How Many Superior Rune drop you got so far? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

Syncrosonix · Jun 22, 2005, 12:12 PM // 12:12

i've been in a party where one dude got 2 drops of superior runes. i always seem to get the ass end of the drops, even though i deal most of the freakin' damage real quick, and then the person who gets the drop only hits a foe once or twice before killing it.

as for myself getting any superiors....i've gotten none, a very few majors, and craploads of minors that nobody really uses. then again, i've only been playing for roughly 150hrs since buying the game a little over a month ago.

I got a Superior Vigor in about 70 hours of play, it was a gold armor drop and was excited to see what i got from the salvage...I began singin the theme song to the donald trump reality show The Aprentice "money money money money!"

It sold in 5 minutes for the sum of 90k! which i then used to buy the 15k armor, black dyes! Major Rune of Fire and a Major Rune of Vigor! since that gives you 41 hp for some reason

I can live with being 9 hp shy of the vigor max.

I got my First Sup. Vig. at the Gates of Kryta mission.

FireStorm · Jun 22, 2005, 12:43 PM // 12:43

From Release... Over 30 easy , 2 sup vigs , 2 sup absorps and mostly every single other sup rune , except marks. My first sup rune was sup absorp.. turned into tanned hides. I got 15k Whole Pyro outfit..
I got my lil farming place...

5 or 6, including vigor. In about 90hrs of play. All of them came from about 6 hours of farming--none came from normal gameplay.

As an aside, I noticed that the sup vigors were only selling for 60k at the rune trader. They sure have gone down in price. And the sup absorption! That one was priced at 100k! Looks like the new Rune To Have.

Same here. Although I didn't farm with my Ranger, I just played the game. Now that I have a E/Mo doing ascention that's about to change.

I've found a bunch of minors, and one one major (Vigor at that

).

let's just say "a ton".

I basically go farm different areas, when im bored with quests or missions, and shift back and forth from farming to questing storyline and to fiddling with diff 2ndary builds.

ones you create a solid farming charac, ascend, do all storyline, do all the 2ndary quests. you basically have so many choices of gameplay with the game.

only advice to getting runes is: pick all the monsters that give "armor" type drops in all areas and test out killing em, and they will drop minors/major/superiors. (ofcourse dont forget the "luck" factor.)

added: actually since the patch, they stated that all runes are 100% expert salvaged into the rune, only runes put in charac armors are still able to be lost. so that's great news. since my 1st sup. vigor find turned into tanned hides as well.hehe

One . . . maybe I think I got a sup smiting or something stupid like that and i'm too lazy to look
Edit:One character at ascension, one completely done game(only need to go cap 14 skills . . . only 280k experience to go

) and another character in lions arch, all 3 have done every last quest and mission availible to them atleast once :P

Spike · Jun 22, 2005, 02:14 PM // 14:14

Well I finished the game on 1 character am at the last mission on 2nd, Nolani on the 3rd. Got 2 sup runes in an hour when my 1st character got to the desert and never seen another since. Got a few minors and majors however. I mostly seem to find nice weapons and such.

Tsukiyomi · Jun 22, 2005, 02:18 PM // 14:18

I've beaten the game on one character, and I'm at Lion's Arch on the other. I've only gotten one superior drop. And, I don't farm, so that's probably why I haven't gotten more than one.

Odai · Jun 22, 2005, 06:48 PM // 18:48

As a N/E turned N/R I found 1 superior rune of (healing or protection- I forget which) for a monk.

I'm saving it for a guild mate.

Luggage · Jun 22, 2005, 06:53 PM // 18:53

5-10, don't keep track.

Got non while farming. Didnt farm very much tho.

Syncrosonix · Jun 22, 2005, 07:25 PM // 19:25

well, about an hour after posting my first response, i came across a superior rune of soul reaping. it doesn't sell worth a crap, either.

i got it during the riverside province co-op mission where it came from the spoil of a hill giant's boots.
