great weekend

found out late friday we had grog drops
dashed over to pre made a new char
farmed and traded grog for char stacks..
all round not a bad weekend

Grats? Grog did seem to have a pretty high drop rate though.

I got 3 Bottles of Grog after Vanquishing 2 zones in the desert. Fun to get them but I didn't see a very high drop rate for them personally.

^ Same for me.. except only 2. Decided to take firewater with me for the next vanquish. Running around Turai's Procession drunk as a skunk makes it a lot more interesting. Until you realise you havent deactivated the "Battle of Turai's Procession" quest and quickly get swarmed by Margo's.. I was trippin' man, trippin'.

i was getting around 10 drops per
run through green hill county
swapping 16grog per stack..

I think they programed it different. Could be wrong. But it seemed to Increase in drops when I killed different types of foes. (Killed scale then went to bandits. for an example)

I got 3 stacks in 7 1/2 hours of farming through out the weekend.

Anyone else notice a larger rate of white dye drops? I had received maybe 11 or 12 in the past year, then 7 this weekend.
Odd coincidence, my next highest dye drop count was 4 (reds, purples, yellow, brown)

i didnt mention i got 30 dyes this weekend
including 2 black in pre

I notice alright, raptors gave me 16 white dyes, 12 on Sunday, yesterday I played the least because I was watching Football.................my Jaw was on the flaw Sunday, I had 5 drop in a row, it was crazy, for a sec I thought the system was broken.

So, did anyone actually do GvG?

This weekend was about GvG, lol.

edit: ah Shayne beat me to it ^^ but yea, great weekend, only 3 pts off champion even though I wasnt at home, only a few hours.

found a way to make the chest pop up near/in the raptor cave
and a new super degre way...sold 2 stack grog... 100+unide
....and made a last stack before beedtime

note..still need to find the "req 7" spot..

It was indeed quite a nice weekend for the Grogs, more weekends like these and the MOX update will continue to promote good will with the community which has felt a bit burned out lately.

PS q7 non max gold? Why bother?

consider this: other holiday events have multiple types of drops, ale and clovers, eggs and bunnies, maybe it's not so much that grog was a high drop rate as much is it is that it was the only holiday item dropping, so it occupied the entire possible drop rate set forth for holiday items.

I loved this weekend event. Good Job Anet

It really was quite fun, Thank you Arenanet!

For some reason the holidays and mini events seem more fun this year.

well personally i found this weekend pretty beneficial for my wallet, for real, all weekend i power traded grog, not much, started buying at 300 selling at 350 for a secured sell, and my guild leader who trades a lot of alcohol told me to buy all alcohol i could at 300-400 gold each,and hold on to it for 2 weeks, and after that, sell grog for 150g/point

grogs are 5 points

i started with 150k, and im gonna end with nearly 500k

I agree, a very fun unexpected weekend with a whimsical theme. It should also have made all the whiners who were complaining about last weekend's fort aspenwood and jade quarry event not being a 'pve' event just shush!

i think Anet has caught on; dont let players anticipate anything then give a normal update and watch the praises soar.

anyways, cool drop. going through dungeons with the screen not even functioning as a prot monk is leeeeet.
