Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

I play a level 80 D/D or staff elementalist in WvW, and I am having a very difficult time getting loot bags and badges of honor in WvW. I was wondering if you could give me some tips for maximizing my lot bags. I have around 580 kills with around 30 badges.

Thanks

I figured out that playing in group and even squads give substantially more badges. For instance, yesterday played with my guild during 2h30 I a got more badges than I would get alone in a day.

I hope it helps.

Peace

Playing in a ~20 man guild group will do wonders for your Badge farming. When grouped you will tag more people and as such get additional bags overall.

Honestly, there’s no great “trick” to Badge farming, it directly relates to the number of kills you get. Farming unorganized and weak zergs with a guild group gives you great Badges. Additionally, the JP’s are very quick to do and give guaranteed Badges.

From guild WvW, this is my stash so far.

I too seem to have a hard time getting badges. And I’m usually in a party, and often part of a “zerg” I get plenty of kills, but it feels like my kill/badge ratio is worse than 50/1.

Maybe I’m just missing bags because I’m moving a lot and by the time they’ve spawned I’ve moved on?

does magic find affect the chance of badges dropping (I have 0 MF when in wvw)

with D/D ele u have a high chance of missing ur bags since ur constantly on the move weaving in and out of enemies. often someone u have tagged dies while ur in the enemy zerg and ur 2 busy in there to even notice, and then when u do see it ur out of the area and u got loot inside enemy zerg.
i am at ~11k kills and i gotten some 2.3k+ badges if i estimate in me using some badges for seige. so i am at about 1/5 chance for badge(u can count the # of times i did jp on 1 hand)

Ive taken some numbers this week and for me I get badges in around ratio 1 badge per 5 kills. This is from set of 5668 kills.
