This weekend has been great, I really enjoyed going out and getting all the greens I wanted. It just feels so much better going out and getting them yourself as opposed to looking at somebody with $$ in their eyes imo.

Any chance it gets extended? There, might be a few I would still like to try for... lol

They sure picked the wrong weekend for this to happen... grrrr had to work Saturday and had a charity walk to do on Sunday and between that had to figure out what to buy for my new place with my girlfriend. Sigh. Glad everyone enjoyed it though.

Regards

Don't be ridiculous. You bought a year old game and you get year-old-game level support. ANet needs to make a profit so they spend their time and money on generating new products and servicing their latest releases.

Exactly. Thanks, finally someone has the balls to say something I'd say but won't, in fear of getting ganked by a bunch of sickly-nice guru-ers... Bluntness is an underappreciated virtue. GJ

What is the formula for how much henchman decease the likelyhood of the drop?

Can anyone recommend a good A/R solo build?

They decrease your chance of the drop by n/(n+1)

The event was great. My ritualist Vizula Ra got herself most of the green ritualist staves and is now ready to take on the darkness that has invaded Elona!

I run a 3 or 4 man Ironclaw group and was 3-manning it last night. Today, the menders are outhealing a 3-man. Did they change the skill setup for the menders or did I just have a sucky group?

Gabe3 · Oct 15, 2006, 11:11 PM // 23:11

wow, 11 pages.

has anyone else had trouble getting stuff to drop, I was doing my normal kaolin farming run with 4 people like I usally do and some reason, since this weekend no greens have droped! Before the weekend every run we did, about 1 or 2 greens would drop, now on this weekend nothing drops. feals more like a "- 3x"

makosi · Oct 15, 2006, 11:38 PM // 23:38

I've obsessively grind farmed the kaolin dom and accursed staff. I made a million

. Drop rates were excellent.

Chilly Ress · Oct 15, 2006, 11:41 PM // 23:41

I have now finished up the weekend. After 43 Kaolin runs, I received the follow: 1 prot staff, 1 accursed staff. (I 5-manned it) Umm...ya...

Wow, sucks for you. The only green I wanted that I didn't have before this even was the Kaolin Blade so I did some 5-man Kaolin Runs (all of the 4-mans I tried failed mostly because the tank sucked) but after about 5-10 runs I got 1 prot staff, 1 dom staff and 1 longbow, all of which I sold for 15k each then I bought the Kaolin Blade for 30k, so the weekend was pretty good for me.

[DE] · Oct 16, 2006, 12:01 AM // 00:01

I'm sort of happy. Solo'd Sunreach and got it to drop 5 times. But the prices dropped so I only made around 100k off it.

ElinoraNeSangre · Oct 16, 2006, 07:27 AM // 07:27

Now that it's over, I have to say, I loved it.

I wasn't interested in making money, I just wanted to outfit myself and some friends with stuff.

Didn't manage to get everything I was aiming for (Sunreach was a pain for me, and Jacqui's Aegis just wouldn't drop) but I'm not complaining. This was a BLAST!

I managed to get items for my husband and stepson, too.

Fabulous and fun weekend; I practically squealed every time I saw green text on a drop.

Lol. But I agree that this event was fun. IMO, it was the best one. I got a few Kaolin greens, a couple of Sunreach shields, some green daggers, and other green staves. Didn't spend much time farming either. They practically dropped almost on the first run each time.

Feminist Terrorist · Oct 16, 2006, 07:48 AM // 07:48

I'm very disappointed in this weekend. I tried for two days, off and on, to get Jacqui to drop the frickin' shield. Nothing, not even cash. I just wanted one bloody shield for my warrior.

arcanemacabre · Oct 16, 2006, 07:51 AM // 07:51

Yep, I'd have to say this weekend was a resounding success. Phooey to all those who said 0x3=0! The proof is in the pudding. Pudding, I tell ya!

Running total for my wife and I (duo farming) = 17 greens! Total hours played = ~7

WLlama · Oct 16, 2006, 07:55 AM // 07:55

I'd have to say I'm pretty happy with the event. I didn't quite clear off my wanted greens list, but it is about 8/20 greens shorter. Did I get everything I tried for? Nope...but that's the way it always goes. Maybe after NF comes out...

explodemyheart · Oct 16, 2006, 08:09 AM // 08:09

I ended with (some even acquired with henchies):
1 sunreach's shield (keeping)
2 ironclaws (lagged and accidently sold one to merchant, giving the other to boyfriend)
2 dream haunters (keeping one)
2 windcatchers (keeping one)
1 sentasi's jade hammer
1 time eater (keeping)
1 jayne's staff (keeping for nightfall)
1 spiritgarden's repose
1 vera (keeping)
2 scar eaters (traded 1 for another vera, keeping the other for nightfall)
1 reefclaw's refuge (unintentional)
2 shreader's talons (unintentional)
2 byzzr's benedictions (keeping one, gave one to a guildie)
1 ssun's staff (keeping)
1 scourgewind's branch (giving to a guildie)

Then 1 cho wei's axe, 1 feng's focus, 1 jin's hornbow, 1 auri's wand, 1 deathkeeper for low level heroes.

I got pretty much everything I wanted, minus Jacqui's Aegis and Ghial's Staff. I didn't end up getting most of those until a few hours ago. Until then, I was getting the "3x0=0". I guess persistence pays off.
