I cannot get the Machined Greatsword Hilt from Noxious Pods. I did a 2 hour event for nothing, so frustrating. I already have the Machined Longbow, and I got the item from first Noxious Pod that I opened, and this one I just cannot get.

Ya, do the meta. I opened nearly 30 pods one day with no drop. Meta event gave it to me.
You can get them from the end chest or pods. The end chest is guaranteed to give you one. I completed the collection and this was how it was for me. I remember buying all of the plated weapons at once and getting 6+ of those collection items in that very run from the pods. The rest I got within another couple runs. It’s just RNG.
Yeah the plated metal is definitely the pain point.
They really need to add those to the verdant brink meta rewards, like they did with exalted keys in AB and chak eggs in TD, because they’re a huge bottleneck on unlocking your specialization weapons.
Or just buy the rare weapons which have a 100% salvage rate. Most are going for 7.5 gold. Considering that you get an ascended weapon in the end, it’s not a big deal.

Ascended? I thought these were Exotic?
For the machined weapon, yes. The machined weapon is part of a collection for an ascended weapon. Well, I think 6 of them are.
People generally won’t go for the machined weapon collection unless that want the title.
Sorry for this unholy thread necromancing, but I’m so kitten frustrated right now.
All I need for the “Dark Harvest” is this very machined greatsword hilt for the collection.
I did 2 full DS Metas now (even though I hate this kind of dull mass events but well….), opened around 50 pods but yet I got no hilt, neither from the pods nor from the end chest.
Am I doing something wrong, is this some kind of bug or is it just my cursed RNG?
Any help appreciated.

It’s probably just RNG. When I was going for the Warhorn I completed the meta from start and opened every single pod on the map and didn’t get anything, eventually looted it from the 10th or so pod halfway through the second meta attempt.
While trying for both the machined GS and Torch I got the necessary pieces one after the other from pods during the first event leading up to the Mouth of Mordremoth battle. All I can add is that I was tracking the achievements when this happened, maybe that helps. *shrugs

I tracked the collection from the very start, just in case I overlook the drop, so I won’t play this pesky event any longer than necessary :/
Eh? Unless you have multiple collections unlocked the ground chest at the end of the meta should already have provided you with the the item.
And that’s what did not happen. Twice. Just that one machined weapon collection active. Just anoying. Anyway, if it is really intended that those items are a guaranted drop from the final meta chest, it seems bugged.
Fun fact- my wife, hunting for the staff at the same time, got the staff piece after ~10 pods, so unfortunatly we’ll never know if she had gotten it from the final chest. Now that’s the part where RNG-sus seems to hate me…
… when I was doing the collections one of the weapons didn’t give anything even after opening every pod on the map after the meta finished and this was after the patch to add more pods too.
The meta event chest (the one you have to manually loot on the little bonus island with the merchant) has a guaranteed drop for a random unlocked machined collection. In order to be elegible though you have to have the collection unlocked before hand, meaning you must have entered the map (or final fight, not sure) with the collection unlocked.
If this did not happen for you then you are indeed suffering from a bug and should contact customer support. The drop rate from pods is close to about 30-50 pods per collection drop (again only if collections are unlocked) so not getting one from pods during a run is normal. I’ve had 1-2 complete DS runs where I only unlocked collection items from the final chest and not from pods while opening 50+ pods.

Since I definetly met all prerequisits, I bolded the relevant part. Guess I’ll have to file another bug report then and hope that RNG-sus will be with me, since I guess fixing this will take way longer than farming machetes and opening another 50+ pods…

Thanks guys.
Just to clarify, a bug report is done in game and you will NOT ever get a response/resolution. Though if they fix the bug then you can REDO the event and get your part.
A Customer Support Ticket is done on this website (click Support at the top of this page) and WILL result in you getting a response/resolution.

I am pretty sure not, worked that way for my fist collections but i think there was a patch, after that i get the other weapons random from the pods on the map (And for some i really opened a lot of them)

Now it could be I got very lucky true. I’ve finished the collection a while back (the machined, not only the one weapon) and I literally got every single time I completed the meta event another part unless I had no collection unlocked when entering the map.
Unlocking the collection at the end island merchant and then interacting with the end reward chest does not count as having the collection unlocked for the boss kill.
I must have gotten half to 2/3 of the unlocks via the end reward chest, 1/3 from opening pods. Which is exactly why I mentioned that opening pods can take 50+ pods until you get lucky.
I’m sorry you haven’t gotten your drop; just give it time.
I had to kill more than 100 tigers to finish one of the unlocks for one of the specialization collections. Inconveniently, the drops from commonly-found foes showed up with 2-3 kills, while this one (where there aren’t any more than 4-5 tigers in 2-3 spots on any map) had the worst drop rate.
I find it usually helps not to worry about how long it takes.
John Smith: “you should kill monsters, because killing monsters is awesome.”
Just a little heads up about the “buggy” part of my issue, I think I found out what kept me from getting the missing part.
According to the wiki (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mordremoth's_Chest) one gets one collection piece from the final chest. Since somewhen back in time I acctualy finished the exotic Vigil and the Lightbringer backpieces, I unlocked the collection for their asc. versions. And both times I did the DS Meta to get the GS hilt, I got an item for those collections.
So it all boils down to bad RNG in every possible way. Good thing- I didn’t get the priory backpack yet, so if I’m right with my assumption, I should get that kittening hilt the next time I can get myself up and do that dull Meta one more time.
