Your friend is yanking your leg, you do not get ascended items from map completion.

I misspoke. I said, ascended, I meant exotic. We both got 2 exotics each……sorry for the confusion.

So, I’ve played ~300 hours on my warrior, run dungeons in Exp mode on a nightly basis, run FOTM from time to time and I have yet to find or receive a single item even worth 1 gold.

I have perhaps %10-%20 MF gear on depending on what I’m wearing and I always have a Peach Tart or Omnoberry bar active.

I run with people who farm these dungeons and it doesn’t seem to be a problem for them. For instance, I ran COF path 1, 2 and HOTW path 1 last night. None of use had much MF equipment on, but we all ate MF food. They each came out with 3-7 gold ahead at the end of the night, I may have made around 1 gold total for all 3 dungeons.

In another situation, a friend and I map completed Frostgorge Sound. He get’s 2 exotic items worth 13 gold between the two of him. For completing the exact same map, I get two items that aren’t even worth 2 gold between them. WTF?? I find this happens to me consistently where I’ll farm ARAH path 3 like 20 times and get jack and the people I run with find at least Rare’s if not some ascended items.

I understand there’s an element of randomness to the loot drops and understand it’s place. However, I’ve never seen it so disproportionaly bad between what I experience and what others experience in any other game.

Is there something I’m missing?

Which Ascended Amulet and which infusion.....

I am getting a ascended ring personally…

Probably go for utility, probably the MF20%…

Careful, as far as I know only amulets have utility infusions, not rings.

Meaning if you’re interested in doing higher level FOTM runs, you’d invest in the agony reduction instead?

So, those of us collecting Laurel’s are probably 4-5 days away from being able to buy an Ascended Amulet and I was just curious what everyone’s thoughts are on which amulet and what you plan on infusing it with.

I personally plan on buying : http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Distinguished_Circle_of_Logic

and am leaning towards the 20% magic find infusion since the +5 power/vit/etc, you would get otherwise doesn’t seem valuable to me.

I’m thinking this way because I’m a crit-build Greatsword warrior and I’m already pretty tanky as I am (in full Melandru gear….power/vit/tough).

However, there’s a lot more people a lot more knowledgeable than I so I was wanting to solicit other’s opinions on the subject.

Thanks in advance for any input and/or advice provided.

Combo Killer

It’s been bugged aside, the Combo Killer achievement is a really poor idea for a Daily Progress award because it forces you to try and team up with someone which I think is a ridiculous idea in the first place…..if I want to run around by myself for the day and get the DP, I should be allowed to. Not only that, it forces you to kill things in a very specific manner which is completely ridiculous. Give me a general goal like “Kill 20 veterans” and allow me to play the game the way I want to, not “Kill 20 Veterans by using the following Key Combinations 1-1-1-2-3-1”. :p

New Dailies

Count me in as someone who does not care for some aspects of the new dailies. I don’t mind them being dynamic, but some of them are tedious and detract from game play like "Combo Killer’ which is just a ridiculously stupid idea. Others like crafting, reviving, etc. I don’t mind and others like Kill Variety, Veterans, etc. I think are good ideas. Bottom line, don’t force us to play the game a very specific way like Combo Killer does in order to achieve the DP.
