Q:
Being a slowcoach/explorer, I’ve only just started on the Risen maps.
Though I’ve been avoiding spoilers, I was already forewarned that the Risen are relentlessly joyless to fight (that forum theme is 100% correct! 
) – however I’ve also avoided spoiling exactly where all the lovely named exotic sets came from…
I was expecting/hoping the specially rare stuff would just drop off Risen to give the hordes some appeal, but I’ve spend the whole evening on the 1st warfront map (70-75) and the Risen have only dropped stuff that is one tier below vendor trash (and that’s being generous) – when they drop anything at all!
If anyone can avoid giving too much away about the next areas, is it possible for Risen to drop anything of any value (even crafting regents e.g. bone & blood) or are they strictly there to make it challenging to get to the enemies/events/whatever that can drop the exotic goodies?
I don’t know if I should make any effort to fight them between events, or just give them a miss whenever possible.
P.S. Is there any way to get daily kill variety in Orrian territory, or is best just to map where-ever is cheapest then back in again? I think I’d still come out ahead financially, or at least get a Mystic Coin and chance of bonus store item.
