all that from 1 hour's farming? I don't think so.

Ok, you tell me how I can "prove" it and I will? What don't you believe, that I got three Sup. Absorbs or that I can get 10-20 golds in an hour?

Yes, the Absorbs must have been luck, but then again, your chances are now 1:26 of getting one instead of the previous 1:52. And Anet specifically said they increased the chances of getting both Absorbs and Vigors. It's even listed in their update.

Believe what you want...

The last 30 or so gold armors I've identified have turned out as major runes, even ones from other mobs than ettins. No, I am not kidding.

I love my luck. :')

Anyway, there have been many threads about how the ettins were nerfed/unnerfed. How do people still not know? >.<
That would strike me as funny in some sadistic way. He sets down all his runes to SS them, and he lags up and gets code=057 and logs out! rofl

Ok, some of you W/Mos are a little thinkheaded. Like I said, it's kinda hard for me to prove without taking one of you along with me, but that sure as hell isn't going to happen

I just farmed them for about and hour again and here are the results. As you can see from my screenshots, there were about 3-4 HoH announcements. If any of you were on for the past hour you will recognize them hopefully. I didn't post the complete log, but this should at least provide you with some evidence.







Yup, that's another Superior Absorption...

While some of you don't believe me, I'm going to be single-handedly reduce the runes prices at the trader...LOL!

Default Just a quick note ^^

Good job there ^^

You have even inspired me to make an elementalist heh ^^
Quick note though, you have blocked out your class combo on the screens, but on the final one it shows it in the hero window ^^

Anyway, that's a lot of golds and looks like a nice little money maker hehe ^^

Thanks,
Optime

Yeah, I'm going to have to say some people just seem really lucky, because most of the time I kill ettins, half of them don't drop anything at all =/

The standard geomancer tank build works fine for me (E/Mo). I did this run today for an hour and got 4 superiors including a sup divine favour. No sup absorption though.

i take it that build kills the ettins super fast.... meaning u have a better chance in an HOUR to get superior runes...

and yes, i noticed the sup absorp drop dramatically last night.. from 60k to 35k... perhaps it went down even more then that... I just happened to check the rune trader out when it was at 35k.

nice drops, makes me wanna go ettin farming again.

What's the point of crossing out your 2nd proff and have it on your hero panel .

On the side note, I want those sup abs

lol you must kill fast. My R/Me does pretty well against Ettins (kill all in Nebo/NKP/Nebo - counts as one run to me) and it takes me maybe 45 mins to do that. Very nice indeed
