Guild Wars 2

Hello guys, I was just wondering what chance do you have to get Mists Essences? I ran about 200 fractals lvls 10-28 and all I got was 1 Vial of Condensed Mists Essence. Is it like very low and pretty much comes up to blind luck? Should I just give up on making infused rings/capacitor or does it get better at levels past 30 or so?

I run 20~29 frequently and some party memers have had vials dropped, even with >20 reward level. You get them rarely (compared to shard), but it happens.

But still, if you’ve run enough fractals it barely matters if you get no vials/ globs/ shards, since you can either combine 5 or split one into 3. ANet thought of this beforehand.

the type that drops depends entirely on the level I believe so running 20+ your probably only going to see shards drop and such.

As for the actual drop rates, they are quite low, however you have a much higher chance of finding them drop in the solid ocean fractal (90% of all the mists I’ve seen drop in teams have come from that fractal)

Yeah, that’s what I’ve heard, so I always make sure to farm all the mobs before the maw and only do even levels, but still no luck in getting any essences ;/

That some bad luck, kind of hard to believe, only advice I have is keep on grinding them or solo swamp, krait, or charr for them. Good luck

It does not entirely depends on the level you run or the reward level you posess, but it’s like 80+% based on it.

But the main point is, if you got enough Shards/ Globs, just break them into Vials.

If I had to guess I think the higher the level the more the chances are rasied. I can confirm however you can still get this stuff early on. I myself got a Vial of Condensed Mists Essence from a lvl 14 fractal (my guild jokes this was the equavalent of a several precurors dropping in a short period)

Any high level fractal runs able to confirm?

Well… if you want vials, you should farm levels under 10 because you get globs from 10-19. Or, farm 10-19 for globs and break them down into vials in the mystic turlet. The best fractal for drops is Underground Facility, aka Dredge because of the amount of mobs.

Do mobs in Swampland still even drop loot? I haven’t had a drop in there for ages so I assumed they did that to stop people from farming that fractal.

I’v never seen a loot option on anything in there. I do however find they spawn fast XD

My point is, that I’m not getting any of those. I got 1 vial, that’s it. 0 shards, 0 globs. Oh well, will just have to keep trying, I guess.
