Curse

Former Ruling · Feb 15, 2007, 09:12 PM // 21:12

I solo farmed Island Guardians for an hour last night (Killing the 3 just outside of Boreas with the healing help of the luxon priest) and never got ONE Guardian Moss, I even got a Gold Item!

Some of these items will have to have their droprates modified for the weekend if they want us to get more than 1-2 of them...

I went through the games multiple times and have NEVER got some of these collectibles

What does the Chefs give us anyway?

Nothing as of yet, they apparently still say the same thing when you have the items in your inventory. Probably just added early so we could see the list of items we'll need when they actually add the feature to the game.

Nothing yet... but I suspect Lunar Tokens or whatever they're called.

No need to suspect anything:

Chef Yan = Martin Yan
Chef Chen = Chen Kenichi

But Ming Tsai is left out?

I just see no value in going around all these places looking for stuff. Obviously Anet would have to have these things start dropping in Cantha for the event because how in the world would Factions only people (yes they do exist, have one in my guild) get Icy Lodestones and a lot of other stuff? Same thing for people who's slots are all used up. Like one poster said, it doesn't seem like the time put in will be worth the reward. Good luck to you all with the time though.

You don't have to get icy lodestones. You can always farm Factions and trade with others

Nope did not have one of them, pop up there; doesn't matter now I got 1 from doing the mission 5 times (not the entire mission).

the icy lodestone thing brings up a bit of a conundrum for me. I do have a pre-sear character, with no other free slots. Obviously I'm going to have to sear to get those across. The question is, is it really worth doing so? I would wind up them deleting that character and making a new pre-sear character, as I want to always have one there. I know we don't know this yet, but it's worth keeping in mind. What is the reward? Is it something you can only get from that one chef who wants the icy lodestones?

Unless you have a trusted guildie/friend that either has a spare slot to quickly make a char to bring them through or was bringing a char through anyway...otherwise, Id just look to sell them to someone in pre and get a bit of extra pre cash...

VitisVinifera · Feb 16, 2007, 02:45 AM // 02:45

AZ, my pre-sear is 100% complete, though I haven't done crazy stuff like going for the pre-sear lvl 20 title or survivor. He's ready at a moment's notice to sear. However, you do bring up a good point: it would make more sense for a bunch of people to farm them, then only 1 person sears. But that's the problem.......where do you find a bunch of like-minded people who won't rip each other off in the same situation?

Don't Icy Lodestones drop from Ice Golems outside of Yak's Bend?

Icy Lodestones are only from Ice Elementals in Presearing (i farmed them for 2 hours last night..only to sell all my icy lodestones to the merchant.... X_X)

Makkert · Feb 16, 2007, 03:06 PM // 15:06

This is fun!
What a great idea!

Let's ask for all sorts of different items, so that players can collect them all!

Not!

I agree with Former Ruling, some things on this list are just beyond 'fun to play the game' to collect. It took me hours of farming Island Guardians to get one Guardian Moss. That's not playable for any casual gamer. I know, I'm freaking retarded that I even tried. And no, farming code did not trigger.

I really hope that all collectors provide the same, and that you can choose which collector you use.

To the OP: fix the Ebon Spider Legs. Your information is incorrect.

LONGA · Feb 16, 2007, 03:37 PM // 15:37

Thanks for the Guardian moss tip.
I hope that A-net will add some quest which lead to acquiring those hard to get ingrediant.

So..yeah.Farmed all of Perdition Rock just for ONE Firey Crest.

Yeah.RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO this event.Unless those items give me 60 minutes of godmode,I don't foresee myself obtaining the items needed.

Cacheelma · Feb 16, 2007, 05:24 PM // 17:24

...why do you list Undergrowth as "Kaineng City"? As far as I know, the closest thing to Kaineng with Undergrowth is Pongmai Valley.

Even so, you could find a lot more of them (and in group with Dragon Moss, too) in Echovald Forest, The area before Eternal Grove (can't spell the name at the moment) to be exact.
