Sorry if this was posted already but here straight from the web site
Another Double-Your-Fun Weekend 8 August 2006
This weekend, August 11 to August 13, you'll find yourself twice as likely to nab a rare drop from any chest in Cantha. And, to help you get into those chests, you will also notice an increase in the drop rate for keys, too! Come along this weekend and see what you can add to your collection of cool items!

Sigh, im angry that there is a lack of information about when this event is suppost to be happening. I just felt like logging off and not even bothering..
Markaedw
I taking this weekend off, I need to play Napui Quarter, and the missions are being sabatoged by the chest runners. It's not "double your fun weekend" it's "chest run weekend."
Charrbane
I seem to be getting all purple items. yay!
Bibblenorn
4/4 gold. All amber wands, unfortunently.

More gold..more crap items. I can't wait. Seriously, I rather see crap gold than crap purple anyday. Brings me happiness. Yes, I am starting to feel sick, 1 more hour and I am out of here. See you guys tonight!
wilq
3/9...
so it didn't start yet or is it just my usual luck when it comes to chests?
yeah... 3/12, I think I'll just sell the rest of the keys

I wonder how long they'll keep this up. Neat though. I really like that they're doing things like this; be as cynical as you want about needing to keep people playing, it's certainly encouraging me to keep it up. |
Sir Skullcrasher
anyone got good drops yet?
RinkXing
Nothing for me, haven't been getting any keys either.
Traveller
I decided to spend the keys I had lying around before buying any new ones. Good thing I did, because frankly, I wasn't too overwhelmed by the quality of the drops. Judge for yourself:
Fun indeed.
Fun indeed.
krozz
39 keys 21 crappy gold.
neighto
yeah you didnt all get the memo where is states
"double the rare drops.. double the crappy useless gold items!"
just cause they doubled the drop rate.. doesnt mean they increased the chances of getting that 15^50 whatchyamacallit
its just another money sink created by anet to make the economy "work". As well as to keep everyone whos bored with the game, something to do!
have a fun weekend all!

Guess i won't do anything this weekend!

Actually where I've been farming Ive been getting about 80% gold chests. I suggest you guys stop farming Melrandrus Hope (which everyone else has farmed to death for at least a month) and go somewhere else 
.
I'm just guessing of course, but from the sound of the drops and screens...

Curse You
Maybe they forgot to turn on the double drops like they did for the Elite Weekend?
Lambentviper
what ive noticed is that nahpui chests have usually dropped more golds....but they are always almost all less then max damage, or have crazy high req. but i got a nice gold celest shield req. 8 tactics max armor...a shame it also has +9 pruning... -.-
ANet = scammers!!

Former Ruling
Went through ~35 keys already.
At the beginning I was getting 4/5 Gold Ratio...Now its more like 2or3/5 at best (Guess everyone is starting up chest runs so its going to crap already).
What I've came out with that was worth anything:
2 +5 Insightful Heads (their selling at 1.5-2k now..)
3 Rune Unlocks, worthless runes, but unlocks
Req9 Gothic Sword (tested, sucked, sold UNID)
Rest were Purple, or REALLY Crappy Golds. Selling the Worthless stuff, and the insightfuls and gothic made me alittle profit though (basically just better than breaking even).

Equip the weapon, and the mods are active, even if its UNID.
So put it on, and you see the Health changes, you can hit stuff to see dmg mod, and so on..
Opened about 20 more Chests, got:
another +5e Insightful
req8 Amber Longbow - sold UNID for 5k
Asil Moon
Ok back to 55 ing in my same spot this double your fun weekend isnt very fun , if it has even started.
Demesis
Remember people, double of nothing is still nothing.
Voltar
lol, people are complaining about factions and they haven't even played it?
i guess that's par. i don't think there's anything to fix those people though. you really can't compete with, "omg it's not the original game," people.

Thank you Former Ruling for that UNid insight.
Ouch..that celestial has got to hurt.
Also, did a few runs, all purples and 1 gold. Guess what the gold was? A Baneful rod! Yay me!

I'm having plenty of luck. Several Golden Phoenix Blades, an Iridescent Aegis or two, a couple Tetsubo Hammers...
Yeah, I'm enjoying it. : D

20 keys, looted 7 golds, rest purple, mostly wands etc.. all worthless with trash stats. One was even a celestial staff, odd combo, worthless stats. So , for me as far as today, waste of time. I was not even doing key runs, I fought my way thru each area, cleaned it out then used keys. Guildies reporting same thing. Most said they were done buying keys and taking a break over the weekend and not playing.
Not mad, a lil dissapointed, just reporting back.

okay, 11/12 keys were gold. A total of 5 Amber Wands (Goodbye Mourning Veil Falls), 3 Paper Fans, a runic axe, a Warden Vestements (Sup Death Magic), and a Divine Scroll.
Nothing good. Last night was more profitable. The only reason I am spending this much on keys is that I have NO desire whatsoever for 15k armor. *sigh*

2ndName
Ah, I was doing some Luxon quests and got 4 out 5 gold chests. All crap aside from 1 Zealous Archaic Axe of Warding...comes with a +5 energy to boot and a req 8.
HawkofStorms
Spent around 20 keys. Got 15 gold.
5 daggers. +29 health, +30 Heath One max with 15^50 Acurate Dagger 20+ Daggery Mastery
+28 health staff (sold unided not sure if it was wrap or head)
+29 health wrap
+5 ^ 50 wand with 10% faster casting general
Zealous 15^50 one point off max Celestal Longbow of Fortitude +30 Health
Poisonous 19 under 50 point off max Celestal Longbow of Defense
Nothing real great for selling. Sold 4 caster items unided after testing. Got a good purple offhand I can use for my farming build. A few bows with just close enough off perfect stats that are good enough to use but have no resale value (good to customize and then salvage latter for mods if I find a better one latter).
