I have some question about green drops.

I'm farming 3 bosses atm, Sskai, Chkkr locust lord, Chkkr tousand tail.

But the strange thing is. I've farmed them all about the same amount of times and I got about 3 Chkkrs flatbows. But Non of the other 2 bosses.... Is that just coincidence? Or do some bosses drop less often?

And 1 other question:
An in-game hint screen states that repeatedly killing the same creature(s) in the same location will cause the value of the loot dropped to be reduced for a period of time. This is called the "anti-farm code".

This is from guildwiki. Its says a short period of time, so how long should I wait before I can farm a boss again for some green.

From what i understand, drops are random. They don't drop more often on one boss than another, your just getting luckier on one boss. And to get rid of the anti farm code you should to quests and missions. The harder the quest/mission, the more time it takes off of the wait. For example Abbadons Mouth will take more off the wait than Nolani Acadamy.

Ok thnx, and that questing your talking about, does that only go for that character or does it work with other characters aswell? So I can progress my other chars in the time I wait.

There are other people in the world playing GW, they may just be farming one of those bosses more then others so the drop rate decreases. It is also random.

huh, so If others farm that boss too often, it affects my drop rate 2? 0.0

Predominantly drop from bosses, with certain exceptions.

Also from wiki. What do they mean with exceptions? =O

BS.
Farm Zelnehlun Fastfoot like 90% of the rest of the world and he'll still throw his bow at you at every chance he gets.
I'd bet anything some greens have a lower chance to drop than others.

btw:
Yesterday killed Nightbringer 15 times, and got 8 staffs.
Killed Korr 10 times, and got zero focuses.

Yeah same here, But for Example if I farm Sskai for like 20 times, and he stops dropping high quality loot, and I'll farm an other boss does the antifarm code affect other bosses loot 2? hope not... xD

And the wait for the anti-farm code to expire, is that in-game wait, or does a day when I dont play guildwars help to?(very hard) XD

grtz.

yes.
The anti-farm code nerfs drops in the whole AREA. Unless you have to zone to get to another boss, he's nerfed drop wise also.

Yes it does. All greens have individual drop rates and anti-farm formulas though, so there is hard to find a definite answer. Also greens are not affected by anti-farm code in exactly the same way as other drops (the chance to get a gold drop can actually become 0 or very very close to 0, but the chance to get a green is always there, even if decreased).

The patent method for clearing anti-farm is to do a couple of missions. So you don't have to stay off GW for a full day.

With the area you mean areas like arborstone? etc.

So if I get the anti-farm code at Boreas seabed (sskai) It doesnt affect Chkkr locust lord (melandru's hope)

THanks for all ur replys !!!

capped Sskai's elite on my sin with 3 heros, he dropped green, killed him on my tank once, he dropped green, was hoping he wouldnt... dont farm him anymore and kinda hard to sell his sword now.

Area, not region =]
Yeah, you're right on that one.
I usually do 4-5 runs on one boss, then on a second, then on a third, then return to the first (sometimes there's room for a 4th). This usually keeps the code off me. It helps that I dead sword farm with my 55 as well, so if I get coded, It's not the end of the world ^^
