LOL, since when is mathematics and urban legend.

when they say 2x drop rate, that means the whole game not per person. If it meant per person or instance it would actually be 2x, but it isn't.

Then they will call you r3 noob, then r4 noob and so on.

Please pardon my ignorance, but what is "ss/lb"? Is "ss" sunspear?

Also, when are elite skills available? My highest character is lvl 16, and I haven't come across them yet. I know you don't buy them - is it a matter of knowing which boss to get them from, or are there quests?

Dronte · Aug 13, 2008, 05:48 PM // 17:48

SS=sunspear, LB=lightbringer

Prophecies in the Desert, Factions in the main Kaineng City area, Nightfall right after Sunspear Sanctuary, and EoTN from the beginning.

It isnt a horrid weekend but I would have to concur SS/LB weekend would definitely be quite nice

My thoughts exactly. That's exactly what happened on the lockpick weekend: there was a double chance for lockpicks and keys to drop, I got more keys and lockpicks after the weekend than during. :-/

By the way, where is our "weekend to dye for"? o_O

Thank you, guys! I appreciate your time. I'll get this stuff down, really I will.

IrisLee · Aug 13, 2008, 07:19 PM // 19:19

SS/LB would be nice.

oh my god....

For the sake of an argument let's say Alem's Remedy has a 2% chance of dropping when you kill Alem the Unclean. Now it will have 4% chance of dropping. It has nothing to do with amount of people "farming" Alem.

It's that simple, people somehow try to make it more complicated for whatever reason.

Thats outta date now though....they got a regina expansion key.

I would love a Double Kurzick/Luxon Point weekend again.

You buy Signets of Capture and then kill the boss that has the elite you want and activate the signet (it will take up a spot on your skill bar...you buy them from skill trainers past a certain point in the game or from the skill trainer in your guild hall if you have them).

If you go to the wiki (F10 in game) you can search on your profession (warrior, elementalist) and scroll a bit down that page there will be links to the skills available for your profession. That list will show you the elites available. If you click on the elite it will tell you what bosses you can cap them from and if you then click on the boss' name it will tell you how to find that boss.

There is usually a quest that gives you your first signet of capture in each campaign when you get to the point where elite skills can be capped. (I think you get it early in Proph....)

Joiry · Aug 14, 2008, 02:00 AM // 02:00

And here I just finished Legendary Skill Hunter last weekend (patience is a virtue apparently). Well, at least I got ~150 of the elites in the previous double weekend in may

so I can't feel too bad about the extra 100k xp I missed. Gods forbid that my free skill point total fall beneath 200!

When you map in it doesnt mean a percent chance for just your character. Apparently you didn't participate in the double key drop weekend. GL farming greens BTW

Meh...rather than complain, I'm grateful that Anet is still having weekend events, regardless of whether or not they apply to all players. We haven't had a green weekend for a while and combing two lesser events is a good idea.

Hopefully they'll have another double SS/LB point weekend before summer's end. I finally beat NF last week and college starts back up in a month. I'm sure the latter situation applies to many.

If they have, they sure haven't used it :X

Wow, ordinarily I would say this is bunk, but the timing is right on -- the very week I picked up green/tome farming again this hits me. Will be fun, if not as productive as some other weekends.
