Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if this is normal and whether others received this, but when I completed the first chapter of episode 5 I had the option to choose between a bag of minor runes or a bag of minor sigils. Considering this is level 80 content I feel that getting a bag of minor runes or sigils is a bit strange. Level 80s tend to only use major or superior runes/sigils, perhaps this was an error on the dev’s part? Did you guys also receive a minor bag?

Yeah, they quickly went to the vendor for me.

I understand it for characters that are still leveling up, but for my lvl 80 it was just weird

well, that sounds on par for … loot.

you get other stuff and bags together with that rune or sigil bag.. wouldn call it “unfair” or weak loot

Yea all the other rewards were quite good, the globs, rares, new skin etc. It’s just those minor bags that felt out of place.

that without question. Might be a “testrun” for a random rune bag loot item for mobs or champs or something

Yes, i thought that was rather strange. Perhaps a bug. Because it doesn’t make any sense.

It’s definitely not a bug because you had to choose. I personally got 2 minors and one major from it. Not sure if rng was on my side or if that’s the mechanic there but yeah, was all merch food. I commented on how weird it was as a reward at the time.

No matter how good an update is or how welcome the change, ANet always messes something up. This is one of the most… erm… interresting rewards I have ever received in this game (except, of course, being rewarded for playing fractals up to PR 50 by getting my PR reduced to 30). If this sort of stuff is related to the mentoring and the NPE male bovine waste, it has no place in the LS. No more insulting “rewards”, please.

Otherwise, excellent content.

yeah, I went with the sigils and was unimpressed. I did get two major sigils though, but both were %dmg against certain race/group, but they sell for so cheap on the tp. Woulda preferred a single random superior rune/sigil.

What reward should there be for killing 6 mobs and listening to a bit of dialogue? Bearing in mind that you also get an exotic Gilded Strongbox and 3 Globs of Ecto (In Ghostly Loot Bags).

It’s odd that the minor sigils / runes are there as a choice, but it’s nothing to complain about. I guess the vendors need feeding!

Otherwise, yes, excellent content!

True. I only fought two mobs (the two at the first gate), then I just went up to the wall and ran around the south side to the other gate and dropped down. So I guess its not bad loot for only killing two things and watching a cutscene/dialogue.

I thought it was odd at first too, until I opened it(took the Rune bag) and one of the Runes was an Account Bound Major(of Orr), the two minors went into the Guild Bank, in case anyone in the guild wants them. Considering everything else that you get with it, it’s not like you get nothing.

I must add though that the way you get the new skins is alot better than how you get Mawdrey. I felt the backpiece is just a giant goldsink but getting the carapace armor is actually done through playing the content. And yes you do only kill a few NPC’s in this instance and the other rewards are good (also from the other parts of episode 5), it just felt out of place to get minor runes or sigils as a guaranteed reward from content that can only be done by a level 80.

Considering you only have to kill two veterans to complete that story step, I’m not surprised the rewards were quite skinny.
