Also, this definition of exploiting…
Are you specifically aware of Anets design intentions for everything?
I think completing dredge fractal above level 30 at all is out of their intention.
Therefore, if you complete the dredge fractal at 30+, you are exploiting.
While you can’t make a lot of money doing any jumping puzzle, your best bets are:
Level 75-80 JPs – They will always drop high level items, which can be rares or exotics sometimes (a friend got a Dusk from one…).
Level 19-29 JPs – These have a chance of giving you Silver Doubloons, which sell for over 50s each. They can only be found from lvl 19-29 chests, or some small loot bags.
In terms of ACTUALLY making money… I’d probably do anything else.
I don’t get all the complaining about Adnul. I got it first try, even though it was a long fight…
Here are my experiences when farming this event:
-People initiate the event, and begin farming it.
-Others join.
-Some people want to go to Arah, but heaven forbid they guest!
-Farmers inform the people wanting to finish the event that it is open on X server, and they can guest there to enter Arah.
-Dungeon runners refuse, demanding that people finish the event.
-Farmers keep farming, tensions are high.
-Event completer dies, spurts abuse, gets revived by farmers.
-Abuse is traded back and forth between the two groups.
Here’s the thing.
CoF is good to make money (it’s pretty much exactly on par with this from my experience), but I’ve seriously gotten sick of CoF. (Would have completed it about 200 times by now…). Nothing else gives quite as much money.
The farmers have always been polite about requesting the others that they don’t attack the giant, and that they guest to X server where Arah is open, but they don’t want to! This is when abuse starts getting flung around.
True, sometimes it’s the farmers who become rude first, but other times, it is the “completors”.
What really gets me is when “white knights” decide to end the farm just because. There is a particular guild on Sea of Sorrows who will decide they just want to stop the farming. They don’t want to do Arah, they do not care about the chest event after, they just want to stop the people farming it. So they recruit in Lion’s Arch, and the event soon ends. After this? Sea of Sorrows people move to a low population server, and begin the event chain from scratch.
You know a solution to this entire thing?
Implement multiple ways around the game to earn ~10g an hour at 80. This is what you get from CoF and Gates. With only 2? Of course this is gonna happen.
Oh yeah, look forward to the CoF P1 nerf incoming soon. No more gold from repeated runs!
One more note: I like it how the person with the screenshots from page 1 actually had their bags full, and then empty in different screenshots, indicating that they were participating in the farm too. Nice one!

Dive Master achievement is bugged for me, stuck at 37/38, even after completing every one again.
Previously, I had completed all of the dive master achievements, however 1 of them had bugged (no idea which, was on 37/38).
Completed Aetherblade Retreat, got the diving point for 38/39.
Latest patch, Rata Sum was removed (possible 38), back to 37/38.
Completed ALL 38 again, and still haven’t got credit for 1 of them. Still 37/38.
Banana, this is partly true, but not entirely. There are more people going, yes. But there are people hopping servers to chain dragons together on all of their characters (Jormag 3 times in 30 minutes on 3 characters…). This is increasing the population, and denying the people that are actually from that server from participating.
Guesting (like many others) seems to be a good idea, implemented wrong.
I mean, I go to do a dynamic event with my guild mates (sure, a dragon or something), and LO AND BEHOLD… OVERFLOW. An overflow… in wayfarers, when there are no overflows even in LA.
Guesting is actually destroying the servers in my opinion.
-Guesting itself is a good idea, but it is implemented wrong. Wasn’t the point of guesting to allow people to play with their friends from a different server? I can’t even play with my friends in MY OWN server!
What’s gonna happen if we suddenly have a guild bounty to chase in blazeridge, and then Shatterer pops up? Our whole guild will be in an overflow aside from the person who found the NPC… Seriously.
I also hear they reduced the map population limits… which would contribute… The question is… WHY?

I don’t think is the Shadow Behemoth. He’s rare because he’s bugged, not inherently. He also is in a low level zone which would be odd to have an exclusive level 80 item drop. He has nothing to do with the name Final Rest or with gargoyles.
And what makes you think where the staff drops has ANYTHING to do with its name?
That’s the point I’ve been trying to make for the longest time. Does the names of the item (Dawn, Dusk etc etc) have anything to do with where it drops? Sure there will be exceptions, but I haven’t seen any confirmation that the name “Final Rest” has to do with where it drops. Heck, Bramblethorne drops in AC.
If every named exotic has to drop in a place to do with its name, that’s an awful lot of effort on ArenaNet’s part. Do you think such a task would be high up on their priority list?
I wouldnt be surprised if this staff is dropped from a completely random boss (with a chest), and only that one boss.
Wisteria drops from the Giant Grub in Caledon Forest (Unique Drop – Apparently forgeable, but without proof.)
Breath of Kralkatorrik drops from Shatterer
There is a unique drop from Tequatl and Jormag’s Claw, but I don’t recall their names.
YES. There are unique weapons that can drop from a single enemy.
There are other items too:
Colossus Fang, Claw of the Howling King, Bloodstone Shard… etc.
Precursors are NOT these exotics, nor are the named exotic armours, as they are generic, low-chance world exotics.
@Xalugami:
Point 1) An item cannot appear on the TP unless it has been LISTED once. This is why legendaries were never searchable until recently, and why Final Rest is not there (It may very well have been found, by someone who used it and never came onto the forums to realize how valuable it is). Clearly noone has listed
Point 2) The devs said “specific (rare) boss”, and “LARGE boss chest”. Just in case you didn’t check a dictionary, specific means: “Specific: restricted to a particular individual, situation, relation, or effect <a disease specific to horses>”. I.e. It will come from one source (Akin to Wisteria). Also note that fractal bosses are in no way, shape or form, RARE.
Point 3) If he truly found it, and listed it, he’d be pretty kitten dumb for listing it for 8g when there are ZERO on the TP (meaning he can set the price). IF he did, he could have googled “Final Rest GW2” and seen how much people want it. Easy 400g.
Point 4) As in the rest of my post above, some bosses DO drop unique loot, available only in 1 place.
Point 5) Final point… If someone has truly found it, SCREENSHOT IT, otherwise you are just going to be labelled a troll as is happening here.
SS or Bullkitten.

Begging is kinda gross…
Also, AFAIK, there are no other pieces of gear in the game that drop only from one place; even legendary precursors can drop from dozens of different locations.
Incorrect, there are multiple pieces that are one location drops only.
Exotic Jewelcrafting recipes from dungeon bosses (Howling King, Colossus Rumblus, etc)
Wisteria (Focus, from Giant Wurm in Caledon only)
Etc.
These are just a few examples (if they arent in fact unique and can be obtained elsewhere, please, do let me know).
RNG ftw.
Collect enough Coriander for an Unid Gray… Get Icing. Buy more for another… Get Abyss.
Open 1 normal Unid dye… Celestial.
But no, RNG is RNG, I wouldn’t craft rare unid gray dyes ever again…
I am a new possible theory! (I know i get new ones all the time, but i actually have “proof” for this one)
1. This thread is in the crafting forums, it has been for a long time. The moderators would have closed it or moved it, if it didnt belong here, wich means it CAN be crafted.
2. What the moderators have said might actually be a hint to the recipe. With all the “Specific rare boss” Might hint to a specific rare boss ITEM, or something which is a part of the recipe. Is there a yellow/rare crafting material wich drops from bosses?
May be some hidden message in what the mods have been saying
Um, what? Have you even read the dev post?
You CANNOT make it.
This is only able to stay in crafting, because there is no other forum really suitable for it.
Homonavn: Have you even looked up the staff?
http://www.gw2db.com/items/68519-final-rest
ITS LEVEL 80! (So yes, we know it is level 80)
But yes, I was thinking of trying Shadow Behemoth too…
Zogyark, maybe try running multiple arah runs and checking everywhere? I would suggest that if it is a RARE boss, it won’t appear every run.
I’ll keep checking while I do arah.
My interpretation is:
“Boss” – An enemy mob that has an event to kill it specifically, and takes a group.
“Rare” – Not often found / Not found easily.
Whether that is rare because the opportunity for it is based on chance, or whether its rare because people RAREly do the event is a different matter.
What if zhaitan was already dead, and some other being revived him an created the risen (and likes to stay in the shadows)?
Interesting. Was that where the giants were?
The reason this event isn’t farmed is due to multiple reasons:
1- lots of prerequisites, and ~4 hours required to pass between the prereqs and final event.
2- bosses with high hp and toughness.
3- a little bit out of the way
4- LONG event chain to get a single chest.
5- no other real incentive
Dragons have little to no prereqs for a guaranteed chest.
Even the risen priests are farmed due to the access to karma vendors (especially Balth), whereas this one leads to nothing really.
On sea of sorrows, we now have a guild dedicated to farming it whenever it’s up (sure, it’s just to easily identify people from our main guild that want to run it…)
http://www.guildwars2guru.com/arenanet-tracker/topic/250277-final-rest-staff-not-on-loot-tables-bug/
Confirmed by 2 devs that it drops off a SPECIFIC (rare) boss (chest).
So clearly, the boss/event chain that this drops from is very rarely farmed.
(I’m gonna go with Zho’Qafa again, as it takes a long time, is out of the way, and gives no rewards except for 3 events and a LARGE CHEST [which they all usually have crap] – I mean, you have to wait 2-4.5 hours for the event to begin from the activation…).
Event timer begins when you kill 3 vets (if they arent there, they have already been killed).
3-4 hours after, NPCs (Warmaster) will appear dead to the east, under the feet of a champion abomination.
Killing that abomination will begin the event.
Are spineguards not being salvageable a bug?
Putting a gem in a lvl 80 spineguard, then having to waste a fine transmutation stone to recover it when you have a new back piece is a hassle. Or even upgrading to a fractal backpack, and then having a spineguard worth very little, but with a 50s gem in there I dont feel like vendoring it in case this gets fixed…
In addition, theres a bit of a feeling of exhilaration when you get a yellow in Fractals, only to look at it and find its a spineguard, so worth the same as vendor trash.
Especially when most OTHER backslot pieces are salvageable…
Could someone please confirm if this is intended (so I can give up and vendor the backpiece…)
(edited by RumStein.6859)
So my incinerator is almost finished… But I am not sure if I want to use it on my ele or my theif that I am currently levelling (Its seeming like a lot of fun with daggers).
I know the effects:
-Fire on footsteps
-Flaming arm
-Cool looking lightsaber/blowtorch
-Explosions on hit
My question is… Are some of these effects overridden by elementalist attacks/effects?
Does the fire explosion/splash occur on every attack in every attunement?
Does it make the fire attunement fire splashes bigger?
Is the flaming arm overridden by the attunement ring?
Are there other effects that I don’t know about?
Its just interesting that it is the only form of backpiece to not be salvageable (and not even a quest reward…)
(edited by RumStein.6859)
So I’ve noticed (mainly through fractals), that rare spineguards (Backslot) drop a lot.
This would be great! Except SPINEGUARDS are unable to be salvaged, or mystic forged…
I can salvage other backslots, just not spineguards.
Could you please clarify whether this is a bug, or working as intended?
Other spineguards cannot be salvaged either (have a green one with an exquisite coral gem socketed), which means you cant recoup the upgrades or anything.
(edited by RumStein.6859)
The addition of some extra armour and weapon skins would be a better option here I feel.
GW is “supposed” to be horizontal progression, which means instead of hunting for stats, you hunt for cosmetic changes.
Add skins to achievements, and voila!
All crafts will level you 10 levels at base experience generated.
However, that is neglecting critical hits (wvw buffs, guild buffs, boosters, etc) and experience gained from that.
Normally:
1-100 = 1 level
100-200 = 2 levels
200-300 = 3 levels
300-400 = 4 levels
Inserting an upgrade soul binds it.
Haha yeah right Lucas.
The hunt will be for the precursor, and massively increased demand for all T6 mats and lodestones will drive their prices up ridiculously.
For people that are reading this, wanting to transmute different stats onto the legendary. I recall reading somewhere ages ago, that if you transmute the stats on the precursor, those stats should carry through to the legendary.
I believe that is incorrect.
transmute a precursor and you won’t be able to make the legendary.
Katsumoto, in my grinding for badges (worst grind in the game), I was in wvw for over 59 hours in a week. In EB none the less. At no point did we make it near the blue keep, whereas we conquered the entirety of the borderlands. Some of the POIs I got by racing in when it changed hands between the other two teams, but this keep? Doesn’t really happen.
Conjured weapons are pretty pathetic and could use a rework
Weapon swapping in combat for elementalists would be a terrible idea. 40 skills available In combat? Yeah… NO.
What they should do however is change it so that 1 attunement for each weapon has some form of long-ish (900) range. For dagger, increase lightning to longer range (as it is, whip requires perfect positioning…)
Maybe change lightning whip (it looks cool, but that’s it) to a magic dagger or something with 900 range.
Earth should be a dedicated short range for each attunement, with maybe one longer range, and lightning or fire as longer range.
First, lets point out that I don’t care for wvw in general. The only reason I do it is for the monthly achievements, the 500 tokens for gift of battle, and map exploration.
I have 3 POIs and 1 vista remaining for exploration, and guess where those are… Yes, Blue main keep and the other two closest. This is incredibly frustrating.
I would wait until my server changes tier, except I am from SoS and it doesn’t look like we will be moving anytime soon.
I would transfer server, wait a week and transfer back, but I dont think i could get back to SoS.
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting this exploration? It appears that the only way to do it is to wait for the off chance that the keeps get taken. I feel it would be smart if the borderlands were randomly assigned each week, rather than 3rd is always blue etc.
