effect, topped with my QQ PM to him, xD sorry Jeffrey, had to find out someway or another ;-)

Now we have a confirmed location! we just have to decipher which one! from all of the posts!! have a read!!!!

So what does “unique spawn” mean?

I would think that it would mean a monster that is not anywhere else in the game world except for the event that spawns it. I wonder if that mean the Eye of Zhaitan that you kill in Zho’qafa is “not unique” because there is another Eye of Zhaitan in the world (in Malchor’s Leap).

So one of the posts in this thread is the correct location and event?

Since the beginning of the post (the topic creator) had a list of events, does that mean that it is NOT ANY of those? Since if you read what he says, he says “some posts have correctly identified the event/boss”

/EDIT
Err, nevermind. I guess it could be anything that was said here, which includes the OP’s suggestions.

this has its own event and its own dialog, well ideally we need to compile a list of every place someone has suggested and knock off any that only have one suggestion and see what we are left with,

But as it stands i think in best chances
1: Zho’Qafa
2: Bethemoth

So now all we have to do is make a list of ALL the events posted, whether we said they couldn’t be or that they could be it (hopefully broken into the two sections).

BTW, thanks Mr. Vaughn for the hint!

so .0005%. thats still dogcrap. but better than the .000001 that i thought it was.

Ok, so i’ve gone ahead and created and NA guild who’s purpose will be the search for Final Rest.
Guild Name: “Tyrian Treasure Hunters Society”
Home Server: Tarnished Coast (NA)
PM me for an invite.
Basic Rules:
1. All members will be officers. (Invite anyone interested in joining the search)
2. If you are free to quest for Final Rest simply rep the guild. This will allow other members to quickly identify those interested in running events by simply checking the guild roster. If you are busy doing other things, simply stand down and we will know not to bother you.
3. Have fun!

Could OP possibly post info about guilds organizing in top post? That way we don’t end up with 20 different groups. We should really pool our resources on this one.

Lets Get That Staff!
