I only got 2 greens and some of us in our alliance farmed for moslty just 3 or 4 5 times would of been better.

It seems strange that some of you weren't getting much greens. I had no problem, and I was mostly farming solo on my A/E and my mes, both of whom I'd been farming on quite heavily before the event. And I actually did trigger the anti-farming code on my A/E two days before the event.

But I didn't do a mission or anything with her, I just solo farmed a different boss, got a green, and then returned to the boss I got the warning on and got a green there (and this was before the weekend).

Perhaps its character based? My ele is really unlucky with shards but gets a lot of superior vigors. My mes seems to get a lot of greens. I don't know what's going on, but it seems that it really isn't random... but I don't think the problem is the farming code either.

Well - guess I'll wait to see what greens Nightfall has to offer... Cantha

The final count from 3x Green Weekend:

5 Ritual Lord's Staves
4 Rajazan's Fervors
2 Woe Spreaders
1 Kaolin Accursed Staff
1 Sskai's Sword

Those were from the handful of hours that I played on Saturday. All in all, a pretty good weekend.

Yeah I had a good weekend for the greens. I got 10 all together.. though my bf i think got four.. and my friend only got one and was upset.

Soulwhisper's Guardian
Kaolin Wand
Vengeance Seeker
Orosen's Staff
Reefclaw's Refuge
Milthuran's Staff
The Darkwish
Mohby's Artifact
Lorelle's Longbow
Geoffer's Bulwark

I think most of the reason was because I didn't bother farming at some of the mostly farmed areas.

Edit
Actually I did get the Purifier. Does anyone even use that thing? And no I'm not a farmer so the so-called farm code doesn't even come into play.

I was told that henchies will take green drops, even if you can't see them. I always went without them.

lol. I got 4 Seacrash's Influences while trying to get Ssaresh's Kris Daggers and didn't get one of those.

I usually farmed one and moved on, cause I'm a green collector, but it was fun suprising some of my guildies with extra greens I farmed for them. Most did drop on the first or second try, though some didn't drop any green at all which I didn't think would happen. All in all, over the weekend I got 19 new greens for my collection, so I think it was a great event. Hope we get to do it again

GF wanted one so I went in there. Got one on the second try. Quansong can't cast Spirit Light if he doesn't have any energy (Spirit Shackles).

Hmmm

115 greens/7 hours = 3,6 minutes for solo every boss (and the boss has to drop the green always)
Yeah right..

Anyway regarding to topic got greens that i wanted/needed for me and future heroes in NF

Feminist Terrorist · Oct 17, 2006, 04:09 AM // 04:09

What's weird is that my ele is the one that usually gets the green drops since she's usually first into an area. Not this weekend though. I got lots of whites. If I could have, I would have farmed with my warrior who is bizarrely lucky, but not very far along in the game. I've gotten very few greens in Cantha. Maybe it's the milk moustache that Anet is taking their sweet time in fixing.

I really like the event. It was fun running in the four man groups and the money made was decent. The best part was the lax atmosphere regarding the goods. I was able to trade for the things I wanted and thus get the Greens I wanted to have, but did not get.

Linksys · Oct 17, 2006, 07:00 AM // 07:00

People try to trade for profit, but I want to see more and more trading for fun. Without caring so much about getting more value than the other person. I saw some of that this weekend. It would be fun to have an item, then trade for another. Then for the heck of it, trade for something else. This can happen if there are more and more greens circulating around. More emphasis on trading so both people get what they want, and less on charging steep prices.

Agreed - total bs. Always best to work out the maths before you spin a whopper.

Nickhimself · Oct 17, 2006, 07:41 AM // 07:41

I got all of the green items that I was after, so i'm happy.

I wish we had more events like this.

I done OK out of it but the most important thing to me was that all the groups I was in all worked together and shared the Greens and I also met some really nice players which is worth more than any Green

Riken Chrono · Oct 17, 2006, 02:07 PM // 14:07

i can show you....
