Rragars and Clockwork? - Guild Wars Forums

Essence Snow · Feb 08, 2010, 08:20 PM // 20:20

Okay had to set up this thread as I was in Doomlore as usual and saw someone advertiseing run for Rragars saying that Clockwork scythe drops there.
I for one have run the dungeon countless times on rit, monk, sin, mes, ele, and necro and have never seen one drop there. (by countless I mean I maxed vanguard on those 6 chars by running rragars) I also have seen maybe 40+ clockworks drop in Oola's runs. My question: Has anyone ever seen the end chest in Rragars drop a clockwork scythe? I know for fact Demon Tougue scythes, dryads bows, and goldhorn staffs drop there. I've gotten 11 dryads during my runs yet nvr seen a clockwork.
I would be oblidged by ya'lls feedback b/c as far as I can tell it is false advertising...and runners should not give runniees false hope. (Plz don't quote wiki as it is user edited)
~Thanks!~ Take care and Have fun!

Its supposed to be a chest item but never saw one myself.

Tom Swift · Feb 08, 2010, 09:22 PM // 21:22

I believe I got mine from Oola's

I haven't ever heard of a Clockwork Scythe dropping from Rragar's.
Might be extremely rare, but I doubt that.

No screen shot to back it up, but I've had a clockwork drop in Rragar's for myself, and I've seen a few others for guild mates during speed clears.

Take a look at the Wiki page on the Clockwork Scythe.

From Wiki:
The Clockwork Scythe can be found:
Eye of the North

According to the Wiki, yes - Rragar's Menagerie "Hidesplitter Chest" has a chance to drop a Clockwork Scythe. As per everything in the game, it's by chance. You could do the VSF run 100+ times and never see a Voltaic Spear, yet others have run it much less and already got one themselves.

EDIT: Whoops. I tl;dr.
(It's the official Wiki, anyway; I don't think it'd stay up for very long if it was false).

One person can change wiki so I don't put much faith in its accuarcy. Per user saying they got one from a chest in HoS. If that were the case chances are this item would drop in every dungeon.

As for doing 100+ runs. I find it hard to believe that seeing every rare drop from every dungeon on multiple occasions, this one example has slipped me by. I asked some of the other runners that I know of this and none of them can say they have seen it. This would encompass thousands of runs.

I find it more likely that someone may have dropped one out of a full inventory to pick up chest drops than it actually being assigned dropped by the chest.

Am I wrong to assume that of all the dungeon specific chest drops this one would defy all others and have a lower chance of drop than a polar bear, in a non-oola's end chest?

I simple want to clarify this so that ppl are not being dupped into believing they have a chance at something when in actuallity they do not. Specially when they are paying for a run. It would be like advertising "Running CoF HM 2k (Rare drops mini polar/mini dhumm) self inviite No afk" Just wrong imo. Please if anyone has a sceen of an assigned drop post it. I'll actually pay 100k for one (screen of one assigned there) Maybe we can clear this up.

See that "Disputed" notice at the top of the wiki page? The discussion on that page's talk page seems to me to suggest that it is very unlikely to be a truthful account. There have been a grand total of two reports of a Clockwork dropping from hidesplitter's chest and neither of those two people have come forward to verify their claim.

I've not done a lot of Rragar's, but I have done it 40-50 times total. Never seen any of the unique drops for that dungeon/chest show up. I have seen 1 Clockwork drop, for me

, and it was in Oola's.
