Ok, I have a guild who’s purpose will be the search for Final Rest on EU servers.
Guild Name: “Lupi stole my pug”
Home Server: Ring Of Fire (EU)
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!

I will start to make a list and post possible locations on the guild message of the day, and any new info there too, will check back here often but if the OP could post about the NA and EU guilds we can really start to make headway on this!

Thanks again Jeffrey for the relentless questioning, probably not only by me! ;-)

Lets Get That Staff!!!

That drop chance is such an outlier that I honestly think it wasn’t obtainable ingame until recently, and ANet masked the fact by giving it such a low drop rate. That way it is believable that it was obtainable the entire time.

Grenth is still in the running, along with the other temple when you get transformed …

Personally I like the shadow behemoth as the candidate since until recently the event chain was almost always bugged so never done that often.

You can ditch Keeper Jones, that’s the grenth event and it’s farmed a LOT as well as Balthazar. I doubt it’s catacombs IMO.

Large boss and Large Chest pretty much narrows this list down a ton.

Yeah, I’m just listing all the possibilities that were listed in this thread since the Dev said “Someone/People have found the right event/chain/boss somewhere in this thread.” So I’m gathering up all the possibilities that dropped chests.

yeah i know what you mean but in one sense it is a unique spawn as its dialog is set to that event chain, but as a boss it uses the same model making it not unique…..hmmm

Can a Dev confirm that it’s somewhere on the list? (Wishful thinking lol)

With the “unique” spawn comment, I am left wondering if that means it is not part of a chain but an independent spawn. Are any of the boss events listed in this thread independent?

just looked, they all run from a chain, as they are major events, again questioning what is the point in the Zho’Qafa event chain?… its so big with so many events and spawns a legendary boss! yet not a meta event, a dynamic! and needs so many variables to get it going…..if its not Final rest its something in those catacombs, they are looking for a very powerful artifact, and the eye is awoken from his rest, to then get outside and the dialog says we didnt find it but at least we killed a king…..i’m set on it being this, we just need to build up the guilds and start farming the hell outta it, im mean 50 man plus zerg then guest and do it again lol

I am to lazy to look threw all the posts to see if anyone put it up as an idea but what about the bosses in WvW that everyone has forgotten about? Personally I have only done one and thats the giant forest grub and it drops a huge chest. There are many other bosses as well threw out EB that would take sometime to kill esp with another server swooping in. Champs and Legends. Just another thought that i think should be farmed.

The only thing that lures me to megadestroyer is that you could consider him unique in the fact that he is the only destroyer troll in the game that i know of. There are at least 3 eye’s of zhaitan roaming the world. Even though he’s only a champ, he’s still pretty unique and he’s big and spawns a big chest. Also the pure fact that no one really farms him as the timers haven’t been updated in ages. The only other possibility in that list is SB, just since he was bugged for so long, but he’s been farmed quite a bit in the last month or so. That may not qualify as enough people looting the chest, but i bet it’s a lot closer than megadestroyer.

A Dev confirmed that someone has already guessed the right event, so no new theories are necessary.

This means that several people have thrown out the correct theory. But after I went through 13 pages, I can tell that a lot of people have discussed a lot of those theories, so it doesn’t narrow it down all that much.

That was also one of the guesses, the overgrown grub. That is assuming it also spawns a chest upon death.

If I’ve done my sums correctly, to get a 90% chance at an event that occurs .0005% of the time, we’d need 461,000 of the correct chests opened. Which still leaves the one-in-ten chance that nobody would have gotten it

He says :

I don’t believe that it has been completed enough times to expect it to have produced Final Rest

It’s a unique spawn with its own event

Does that mean that we can rule out super popular Events? I mean, if he thinks that super popular events haven’t been farmed enough for it to drop, then we’re doomed.

I just went and checked on the other Eye of Zhaitan at Malchor Leap and its of Champion rank whereas the one at Strait is of Legendary rank. Also I think the model portrait on the Champion Eye of Zhaitan is different to the Legendary one. I haven’t ran Zho. Catacomb for a few days now so I don’t really remember. Maybe one a Queen and the other is a King.

So you could argue, it is still a “unique spawn” in that sense. -.- @ Jeffrey and his choice of word!

Well Legendary lines up with the earlier claim of a “rare boss”.

So i guess the catacombs has to be run some 200000+ times before we know “for sure”?

And honestly, why would they park a legendary that far out of ways if it was not protecting something interesting?

Just a quick note—I said the odds of it dropping was closer to .005 than the 1 in a million or so that was tossed out. Those aren’t the exact odds, but if my math is correct, 10 players running the event every day might expect one staff to drop after about 7 months. (And we haven’t been out that long.)

lol? it takes people less than half that time to make a legendary. this staff is not legendary and doesnt even have particle effects. what point is it to make it that low drop rate
