Zehtuka's items
Originally, there was the spoiler text below, concerning the Zehtuka's Pack drop rate:
Zehtuka Pack - Theory(s)
Well, this run isn't static. Despite the idea i had, it seems to depend on the character AND the account.
Don't get me wrong, every time i had a PvE character on one of my 2 main accounts who hadn't had a Zehtuka item (and who had never even been in that zone, but not very important), i'd make a few trips to that zone (Poisoned Outcrops) alone (no one in the group) and after the bridge, he'd always be there, without exception, and that's been the case for years. I now count 13 dropped in this area. Including the tests of the last few days.
It had become a ritual, a habit, i didn't even question whether it would work or not. And interestingly (or not...) it was always between ~40-50 runs, not on the 100th, not on the 2nd, not on the 17th, etc, always in this range. Skeptics will say it was just luck, but over more than 10 packs, nevertheless interesting to note, no? And luck can also be provoked, if that's possible.
When i posted in the topic: How did Guild Wars treat you today? I wanted to do some more tests to be sure that the farm was static and could therefore be repeated with a character as i described above and still between ~40-50 tries. In the last 2 days, i've created 6 characters, which i've run there, with 3 different accounts. But after 2 characters on the second main account, it no longer fell that way. It still fell, but after about 100 runs. I took a blank account (never used) and run a character there. I didn't get it until the 85th run, not between ~40-50. On closer inspection, the more runs you make on the same account, the greater the number of runs, with the added factor of luck, of course.
My theory is that it works with a time factor on top of everything else. When i used to do it, it was every 6 months / 1 year, no more. Here, i've pushed my luck with several characters over just 2 days. In my opinion, a test with blank account tends to suggest that the "state of the account" is also responsible for luck. It reminds me of the treasures in Nightfall. It takes a while to get something back into those chests (reset). And once you do, even if it's still luck, you'll (probably/surely) have a better drop with a newly created character who's never opened it. Not to mention that the gold in it increases over time, reaching a ceiling at some point. Once again, even if it's all down to luck, you can always put it on your side.
So now I'll have to wait and retest, if i get them again, still in the ~40-50 runs range, if I let 2-3 months go by. Let me remind you, they never fell the 1st time, nor the 5th, nor the 10th, nor before ~40-50, in the years i've been doing it, i've had 9 this way with characters who'd never had it. Those who got it, never got it a second time, even after hundreds of tries, although that doesn't mean it's impossible.
That's all there is to it. Sorry if i put myself forward too much, i was wrong. But i think that digging into these options and tests will prove interesting over time. After 6 test characters and seeing the number of cross on the sheets next to me, hundreds of runs in this area... i'm taking a break
i can't see this area in paint anymore!Note: Please count the number of runs in the case of tests on your side.
Now several points, in relation to what has been said in spoiler:
- I managed to get Zehtuka's Pack with a character who had already had it once. I was in HM with heroes. Maybe the HM and the favor, participate in the drop rate of Zehtuka's items in this area. I had a higher drop rate when considering the 3 Zehtuka items in this area. Zehtuka's Jug seems to be more often present in HM. The Zehtuka Jug has a higher drop rate than the other 2 items
- Even so, this path is the most interesting for Zehtuka items. It's easy to access, allows you to get all 3 Zehtuka items (I'm not counting Zehtuka's Great Horn, which is static and can be easily obtained in mass).
- There are plenty of chests in the way if you want to link this search to Chestrun (0-4 in the way).
- I've never had more than one object at a time in the instantiated zone.

As i'm a very bad guy, i'm coming to taunt you a little before bedtime
(about 12 hours to go and i'll create this little tutorial on Zehtuka) It's hot to get it back with the character solo and his basic armor at 10/eden lol.
-
out of eden? why no be more specific and clear, I am confused.
I may be wrong here, but i believe he's talking about Crystal Overlook and Zehtuka's Pack quest
No, it's just that to run new test characters to the NF Sulfurous Wastest, the shortest way is to create them from Eden, nothing more.
Anyway, we'll look at all that in a dedicated topic, i'll be creating one on Zehtuka items shortly.

During the favor, on a full moon day, i drink a grog and use Lunar Fortune... no, i'm kidding :p
I had shared this, but to see no one succeeded (?) hence my great astonishment, because there's nothing magical about it. I think they weren't doing it exactly like me.
I'm going to run a few more characters to work out a little tutorial and establish some rules. Basically getting a new character out of Eden -> Desert of Sulphur and getting one takes ~3 hours (3 hours from creation to drop pack). But, importantly, you can only have 1 per character. You don't need to run through this place 10,000 times, you'll never get a second one.

If you dislike directly my post and then ask a question, it's not going to make me want to answer you, and it's not going to make me want to create a little tutorial to explain it to the community. I'd also like to point out that i'm translating into English, as i'm not fluent in that language. Please be patient or ask a question before judging, thank you.

is this the same for the bow?
also is there a technique for the bow too?
I'm going to try it out, at least for the alcohol, but i have no idea (?) I'm sure about the packs, though.

My good old technique [...]
care to elaborate?

My good old technique still works when i need one for a new character, 100% guaranteed (~1 hour). My 9th

sadly going for os for 10vs xx shields is usually a bad option: the mod is counted as bonus armor, which is capped at +25 and often a build has at least an armor boosting skill that then makes the shield mod useless. inscs +10ar are consodered as core armor and hence do not suffer from the cap. sad game mechanics.
So, if this is confirmed, then i don't understand certain prices (apart for rarity/collection) like for example with OS shields vs Demon. Edit: after rereading my last sentence, i've come to the conclusion that i don't understand the prices on this game today anyway

Hi,
I couldn't understand why some of my inscribable shields refused to add the +30HP, which i add last, in the "right" order:
I found a discussion on the wiki page, which gives no answer: Talk:Shield: Order of mods, bug ? And i found the answer! .. I don't know whether i'm going to teach someone something or revisit something i've already seen 10,000 times. When you apply an inscription: Armor +10 VS xxx, this will inevitably take last place among the 2 shield mods. Example with the same shield and a different inscription from the first example:
So there's no need to pull your hair out, pray to the 5 gods or buy another shield, it all depends on the mods and nothing else. All that remains is to find you OS shields with the right order for the mods: armor +10 VS xxx. Note: it's the same with focus inscr.

Afaik only party members affect drops, heroes are such, but summons/npcs are "allies" therefore they should not.
As for an invocation, it's in the group window under: allies (whether allies influence the drop remains to be seen).
Here, Kormir is an ally, but he's invincible and not in the group window. Hence the doubt about allies in the group window and allies outside the group window.
-
Hi,
I'd seen posts saying that summons, such as Legionnaire Charr, lowered the drop rate, as did heroes. I haven't seen anything official about this and was wondering if Kormir, as a pnj in a co-op and not taken into account in the group window list [P] could also lower the drop rate. What about it?

I wish you all a happy new year, both in GW and in real life!
I haven't seen an identical topic in other years, so I don't know if a topic has been opened for this before and if I'm in the right place (?)

With music it's more classy

220 gold. No max (8-16) merch.
-
All merch! Shi* skin and no "very" rare item. But if you know a player buy this shi* for 1a or more pm name of.
-
Me and Blind when we see a no max and non clean value dead staff
Yes, but you must admit you like it. After you've broken everything. You can clean it up.
-
First chest with new caracter.

According to the wiki, if we look at the quests, missions and zones, there is only one exception: Solitary Colossus, during the primary quest: Horde of Darkness. And yes, the drop is possible with the monolith, but (...)
-
not bad..
already better
-
-
According to the wiki, yes. But it's easy to access. (2 accounts, 1 of which stays close to the portal, to respawn zones faster (?)
-
Any know if the low lvl foes from ''A Deal's a Deal'' drop stuff?
There's no reason why this shouldn't be the case. If you want to farmer them, you can also test these low lvl at Crystal Overlock... Perhaps simpler than the quest mentioned (?)

it's a nice days
[06:38] sleepless night or 2nd job?

Edit: it actually works if i move around the text with the arrow keys (Otherwise the text is not selectable). But not via the link option.
Edit 2: I've also noticed that when text is placed to the right of an image, when the post is re-edited, the text automatically sticks to the image, even if a space has been added beforehand. This means you'll have to find another solution or re-edit all the text in the post (if you don't want the text to stick to the image).
-
Iaerah Neutral_CH Actually jk, you can hyperlink alternate text. You just have to type it out first, highlight the text you want to link, and then insert the URL.
For example:
1. I create a text to which I'll link a hypertext and use the appropriate option.:
2. I add the hypertext link:
3. It is then impossible to edit the text, is only available for the hypertext link and doesn't work if i just want to edit the text without the option (= have to redo the text, then the hypertext link):
-
-
Before identifying it, i said to myself: it would be nice with restoration... well no!
-
-
I can't help with the hyperlinks or spoilers, but pressing shift+enter will create less space between new lines than just enter.
Thanks, i've been able to shrink my signature which had become too long.
Otherwise, when i want to edit a text that has a linked hyperlink, i can only edit the link, not the associated text, as was the case before.

Hello,
It's not my habit to send someone back into the game, but for these items you'll find sellers every day in Kamadan US, for 1e/ea. It's an easy-to-find item.

Even if you could get between 1k and 5e, this skin and this requirement are not sought-after. You'll waste too much time selling it for the price. So it's not worth it, even with another account that AFK to Kamadan for the sale.
-
This bow is not searched, at best unidentified, it is worth 1k (identification value for the title).
If you're new and want to get an idea of what's searched for, look here: https://kamadan.gwtoolbox.com/ (live chat WTB/WTS from kamadan US with integrated search system)
But prices are also subject to speculation, just like IRL. This is just to get an idea, without exact confirmation. Nevertheless, you'll get a clearer idea of what to farm to resell (quickly).

Hi,
I don't know if this is recent or not, but how to change the background of: Custom User Title. Does it depend on a status or can it be customized with code or something?
-
You might notice quite a bit of changes, should you find any bugs feel free to let me know.
