Green Items and the Droppage
jhamb747
if u see a boss wielding the green item he drops does that mean he willl drop it if u kill him?.. and if he isnt wielding the item is there a chance that he willl drop it?

A few updates back bosses always wield their green weapon... they just dont drop it every time.
Dauntless
What update says that. In my personal experience Bosses only wield their weapons eometimes. I have been on alot of BP runs in Sorrows lately and none the bosses don't always wield their weapons. But I have noticed they will only drop their weapon if they are wielding it, but they still may not drop it even if they are wielding it.
RebelHero
It didnt say that in any update... and its only in cantha as far as I know... Probably because of the way Sskai was being farmed... 'Look at his sword, if he is wielding it he will drop it'.. Worked the first few days when I farmed him... new update and suddenly he always has the same sword in his hand. Just so the 'look and farm' trick wouldnt work anymore.
Dauntless
Well bosses in Cantha also don't always wield their item either.

IT doesnt really mean they will. Whenever i farm rajazan he is always holding a wicked blade. But once in a while he will be holding his sword, and it will drop. Other bosses will always be holding their weapon, Ex. Sskai, Geoffer, and Merki, but they dont always drop the green item they have.

I've had Rajazan drop when he wasn't holding his sword.
RebelHero
Yup thats true... Rajazan has always been holding a wicked blade and a wand when I was farming him. Some bosses are wielding their own weapon more often or even always than others. But as I said... its just to make it confusing wether or not they actually have the weapon or that it will be best to stop the run and rezone. That was the whole point of my post, you can never be certain if the weapon will drop. But some bosses (as the forementioned Rajazan) will drop their weapon when you can see the visual weapon, if for some unlucky reason he will drop a standard broadsword :P

Heres a little tip to increase greens dropping: Usually a boss will drop their green the first or second time you kill them if you haven't been farming previously. If the boss refuses to drop, do a mission or something pvp-related and come back later. Its better than farming the boss 30+ times and him/her not dropping the green. I went on a green spree and got 4 greens in about an hour (rajazan fervor, strongroots shelter, chkkrs flatbow, sskai's sword). Hope this helps!

I've seen him wield his sword and not drop it twice before.

Yeah rajazan drops his sword regardless if he is holding it... and there is a way to kill merki..... a touch ranger
Just make sure u have whirling, lightning, and throw dirt. It takes a while to kill him. Just kill the groups in front of him. Then pull him with a longbow. Ive farmed him alot but he never drops for me
Well good luck with it if you do try

Merki does indeed drop his shield on occasion, I've bad touched my way to 3 now. I usually pull and kill the carps at the shrine, then run to a safe spot along the north wall just west of Merki's and the two outcast groups. Pull and kill the nearest outcast group (you can ignore the other), Then either take out his group or just pull him out, you'll notice sometimes Merki will patrol seperately from his group...
He always looks like he's wearing his shield, but thats because its the standard skin for outcast shield, so you'll just have to roll the dice and kill him.

wow never thought of using a touch ranger ty :and wats that wammo build?
VitisVinifera
a lot of ppl want to solo Merki, but I've duo'ed him a bunch. It goes a lot faster, and it's safer too. Plus it's nice having a friend along instead of being by yourself.
I did communing rit and echo ss'er. Throw down the spirits and pull the outcasts to them.

Me and my friend were farming some Rhea's Crater area, milthuran I just dont pay attention, Arius is too hard to see (but we got his daggers twice). And then Lorelle jade cutter who we killed at least 15 times when it looked like she had the bow and nothing.

so i gave that touch ranger a whirl and i can kill every1 but merki himself cuz when i get him down to about 1/2 hp he uses executioners strike and he kills me like instantly..my build btw is--Touch --Bite--OoB--Life Siphon--thrw dirt--dodge -- whirling--and zojuns haste-
my attributes are
12 blood
16 exp (sup rune +head gear0
so dodge/ zojuns give me 76% chance to block for 11 secs and whirling lasts for 21 secs with the 75% chance to block
and thrw dirt lasts for 16 secs

if u want to kill merki u HAVE to have lightning reflexes also. U need three things to keep him blinded/ unable to hit you. And it doesnt hurt to have a 20/20 blood icon so ur oob recharges faster.

I'm working on green drop rates at this very moment, killing several bosses and keeping track of the drops, so far:
Chkkr 1000 tail 1 green 1 golden item 1 goldenscroll in 12 runs
Chkkr lotus lord 1 green 1 goldenscroll in 6 runs
Xuekao 2 greens 1 rare rune in 9runs
Strongroot 2 greens in 9 runs
Ritualist constr 1 green in 9 runs
Stonereap 1 green 1 golden item 1 goldenscroll in 9 runs
Rajazan 1 golden scroll in 15 runs
Byzzr wingmender 1 golden scroll in 15 runs
Geoffer 1 green 2 goldenscrolls in 15 runs
Lou of the knives 1 green 1 goldenscroll in 15 runs
As I said, I'm still working on it. Will post the percentage of green drops after 30 times farming them I think.

I don't use Lightning Reflexes. Never ever use Life Siphon as a toucher.

care to tell me why not ?

I use life siphon rarely, because on some bosses it has an odd effect, like they stop using a certain skill, I tend to kill the ritualist construct way more easy with it than without it. But to most bosses, life siphon is a pure waste of energy
pve-er
I solo Xuekao 30+ times and he never drop a dagger on me
makosi
Life Siphon is a spell which undermines the whole toucher build. 10 energy is too much and its not good healing nor good degen.

Hi!
Before i tought you got greens only when boss was wielding them but now after many days and years of farming i noticed that is not true. That i was thinking like this is because i got moust of em when boss had em.
Like ppl sad before i got to razjasans sword from him when he didnt had it.
I noticed do that he drops the sword for me always when hes wielding it. Geoffer is imposible , i killed him 60 times i counted then a green shield lol.
Merki is easy to farm just kill the first group on the hill the lure him with longbow.
Som strange happend to me in sorrows., I killed Gargash and he droped 2 bows for me , stinger and recurve.
I think this will kill the myth that boss must wield greens. another example was my friend got Ragos Staff and he didnt have it.
