Other good ones for the party included the Razorstone and another Malinon shield. Everyone got some decent golds from the chest, and we had a couple sup runes drop as well. Total green count was just over 30.

Including two FoW runs (5 shards and then 3 shards) made for a very profitable day.

Over 30 greens in 5 runs. That means 6 per run.

According to someone who posted in this forum, boss drop rate if you kill it solo is 25%. So odds of what you accomplished are:

0.024%

Extremely unlikely to happen.

Then again, Anet's randomisation has been known to be skewy.

I've gotten 2 greens (Gorrel's Cane & 10% Rockmolder wooohooo!) in 5-6 total SF runs. Boy do I feel special!

No, he did 5-man runs, i.e. party of five, I don't think he actually mentioned how many runs he did, could have been 10, could have been 20.

I am beginning to dislike sorrows with a passion. I have done well over 100 3-5 man farming runs, and I have only got 1 green ever, and it was bludgeoner. just today I went with the same group 4 times in a row, the prot monk got 2 ragos staves in consecutive runs, razorstone was dropped several times, as was many other greens. I just have no luck I swear, either that or anet is getting back at me for farming 600+ ecto solo for my fissure sets.I bet that is why now I think of it. bah...

Went back a few times since. Got nothing at all. I don't ever expect that to happen again, but it sure was fun while it lasted.

Extremely skewy at times.

It won't beat any of your runs, but...

I was doing a run to get from Copperhammer to the Granite Citadel, and then to the War camp. We wasn't getting anything good on the first run, so we rested and restocked for the run ahead. Upon entering the area (from Copperhammer North), a normal enemy dropped a rare item. Then we went to Grenths and a Mesmer boss came and we killed it. Hoh boy...

something good-ish happened and I got 2 Mesmer Uniques (or pre-customed Epics) much to the annoyance of the Warrior Nation members

(well it was 3 players and 5 henchies) after opening a chest and getting ANOTHER rare we went to the War Camp and a friend on the Guild was ....well you get the picture, he WAS annoyed that nothing good dropped for him! xD

i get a decent amount of greens, maybe 1 every 10 runs, but thats enough for me, i already bought all the necro ones like the day after the patch, so i just sell the ones i get, but green farming isnt all that anymore, i mostly farm runes(i can get up to 12 sometimes in a half hour) and crystalllines(ive gotten 3 in 2 months, not quick, but good money)

theres a couple in my auction right here if you dont believe me

Kula · Nov 13, 2005, 10:09 PM // 22:09

I'll see your lucky drop and raise you with my luckier drop of a razorstone in a full henchie team of 8.

imaginary friend · Nov 13, 2005, 10:17 PM // 22:17

Robin_Hood · Nov 15, 2005, 08:45 AM // 08:45

i got lucky, but, it was wierd... It wasn't a green, cuz i was on my lvl 9 mesmer. I'm relatively new to the game, ive had for about, oh, say, 4 weeks. Anyway, im running myself on my mesmer (weird...) to that church-type place in Pockmark flats and since its a mesmer i cant afford drag on the 1st part, Eastern Frontier. So, I kill a lvl 8 plague devourer. Guess what it drops? Black dye. so, im like "sweet, lalalalala" etc. then, i kill a lvl 4 carrion devourer, not 5 minutes later, and it drops... Black Dye! now, im like "Holy Crap! sweeettt!!!" (remember im a newb!) so, i get on my main acc, Robin, and i have this Sup. rune of Divine favor, sum dude buys 4 7k, prices on dye go up at night, i sell everything and make 22k...

The Morale of the Story: Noob + Black dyes = Quick Droks

Last run into SF gaved me: Wroth's Holy Rod, Morgriffs Scepter and The Stoneheart and my farmingbuddy zero

(guess that he was mad...).

Run before that gave me Brohn's Staff and Grognars Defender

1st run, 3ppl and 2henchie, 2nd run 2ppl and 4henchie

I like that place

AncientPC · Nov 20, 2005, 10:26 AM // 10:26

I got 2 more Gorrel Canes. It seems like that's all that ever drops for me.

ange1 · Nov 20, 2005, 10:27 AM // 10:27

i have a full party 8/8 for orozar, and there were only 2 greens out of 10 bosses. guess what?
all mine~
ps. savio said he hates me =D

Amity · Nov 20, 2005, 10:56 AM // 10:56

I haven't done the SF run many times but i have killed over 30 bosses from there and have only had two green items....

Morgriff's Staff
Energy +10
Cold Dmg:11-22 (req.9 Death Magic)
Improves Casting Speed (10%)
Improves Skill Recharge (10&)
Armor +5
Armor +5

Ok for the next one...

EXACT SAME

!!!!!!!

This might have been not so bad, but i dont use death (so i wont use one) and no one else wanted to buy them. So it ended up being 46 Gold from the merchant. P.S i tried selling this staff for weeks and no one was inteseted.

I have a question...Why the heck would you need X2 Armor +5 on a staff (c'mon how much better would a +30 health or +5 Energy mod be) . Surely there is some use for it that im not seeing, but from where im sitting it looks like Anet made this staff as a (man do i feel sorry for the player getting this....wait no we're not).

lishi · Nov 20, 2005, 10:57 AM // 10:57

I seen the most lucky ppl yestarday , rago staff , superior vigor , grognar vampiric sword Oo in une run ...

me -> nothing
