You do know trolls don't drop salvages right? I'd be surprised if you did get one.

Yep, friend just a sup healing rune from a purple ettin pauldron.

A concern/question I have ... has this new update effected the type of mods found within purple weapons? (Think, finding 9%/10% furious on a purple weapon) >.<

We were just doing Luxon, and my Guild Leader got Sup. Healing from a purple. Was cool and stuff.

Sir Skullcrasher · Mar 23, 2006, 06:04 PM // 18:04

So with the upcoming update for the faction preview, purple pauldron or anything purple could give you superior runes?

devils wraths · Mar 23, 2006, 06:13 PM // 18:13

lets farm those runes from the quest while it lasts just got 2 sup absorb

J3mo · Mar 23, 2006, 06:32 PM // 18:32

I got a rune of Superior Divine Favor out of a purple ettins pauldron just 10min ago

Hockster · Mar 23, 2006, 06:36 PM // 18:36

Seen some purple superiors drop from SF too.

Young Hero · Mar 23, 2006, 06:42 PM // 18:42

Ive had no less than 8 purple ettins armors id as Superiors.Lets hope this is not a bug, rune prices are dropping fast.Better not have another Freaking Rollback

Matsumi · Mar 23, 2006, 06:46 PM // 18:46

I'd say a majority of the gold armors I get don't contain superior runes hardly ever, most of the time they're minor runes or major, I've also had alot of purple armors with superior runes attached. Kind of makes me not look forward to seeing a gold armor much anymore. There's sometimes a chance though, but a majority of the gold seem to not have superiors.

Studio Ghibli · Mar 23, 2006, 06:48 PM // 18:48

.. I just got a sup ab from them. Weird.

Studio Ghibli · Mar 23, 2006, 06:57 PM // 18:57

I honestly don't believe this was supposed to be a feature. ;(

My first drop was a purple sup ab. Some guy apparently popped two sup abs. I smell rollback again 'cause of a bug--unless, of course, Anet intended to totally devalue Ettin farming..

.. which I wouldn't mind. ;P I think the best way to beat farmers is to ruin it. ;D

Just wondering what's going on.

Someone said above that it is being reported in SF as well, so I don't think they are trying to devalue ettin farming. If intentional, they are probably trying to devalue the rune market to make some of the superiors more accessible.

At this rate though, the devalue is going to rock all the sups into the 100s.

That's good for no one.

Besides that, I always liked knowing the high-cost sups were, like, badges. ;P

You could say, HEY I HAVE A SUPERARIOR ABSORTION, and people would be like HOMFG U R TEHS AWESAUCE.

You know? :/

MelechRic · Mar 23, 2006, 07:16 PM // 19:16

Meh... the game was never suposed to be about items/runes... now it's looking like ANet is making good on their original promise.

Personally, I'm fine with this. I farm ettins like the rest of you, but it's damn tedious so no loss for me. I've only ever gotten superior vigors from gold pauldrons and never seen a superior on a purple BTW.

Cherno · Mar 23, 2006, 07:16 PM // 19:16

Well I agree that they shouldn't get down into the price of the minors or majors.

But I feel sad for the people that think anyone is special because of having a superior rune or a particular armor or weapon. If you were to say that to me, I would think "Good for you. Not impressed"

Alleji · Mar 23, 2006, 07:24 PM // 19:24

Damn, and I just bought a sup vigor thinking 28k was cheap. If purples drop them, I guess the price will be 1k in a week...
