no difference. little hint. chests with outcasts next to them have higher chance to drop outcast equipment. = jade sword + jade axe + outcast shield. basicly everything wanted in the luxon runs. if there's a lone chest and a group of outcast, lure them with u to the chest be4 opening it

It seems the update will release "Totem Axe Style" weapons where the whole species in an area can drop it, as well as Certain Boss type weapons like the classic greens.

I wont say "green" because thats a bad term if it isnt confirmed I guess.
yeah, cause there are no bosses in UW (and one in FOW)

The Totem Axe is a green and is dropped by the Root Behemoths in The Falls, not a boss. And you've got the Ice Breaker as well as the Frozen Fan which aren't dropped by Bosses. Point is, not just Bosses drop them, so greens may one day appear in the UW or FoW. Never say never.

still farming so it's no good to me to reveal exactly the location to anyone here.
Thank you x100! This little bit of information got me ~40 chests in 1 hour. Ahh now the severe decline in funds as I try and keep up with this new bad habit

Thanks again, Guinevere Ac!

BTW: No such luck... in fact, out of those 40-something, I only got 10 golds, and none of them were Jade Swords... craptastic

yea this is my personal way of farming oni blades. lone chest in the middle of nowhere, i wander around till i find some onis and i run with them till the chest... tadaaah. 3 options: oni shroud. oni daggers. oni blade.

seriosuly noone ever noticed this chest behaviour? thought it was pretty obvious. i'm sure sephix axe and dead bows hunters have this pretty clear in mind

A bit of a request... could anyone who has found the Salient Daggers post where it dropped for them, and from what monster? I've been able to fill in most of the information for the other weapons, but haven't seen anything on the daggers yet. Thanks!

Take your own advice, it is indeed a Stone Crusher skin The Vera is the only Tetsubo-skinned green.

Wow, that's really neat. Never heard it before, I guess if it works then not many people know about it (til now, of course ).

Has anyone confirmed that they have had a Jade Sword "drop" from one of the Outcast foes.

I've cleared out all the Outcasts in Rhea's Crater since the new update (quite a few times, and doing other stuff in between runs) and have seen no sign of this sword.

Who knows? Maybe these only come from chest drops and not foes, hence my original question...

I just dropped the new daggers from a Canthan chest:

The weird thing is that only one dagger is "recolored":

When you'll enter in a town, both will be the same color. It happen often with any dyeable dagger like chakram.

I did and I find it quite annoying. I just got that bow from a Luxon Chest surrounded by some Naga mob (Sskai's).

Sorry Guinevere but I still don't buy your 350 chests in a day.

Yeah, I'm now defending Guinevere, tried that technique and it works fabulously. I can get about 7 chests per 10 minutes now. That's 42 per hour. In about 8 hours, I could have 350 chests, too, if I really felt like it. I'm sure Guienevere has a good spot and has been doing this long enough to get that in a much shorter amount of time.

Believe it, chest farming at it's finest. Though, poor me, I still haven't gotten a single Jade Sword (or much less any gold worth a damn). That behaviour of certain mobs hanging out around chests causing the chest drop to be specific is quite odd. Never heard nor thought of it before. Gonna have to keep my eyes peeled, most definately.

I said Rendering too.

LongSword and Flamberge are ok. Flamberge was actually the first sword I'd use in Chapter 1, just dont see "perfect" ones enough.

Butterfly skin is Thin. Badly rendered the blade.

Katana looks good on a caster. Thats about it.

Vertabreaker is HORRIBLY rendered.

I forgot what a shinobi blade looks like >_>

Agreed. Those of us who mainly use casters are getting the short end of the stick here.

Well, casters aren't weapons-based, so they must feel it's more important that the people who actually use their weapons get the bulk of the cool skins. Doesn't make it fair, but I wouldn't be suprised if this was ArenaNet's logic. Still total BS...

i really think they need to address the mods that spawn on wands/staves enough of them drop (not new rares but in general) and 99% are junk because the mods never spawn max with the same attribute mods let alone the same attributes the wep req is

jade staff reg10 domination
hrs 19% earth
hct 19% divine
armor +7 vs lightning

crap like that

cmon how hard is it to set som if statements that won allow the mods to diver at the least from what class the attributes are selected from

if the req is domination the hsr/hct should at the lest be mesmer and beyond that a real fix would to then run a second pass to only allow the hsr/hct to be of the same attribute...

yea off topic but in response the whole "caster hate" paranoia is hard to be believable considering how many wands/staves drop.... yea they have rediculous mods but thats bad programming

I doubt that revealing teh location helps much. Maybe if you pass that luck charm of yours or something :P been farming silent surf for last 2 days, bout 80-100 chests (i know, not much) and about 30% were gold. 75% of those 30 were caster items. The rest bows and daggers and a gay jade axe. No sword yet!
Guess i shall move over to 2 manning underworld again. one question: do gloom shields only drop from chests or any mobs drop them as well? anyone got a drop from the smites or aataxes yet?

jade axe is a rare drop aswell there. i had a gloom shield off a chest. 4 runs in uw, 3 rare drops off foes, none of which was gloom shield
