Patch Notes November 15th


The mighty Zommoros has slightly increased the drop rate on Legendary precursor weapons from the Mystic Forge from both Rares and Exotics.

The drop rarity of Rare and Exotic weapons from certain places in the world (champions, veterans, and players in WvW) has been increased. Rares and Exotics should be much more likely to drop and every champion should be guaranteed to drop loot. This was to ensure that world loot drops were not a significantly worse way of acquiring rare and exotic items than crafting and running dungeons.

The amount of loot that drops for downscaled players has been increased. You should now be able to receive level-equivalent loot until you are fighting at a downscaled level that is less than 2/3 of your actual level. You should also receive loot a greater percentage of the time as well as receiving a greater percentage of experience, gold, and karma. For level 80 characters, this means level 55+ areas will be able to drop level 80 gear and give about 75% or so of the other rewards. Previously, these areas would give level 77 gear at best and closer to 60% or so of your rewards.

Awesome scavenger hunt feeling!

Why are people complaining about the Mad King rewards?

I have the full Mad Kings MF set – I am not getting any of the legendaries or even the precursors from the chest, only some silly greens. Something must be seriously bugged indeed…

Mystery Tonics, Mad King Chests and Boosters

Hello everyone,

For the people that not yet know and destroyed their Mystery Tonic(s) there is a way to get Mystery Tonics without spending gems on the cash shop.

Level 400 artificers can create Mystery Tonics keep in mind though that these are also soulbound like the BLC tonics – so you will need to be a level 400 artificer yourself to make this work.

This means the only limiting factor on getting Mad King Chests are the boosters that are needed. As a side note neither the killstreak boosters ( bug? ) nor the pvp glory boosters ( as intended? – as they are not BLC ) work. All the other boosters do seem to work – however I recommend hanging on to your karma boosters

One word of advice:

Overall the chance of getting one of the halloween skins has remained the same!! Basically you are getting a 2nd chance in using your BLC materials – don’t expect miracles from the Mad Kings Chest or guaranteed skins as this is not the case. You will need to judge by yourself if spending the boosters is worth the gamble….

There are 3 recipies for creating mystery tonic as an artificer, only one creates the actual needed mystery tonic – the other two options won’t work:
