2025 New Items Drop Locations

  • Just pulled this off a Stonewolf's corpse in Ice Cliff Chasms, wondering if they could drop any q8 max of these?

    Gold version definitely possible from level 20. White or Blue can drop from higher levels.

    This is the closest I have gotten so far, shows promise

  • Purple lesser Etched sword from normal mode chest in fmaw, do new skin golds drop normal mode chests? or just the former pvp skins that drop foes also nm

    NM chests have dropped bonus items skins, namely in: Southern Shiverpeaks, Realm of Torment, and Depths of Tyria. (No NM chest drops were reported in Factions so far.) On the other hand, HM chests seem to drop new items in all areas.

    PVP skins have a different drop pattern than bonus item skins, as they seem more regional. It's interesting that Etched was found in a dungeon. All previous reports of Etched were in Norn areas. Perhaps dungeons in the area are also considered a Norn area in some way? Need more data to find out.

  • It might be possible that low req can drop from low level foes in "high level areas". Someone correct me if I'm wrong but for enemies that can be seen wielding weapons, the only golds they can drop are those weapons? It could be possible that in proph/fac/nf these foes can't drop the new items because they weren't implemented in this context due to technical issues or simply laziness, since only eotn drops the new items in non-gold quality. This would explain why Slave spirits don't drop anything new even though they're in a high-level area.

    Edit: nvm this seems unlikely given that Dragon mosses don't seem to drop anything... I really don't know at this point. That lone Rock beetle seems to be an anomaly.

    Edit2: for some reason I thought Mosses were lvl 20 so the above might still be possible. Still, the fact Mosses don't seem to drop anything is odd on its own.
