I farmed most of oppressor weapons a few months back and never got a single WiK drop but today, while farming my last one, already got 3 confessor's orders.
Was there any update that i missed in the meantime? And if confessor's orders drop is it safe to assume that the other drops can be gotten there too?

There is a thread on this subject (sort of) and the consensus was that no WIK items drop in the Kieran quests. iirc....

Confessor's Orders are speculated to drop, but I do not believe it has been 100% confirmed with screenshots or not.

It is known that other WiK item do not drop. It is possible to get Rotscale's bow, in fact, it has a 100% drop rate (note, it is possible for the bow to drop from one of the bone dragons, in which case it will not drop from Rotscale).

I had the same opinion since i never got 1 in all but the last weapon i'm farming now. But today i already got 6 of them so I'm guessing that something changed. (What are the odds of farming 10 weapons with no drops and now getting 6 and i'm still 1/4 for the last one...)

If SS are needed here's some.





I knew that there was some questions about that but i thought that between necroing an old thread or creating a new there wouldn't be much difference. My apologies if i did something wrong.

In my experience with 11 toons through the WiK content and a good stint at farming the Mantle's Guise I would say the the Confessor's orders drop better during those then they do just farming out and about in Kryta. I have only had two WiK green drops and both were not in the Keiran part of Wik so I cannot confirm that those drop. It is not uncommon for me to farm the Guise and get three orders a run.

Orders do drop during keirans quests but we also need to consider that hotn is in a way wik part II - also we need to consider as no1 else has mentioned it that when you do the keiran quests you also recieve war supplies ( bit of a big giveaway that but ppl forget that ).
Orders i reckon have a real low drop rate - those of us who have done the wik vq`s would agree that even on a vq you may be lucky team wise and get a few between you all.
If your farming orders - your better farming the first kieran quest for war supplies and there was a post ages ago to do with farming them and the first mission and how its possible to run most of that quest and complete it within around 6 mins.So thats say 5 war supplies every 6 mins and an easy 50 an hr ( allowing 10 mins total for outpost/merching etc )

Had maybe 3 or 4 green drops with a very lot of war supply farming. They are just very rare drops.

I'm just farming supplies for the oppressor sword, by just running the arrowhead mission over and over again (not killing most of the groups on the way to get a +/- 4min run).
But I noticed the orders drop, that never happened on any other weapons i farmed before (and i got them all from that mission since i only bothered to get 1 char over WiK).

Just thought that it was new since i never saw a confirmation of them dropping here.

I took 7 chars through when this was brand new and not once ever saw a WiK related drop. If they fixed it, great, this could have been more useful if it behaved like this all along however.

Farmed 3 stacks of orders at the large camp in Nebo Terrace outside Beetletun. For all the runs that took I saw 4 green weapon drops total including a Firebrand. As many have noted they are quite rare and don't seem to follow any specific pattern except the obvious profession ties.
