Guild Wars 2

Any suggestions to help get this armor piece? I know the only way is to complete tier 4 successfully of Verdant Brink meta. So, how can I do that more often? Is there a way to switch between maps? Is the community completing this meta, or is it just Dragon Stand people care about?

Are you using the LFG tool to find a map that people are working on? If you check at the end of day / early night, you can probably find someone advertising a map that’s trying to do the meta event. Once you join their party/squad, if you’re not in the same instance of Verdant Brink as them, you can right-click on their party portrait / squad icon and select “Join in Verdant Brink” to be taken to the same map. (If it’s not full already.)

It’s not a guarantee that they’ll manage it, but your odds are certainly better than joining a map randomly. Good luck!

many many people do VB. in addition to the meta end reward, you can also buy bladed armor boxes for 500 airship parts and 1g. It may sound like a lot but if you play the events a lot you get plenty of airship parts from the rewards and cargo boxes

EDIT to add: ignore what was above, I was mistaken

Aye but not the vestaments do they? Unless that changed with patch?

There is no body piece in the merchant.

T4 is not the only way to get it. I got one from a t3 the other day. I don’t remember what my participation level was.

I just double checked, they don’t have the coat box. Sorry for the mistake!

You can get one from T3, but it’s not 100%. You’re guaranteed one from T4. There are people aiming for VB meta event most days though, so you can search in LFG for those.

I led a rather unorganized rag tag team with my commander tag the other day while trying to get achievements done. We got to like 3 and 3/4 and I received a box. The bosses were really easy, the problem was getting people to move around and collect supplies during night. I’m sure there are better organized commanders out there that can get tier 4 effortlessly.

It’s not even the supplies. It’s making the people stay at camps in small groups, so all of the camps are covered (instead of letting them zerg in only few spots which leaves most of the map undefended).

Indeed. It’s a situation where commanders are both necessary and a hindrance at times. Without them, people view it as disorganised. With them, players clump up round them like moths to a flame. Often the successful runs have mentors/comms at most camps to keep the spread of people.
