I can't get green - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Darkobra · Dec 19, 2006, 05:35 AM // 05:35

I got the green the first time I ever came across the boss, stocked up with hench. I didn't like the green and I didn't think it'd sell compared to the Ghial's staff, so I dropped it in a random PUG and watched them scramble over it. However, when I was trying to see the green of an assassin, it took me days to get that green. Patience really is the key. It's never a question of "if" but "when".

Exactly what happens for me. I have gotten several greens on the first try just doing quest with a full team of hench/hero. But if I actually try soloing for a green i want it always takes forever. Serernity now, serenity now

people try too hard.
I've only farmed one boss for a green and that was geoffers bulwark
And one time on the way to get sunreach, i got a kyrils fervor, but no luck with sunreach

Just recently i found a green dagger while questing in a full hench party and a while ago i got the nightbringer while farming points for sunspear general.

it all comes to patience and randomness

I've done that a few times based on the run it takes to get to the boss.

In fact I've been playing around with E/A solo and used heroes henchies to work my way to sharptooth (Sunward Marches) when it was clear, I sent them away, solo'd him and it dropped first try.

It's been proven / noted that sending them away where their name is grey'd out works just as if you went and solo'd by yourself without them

But yea, anti-farm code / bad luck is the reason something doesnt drop after x amount of times.

I've done exuro 12-15 times and not have him drop. I could come back after a half hour / hour and he'd drop first try.

Nightbringer hasn't dropped the last 5-8 times I've tried.
Ghial and my first time W/Mo build, 4 or 5 times and he hasn't dropped it.
Mind you, it takes a hell of a long time W/Mo style .. so if it takes 8 - 10 minutes, I do it once and say screw it. ...
Skybringer took about 5 tries (Practice)
Mindcluder hasnt in 4-6 tries (Practice)

Thanks for that confirmation

Yet another thing for me to waste countless hours of my life on...
