Absolutely. I teamed up with a couple of people to do Sskai run. They had been trying all day and hadn't got a single sword. We did four runs together, the sword dropped twice, both times for me. I felt bad for them so I ended up giving them each one of the swords leaving me with a single minor rune from the four runs, but it made their day so....

I teamed up with my guildee (husband) for the weekend and usually a henchie or two....most of the bosses dropped on the first or second attempt a green ----though a few didnt. It was a fun weekend for a change!

I too was able to get most of the greens I wanted.....my monk has a new smiting staff, my ele got that dang island guardian to drop his wand (ok, it was my mesmer and the guildee w/mo after 6 attempts, but dammmit, we finally got it!!!!!! ) and my rit got a staff and wand (now she is trying out chanelling for a change). My necro got another staff (had stonereaper from an earlier drop) and my guildee even got a shield (near the rit construct)....alll n all a good haul----though I did miss a few bosses I wanted a try at....but happy with what I got anyways!

Best weekend event so far. Usually went out with three other guildies and we farmed the hell out of the jade sea and a few other places. My drops. Between all of us we probably had about 45 greens drop. I got about 16. We farmed for a few hours on friday night and about 6 on sunday. Good times.

I spent a couple of days during the event farming greens to kit out my new Ele and extras for guildies. I was after specific items, once I've gotten the number of items I wanted I moved on to the next boss on the list. And, yes, I was sad enough to keep a tally of actual kills for a green to drop.

Soloing
2 x Rajazan's Fervor; dropped on the 9th and 29th kill.

2 x Arbor's Earth Staff; dropped on 5th and 14th kill.

2 x Zarnas' Wrath; dropped on the 16th and 43rd kill.

3 x The Stonereaper; dropped on 23rd, 35th and 39th kill.

(For the 2 above, guildie joined for duo-ing after the 25th kill).

Duo-ing with guildie
2 x The Windcatcher; dropped on the 5th and 6th kill (both times for guildie).

Duo-ing with guildie and 3 henchmen support
2 x Amadis' Air Staff; dropped on the 12th and 19th kill.

2 x Kenrii's Sorrow; dropped on the 1st and 2nd kill (luckiest one, dropped for each of us really quickly).

1 x Koosun's Fire Staff; dropped on the 4th kill.


I'm happy that I manage to get the items that I wanted, but to be honest, I didn't find the drops to be any different to other times I've farmed for green items.

That alone I find absolutely insane. I soloed Stonereaper 6 times, and got 3 staves. Every boss I went after dropped their green just about every other kill. Considering before this weekend I had only had 3 greens drop for me and my wife, and during the 7 hours we played on this weekend we managed 17 greens. I'd say that's a pretty damn good droprate.

Hmm... maybe you're just incredibly unlucky. That or maybe... wait 39th kill??? Anti-farming code, possibly? Yeesh.
