I’m currently polishing off my 4th lvl 80 character, only the first had any success with drops while leveling up. Using moderate MF gear only. Since upgrading to a full set of magic find armor, runes, and accessories i’ve seen at most 10 rare level drops, this is also true across all of my alt characters. Despite taking them all through map completion and into Orr for the Exotic armor from karma vendors. I’ve seen zero exotic item drops. I’ve killed many champions after long 1v1 and 2+v1 kite battles that drop at best a blue weapon. My armor while leveling up is only coming from three sources, Crafting, Map completion rewards from Alts, and chests from completing every single jumping puzzle in game. The only time i’ve seen armor drop with any frequency in my level and armor class is in wvwvw, and then typically when my character is low level and geared like a homeless person.
I spent over 10k hours in Gw1 grinding the tutorial in Presearing Ascalon for only a few potential rewards in titles and mob drops. Somehow this game has much more to do, and yet less to really enjoy.
My goal of leveling the first 5 character slots to level 80 won’t net enough gold in game to purchase the gems to buy a 6th slot to continue the adventure.
