Guild Wars 2

Hello. I am sure this had to be discussed somewhere in details and i have hard times navigating forum, so if someone would link thread, i’d be very thankful.

After obvious halt of heavy loot bags at 31-34 bags count (and other high end bags like in pavilion) , i’d like to know a bit more about this.

Thanks.

There was a massive thread where people discussed the DR but it was either moved to some dark corner of the forum or burried under new posts.

As you mentioned Pavillion. I did my share of farming there when it was freely available and noticed few interesting things. It is my feeling only but it seems that I wakitten by DR after certain amount of kills and then for 20-30 minutes I had significantly less drops of value. Then it seemed to go back to normal for some time again.

Anyway, Pavillion was a good place to test DR theories as it provided constant amount of mobs to kill and quite high boost to MF.

Funny enough, during next “chapter” of living story I farmed crapton of events (aethers ftw) and did not see ANY DR on my character at all. I mean I had dozens of rares/exos/junk and had to empty/vendor my bags 2-3 times per invasion.

Same here for aethers. But what i did notice in pavilion is that altho DR hits junk items, rares and bags , the drop rate of T6 was not affected that much. They kept dropping no matter how long farm lasted (i’m talking about claws here). I’m unsure if that has to do with high magic farm or they are exempt from DR.

Hard to say for me because I vendored stuff as soon as it filled my bags but when I think of it it could be I never got more than some “set” amount of bags to open. On the other hand, I spent most of my time (as 99% of farmers there) killing Destroyers and those did not drop bags only T5/T6 and gear.

One of my theories was that DR was either seriously loosened or removed for this zone/event. Some time ago when I was farming mats for my legendary in Orr I could almost feel it when DR hit me, now it was not the case.
