Guild Wars 2

I was hoping to transfer to Gate of Madness but it’s currently only letting me transfer to only Henge, Ferguson’s, or Eredon. These are the only medium populated servers atm.

However, we were told we could choose from the following:

Eredon Terrace
Ferguson’s Crossing
Gate of Madness
Henge of Denravi
Northern Shiverpeaks
Sorrow’s Furnace

Does this mean I have to wait for Gate of Madness to have a medium population before I can get a free transfer?

Confused :/

Wow. Anyone else able to confirm this?

If true, people are gonna be pretty dismayed. To put as much effort as some of the players on here to only find out that yes, Final Rest was bugged all along and you wasted your time…not cool. Wish the devs would have been a bit more forthcoming about this, especially if this is legit and the staff isn’t so rare and has become yesterday’s news.

We did Zho Qafa last night with our all necro group, about 25-30 of us total and a few people that hopped in to tag along and no sign of the staff. The risen eye at the end hardly seems to be a unique boss imo. After doing this event, considering it kicks off fairly regularly, I am not convinced this is the place where the staff drops.

I am also surprised that so many people think the Zho’Qafa Catacombs is the place to farm. Let’s not throw all our eggs in one basket folks!

What about the High Priestess in the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance? I have never once seen anyone attempt this event on Darkhaven and I farm Malchor’s Leap for ori on a regular basis.

This is not an easy event from what I’ve heard…the Priestess goes invulnerable and spawns waves of veteran and lesser minions. And she’s also on a timer, so if she is not killed in a certain (unknown) amount of time she will reset and the cathedral will be locked.

I think at least a few of us should be focusing on farming the temple events in Orr rather than just everybody zerging Zho’Qafa.

I wonder if Taidha was mentioned in the thread where the devs say some people have been mentioning it.

Using the “search this thread” option at the top of the page, it appears that Taidha has been mentioned in only 12 posts. She is a definite candidate!

Here’s what I’m taking from Jeffrey’s comments today (btw thanks Jeff!):

He stated: “I’ve seen some posts that have correctly identified the specific event/boss”.

Keyword is “some”…note that he used it instead of “many”. (Refer to graph below)

I think we can safely remove the bigger guesses such as Zho’qafa Catacombs and Shadow Behemoth, and instead focus our attention on the less mentioned events such as Statue of Dwayna, the High Risen Wizard or Fire Elemental.

I’m going to go with the Risen Priest of Grenth. He’s the final open world event/boss in the game, and it seems to fit his loot table. It’s not an easy event and I’ve seen it fail many, many times (only completed it once myself).

If anyone wants to examine 14 pages of posts for “some” events…have at it!

Hello all,

I’m slightly tired and have perhaps drunk too much red wine, but I think I may have something which strongly indicates the whereabouts of Final Rest. Either that or it is a giant red herring.

I believe Final Rest is dropped from the chest that spawns when you complete the group event “kill the champion risen megalodon” by the Shipwreck Rock Waypoint at the southern most point of Orr.

The first clue is given quite clearly when you speak to the ghostly crew who have been shipwrecked, right by the waypoint. When speaking to crew member Sjoerd, he says “Orr is no place for the living. Not these days”, to which your reply is “You deserve to REST. May the Spirits of the Wild guide you to your FINAL reward” (my caps). See the attached screenshot.

The second clue is given when you speak to crew member Camelia, who stands by the water and says “I have been doomed to an eternity of constant, sleepless vigil by a monstrous megalodon shark….will you kill it for me?” i.e. will you help end her constant, sleepless vigil and help her to achieve Final Rest? See second attached screenshot.

No one ever does the Megalodon event because frankly it’s underwater and most people (that I know, anyway) avoid underwater combat wherever possible. Not only that but it is in the furthest corner of Orr where people hardly go anyway.

Strongly suggest people start checking this out!

Ok I just completed this event and can confirm NO chest drops from the Champion Risen Megalodon event. We killed the shark and looked all over but no chest. Even talked to the NPC ghosts again and they repeated their messages.

Also did Captain Rotbeard and no chest spawns from that event either, so can at least remove those two events out of the equation for now.

^^ Good stuff. Need to check the shark out for sure.

So we know that [Wisteria] is a rare level 80 drop from the Jungle Wurm. It has to be assumed that this is possibly the rarest item on that mob’s loot table.

That said, we have yet to find out what the rare items are on loot table’s for the Shadow Behemoth, Fire Elemental, and the Frozen Maw. There are plenty of other chests out there we need to work on, but this would be a great (and easy) place to start.

Also, make sure you’re on an 80 level character when fighting these mobs for a chance at the rarest item.

One thing I’m surprised hasn’t really been formulated by the GW2 community yet is a compendium of items that have dropped in Glorious or other “large” chests at each location. All of these types of chests have to have “very” rare items in their respective loot tables, many of which I’m sure have already been found…but they haven’t been documented on a consistent basis.

If we start documenting the loot tables of each large chest we can narrow it down to which one has the highest chance of getting [Final Rest] to drop.
