rare drops in Ascalon??
I've been wondering if rare (gold) items drop in Ascalon??
From I've seen, rare items start dropping in the Northern Shiverpeaks (from the Summit Beastmasters), but I've NEVER seen a rare drop from a Charr or any other creature in Ascalon, people are saying they used to solo Nolani Academy, and that rare items used to drop there, but I've never seen a rare drop in Nolani, or any other place in Ascalon. Maybe I'm just very unlucky but I just want to have this clear ^^ |

I'm with the OP - the earliest I've ever seen a rare is Yak's Bend.

i think technically you can get a rare anywhere. the chance is just extremely small.
i've gotten purple drops from gargoyles (not armor though, only weapons) |

I think the only place where it's impossible to get a gold item is in Pre-Searing. I've had a couple of gold armors in Post-Searing Ascalon, if that counts too

My bf had a gold armour in the Nolani mission in the last beta, and I got one in the Surmia mission way back in the first week of play. So unless they changed it since then, it's possible.

You can get gold drops from a big group of charr that are under a bridge.
Ive got gold weapons there a few times, of course there never max damage but never the less there gold. |

I can confirm rare drops in Nolani academy. I used to get a couple every run(solo) when my monk was just a wee lil lad...usually from the ghosts in the bonus section.
That was a long time ago though, dunno if they're still dropping there on a regular basis. |

I have only gotten purple drops which really arn't that great, some runes from the armor, but never a gold item. If your looking for Gold LA and up would get you some gold.

chests have a tiny(i mean tiny) chance of dropping golds in ascalon and the chance starts getting higher the more expensive the key gets

I'd say Gold items in and around Ascalon are just as rare as Silver/Black dyes and Charcoal. Ruby's, Sapphires, and Monstrous Items are just crazy rare anywhere.
I've got 800 hrs in of playtime(and no i dont' leave my game idle), I've found ONE Monstrous Claw, ONE Sapphire, and ONE Rune of Sup Absorb. Only major thing I haven't found is a Sup Vigor. |
