Guild Wars 2

Ive been messing about over the last few days and managed to get all achievements and put in a decent amount of time in this area got around 500 odd geodes
in that time i have never seen this Favor of the Zephyrites reach lvl 3 never mind lvl 4
has anyone seen it progress to lvl 4 ? is there even enough events in the zone for it in the time frame given ?

cant help think that this is a poor reward structure sine after a few more days this zone will be dead for the most part there will never ever be enough traffic going through this zone to get lvl 3-4 witch essentially puts most of those rewards out of reach for almost everyone.

“…after a few more days this zone will be dead for the most part there will never ever be enough traffic going through this zone to get lvl 3-4 witch essentially puts most of those rewards out of reach for almost everyone.”

My understanding of it is that the items are the same no matter which tier of favor the zone is at, it is just that the higher the tier the less costly the items are to purchase. So the rewards are not out of reach for anyone, even if the zone is completely empty besides yourself, it would just require more of the ‘currency’ to purchase the items at lower tiers.

However, my understanding may not be accurate, it is just how I currently understand it be.

prety sure there are extra recipes available at lvl 3

Ah. I didn’t notice. That is quite unfortunate for players for them to have designed it that way, especially considering the recipes are account bound and cannot be acquired from other content or other players/TP.

It’s really going to suck when new content rolls out and everyone moves away from Dry Top. There won’t be enough people left doing events to get it to Tier 3, and thus those missing the T3 recipes will forever be without them.

i haven’t even seen it on T3 so far and this is the zone at the height of its traffic.
it will never be as populated as it is now and its not reaching t3 nm t4 its fundamentally messed up if you ask me

Although, I haven’t seen it at Tier 4, whenever I enter the map, it often goes to Tier 3. Have you tried guesting to other Worlds? Maybe that would help…not sure.

Dry Top hasn’t actually been fully revealed yet. According to the Wiki, this area is called Prospector’s Valley.

The big differences are you get an extra champion to fight during the sandstorm and all events drop slightly more geodes.

Not sure if luck is upped, but I did see someone get the pistol precursor last time I did a T4 (and they got it on the T4 boss).

It doesnt seem that hard to get the map to T4 with some minimal organization/leadership. Dulfy has a pretty good guide to making it happen.
