first run in urgoz, group didnt last but a minute after the degen room. 1 gold chest, got a req8 curse staff and died b4 i could pick it up. the whole group died shortly after that. WEAPONS AND LOOT SHOULD BE ALLOCATED TO THE PLAYER WHEN YOU RETURN TO THE OUTPOST. Its stupid as fuk to spend 1.5k on a key and open a chest and die and not get the item because your party failed and had to return to an outpost.

2nd urgoz run, nothing. (45min tops)

1st sucessful deep run. 1 gold drop for one person out of the whole group. 1 purple chest. that was within a 2 1/2 hour timeframe.

#1 its not worth the time spent going.
#2 too hard and too time consuming.
#3 solo farming and duel uw or fow group runs are more profitable.
#4 i wont go back.

My guild did Urgoz this morning and we had two RARE drops and seen two Gold chests. Based on our run through the Urgoz elite mission, the amount of RARE drops appear to be normal.

spent about 4 hours on urgoz last night, in that time we had 2 gold chests, and one or two purple drops from mobs.

Went to uw 2 man farming, had a gold drop from first aataxe killed, then a ecto , and finally a sapphire from the third mob .
Im going to take advantage of the fact everyone is doing elites this weekend and stick with uw.

I'd heard that the drops were pretty much the same as usual and no sign of the "Double Drop", so I did TotpK, and came away with an ecto and 3 Greens,and we had 3 gold chests, plus some ppl got nice gold drops, 4 other team members got ectos as well so at this rate, - stuff the elites

Think of the hours spent playing by people thinking they were getting double loot. While some said it didn't seem like double, others called them "whiners" and said things like "double 2% is only 4%." Looks like the "whiners" win this round. Though I doubt that's much consolation.

Expect nothing, and you get more than you need. I do these missions for fun. Give the elite items to people who can't do without them.
I play monk with Wenslaus Faith, no elite skill whatsoever, and a crappy computer.
When this weekend is over, I'll be more than satisfied. We actually managed to get 12 Guildies in one team, and that rarely happens. The goal of this event is to learn how to coop and to teach the players the value of a good Guild. Not to get rich of rare items, so you can scam newbies out of their hard earned gold coins.

Well at the start of the event there was a bug that did not allow double chance drops but in a second update they fixed that. By double gold item drops means double chance for a gold to drop from monsters This means you can have a unlucky run and not see a ton of gold items drop yet you might also see a butt-load of golds drop. Last night we had about 3-6 golds drop in one run and we only made it to about the half way mark. If you dont notice more drops since the update maybe you are just having bad luck so far.

I went into the Warren with a BP Pug last night. It took us almost four hours but we completed it with the EoE trick. The drops I did notice seemed to be quite good. 12 gold drops and two Gold chests, although not a single gold dropped for me and both my chest drops were crap to the max(hp+29 zodiac staff req 12 death magic, gold fiery max zodiac daggers). When we killed Urgoz it was down to 9 of us. Silly me figuring he would drop double greens but alas he only dropped one of each, again none for me. When it was all said and done I came out with a few crafting materials and about 2k. That was the biggest waste of 4 hours ever. Sure I complted Urgoz's Warren but I have jack squat to show for it. I can make more doing Hydra runs. I won't be doing one of the elites ever again.

Anet if you're reading this, please make the elite missions worthwhile for everyone who finishes it. Having only 1/4 of the team getting a nice reward is not very fair and ballanced imo.

Finally, Anet decides to show how crap factions was to the whole community with the weekend.

Rofl, a generous intend turned into self slapping.

Seems to me that the drops are only what you'd expect to get on a tombs run or similar, except that the Elite missions here take one hell of a lot longer to complete.

I'd say pound for pound they are a waste of effort - even with "double" the drop chances.

I havent been on one yet, and I dare say that if I did I would be extatic to get a zodiac bow / sword, however the main reason for wanting to go would be to see what its like.

Knowing my luck I'd get Assassin daggers - and I havent got an Assassin lol.

Fun thing happened to me earlier tonight. I was really curious about this SB monk idea, so I went to just try and "tank" something in Urgoz's Warden. Little did I know, there were suicide bombers of some sort who charged at me along with a few more other monsters. As soon as I was hit, a rare falchion (if I recall correctly) dropped.

Too bad I was dead and couldn't pick it up..

First off Ive never done an elite mission so I dont know what the drops were like before.My first run in The Deep with a PUG netted 4 or 5 golds from chests,best was a req 11 Barbed Zodiac Daggers 15^50,rest were essentially stuff I'll never use,consisiting of staves,wayward wands and straw effigys.That PUG made it to KAnaxai but all but 4 of us bailed so we died attempting to kill him.Personally other than doing an elite I found it rather time consuming and not worth the effort,although after this weekend when all the people from the island no longer have access to them I'll give them another shot .
