Regular monsters that drop greens? Such as Grawl for the Ice Breaker...Or more focused the Peacekeeper/White Mantle of WiK for weps/minis and the Elite MoP for green webs?

Normally the text reads: "Players will also have double the odds of receiving green items from bosses." Which means no, the WiK and other non-boss dropped greens won't have a double drop rate.

Even if they did have a double drop rate, twice nearly nothing is still nearly nothing. Since WiK began I have done the weapons fetch with 5 to 7 characters nearly every day and have maybe 4 or 5 green drops in all that.

Tbh like wilebill said - the normal drop chances are so low that double the chance is still so small it hardly makes any difference tho saying that one place thats so easy for drops gets even easier and thats grenths footprint but those weapons are common and almost worthless.
I can remember once ( bk when sf was buffed ) i decided to spend a few hrs farming dwayna grace solo and in those few hrs along with the x2 green chance i got bugger all - well cept several damn lulus spear.
Ive probably got more ectos in a year ( i rarely go and farm ectos ) than i got greens in a yr including x2 drop weekends.

Since we don't have any confirmation either way from ANet (this question has come up in the past), there's simply no way to tell. The chance is so small that you can't really test it.

Simply put, we don't know.

Does this work for Charr Bags in Presearing?
