Guild Wars 2

So, I’ve started going after the treasure hunter achievment, and I’ve run into a bit of a problem. At least one of the events needed to get one of the items is bugged. I’ve submitted a bug report, and just have to wait until it gets fixed. However, thats not the major issue.

I understand that some of the pieces are only obtained through certain event chains (i.e. Foulbear Kraal, Risen High Wizard). My question is finding out when these events spawn, and what needs to happen to make them spawn. Is there any way to find out when these events DO spawn? I don’t want to hang out in a zone for forever basically AFKing and potentially miss another event. I havent been able to find a timer for these events, as most of the timers really only show the major bosses.

Specifically I am looking for Foulbear, Rhendak, Risen High Wizard, In Pursuit of Knowledge meta event, and Eye of Zhaitan.

I know I can buy some of them, and have, but many of these are VERY expensive, and I figure while I get gold, I can try my luck at getting some of these as drops.

Thanks!

Foulbear Krall event is bugged about 85% of the time. When it isn’t bugged, the chain starts in the camp to the north and works its way down into the Kraal. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ogre_Wars

Rhendak spawns every 10 minutes or so (you have to attempt to open his chest after the 10 minute CD). He’s at the end of the Font of Rhand (you can get ported in if a Mesmer is present). http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Champion_Rhendak_the_Crazed

Risen High Wizard is the final boss in the Gates of Arah chain. If the gates are being defended you have no chance at this boss. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Risen_High_Wizard

Dredge Commissar (In pursuit of knowledge) is a tricky one. The Priory must be in control of BOTH center camps AND the Commissar’s 20 minute CD must have passed. If the priory is listed as being in control of the camps but there are dredge in them, then the event is bugged and you’ll need a new map. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/In_Pursuit_of_Knowledge

Eye of Zhaitan I believe is the bugger in Straits of Devastation underneath the Temple of Balthazar. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Destroy_the_Eye_of_Zhaitan

I understand where they are, just not sure about the times. Would you happen to know where one could find that information?

Rhendak is about every 10 min when someone interacts with the chest.

The problem is, those events don’t start at specific times but under specific conditions (pres done etc). So you can’t know if a boss will come before you’re in a certain map.

The only thing that could help you are the timers for the events.
Eg. the Eye event chain restarts 9-12mins after each Eye kill, then some pres will start. Once you did them, it takes another 15-25 minutes until another pre (the escort part) starts, after that the Eye will spawn again. So you can’t say when it’ll spawn, but you can say how long it will take in the worst case (once you’re in a certain map!).

You can try looking on the lfg, sometimes people mention it when one of those “rare” events occur.

PS: For more infos, look at this site: http://gw2timer.com/?page=Chains
There’s a help section with infos (routes for pres and their timers) for most bosses.

I see most people do Foulbear after reset, for your bugged events you can do those right after reset too and they should work, I know at least one of them can only be completed once on a map before it bugs completely.

Edit; I’d also recommend putting priority on Foulbear since it can bug in many different places and is one of the more expensive items.

Sweet Thanks!
I’ll have to check this out.

BTW. Has anyone completed this achievement yet?

Many have. I’m not sure how many got them all as drops, bought them, or a combination of the two.
