Guild Wars 2

new build available in about 10 mins so maybe they will fix some if not the major bugs of people not being able to continue or start in my case! lol

its been a long time with no dev response for the major issue of people who are stuck no being able to play… come on guys just a heads up that you have seen it and are looking into it would be nice, all we need is a reset on the story tab, a button or even a hard reset for all who need it

I’m patched and makes no odds

stuck I have completed on warrior now but still cant on necro my main

Just a quick regroup of all the messages received from Jeffrey, so they are all in one place, i have stitched them all together on photoshop to make it easier to read as its a long conversation.

Excuse the QQ in some of the messages lol, trying to get us clues! lol

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

Hi, I just wanted to give an update. First, I’d like to apologize for setting off such a firestorm of speculation—I was trying to provide assurance that Final Rest is, indeed hooked up and working, but it’s not likely to have dropped yet. Like I said, the odds that I posted were a quick calculation after looking at the drop chance, how often the event runs, and other factors.

On a totally unrelated note, large event chests are being upgraded to make them more rewarding, so the odds of Final Rest and other rare items appearing should see an increase in a future update.

How often the event runs…a Clue?

To me this means its not activated by a player but in fact runs on a timer like the dragons, but on a much longer timer, any one know of any events which only run once a day (conventional day 24 hours not game days)? For me this knocks out Zho’Qafa as thats on a 15 min turnaround, i’m now leaning towards one of the less likely lore releated candidates

any servers got it up? just done ROF and underworld EU

ok the Zho’Qafa is up on ring of fire EU come and guest

ok Zho is up on Ring of fire and Piken guest on either, we are 3 ppl at ring of fire EU

Rainzar.6905:

doesn’t anyone think the supposed rarity of this item is just stupid?

I think the rarity is great, a chance for a player to actually be unique is so rare on this game, most 80+ all look the same, and with so few armor and weapon skins, i think its great they added things like this, my only issue is they made it too hard to find the location, make the loot chance as hard as they like but not giving any clues on location which makes it too hard to find

We need to focus on the events that have been listed more than once, then our list should have about 4 events (in theory) as someone quoting someone suggesting, to me is not another suggestion rather a thought on that suggestion so, if an event has been suggested by two different posts then this is an option, imo the best bets are:

1. Zho’Qafa! Now Jeff put “some posts” how many people actually suggested this and not just said i agree with so and so? On top of this how many times have you run it and how many people were you with? I reckon ive done it maybe 8 times each with 5 people or less meaning ive only knocked 40 times off the 200,000 times needed. lets say for arguments sake, i reckon 50 people with 5 man groups did it 10 times = chest looted 2,500 times thats only about 1.5% of how many times it needs to be done! meaning its not farmed at all!
2. Flame Temple Tombs (hardly ever run and its a mini dungeon, the boss is quite hard and its quite a complex set of requirements to get to the end, Lore could fit but a few things dont sit right for me, the chest is small, the boss is small and its not essentially open world because your portal to get into it)
3. Shadow Behemoth (was broken but…farmed to hell! I did it every 2 hours 6 times on one day and then 4 times every 2 hours the next day! I saw at least 6 people each time, meaning its chest it getting looted by a player on average somewhere around 60-80 times a day! on ONE server!!! so this could be more like a 1500-2500 times a day over all of the servers) Now Jeff said he thinks its not been done enough to warrant it dropping then i very much doubt its this as if the event has been working for over 10 days its reached its 200,000 in 10 days on average!

My math might be wrong as i typed it very quick but i think it shows how many people are wrong about the Zho’Qafa being farmed etc! and how moth is farmed to Death!

I run a Guild for people interested in finding it, you dont need to rep just there so we can look at the roster and ask if your free to do a run on one of the events, this is for EU servers just PM in game! the guild is called Lupi stole my pug, Thanks

guest on ring of fire pls, only two of us atm

Excelliate.7914:

If the drop rate is .0005%, that means it would take 200,000 chest openings on average…

yes on average! but it could come on anyone of those 200,000 average openings

just looked, they all run from a chain, as they are major events, again questioning what is the point in the Zho’Qafa event chain?… its so big with so many events and spawns a legendary boss! yet not a meta event, a dynamic! and needs so many variables to get it going…..if its not Final rest its something in those catacombs, they are looking for a very powerful artifact, and the eye is awoken from his rest, to then get outside and the dialog says we didnt find it but at least we killed a king…..i’m set on it being this, we just need to build up the guilds and start farming the hell outta it, im mean 50 man plus zerg then guest and do it again lol

its about time Jeffrey made an official post lol, we are at nearly 14th page, lets cheer him out!

zerofill.1980:

lukemorley.8602:

i reckon the Lore is part of it, they managed to tie simple things like emberspire to flame elemental in thurmanova and wisteria from jungle worm, they are bound to of tied a very rare weapon to an event meaning something, i read all the dialog from Zho’Qafa and am now pretty certain its that, i would even place a bet that when found the dialog changes! they come out and say we didnt find anything etc and that at least they killed a king, who says who dares awaken me from my rest. and if the rate is .0005 then it means it needs to of been done at least 200’000 times, ive done it maybe 20 times lol,

I was thinking Zho’Qafa too, but the “unique spawn” comment makes me think twice. That all depends on what he means by “unique spawn” though, as I mentioned in my last post: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Final-Rest-Current-Theories/page/12#post1469803

yeah i know what you mean but in one sense it is a unique spawn as its dialog is set to that event chain, but as a boss it uses the same model making it not unique…..hmmm

Ok some good news eventually!!! I think the disheartenment in a few of the posts after my response had a knock on effect, topped with my QQ PM to him, xD sorry Jeffrey, had to find out someway or another ;-)

Now we have a confirmed location! we just have to decipher which one! from all of the posts!! have a read!!!!

brb, editing my earlier posts to include every event in the game! /troll

Also – from your screenshot – do I dare ask what eroticats is?

its a website im working on lol, plus check it out its not as sinister as you may think! agency for promotional staff, a few nudee rudee bits but very very tame

btw any EU servers with the Zho’Qafa event up with the pact ready to revive by the champion abomination by [waywarde Waypoint] (in the middle of map right at bottom) of straits of devastation? ill come and guest and do it there so i can start a kind of farm run of it

May have forgotten some, I’m still combing through the posts.

You can ditch Keeper Jones, that’s the grenth event and it’s farmed a LOT as well as Balthazar. I doubt it’s catacombs IMO.

Large boss and Large Chest pretty much narrows this list down a ton.

loads of work in this, now we need to narrow it down to any that are only mentioned once as Jeffrey put a few posts with the correct location xD ill start on this too

arah opening :P

wow that was fast!

Ok, I have a guild who’s purpose will be the search for Final Rest on EU servers.
Guild Name: “Lupi stole my pug”
Home Server: Ring Of Fire (EU)
PM me for an invite.
Basic Rules:
1. All members will be officers. (Invite anyone interested in joining the search)
2. If you are free to quest for Final Rest simply rep the guild. This will allow other members to quickly identify those interested in running events by simply checking the guild roster. If you are busy doing other things, simply stand down and we will know not to bother you.
3. Have fun!

I will start to make a list and post possible locations on the guild message of the day, and any new info there too, will check back here often but if the OP could post about the NA and EU guilds we can really start to make headway on this!

Thanks again Jeffrey for the relentless questioning, probably not only by me! ;-)

Lets Get That Staff!!!

And btw Booger i nicked your post cus mine was crap! xD

this has its own event and its own dialog, well ideally we need to compile a list of every place someone has suggested and knock off any that only have one suggestion and see what we are left with,

But as it stands i think in best chances
1: Zho’Qafa
2: Bethemoth

Ok some good news eventually!!! I think the disheartenment in a few of the posts after my response had a knock on effect, topped with my QQ PM to him, xD sorry Jeffrey, had to find out someway or another ;-)

Now we have a confirmed location! we just have to decipher which one! from all of the posts!! have a read!!!!

If anyone wants to run Catacombs on NA servers, let me kno^^. I got tired of soloing it back before guesting sense it takes a while an no one else ever does it ; ;.~ (Or any other DE you might suspect)~

hi there, it seems as though lukemorley.8602 is on EU server so do we still need to organize for NA? or does someone have that covered? (btw, thanks for the invite lukemorley.8602 sorry i couldn’t help…)
If no one is handling the NA servers ill gladly help with that, just pm or whisper me.
lets get this staff!

Thanks for coming anyhow, should of put EU, xD

ok any EU servers with the pact team in need of reviving? you can check by going very close to [waywarde waypoint] usually contested but if its up pls let me know ill guest on your EU server to do it again, thanks

ok well im about to go and run a Zho’qafa if anyone can help the more the better xD

/w warluke magic in next 10 mins we start

Oh sorry, i forgot to mention i ran the fire elemental 3 times and i believe its unique loot is Emberspire, it dropped for my friend on the 2nd run xD

This may be wrong but it would make sense being a fire related boss to drop a fire staff, looking at just a few items its clear the placement of items is very key to the type of boss and this game and its loot is very cleverly tied together….

From my understanding….

Tequatl = Shard of the Deep
Frie Elemental = Emberspire
Jungle Worm = Wisteria
Emberglow = CoF Bonus event?

So… After seeing the PM i posted i really believe Zho’Qafa is our place! so its time to get using the join in map option! im going to be running this event when its up and as often as possible, now ive thought about it and Jeffery quoted we would need to run it thousands of times…..well there are a few of us, if 10 people run the event 2 times a day it will take 20 weeks, we make that 50 ppl a day per 2 runs, by rights we can find it in 20 days! the more ppl attend the events the better as each time is time consuming, im going to run this event in 30 mins just /w warluke magic and we meet at a wp and all join in one server then move to the next one where the event is up this way we could possibly farm run it over a few hours and do it 4-5 times and 30 ppl do it we should find it in days!!

Edit: also going to put up an lfg so if you could all ask in LA on your servers as would be nice to get a big zerg to hit the events just to show Anet how serious we are!

Ok,

Jeffery has cleared this up for us, i havent read it fully and properly but have a read, Btw Thanks Jeffery

anyhow forgetting the troll, msg me in game, we are going on a hunt tonight! if your free and just want a place to air your thoughts on Final Rest or just to chat PM me in game and ill invite you to my Guild which ill use just for Rare Weapon Collectors

GUESTING!!! I’ve got a guild which I run, we can use it to farm groups for it and chat about things there lupi stole my pug is the name pm me in game and I’ll invite you

Wings of Dwayna, Reaper of souls and a few others but im not sure

yeah, thats the trouble lol, such vague information which can be taken in many ways, would just be nice to confirm some of the existing dev comments, Any how Jeffery page 12! about time you made another appearance to keep up questioning ;-)

ive done the shadow a good 10 times over the last two days and not a single rare or exotic so far, but i think this is just my bad luck (i actually like it, in my head it means ill get lucky with what i want rather then getting loads of exotics to just sell xD)

Zho’Qafa doesnt sit right with me either, and ive looked into it alot, and run the event over my time on the game a good 10 times which doesnt mean anything, but so much does point at it!

Flame temple is interesting!

Looking at all the Dev comments maybe Lindsay was being literal, Maybe the Chest is called Large Chest?

ive sent him another, asking to define a “boss” as this is such an open ended question, if anything we need to confirm the details before we can confirm anything else, if we know what a boss is then we can start to narrow it down.

I’m also assuming from his non response to the open world question, it would give to much information away, so maybe it is in a mini dungeon which would obviously give it away straight away, And Jeffery i know you are reading these so here is your Scrutinising right here ;-)

another pm from dev, but doesn’t let us know much but keeping it up to date

ok another message from dev but doesn’t reveal much, but worth a look

oh i also PM’d so here it is….

oh also PM’d so here it is…

Ok well i think the named chest theory is out of the window…. Tequatl drops a dragon chest (i forgot the name but its the same kittenter’s one)

….so why is this relevant…well Tequatl drops a specific item in his chest even though its not named meaning the named chests bear no relevance to the loot table its tied too.

If you didn’t know he drops shard of the deep, this is not only on the wiki but i know of someone who has looted it from him

hmmm Flint….. for some reason i really really think you might have found it! if im honest it seems like hassle, most of it underwater and only active when the entire map has helped complete the meta event….to me they = a "rare"" set of requirements that most people would not even know about. I shall be taking a look at this event in a few hours or so!

lukemorley.8602:

ok the only named chests are(that are LARGE as Lindsay put)….

Ancient Chest – Megadestroyer
Demonic Chest – Shadow behemoth
Frost Chest – Jormag
Swamp Chest – Giant Jungle Worm

Now i had this thought yesterday which is why i made a list and also have started a list of every single group event in every map (only from wiki so will need testing etc)

When i looked at the list of named chests i thought this is going to be easy! then i had a daunting thought…Tequatl drops – Shard of the deep…from a unnamed chest (splendid or whatever its called but its basically the same kittenterer’s chest) now that means no matter what the chest name the loot table is specific to the boss not the chest name or identity, correct me if im wrong?

But on that note i believe it could be Megadestroyer or Benemoth as both rarely get done…and as for all you guys says they it got farmed in beta (well its beta! nothing worked properly! let alone a loot table on a specific chest from a specific boss! Which BTW they said they were not going to do, the whole anti farming one boss malarky etc)

Ive personally not done Megadestroyer so ill be looking to farm this soon, but i have run the moth 4 times tonight and its now on a pretty good 2 hour turnaround, just make sure the brewing one is started on the escort, and that the corrupted oakheart is down at the end of the 2 hours, dragontimer is up to date at this point of post

When are you going to fix the drop rate on Final Rest? Seeing as to my knowledge it has not been looted by a single player on any server (clearly broken)
