The "nice drop I got today" thread

Nice drops from explorables in Eye of the North are close to zero. Actually general drops from explorables in Eye of the North seem to me to be close to zero. The explorable area drops have been even worse for me Eye of the North Hard Mode, bordering on the absurdly bad.
Let's not talk about the dungeons in EotN. They have been a waste of time for me; or at least let's say I could have gotten more and better loot in the same amount of time elsewhere.
The good news is, I do find fairly decent drops in Normal Mode and Hard Mode in the other chapters, although Hard Mode in lowbie areas seems to consistently drop better loot for me for some perverse reason. I leveled from 5 to 7 in Lightbearer with my Ranger in RoT Hard Mode, and didn't get any good drops up there in Hard Mode that I can remember. However, I have gotten very nice drops in RoT in Normal Mode, particularly from Margonites.
If you want loot from general drops in explorable areas, my advice is don't bother with Eye of the North. GW:EN is intended as a money sink, a gold sponge, for the other three chapters is my best guess. Not speaking as an authority on that, just my general sense of why the drops in EotN are so poor.
For loot, go to the other three chapters, never the same map twice. Do some missions, important that you do some missions now and then. Mission a day keeps the loot nerf away. Do a bit of PvP too, generally one round in Random Arenas or at Fort Aspenwood every few days is enough.
There is loot in this game. Only last night I had to once more make room in my storage, it being once more full of greens and golds.

Not really any good general drops in GWEN at all. About the only thing I get are destroyer cores here and there. Except that I did score 1 golden rin relic after a couple of runs. Course, I pretty soon found out that was a fluke after a lot more runs, and just sold the thing since there was no way I was going to find enough without doing like 1000 runs or something.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand I just got The Bonehewer too. Weird... two green drops on the same day without even trying; I'm just gathering enough collector drops so I can outfit my heroes. I'm not even playing on HM or anything.
now im up around 20 in the bank xD
