Guild Wars 2

On reddit I’ve found a topic, where some guy shows Dusk dropped in CS form a monster. Is it true that there’s a chance of droping a precursor from monsters or is it photoshopped?

Image does not bear typical traits of shopping, few things seem a bit off, but not enough to call it a fake from the get go:

No timestamps on the loot drops makes it problematic to determine if it is a drop or someone just did some looting, went to the bank or any other source and picked up a Dusk, then went back to looting. This is mildly tin-hat theory though, but is easily enough done that making such an SS requires next to no hassle.

No shot of the actual loot drop appearing either in the corner with autoloot on or the loot bag with auto loot off.

The fact that its presented in a new tab seems mildly fishy, and a shot like this is easily doable if you have a dusk in your bank, mail, etc. anywhere. The question is why would someone do that, but it is the Internet and reddit. People do very stupid stuff for no reason there.

I would be skeptical, but again, I do not see anything from the get go that would let me call it a fake other then inner skepticism. On the other hand, there is nothing on that shot that would make me consider it confirmed.

Pretty sure its not shopped though.

Yes, you can get precursors from monsters. I got the dagger one (Spark) from either Aldus Stormbringer (Butcher route HotW minion spawning ice mage) or the chest that dropped after him, not sure which. It’s the only exotic I’ve ever gotten after several hundred hours.

They can but the chance is terrible. I got 542 hours played on my main and not a single exotic armor or weapon dropped from monsters or chests for me

I’m more impressed with the fact that it is a precursor that he can actually use! :O

Fake.

He put it in his bank then put it on his character, killed a few mobs looted them, ported back to CS, print screen “gg i trolled you all”.

It is possible, just stupid rare. Personally I got a Dusk from one of the Veteran Dredge that attacks Speldan supply camp in WvW.

Wish I still had it, the price has more than tripled since I sold it.
