Guild Wars 2

Got my first exotic drop today from a level 10 Marsh Drake in the swamp in Queensdale tonight. It was kinda funny cause it was with a Rune of Grenth right in the Temple of Ages. I felt blessed :P

Wondering if anyone else has had funny experiences similar to this. Either with drops or something that seemed a bit divine lol

Happy Holidays!

Got a white dye once from a spider back in my first days of GW2.

Celestial and some rares from young spiders too. When the veteran ones only drop spider legs. There is seriously something wrong with the loot system in this respect. One would think the stupidity have stopped with the Diablo franchise.

My luck works backwards. Exotic dagger drops right after I bought a couple Ascalonian weapons. A staff drops the day after I crafted one for myself.
The loot-gods mock me.

2nd day of launch I got an abyss dye. Was only worth 1g then.

Opened literally ONE black lion chest during the Halloween event. It was the Scythe Staff Skin.

back on my earlier levels i opend up a blacklioned chest i got another key, then another – about 7 times in a row, didn’t knew what it meant

I had a lot better loot drops at head start than now. In the first weekend of head start I had a black dye, 2 midnight fire dyes, and a white dye drop off of trash NPCs in the norn and human starting zones. From my 4th black lion chest, also in head start, I got the infinite mystery tonic potion.

My luck on drops has been crap ever since.

Shoulda gone to Vegas that weekend instead =D

Got an Abyss AND a Black dye before I was even lvl30 in GW2, sold the Abyss though since I had already put the black on and didn’t think it would be much darker.

I was wrong.

got my gold dye from golden moa. was pretty funny not that rare though

Remember that the quality of a mob’s drops will increase based on how long the mob has lived for.

Most mobs die within a few hours.

If a mob manages to hang around a full day or two, there’s a good possibility it will drop something awesome.

I know that the EXP you get increases, but I’ve never heard the drop rate does. Source?

link to source or this is just plain BS…

Those mobs do have increased exp return. Not sure they have increased loot though.

I found one of thos abyss dyes from a lvl 8 in the norn starting area, sold it for 5G, switched it to gems and bought 3 bag slot upgrades with it. Best investment EVER.

Lol! Glad I checked back – some of these are pretty serendipitous

one of the very first christmas gifts I opened in a level 50 area had the exotic unbreakable bell in it. I pay little attention to the special events so I had no idea what it was. just thought " a bell…what the kitten would i need that for? maybe i can sell it for a few silver or something"

thats the only exotic drop i’ve had, but now I can gear up all my toons
