Grats? Grog did seem to have a pretty high drop rate though.

I got 3 Bottles of Grog after Vanquishing 2 zones in the desert. Fun to get them but I didn't see a very high drop rate for them personally.

^ Same for me.. except only 2. Decided to take firewater with me for the next vanquish. Running around Turai's Procession drunk as a skunk makes it a lot more interesting. Until you realise you havent deactivated the "Battle of Turai's Procession" quest and quickly get swarmed by Margo's.. I was trippin' man, trippin'.

i was getting around 10 drops per
run through green hill county
swapping 16grog per stack..

I think they programed it different. Could be wrong. But it seemed to Increase in drops when I killed different types of foes. (Killed scale then went to bandits. for an example)

I got 3 stacks in 7 1/2 hours of farming through out the weekend.

Anyone else notice a larger rate of white dye drops? I had received maybe 11 or 12 in the past year, then 7 this weekend.
Odd coincidence, my next highest dye drop count was 4 (reds, purples, yellow, brown)

astro reaping · Sep 22, 2008, 03:39 PM // 15:39

i didnt mention i got 30 dyes this weekend
including 2 black in pre

I notice alright, raptors gave me 16 white dyes, 12 on Sunday, yesterday I played the least because I was watching Football.................my Jaw was on the flaw Sunday, I had 5 drop in a row, it was crazy, for a sec I thought the system was broken.

Shayne Hawke · Sep 22, 2008, 04:34 PM // 16:34

So, did anyone actually do GvG?

Dronte · Sep 22, 2008, 04:35 PM // 16:35

This weekend was about GvG, lol.

edit: ah Shayne beat me to it ^^ but yea, great weekend, only 3 pts off champion even though I wasnt at home, only a few hours.

CE Devilman · Sep 22, 2008, 04:42 PM // 16:42

found a way to make the chest pop up near/in the raptor cave

and a new super degre way...sold 2 stack grog... 100+unide
....and made a last stack before beedtime

note..still need to find the "req 7" spot..

It was indeed quite a nice weekend for the Grogs, more weekends like these and the MOX update will continue to promote good will with the community which has felt a bit burned out lately.

PS q7 non max gold? Why bother?

consider this: other holiday events have multiple types of drops, ale and clovers, eggs and bunnies, maybe it's not so much that grog was a high drop rate as much is it is that it was the only holiday item dropping, so it occupied the entire possible drop rate set forth for holiday items.

Jecht Scye · Sep 22, 2008, 08:08 PM // 20:08

I loved this weekend event. Good Job Anet

Operative 14 · Sep 22, 2008, 08:12 PM // 20:12

It really was quite fun, Thank you Arenanet!

For some reason the holidays and mini events seem more fun this year.

DarthFlesh · Sep 22, 2008, 08:59 PM // 20:59

well personally i found this weekend pretty beneficial for my wallet, for real, all weekend i power traded grog, not much, started buying at 300 selling at 350 for a secured sell, and my guild leader who trades a lot of alcohol told me to buy all alcohol i could at 300-400 gold each,and hold on to it for 2 weeks, and after that, sell grog for 150g/point

grogs are 5 points

i started with 150k, and im gonna end with nearly 500k

crazybanshee · Sep 22, 2008, 09:15 PM // 21:15

I agree, a very fun unexpected weekend with a whimsical theme. It should also have made all the whiners who were complaining about last weekend's fort aspenwood and jade quarry event not being a 'pve' event just shush!

Trylo · Sep 22, 2008, 10:15 PM // 22:15

i think Anet has caught on; dont let players anticipate anything then give a normal update and watch the praises soar.

anyways, cool drop. going through dungeons with the screen not even functioning as a prot monk is leeeeet.
