How Many Superior Rune drop you got so far? - Guild Wars Forums

Heidelun · Jun 21, 2005, 06:05 PM // 18:05

I started playing about 2 days after the Guild Wars shipped.
Played 4 chars to the Perdition Rock and few more, and i think i played about 250~300 hours but I didnt find a SINGLE Superior Rune drop

Is there a perticular area where they drop them??
Some says they found about 10 Superior Runes from farming Tengu in some area in 5 hours... and that makes me very sad indead

And they refuse to tell which area that is :/
That makes me feel like an idiot...

RTSFirebat · Jun 21, 2005, 06:16 PM // 18:16

I've only found 1 from 220 hours of game time.

Its random... that person could have been lying... also how sad is that? Farming an area for hours on end like that.

Ketendra · Jun 21, 2005, 06:18 PM // 18:18

I have been playing since release, and I have gotten 0 superior runes. I also dont farm for them, I just play the game. I have gotten alot of Major runes though.

Because they're afraid if it gets out too much, ANet will nerf that area.

I wouldnt worry about it. I never find superior runes in straightforward play either. Now that rune traders are in place, the prices on runes have dropped so it should be a bit more affordable. If you really want to farm for superiors, try joining a guild or make good friends with someone that knows the best farming areas for them. If that doesn't work, you can always farm the gold easy. Just find a spot that you can solo without dying and still make 5k-10k gold an hour.

sino-soviet · Jun 21, 2005, 06:21 PM // 18:21

well its good to know I am not the only loser out here :P. Yeah, I havent gotten one superior rune from beating the game twice, including some farming.

Rajamic · Jun 21, 2005, 07:08 PM // 19:08

I've got one character to the Fire Islands and another about to begin the Ascension trials.

I've found 3 Superiors, but 2 of them didn't salvage out.

Paine · Jun 21, 2005, 07:15 PM // 19:15

Been playing since 3-4 days after the official release and I found 1 superior curses so far =)

people, by nature, are collectors....think about all of the things you collect....why would you expect it to be any different in a game? Some people enjoy collecting and selling...who are you to say how someone should play a game THEY spent THEIR 50 bucks on?

Suuk · Jun 22, 2005, 10:04 AM // 10:04

I have 2 chars that completed the game, 1 just ascended and 1 in the desert area.

I played way too much and did only farm for the first time 3 weeks ago (or something). I didnt farm heavy, only like 6 times in Nebo for Ettins and 6 times in Riverside for Hill Giants. From the farming I got several golden armors of which I sold one. That one was a superior ranger thing.

From just regular playing I got my first sup last Monday: a sup expertise.

So, that is not very much...

Marc Grahamsworth · Jun 22, 2005, 11:02 AM // 11:02

0. Zero. Zilch.

The undead Mesmer · Jun 22, 2005, 11:04 AM // 11:04

i found one sup so far a superior absorpsion i gave it away to a friend i didnt knw how much it whas worth so im a bit mad now.

psycore · Jun 22, 2005, 11:11 AM // 11:11

3 in total, a wilderness, beastmastery and hammer. That's for taking 4 characters past ascension and farming for a while to get 15k armour for one of the characters. For a lot of time put in that is a woefully low number, I cant imagine grinding to unlock them all for pvp.

Weezer_Blue · Jun 22, 2005, 11:13 AM // 11:13

I have none since release. I didn't start farming til the first of the nerfs came cause I didn't have any good chars for farming. I was more interested in skills and didn't see the nerfs coming.

Chuck Wagon · Jun 22, 2005, 11:22 AM // 11:22

I have one character ascended and one that is just now getting to Lion's Arch. In total I have probably logged about 60-70 hours of play and I'd estimate that five of those hours were spent farming Ettins. I have unlocked zero superior runes. Of the minor and major runes I have unlocked at least 90% of those were from farming.

Fantras · Jun 22, 2005, 11:25 AM // 11:25

1 superior rune of domination. No majors a bunch of minors. I just want to unlock one sup vigor and I will quit. I swear.

timmo567 · Jun 22, 2005, 11:33 AM // 11:33

1 Sup Illusion with about 300 hours total

hassoon · Jun 22, 2005, 11:45 AM // 11:45

500 hrs game play 2 acended toons and a 3rd on the way no sup runes and 4 majors.

ether · Jun 22, 2005, 11:53 AM // 11:53

Around 5 maybe, all of them by farming, never gotten anything by doing missions . My first superior drop was actually a Superior vigor. lucky me :P

Sierra · Jun 22, 2005, 12:05 PM // 12:05

I've been playing since release and still no superior rune drops. Same thing for my cousin. And I did farm for runes before the nerfs, just not excessively.
