Loot Scaling question. - Guild Wars Forums

I was wondering if loot scaling applied to collector items (like Charr Carvings, Mergoyle skulls, that sort of thing). Could not find anywhere that explicitly spelled it out.

Thanks.

From my understanding, loot scaling include anything that isn't mentoinned as excluded from loot scaling. So my answer is yeah.

Unfortunately it is. So holiday farming is pretty much down the crapper.

Well, my friend has over 3000 Orr emblems from solo farming, so it can't be that bad.

It's all relative. Whether or not it's "down the crapper" would depend upon how much you can reasonably expect to get out of one "farming" run. Also, the more of something that's available, the less it will be worth.

If this were true the price of lvl 1 alcohol and 1 point sweets should have gone up,- and they haven't!
Last year the Gates of Kryta smiting farm yielded about 30 Decayed Orr Emblems pr. run - I tried it during Halloween this year - about 10!

That's one dead run if you ask me!
