I understand there is a sort of cap on how much you can loot so fast and I’ve been googling around trying to find an answer for my question but all I can find is qq about how loot DR is lame.

I just farmed Orr for ~1hr and a half and was reading that Frostgorge Colossi were super amazing farm because of respawn and corrupted lodestones. I stayed in Frostgorge and farmed for probably an hour and a half maybe two and the most I got was 1 vicious claw and I think 6 large claws all in all netting me about 75s/2hr.

Does the loot DR carry over to other zones effectively gimping ALL loot retrieved directly from monster corpses or did I just have really bad RNG luck?

Also, is there a better farm than CoF? I’ve been desperately clambering for a good farm in this game which I know is relatively against Anet’s beliefs and as a mesmer it’s REALLY easy to get a group for CoF and blast through it. CoF is pure currency drops however and I’m lucky to get a rare every few hours whereas I get quite a few rares farming elsewhere with less currency dropping.

Thanks for the help ^.^

Yes, DR does carry over into other areas. My characters have all been hit with DR and I have not been able to shake it, even after doing dungeons, fractals, quests etc.

Unfortunately, diminishing returns, the heavy influence of RNG in mat acquisition in general, and the fact that no specialization is required to be a gatherer of lumber/ore/plants, are a part of WHY CoF is so optimal. The only thing as consistent as money drops from CoF, is the daily chest for world bosses giving a guaranteed rare.

I don’t ever remember getting loot DR but I move around a lot. However, I do remember killing a lot of those colossi and didn’t do very well off them at all.

On the other hand the skelk/skale/grawl and drakes in the zone I did okay off of.
