60/60 Exploit
We’ve added additional tracking on variations on the so-called “60/60” PVP item exploit; when we’re satisfied with the data we are seeing in terms of effectiveness, we will trigger the code to remove improper upgrades from additional items (Red items and Shields).

Got these + sup vigor + shaman insignia from like 30 minutes of Pongmei today. I've gotten a lot of sup vigors lately, ever since the price dropped to ~20k. I wonder if they buffed the vigor drop rates and didn't say anything. Normally I'd chalk the low prices up to just normal price fluctuations, but I've got 5 or 6 over the past week or so, I've never got so many in so little time before. But it could always just be luck. Has anybody else been getting more vigors than usual?

Also Sad Favor Drop. in q8 +5e could have been a nice one
200g then obv

Just 6 more to go!

I had 4 sup vigors this week. Was also wondering about the amount.

They probably did boost the droprates for Melandru characters and the reason for prices being low is... a lot of people are playing on their Melandru characters so nobody's buying.
My prediction for inflation on runes (mats already started a few days ago) is to ramp up around anniversary event (yes I am Warren Buffet of Kryta)

Oh what a nice hammer, its even q9!

wow....

Update February 13, 2026
60/60 Exploit
We have triggered the code to remove improper upgrades from additional items (Red items and Shields).
So, the problem was that the 60/60 weapons whose skins had been modified after their creation were not deleted (test / return from 2weeks before the deployment of the February 13 update). Is this the case, can anyone confirm it? Is it definitely over (finally)?
-
Yes it's over, my PVP chars are no longer with those 60/60 weapons.

Hi all!
I've been back for less than a month after a 15-year break from the game... Guild is practically dead with only one other active member and with no saved skill templates, I knew I was in for a lot of pain so I decided to pick up a copy of Young Heroes of Tyria in order to get a feel of the game again.
It was painful indeed but I pushed on and completed the book, hoping with each mission, the drops would make up for all the deaths and some horrible wipes...
Was it worthwhile?
Apart from a couple of elite tomes, the chest drops were horrible. However, mobs at Gates of Kryta dropped a couple of surprises:
Non-max unfortunately, but hey, it's still a Dead Bow
And a little further into the mission:
Clean...
But it's a max req 9 Fellblade, so I'll keep it as a good luck charm
A little further on into the mission:
The req 13 isn't a problem but the -5 on a 20 energy warrior... No thanks... I'll just stash it with all my other trash... It's still a Sephis afterall

I'm into my second book now... Also picking up on the game skills again and running with consets to minimise time and silly deaths when I charge into mobs with my heroes flagged half a mile away...

Today, I popped into The Frost Gate... One of my least favourite missions due to the length but since it is the holidays, I decided to run the bonus as well for the extra mobs:

This came out of a chest... Lockpick broke...
Cleaned it, and it will find a place next to the clean Fell for now... Conset up, pushed on, and this dropped from the next chest:
I don't think ArenaNet likes me...
At least the lockpick was saved... Off again towards the bonus mission, and a Summit Axe Wielder decides to drop this near the chest for the plans:
I



Summit Axes, but I had never thought of getting a req 8 +5 energy Summit Axe in the past as I had a +5 req 9 Chaos Axe for my monk which was good enough... Here's the thing... I emphasise on word 'had'...Wanting to try out Dhumm Covenant on my return... I deleted my PvP monk which I though was an empty storage unit... As the Chaos Axe is not on my rp monk... I guess it has gone to the big black hole of cyberspace...
Hmmmm... Should I be happy or sad...

Anyway, just saying... Do the bonuses...

Melandru's Accord Character Weapon Updates:
I've been playing my Ranger Melandru's Accord character a ton lately and having so much fun! I rushed to be able to farm Mantids when favor is up, and it's paid off wildly. I've collected well over 100k raw (I sit at about 90k because of gold cap and spend the excess on Lockpicks) and have acquired several stacks of raw materials. I wanted to share some weapon drops I've farmed along the way:
My main bow. It dropped during my first run of Arborstone. I acquired the mods along the way and salvaged them from other bows.
I was just farming Mantids during favor and had TWO Q9 +5e weapons drop (The Celestial Sword dropped as-is, I couldn't believe it).
Clouded Maul is my favorite hammer skin in the game, so I was entirely happy to have this drop as well. Can't wait to use it for RaO Bunny Thumper. I had a Q9 14% Stance purple version that held the mods previously; I got lucky when salvaging.
My main SF enchant weapon. I had a 19% Enchant until yesterday, and one finally dropped for an upgrade. I was so excited.

All in all, Melandru's Accord has been a breath of fresh air. People have their complaints, but I think it's a great thing for the game.
