Now that we can solo White Mantle and Peacekeepers as Thackerey, I was curious to know if more people are getting mini drops. Has anyone gotten one from playing the HotN missions?

Kumu Honua · Nov 21, 2010, 03:23 AM // 03:23

I haven't even seen them drop confessor orders let alone anything to write home about.

Celestina · Nov 21, 2010, 04:42 AM // 04:42

Best I've gotten is a decent amount of golds.

SpyderArachnid · Nov 21, 2010, 04:45 AM // 04:45

Haven't seen any Confessor's Orders, but those might be WiK only drops. That is why we aren't seeing them from these White Mantle/Peacekeepers. Might be the same for the minis, seeing as those were WiK content, not HotN content.

Best thing I got so far was a R9 Gold White Reaver. Otherwise, just junk. >.<

I think maybe the greens are disabled in general. No WiK uniques that I've seen, and I soloed Rotscale four or five times with no sign of the green Recurve.

Rotscale still drops greens

Interesting. Like SpyderArachnid said, maybe it's just WiK stuff that's not dropping. Anyone gotten any of those green weps?

Ailina · Nov 21, 2010, 07:05 AM // 07:05

I've gotten a whole bunch of confessor's orders just from the doing the first mission (twice) alone. So "WiK stuff" is definitely dropping...
I think it would have been really odd to go out of their way to disable just the greens, but it's Anet, so who knows?

Yea I just kinda realized this too, after completing this with 3 characters, I never had a drop of even a confessor's order.

Aeronwen · Nov 21, 2010, 12:03 PM // 12:03

I have got confessor's orders on these missions, no greens though but thats not unusual....

Iuris · Nov 21, 2010, 01:00 PM // 13:00

Not a single confessor order dropped, much less a mini.

-Martian- · Nov 21, 2010, 01:02 PM // 13:02

Completed all quests with my full account (5 characters), not even a single confessor's order or green dropped.

ailina you must be doing the normal war in kryta missions not the heart of the north follow up i`m on my 5th toon going through the follow up and have not had a confessor order or green drop. as seeing as there is a max of 2 in your party the chances of confessors orders not dropping (if they could) says 1 thing they are not dropping in the follow up hotn quest line.

Sakura Az · Nov 21, 2010, 05:07 PM // 17:07

ive gotten a handful of cofessor orders from the keiran missions... no greens tho.

-Vodka- · Nov 21, 2010, 08:43 PM // 20:43

I have also recieved Confessor's Orders from the Keiran missions.

A11Eur0 · Nov 21, 2010, 08:51 PM // 20:51

One Confessor's orders from the new content.

Yawgmoth · Nov 21, 2010, 11:27 PM // 23:27

The drops are almost surely working differently for the Keiran's missions than for typical WiK-enabled explorables.

As an experiment I have cleared the entire Watchtower Coast as Keiran, have observed receiving full 100% drops - always 1 drop per 1 enemy killed (no lootscaling) but have got 0 (zero) WiK specific drops. No Confessor's Orders at all. No other drop anomalies observed.

I did this part particularily because I've been solo farming WiK Watchtower Coast with my rit, getting amount of drops much below 100% (typical speed-based lootscaling) and getting always a bunch (5++) Confessor's Orders per run.

Question for people who claim they got Confessor's Orders from the new content - are you absolutely sure you had them drop while playing as Keiran or maybe got them on the run to grab the next quest enabling item?

Also a SCREENSHOT of having a Confessor's Orders drop while playing as Keiran is welcome in this thread.
I'll be playing more of this myself so will post more observations or even screens later.

EDIT: On subsequent runs the lootscaling works as normal so it's no longer 100% drops (the first run must have been different because I've started it very slowly reading and getting used to new skills and being very slow at killing then). Still zero Confessor's Orders.

MithranArkanere · Nov 22, 2010, 03:14 AM // 03:14

Did it with 3 characters so far.
All my margrid heroes have the Rotscale bow now, I even got more than one drop in some runs (the other dragons may drop the green bow too) but I haven't seen a single WiK-specific drop in any of the runs.

Reformed · Nov 22, 2010, 03:49 AM // 03:49

6 chars through this new content and no Confessor Orders. Not too surprising since this would be a beyond belief easy way to farm WiK related things.

I have solo farmed the base in Nebo quite a bit in the past and after just over 3 stacks of Orders I had 4 green weapons (zero miniatures). Needless to say they are quite rare as drops but your mileage may vary.

Essence Snow · Nov 22, 2010, 04:10 AM // 04:10

8 Chars through new content....6 Rotscale bows...0 confessors orders

Definately would like to see some screens of them dropping while playing as Keiran, although I doubt we will.
