2025 New Items Drop Locations

    Quote from Paulie Gualtieri
    Quote from Master Shadowkiller

    Hey.

    Yes I tried slave spirits, and still the same loot table atm. I'll try more this farm soon I guess because there's much more important to farm (WoC, Vaettirs, Fenrir, Nolani or Raptors for my top 5)

    Did you get anything from Nolani yet?

    Nope, as Red Fireball said, I also had some new mods, but the loot table is wide for the charrs, I guess it's still possible. I'll try more this weekend.

    It's like the gargoyles, I did not tried this farm after the update, but there are some chests around too, and chests have some potential new drops, so maybe gargoyles near chests too..

    Quote from Smallish Dayz

    Haven't gotten anything from halcyon yet will keep farming here the rest of the week

    I tried too, that's on my to do list also.

    I had several new items from chest but never on the assassins. Maybe some farms with attached quests are not concerned about new items?

    Except WoC because it's a different thing that secondary quest when you go out of a town?

    Seems like the list I've set up (in the 1st post) is too broad... (sorry!)

    Like, many drops are seen in the Norn area, but a lot are from Ice Cliff Chasms chest run or Chilling Wisp (or even Kveldulf), and 0 are from Vaettir...

    We could be looking at a new sophisticated loot system that determines which foes drop and which doesn't (depending on levels etc.), or just that certain foes didn't have their drop tables updated.

    ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅ ❅

    I'm thinking of adding another section, which specifies what foes don't drop.

    For example, we could document something like:
    - Spectral Vaettir (HM), Jaga Moraine, 110 golds, no new drops (besides etched)
    - Raptor Nestling (HM), Riven Earth, 75 golds, no new drops (besides stone / granite)
    - Dragon Moss (HM), Drazach Thicket, 36 golds, no new drops
    - Jade Brotherhood (HM but lvl 20), Bukdek Byway, 42 golds (excluding armor), no new drops
    ...etc (the above is just fake example)

    Then after some time we can accumulate the results and see if there is a rule. Also, we don't need to farm 1000 golds in every place by ourselves to get a reasonable conclusion. How's that?

    Just an idea, could we track in a grid form within the post that starts with a list of all of the new skin possibilities, then have 4 main sections (Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, EOTN), then 2 sub categories under each such as Foe Drop/Location and chest/Location

    Sample

    Curious, has any of the new skins been seen in Q3-Q7?

    yes. raptors nm can drop the granite and ston thingies all down to q4 and up to q7 at max damage. also ele sword.

    Thanks for all the input guys!

    Agent Chevy I like the idea of making a speadsheet, however after a few attempts I couldn't make one that is of consistent quality (and also not messy and hard to read). However I did update the list to be more informative. Please let me know if you have any further suggestions. Thank you!

    Bluey I fully understand, with all of the possibilities a single item can have, I can vision it getting messy for sure.

    I like the revisions you made, the format changes look great to me, easy to follow. The simple addition of color coding the drop location helps scan by location.

    The struggle you will have is your details is only as good as the details you get. I encourage everyone to be as specific as possible to help with the tracking.

    Thanks Bluey for starting and maintaining this page, greatly appreciated by the remaining and returning GW community.

    To add to the revised list, locked chests of Jade Brotherhood also dropped me:

    Scorpion's Lust, Black Hawk's Lust, Bear's Sloth, Dragon Fangs, Dragon's Envy, Heaven's Arch

    I'm getting a feeling that most if not all items drop regionwide regardless of source. I'll try focusing on some NM Canthan chests and HM Shing Jea chests for a partial confirmation.

    EDIT:



    Confirmed HM locked Kappa chest at Onghsang Island

    Confirmed HM locked Kappa chest at Onghsang Island

    That's the first confirmed drop in Shing Jea! The dedication! :thumbup:

    Only 2 areas without drops now: Kryta and Istan! ;)

    Quote from Lio

    Still nothing about soulbreaker?

    I've only seen one in the trade thread..

    Only 3 items without any drop info:
    Soulbreaker, Japan 1st Anniversary Shield
    and of course the elusive Glacial Blade

    I like to share a little observation.

    After about 2k chest in Ice Dome post the anniversary update, i have gotten all the new skins available in Tyria except for the new shield or hammer skins.

    Prior to the update, I ran about 20k+ chest in Ice Dome and I have never gotten shield skins other than the summit shields (SSS and SWS), and for hammer I have only gotten Summit Hammer and Giant Slayer hammer. This is also true for axe skin as I have only gotten Summit Axe in Ice Dome.

    This leads me to conclude that this game has a hard code drop table for Stone Summit enemies (maybe only in Southern Shiverpeak area) for shields, axe and hammer, and this applies to the new anniversary skins as well. So if you are hunting for the new anniversary shield or hammer skins, Ice dome is prob not the place you should farm as it only contains Stone Summit mobs.

    i welcome other Ice Dome chest runners to confirm this theory.

    Drop only on an account linked to the edition: The 20th Anniversary Masterpiece Collection.
