Guild Wars 2

A post was published roughly 6 months ago which
Stated that the Dry Top/Silverwastes “chest on events”
Rewards system will be implemented on all the old maps with crafting materials
As rewards (especially T6)

Since this implementation wasn’t mentioned since that
Post, I was just wondering if it’s still happening or not…

The reason I’m asking is because I’m considering trading my laurels for T6 mats,
But if materials’ll be farmable, it’ll be a waste

Mats will be farmable on all maps (tier will depend on map level) when HoT goes live. It is part of the new map rewards scheme.

As seen in the Beta, you can see every map reward on your map overview next to the zone name (eg Vicious Claws in Cursed Shore). This changes daily iirc

You will get map award chest from playing and doing events on maps when the expansion hits. What kind of resources we dont know but are hopefull for giant eyes and other like silver dubloons ( since not many are 20-29 anymore and even then the drop is rare) thats alot rarer then t6 ones

Fields of Ruin for silver doubloons. List from BWE2 is here:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Map_bonus_reward

seriously hope thats not the complete list were are the giant eyes

Edit
Can say that in 1120 days of playing I havent got a single giant eye

It’s not. That’s just one cycle of stuff. The rewards change periodically (I think it was every week) with a new set each cycle. There was a reddit thread that datamined everything but HoT and Dry Top/Silverwastes map stuff – later a dev commented that Dry Top/Silverwastes will get an update but it wasn’t implemented for BWE2 due to being a bigger project. The wiki only lists what was obtainable during BWE2.

Here is reddit thread.

Here is dev comment.

Giant eyes are available on 6 maps with 1 cycle per map sans Cursed Shore which gives 2 cycles. Only level 60+ map that doesn’t give Giant Eyes (that we know) is Southsun Cove.

NOTE: Link from reddit thread contains map names for HoT, so spoilers kinda.

NOTE2: This list comes from BWE2 so there’s a chance it’s out of date.

Thank for that reddit thread abit more indept then the wiki page linked before

I actually got one yesterday…from clearing Melandru or Grenth, iirc.

when I start playing gw2, I saw huge groups running and farming in SW… I came from other mmos who consider farming as “bad”… because they promoted everything with raids and tokens and crafting/farming is irrelevant. So new players like me, when they first see this thing, is funny and strange… but then we understand its importance.

But then I realized that this game is all about it! And I like it! I wish more feature areas with events like cf in SW, for HOT maps. Drytop is not that a big success, but only if you are advanced and not in the silverwastes level.

So if Arenanet made that as an experiment… Its a success, keep it up.
