Hi Guys

I Played the last week every day and explored with my monk lv20 the crystal desert shiverpeek south and the perdition rock...

and the result 1 purple completely unusefull cane with power 7-13 ?????

Come on thats really shocking

i cleared with my guild members the complete snake dance area AND NOTHING!!

Do you have similar pooooor drops at the moment!

thanks guys

Nope I get plenty of gold and purple drops using the Griffon Build for my W/Mo. In like 20 mins i have atleast 2-5 golds. I'm sure you can do the same with a monk...just gotta read up on it.

I battled my way up from Ranknor to Beacon perch today and all I found were a handful of whites and two regular, very poor, blues.

from the last beta stage of the game till in the middle of july there wasnt a problem finding good loot for me and my guild members (THEY confirm the same big problems)...
yesterday night i did the same one more time and i cleaned up the snake dance and run upwards to beacons perch and again nothing dropped!

Dont do snake dance and up...its just a waste of time i think. I never get any good drops so dont bother with that place unless ur skill capping.

Where do you go to fight the griffons? I know it's in the desert, but what town do you go to?

Brown Suga · Aug 21, 2005, 07:00 AM // 07:00

Go to Augury Rock and exit out the East i think...its the exit where there are no Hydras with the minotaur horn collecto....go out and to the left for griffons and minotaurs...and go out to right for just minotaurs.

They nerfed a lot of drops to make it harder for botters to use farm-bots. I'd rather let some llama get rich and ruin his own experience than prevent us legit players from getting good drops. So far my collector's edition characters have a combind total of three gold drops. Nothing we can do about it though.

thank you

i know they nerfed many things because of bots and "EXTREME" Solo Farmers...
But the Balance is now really crap....not the best solution now!

hope arenanet or ncsoft or whoever programs this things will do something in the really near future....or this will get very boring soon..

today i was leveling up my warrior to lv20 starting from auraglade mission to ascension...
i did all missions some with bonus some not and all i got was a runic hammer in purple again .... pfffffffffffffffffffff

Maybe it's you guys or me. I've had about 5 gold drops and too many purple to count. Purple is like ho-hum, another one, did I unlock anything, nope, time to salvage.
