No rewards or drops in Defend Shaemoor - entire.
They changed it.. in the starter area there will be no drops/ karma to prevent farming. It’s a starter area where you shall leave as soon as possible.
I think they gave you a copper reward for completing the starter area? Can’t remember where I read about that, but they talked about these changes somewhere..
Sept 25 patch notes:
“Enemies in tutorial areas will no long drop loot. Instead, an award of 72 copper has been added to the rewards for completing the tutorial. This is to dissuade players from lingering in tutorial instances to farm the creatures in them.”
It is working as intended, according to the latest patch notes: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Update-Notes-September-25th-2012

OK, so even though the event succeeded I won’t receive anything but the shiny gold medal until I kill the elemental?
By the way, thanks for all the replies, it’s appreciated.
