that pre dungeon chest just seems to drop me a bunch of materials dyes and purple crap, hanging out for something cool still...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

What level are you? I've been getting gold drops exclusively with lvl 18+ groups. Haven't seen a purp since my lvl 14 runs.

For Purple and Gold, it depends on all the members of the group, not just one, from what I understand. If a member's level is too low, the group don't get any gold. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Quote from Speed Clear Ele

Or get a legio stone in post which is arguably much better than two level 15

Man are you from TG to be so salty ?

Oh yeah, I forgot they're capped at level 15, so it's not great outside of Pre.

Sorry, but English abbreviations are hard for me (TG?). But after all this time, you know I'm more of a savory person than a sweet one, right?

That means you have to create a Pre character (I'm not going to do it with my LDoA "dead leveling"), drop a horn or horns, and quit Pre with that character so they end up in your account inventory. What a pain... What about just dropping them on the ground? That doesn't work either? Ecto Sacrifice

Note: If Boss Maz drops a Charr Bag or a Charr Salvage Kit but the door is closed, you won't be able to go in and pick it up. However, you can use a gate glitch with an enemy (pull) to get to the item.

It's always good to know

Quote from Speed Clear Ele

can it be traded though?

All items that drop from a chest are like that; this one should be too.

The green version is a bit overpowered. There are only three eternal summons: Imp, Charr (reverie), and now this one. Once you reach level 20, the Horn remains the best option because it doesn’t require any skill points and lasts 60 minutes. Basically, it’s overpowered in Pre, but using it outside of Pre for these other characters is also an option.

After over 50 runs of this dungeon (and a few too many beers), I only got one gold version. How to put it... I got fed up with it (understandably), no triple-mod weapons. Now, going back to normal meaning not running the dungeon in under 10 minutes with a cupcake seems difficult to me. (I’m hardcore; that’s life.)

Okay, I'm not going to update it yet I'm already logged in. I'm going to use a few cupcakes or Devona W/P and see if...

Feedback:Game updates/20260408 - Guild Wars Wiki (GWW)

Update April 8, 2026

• Classic Prophecies loot drops as pre-Searing dungeon chest rewards have been disabled. These items would sometimes drop with extra modifiers.
• In a future update, these items will be modified or removed and classic Prophecies loot will be reintroduced as a dungeon reward.

Hmm, I don't quite get it... "Classic Prophecies loot"? But for: "with extra modifiers", it's triple mods, correct?

I'm hearing rumors that triple mods are dropping again today... Has anyone else here had a similar experience?

Just as I say that, an update from GW...

Need Rune of Holding (with new items it's difficult)

Quote from Speed Clear Ele

I don’t understand the chest rewards both os and inscr ?

both of them, at least until the fix that removed the three mods. Now there should only be inscr.

[delete]

Okay, so aside from dagger, Spear and Scythe, you won't be able to claim that weapons from Halloween 2010 are authentic (and have added value) anymore.

I also finished the dungeon, and someone mentioned that they got a no inscr. one.

I also got this item with a gold, as mentioned in the update ->

Ascalonian War Horn - Guild Wars Wiki (GWW)

Edit: scroll, horn and maybe (???)* = second item on chest. Or just one gold.

Ok ok. My bad.

If that's true, I'd love to see the look on the faces of the people who bought them a few days ago for a fortune.

• Closed the gates on Forsaken Tunnels 3 to prevent unintended chest farming.

Oops, sorry, I didn't mean to!

I like Nightfall, but today I just wanted the Vabbian armor and the PvE elite for my Paragon, nothing else

For Anet, the business model is the online store. Their goal is to make content accessible to everyone, not to cater to a small elitist group whose only remaining focus is farming and extreme collections as the game’s flagship features. That’s why, in a sense, you have players like me who can’t be satisfied with this, and others who don’t see what the problem is. Neither side is wrong, in a way. But we have to admit that they’re clumsy when it comes to communication (marketing, customer service).

Quote from trademeimfamous

if you can turn reforged mode on and off as you want, what is the point of devona requiring it?

at that point all devonas quest does is advertise reforged mode for the people who were unaware before, which i don't think can be very many by now.

If I were to echo some of the arguments made by players who oppose the critics of the Reforged mode and recent additions:

- It’s an alpha mode, so it’s normal for it to have bugs or for things to be illogical.

I’m looking forward to the beta mode! (That’s ironic, in case it needs to be pointed out).

Quote from Griffenfeld

There are animals/pets in The Marketplace in Kaineng Center. Any news about this?

This comes from an annual event in GW2 (support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals), which is why some GW1 players aren't familiar with it. ->

Quote from Chaosan

Do do I have to make a new character in pre to make it a reforged one?

Or can i bring my Ldoa Ele into Reforged Mode?

If the question is: Is this possible? Yes, you'll find a Shrine to Godly Accoutrements in Ascalon City.

Quote from Shaya

Its insane how everybody thinks his opinion is the most important.

This game doesnt belong to you. You are just in this extremely comfortaböe position to be able to still enjoy a 20 year old game without any costs. They even give us new Updates and even content. You are not alone in this game and those updates do not break the game in any sense. You are crying about a 5 hour window of now prenerf items dropping while bots have been flooding the market with purples for the last 10 years or more.

Yes there are "better" items now with the inscr ones, but that was the case since inscr got introduced in nf and still ppl prefer os ones. "Perfect" os purple still exist and u can still use those if u prefer that.

Stop crying and enjoy what you are getting offered.

We don't crying, we analyze and share differing opinions and perspectives on the game. Besides, as you so aptly point out, your opinion of us doesn't matter, we can easily do without it. However, if you have insightful opinions about the game, we're always interested.

Nothing to nerf the multi-chest... ok.

Quote from Speed Clear Ele

Hmmm?

Quote from Speed Clear Ele

Yea it's triple trouble time

Seems like you can get scrolls ...

Okay, so logically, in the same group: with one character who has the dungeon quest for the first time and another who has they’ve already unlocked Devona = 2 Adept Mullenix, 2 Charr bosses for the key on the first level, 2 crystals on the second level, and most importantly, 2 chests at the end.

So based on these screenshots, does this stack up to 2 players with the dungeon quest for the first time? Logically, we could have 3 players + another who has it by having already unlocked Devona = 3 chests at the end? (It doesn’t work if everyone has the same quest for the first time or everyone has unlocked Devona).

Okay, so in terms of frustration, this is the worst. Why would I run the dungeon again until this is fixed with an update? I mean, why run the dungeon with a group that can only drop a single chest it’s lame when I know others have multiple chests? I feel compelled to post an ad specifically targeting these groupings: LFG - Scourge only multi chests (But I already have Devona, guys, so figure out a way to get the quest for the first time, I’m not going to create a new character just for that, only to have it nerfed once it’s ready...)

nerfed the drop possibility, sorry.

so Anet introduced perfect mods for items in pre for few hours, then make them inaccessible.
nice one guys.. nice one

The world moves fast these days, and trends don't last long!

In short, the best time of a GW update in 2026 is being there in the first few hours to take advantage of the bugs.

Quote from Aeronwen

Such a shame they are messing with pre.

I’m still on the fence about all this. They are adding new elements, contrary to what I’ve sometimes said on this forum, but I’m also keeping an open mind. On the other hand, they’re going about it clumsily. For example, in Pre:

- Adding inscribable weapons in Pre? That ruins the “old-school” feel of Pre. The same would apply if Reforged were to introduce inscribable weapons in the Prophecies and Factions campaigns.

- There’s now a missing merchant in Piken Place; you have to go elsewhere to sell your items. Furthermore, adding Runes of Holding wouldn’t be a luxury, given all the inscriptions and additional items currently available in Pre.

- Devona can have every skill and profession in the game. Is this a bug? A design oversight? Was it intentional? It’s just overpowered a Swiss Army knife hero who outperforms players (anti-conditions, hex, running, spirits, etc.).

- Gold and rare items. Oops! Sorry, we didn’t think of that...

- (The 4 Charr Bosses, which had been a sacred ritual in Pre for over 20 years, no longer hold any significance today).

I wonder, in the long run, if the content updates keep being this clumsy, whether it won’t end up destroying the game rather than adding anything meaningful to it. Yes, running the dungeon was fun, I’ll admit, two or three times, but after that, I move on to something else. Will people stick around and spend money in the GW store if the content can be finished so quickly? If nothing sells in the store, the business model won’t sustain Reforged or pay the employees’ salaries. So things will go downhill, and the content will too. Overall, the Reforged hype and the potential return of players are already on a downward trend. Not to mention the difficulties they’re having getting out of alpha/beta mode.

Note: I'm not complaining, it's just an observation. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not going to wait 50 years for a train that's never going to arrive.

With Rurik tonic, the perfect match? Or just something that should have stayed a dream?:

Hotfix

• Pre-Searing dungeon drop rarities adjusted (some gold items were dropping).

Too late noob!!

/doubletake (I think we're going to need another update.. 2x final chest and 2x drop, maybe if anyone in the group is doing this for the first time(?).

Build of Devona on Pre (..)

or(?)

And Devona have all skills (pre or not) direct: run skill equiped... hhhahaahhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa i run on pre! (finaly after +20 years) Ok now 3 players and Devona not 4 players lol

They did, however, add a little joke at the end of the list.

Balance adjustments

• Decreased cooldown for Smiter's Boon (PvP) by 1 second.

That's not a bad!   (actually, sorry, but since I had to translate it manually and it was getting on my nerves, I just picked the first answer every time :D)

Quote from trademeimfamous

...but isn't the maximum material storage 2500?

Yes, but that wouldn't work with the maximum number of gold coins (1,000 everywhere).

That's beautiful, It's clean. [Don't touch it now..] Well, then, what's the point? ... Shhhtttt!

💦💦💦 (No, it's not semen, it's detergent, pm Mr. Clean(-Value) for more infos)

(That said, after buying more than 10–100 of each item from the merchant, the price can almost double. My advice is to buy from other players whenever possible. For example, if I buy 30–50 Sapphires, the price goes from 11k to 16k... And then I have to negotiate the price with other players, after having shot myself in the foot by raising the price at the merchant)...

Okay, I'm ashamed of myself—I'm going to recycle it and snort the dust that comes off it. Sorry.

Just in case I have the budget version that I haven't been able to sell for several weeks (:D) I'm going to end up giving it away.. [Go put a scythe]

Above all, this new content (original content, not just NPCs placed in instances) needs to be strategically different.

Aside from the bosses in elite zones (and certain effects in those zones), no real strategy is required in PvE, other than “smash” enemies in one fell swoop, after positioning your group on the map so as not to aggro everyone.

Making the game harder won’t change the strategy. Don’t confuse the three types of difficulty in a video game:

- Time. (Not necessarily hard, but takes time).

- Knowledge. (Requires trials, but once figured out, it gets easier).

- Competitive. (PvP, which will remain difficult because players adapt and change strategies, unlike enemys in PvE).

I can imagine the disappointment if an elite zone or dungeon were added and most players had already run through it and created a SC after just a few hours. The rewards associated with that would then also be insignificant/common.

Unless, strategically speaking, the entire current game is overhauled in Reforged Mode. For example, all enemies could have two classes, as in War in Kryta.
