Guild Wars 2

As i said, i dont think the name or looks of the staff has anything to do with were it drops TBH… All those events like Zho’qafa have been farmed SO MUCH the couple of months…

And, i dont think Anet decided to make this staff special like this, i think its just a random mob dropping it…

klesk.1790:

If you die in a boss fight like in Arah…youll probably be kicked instantly now and be replaced by a guarddian since their is no waypoints to rush anymore.

This is true, sadly. I am a necro, getting some TA gear for the looks, i was on one of my last runs, and one guy goes down (Some noobs tried to skip, which is hard on TA without stability) so he died, and one guy tried to kick him, atleast we didnt second it, so he stayed. But we tried again and the same guy goes down. Then someone seconds the kick and he gets kicked of the group.

I tried to tell them we shouldnt skip, and they agreed. They told ME to get on of the nightmare knights, since i can use spectral grasp and pull one, and so i did. But, the sorcerer used fear on me, and i got knockdowned by the knight i just pulled to me, and i die. So, i got kicked aswell.

So, people kick JUST because you die? really?, please Anet, fix it so the whole party has to the second the kick, not only 1 guy

I dont get it? People have been complaining about minion AI for MONTHS! When they finally fix it, you still complain? Seriously, you got what you asked for, no start complaining about other things, so they will get fixed in the future

Thanks! I have the patch, but i tried to deactive all my virus program and firewalls and it worked!

thanks

Seriously… This comes up everytime i want to play. I have been waiting for 20 minutes, nothing happens. Anyone else getting this?

Nothing for incinerator aswell… but lets face it… It got all the needed effects

1. Light
2. Flaming hand
3. Footsteps

Better than nothing! Stop focusing on the negativ guys… Hey, Nothing was nerfed.. be happy!

This will just be a HUGE mess for orr farming… Seriously, i am going to miss so many chests, i would much rather run around spamming F in the dead bodies

“Areas, chests, and merchants in Orr now offer better rewards.”

Guys… You know what this means? Bigger chance to get final rest! (if it is dropped from orr!)

They also patched the shadow behemoth

Wow… just saw the patch notes, and the chests in orr now drops better items, number of risen is adjusted, better visual thing in the temples, new exotic items from the vendors..

Maybe the final rest will finally be dropped (if it is from orr)

Wow, sounds like its a reason to go to orr now!

Anyone else excited?!

Im not a charr myself, but my friend is. He keeps complaining about his shield, and i was like: “Get over it” until i saw it myself…

The shield is basically flying 1 meter behind his back. It doesnt even touch his body in one spot…. Its redicilous

Zogyark.4597:

5 months and still not found? I think we need a better hint… I mean not even legendary recipes were as rare or forged weapons.

I think people are thinking to hard on this one.. I dont think the name, style or something with the staff has to do with the location it is dropped. People have been farming all the events that is related to the staff for months now… its not from any of them…

According to the hints, with big chest etc. i am going to farm the huge giant wurm in caldeon forest. Rarely any level 80’s do that event, yet it drops a chest just as bigged and packed with loot as the dragon chests

By thinking “It got to be related to the name, the gargoyle or something! It must be a hint!” We are simply just limiting the search, and i think thats bad. I hihgly doubt Anet was like: “OK, this weapon is special! We have to make it so its hard to get, and it will be dropped from *. The staff will be called final rest, so people can get a hint at where it is”

So, my point is: we shouldnt be searching for gargoyles, or stuff thats related to “Final rest” all bosses might drop it. Lets say it drops from the shatterer (Which is doesnt, since his farmed like crazy) but hey, NOBODY think it does, simply because its impossible to related him to the staff. But look at tequatl. he drops these sylvari flower kitten… How the heck is tequatl related to sylvari flowers?

My bets are this:

1. WvW bosses

2. The huge wurm that spans in caledon forest, right outside of TA. No level 80’s seems to do this, aswell as a HUGE chest i dropped. You get alot loot, like dragon chests. That much loot, so it is indeed a large chest.

Dont know, but im gonna farm it

Ok so to clarify things:

1. I have NO IDEA how WvW works, but my guild mate which does alot WvW told me that basically all rof guild moved servers, because we were loosing. He told me its like this everytime, and people have said so.. But apparently, thats wrong.

2. I know for a fact that we have been fighting Gunnars Hold for the past month or so… The matchups have never changed. I have been trying WvW for like 4 weeks now, everytime i join, we are against GH.

But oh well.. i just wait for like 2 years until the match up changes, believe me… i know ANet, they wont change the match up, because they dont see the problem. They are probably on GH themselves, so they are “Pfft! This is balanced!”

I will probably never get my map completion -_- i cant even get it on MY SERVERS BORDELANDS!

But fingers crossed for the next update, hopefully, the match up changes

Thanks for the Info all

Hey! So, i play on the ring of fire server ok? i have a guild here (Not WvW, but.. Everything, like a chatting guild etc.) And i am going for a legendary, which means i need 100% map completion + 500 badges. I have 147 badges, but then it stopped. Why?

Because ALL the big WvW guilds on ring of fire and whiteside ridge changed to Gunnars hold. We have no chance in WvW now

This is how it looks like: (note, what i mean with points is like keeps, towers etc. Like things we own, INCLUDING the spawn citadel, which we cant loose)

Ring of Fire: 3 points (Citadel + 2 other points)
Whiteside ridge: 2 points (Citadel + 1 point)
Gunnars Hold: The rest…

Gunnars hold have like 98% of the points, so we have no chance. I think they are leading like 330K points to 20k or something! I will NEVER get map completion if it continues like this. If i step one single step out of our citadel, i will get killed by a massive zerg.

And, now… When they remove free transfer, means these big guilds wont change back to their original servers, so this is how WvW will be for the rest of the lifetime of GW2….

So, please! Switch it up, we cant fight against Gunnars hold anymore… Seriously, it has been like this for the last week, we have NO commanders, NO, big WvW guilds, NO DEFENCE! Since all the “Pro’s” changed server

Hope you can see the problem… If not, go to the ring of fire server, and join WvW… Good luck with map completion

Kain Francois.4328:

What about Jumping Puzzle chests instead of dynamic events?

They said “Specific rare BOSS” so, its a boss, not JP

If i found it, the first thing i would is, Screen shot it… Then USE IT! Even though it would become soulbound. Simply because i am a necro.

And then i would tell you guys were i found it

Silver Fox.5632:

Please look at tp harder.

“[…]can’t even find any Destroyer Torch up on the TP last I checked.”
That image doesnt do much good; after 2 days since I made the Torch & it wasn’t on the TP, I stopped looking. Lets use another example then… the Legendary Focus: Minstrel. It doesn’t appear to be on the TP as of typing this sentence, but there’s been a thread about showcasing it and a couple youtube videos using it.
So in short, don’t use the TP as a means to gauge if something exists, as it’s pretty unreliable.

Also edit: Of course they’d say a specific boss. Little ol’ Corrupted Wolfmaster doesn’t drop a Glorious Chest. Nor does that giant Kol in eastern Harathi. Or the various Krait Witches I’ve seen around. So by definition, Fractal/Dungeon bosses & Dragons are indeed specific bosses (and boy talk about rare, it takes 10 minutes for that champ to respawn in Wayfarer, where there’s only about 6 dragons a day!).

Dude… The reason the minstrel isnt on the TP is not because no people have it. WE KNOW ALOT PEOPLE HAVE IT. But nobody has ever listed it on the TP… Nobody has ever tried to sell it, like the final rest!

You and your friend is a big liar… If he really sold it on the TP, it would be there, so we could add offers

Learn how the game works before starting lie and seem smart

I am going for the dagger. I love dagger on necro, best weapon IMO. Aswell as its probably the one that has the best “necro look”

I think guesting will make some servers dead… Imagin if my server (Ring of fire) maybe like 40% of the players there, will be guesting on another server. That kind of forces me to do the same.

Aswell as guilds… Now, EVERY single guild member of my guild is in the ring of fire server. So, after this, maybe everyone is going to be on different servers, and we would have no communication in game at all. Only through guild chat.

It is a great idea, but i think it will “ruin” some of the great team play with guilds etc.

Homonavn.6348:

Its not from fratcals… This weapon was in the game (Well… Lootables) before fractals came out. People were searching for it before the update

I can confirm it is in fact from Fractals. I had found mine in the reward chest for completing the Urban Battlegrounds Fractals. There’s absolutely no reason Anet would make this one particular exotic mind numbingly hard to get.

oh yeah? So you have the final rest? Show me a pic, or you lie

My main is a necro. I LOVE IT! Simply because of the AOE support + damage it can deal. If you use a dagger mainhand, its has pretty good DPS aswell as the number 2 skill siphon health. Compared to well bomb and bone minions, you can deal some pretty good AOE damage.

In that video, notice how fast the 3-4 risens die? I mean, all of them die pretty fast

But… I got killed by a engineer, because he had turrets helping him! It was like a 5V1! ITS OP!!!

Well, i didnt really get killed by an engineer, but that would be something Anet would think was OP

Its not from fratcals… This weapon was in the game (Well… Lootables) before fractals came out. People were searching for it before the update

Azlidax.9753:

Mr Sharp said the following in a post;

“No prob. Some classes have a ton of AOE, while others don’t have as much. So we’re not just going to do a blanket nerf to all AOE – that’s not fair to all classes. We’ll go on a class by class, weapon by weapon basis.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Is-AoE-actually-a-problem-Discussion-Thread/page/4#post1237623

And as I’ve said, we may need to tone something down in one area of the game, but it may be totally fine in another area.

For some weapon sets, the AOE options may be too strong compared to the single target options, which is what we aim to address."

Ha! Great news! Lets just hope necro is on the list that wont get nerfed!

They did say something about all AOE damage or something long the lines of that… Wich does kind of mean wells, epidemic, marks etc. Aswell

Zogyark.4597:

@ TheMaskedParadigm – Hey man, If you read a few posts back I got the opportunity to explore path 4 and posted my findings but I’ll post them again for you.

I just finished path 4, only thing after Simin is a couple of champions and the legendary giant, this event is pretty tough, we finished it but when the cannon charges it kills the giants, didn’t try to hit them cause I thought they’d be left alive so I guess if anyone can confirm if they actually can be killed without the cannon then the loot wud have to come from the giant because no chest spawned after the event. If not i’ll try it myself next time i do the path.
Another interesting thing I found is a POI named Zhaitan’s Rest, nothing special about but the name, BUT if you look closely at the zoomed out map there’s an arrow pointing to it? I’m just seeing things now…
Attachments:

The attachment can be found on the original post. Anyway I did kill the champion risen knight, you also fight one in the beginning. Though these look like gargoyle someone suggested undead harpies and it does make more sense since they have sort of the same animations and body shape.

People have talked about Zhaitans rest in this thread a long time… You must be new to this thread

Knox.3748:

well OP uses wells on single target so thats what anet wants to prevent. So yeah, they will touch the Necro as well as ALL classes who use aoes. gg

No i dont? I use dagger for single target… No wells

But tbh… the only thing that keeps me from playing on my necro over my warrior, is that i LOVE the AOE necro have. Orr farming, dungeons etc. The AOE is so funny. It doesnt even hit that hard, i just love numbers!

But if they nerf it, i will know for sure it will become usueless. Aoe damage is so much fun, atleast with wells + marks combined when alot of risen attack.

Think about it, how are necro’s doing to deal damage after the nerf? Using a dagger mainhand? Nothing wrong about it, but this is a “mage” class, so it shouldnt be needed to use dagger.

Scepter? Terrible damage, only good for bleed. But condition build is the worst thing i know… Its so boring and in dungeons the enemies will always have the bleed limit anyways.

Axe? No… Just noo… the axe auto attack is the worst kitten i have ever seen when it comes to DPS

Staff? No. Its getting nerfed…

So, the necro will be dead, all other classes will be better

Im rolling a thief IF this patch nerf the AOE’s on necro. Since i KNOW the thief will only get buffed, not nerfed

Me personally, i hope they stay as they are. because this build works great for Orr farming etc.

Seriously.. I am a necro, and i love it. But the thing is… The only build i REALLY like is the wellomancer. So this build is based around wells.

Seriously.. I am a necro, and i love it. But the thing is… The only build i REALLY like is the wellomancer. So this build is based around wells.wells are AOE. I use 2 wells wich is 2 utility skill slots. And, as my primary weapon, i use a staff. The staff’s number 2, 3, 4 AND 5 skill are all AOE. Thats 6 skills i use, wich are AOE. If you nerf AOE, you will basically kill the necro…

Holy kitten, the wells aswell.. Oh god… My build is like… Staff + wells

Anet, if you do this… AHHH!!

Well with the AOE nerf, good bye staff… Yup, they just killed necro for me. I LOVE the staff… If they nerf it, i will just roll another character, after 300 hours on this one

What is the nerf excactly? I missed that part :s Because seriously… I use a staff all the time on my necro, if they nerf AOE, they nerf the number 2, 3, 4, 5 skills…

Terrible Anet!

So… i just watched the live stream, and they mentioned AOE nerf. They said something about ELE’s but does that AOE nerf affect Necro’s? If so… Im seriously quitting my necro.

EDIT: Are you nerfing wells aswell!? How are the necro supposed to burst, give support or even survive without wells? wells are like the number one source for AOE, support and damage for a wellomancer like me… I tried condition build, its not for me… DONT TOUCH THE NECRO

What about the staff? Its going to be USELESS Absoloutely useless… I love the staff for its AOE, great for farming in orr etc. Staff is my primary weapon.

Seriously

Stop complaining about your ELE’s with 1 or 2 AOE attacks… What about us necromancers?

ALL our staff skills are AOE. except the number 1. But Skill number 2, 3, 4 AND 5 are AOE…

Good fight necro…

Can we please get some for information or hints on the final rest? Please

DEAD?! If you go to “World selection” you will every server are “highly populated” or “Very high” and alot are full… You should check before making threads like this

Lonewolf Kai.3682:

I keep seeing run dungeons for gold, but how does tokens translate into money?

First thing to remember. Running dungeons give you money for the chest and loot, but this is how tokens get to money:

When you get tokens you can buy armour. You should buy the rare helms wich is 30 tokens each. Then you either:

1. Salvage them for glob of ectoplasm (Not recommended because i am PRETTY sure they nerfed it. For me, i have salvaged 14 hoods in the last days, with only 2 globs)

OR

2. Mystic forge them. Buy 4 hoods, throw them in the mystic forge, and get another rare or maybe even exotic out of it. I did this, and on my first try, i got an exotic to 2 gold

Another way (not recomended unless you do dungeons ALOT) Buy the exotic greatsword. They cost 330 tokens per ( i think, its around 300-330 atleast) so buy 4 of them, and forge them. You will garanteed get an exotic greatsword back, and if you are lucky, you might get Dusk to 500+ gold or maybe dawn to 400 gold +

roperratt.6917:

I don’t play a necro, and I don’t want to, but I would like to find this weapon. I am going to try for the shadow behemoth. He seems to be the rarest boss in the game. I have spent as much as 8 hours at a time trying to get him to spawn. He hasn’t spawned on some servers for days at a time. When he does spawn, there is a chance you can’t target him. I think that qualifies him for a rare boss event, and he has a large chest. If I do find the weapon, it will be on the TP, 1000 gold.

You do know that will be mayve 100 gold in just listing it? Isnt it 10% of the price? So using 100 gold on listing it, and not even knowing if someone is gonna buy it, is not smart

Hmm… BUT, that doesnt mean it cant be obtained from a boss. If so, that boss i probably the same that drops final rest

Guys, there is a bow called: “Final curse” Does someone know where that bow drops? Because then it is most likely final rest is in the same place.

Someone has final curse, because it is listed in TP for 2 gold and 69 silver. If you preview it, it has the same style as final rest. Some grey-ish colours etc. Aswell as the name is “Final curse” wich is similar to “Final rest”

Couldnt find any information about final curse on the internet ;s

Well true, but in iron marches, there is this guy called “Killn” wich died a long time ago. At his grave, alot people have gathered and they are searching for “A rare artifact wich he has left” wich supposedly is around in that area.

Killn’s ghost has been spotted in the hills around the area searching for his armour, wich he found, but he did not find his weapon. Wich may be what he left for his kids, wich is what they are searching for,

This may not be the final rest, but there is a possibility. I will search around ascalon for hints, talk to NPC’s etc. for gargoyle info.

Well… I found something interessting while reading through the lore.

“1185 AE Gargoyles mysteriously vanish from Ascalon.”

So, the gargoyles dissapeared from ascalon. Does this mean the “Gargoyle” place is ascalon. Then i think we all should explore ascalon a bit more. Might be something in that place. And as zapan linked, the concept art of a HUGE gargoyle. Why make a awesome concept art of a gargoyle, if they arent in the game?

I am going for a legendary, so do MF work on badges? Do i get more often, because i want to know if i should use omnomberry bars or not…

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

RumStein.6859:

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…

Yes, thats what he says on the wiki, and when copying in the code, but remember… That might not be right. Since NOBODY has it yet, we cant be 100% sure. But it most likely is

Final rest, master of hide and seek… Millions peoples searching for, and we still have no clue where it is hiding.. Anyways!

I have 2 theories.

1. It might be in WvW because its a huge world, lots of hidden areas, not many people go to WvW to explore and search for things. AND, they might have put it in WvW just to make things like this happen… Speculation. Simply because Anet KNOWS we arent going to think of WvW when he talk item drops. BUT think about it… In WvW we do get PvE drops, and it might aswell be a good hidden boss somewhere…

Theory 2: THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTTING THING, WICH PEOPLE DONT THINK ABOUT!

Don’t say “It got to be a lvl 80 zone, because the staff is for lvl 80” Thats wrong… Mainly because:

- The staff is not found yet, we have NO idea what level it is (Even though it is most likely level 80)

- Low level bosses drops exotic items for level 80.

So this is interessting facts… Because since low level bosses drops items for level 80, and only level 80 people will be able to get it. But how many level 80’s farm level 15 bosses? NOONE!

Lets say the shadow behemoth and why that could be a possible dropper.

1. The chest he drops can contain level 80 exotics. (I highly believe)
2. The boss is BIG! Like very big, so if they GM means “A BIG boss chest” like in big boss, this fits perfectly.
3. No level 80’s farm that boss, mostly level 1-40 do, since all level 80’s are in orr. This means noone has a chance to get the staff, because level 40 players wont get level 80 exotics.
4. Its “Shadow” behemoth, and look at him. He sure looks evil, and the staff has this “Evil” theme to it.
5. If you go to guildwarstemple.com and look at the timer, its always outdated, meaning nobody are farming the event like they farm dragons…

So, some of these points are good IMO. Like, not alot high level players kill low level bosses. And high level players are the only ones that are able to get the staff. So therefor, we can say the low level bosses are not killed alot.

If you get my point. To get the staff you have to be level 80, and not many 80 players go around killing level 15 bosses

Just thought of something… It MIGHT be possible its a WvW drop… right?

Might be a hidden boss somewhere on the WvW map, because people dont go to WvW to explore and discover secrets like this… It might a secret boss somewhere on some of the WvW maps

Hmm, i have NEVER done arah so this might be completly stupid, i dont care.

So, that picture with “Zhaitans rest” is pretty interesting. It made me think, when doing arah story can you access that place? As far as i know, zhaitan is ONLY in the dungeon in story mode, so maybe there is something there?

OR

Since its zhaitan’s rest, it clearly means something with zhaitan. Maybe its just were zhaitan were asleep for all the years, but i thought that was underwater? OR maybe even, in story when you kill zhaitan, he fall down. Maybe that POI is were he lands? Is it possible to get of the airship and go to the POI AFTER zhaitan is defeated? It might be a bonus chest or something down there…

Zapan.7460:

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Artesian_Waters is considered a mini-dungeon? 0o just for finding it or the door at the end of the hall? http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Forgotten_Stream Has anyone found the door to be open at a certain time (after an event; not during story mode)?
I’ve always found the door to be closed (very infrequently visited).

i think you might be onto something right here! Isnt that the place, were we kill the eye of zhaitan aswell? In the story. The last mission before zhaitan? if im not mistaken, trahearne calls that “The heart of orr” or something…

This is an interessting theory!
