is this even active? I've killed 7 bosses now and have had 0 drops. Done solo and with sending the henchmen/heros way off the map till they are grey.
I did a few missions and quests yesterday too, just in case, and yet the drops don't seem to be dropping.
Anyone else experiencing this? I had better luck on the 3x green weekend in Cantha then Elonia, not to mention that no max items are dropping for me at all, from chests or mobs. ALL over L20 and most over L24. WTF is up with that?
3x Green Drop Weekend...

Yep, it's definatly under way. One area I did had 4 bosses and I got 3 greens doing solo. Also was able to get a hard to farm scythe on the 3rd try.
Enchanted Warrior
Killed low level boss outside starter city on Elonia, got green mesmer staff "stormbringer" Sure it's low level but hey it's green lol having gotten anything green before this since nf launched.

Do we have to have a thread similar to this everytime we have an increased "DROP RATE" event?
It's just an increased chance, people. It doesn't mean that because the chance is increased, you should get it in 2/3/20/30 runs or something. It's still based on your luck, more or less.
And if I remember correctly, Stormbringer has an Energy Storage requirement, thus makes it an "Elementalist Staff".

few things that can be:
1 you haven't had the luck to find anything yet
2 you had allready overfarmed the boss
3 the 3X code hasn't been implented yet
4 They implented the code wrong (happened before with some UW stuff not dropping)
Just keep trying, eventualy you get one

2 runs of Onslaught of Terror
2 runs of Wandalz (and the two bosses in front of him)
1 run of the corsairs in Barbarous Shore
3 greens and one gold
Not bad odds IMO... my guildmates are really starting to hate me

I am wondering, the 3x change is applied when with henchmen too?
Because if not, where is the 'never fight alone' spirit?

I think the 3x chance is applied always. Why won't it be?

Strictly luck of the draw, and usually with increased rate weekends I don't get anything at all.
This time I said, I would really like The Darksong for my new Paragon. If I could get just that one green I would be happy.
So, about 15 minutes after the weekend began, I went outside Honur Hill with my usual map cruise party of five, and got The Darksong first try. At once I was happy! Mission accomplished! Weekend over! Back to business as usual, and yet who knows? Maybe I'll find another green somewhere. But then again, probably not.

Sidra
Yeah... 9 boss kills... cleared the place where Mhedi is several times (all of the people in area, boss-wise) and did some random stuff between the first vabbi town and the chantry of secrets. killed like 3 guys there. nothing. got a gold scroll though.
FalconDance
*Before* the weekend officially kicked off, I got a green ritualist wand drop. Was quite a shock since in the year plus that I've played, it's only the fourth green that has ever fallen for any of my girls 
.
Hopefully tomorrow I can convince The Mindclouder, Nightbringer and Skybringer to drop as well

I got Dunshek's Purifier with Koss. Not sure what green to try to get next...
Hysteria
Just wanted to say that from my experience and with talking to others that green drops are definitely way up. This is obvious hence the special weekend but just wanted to give those that are having bad luck a bit of hope.
Curse You
I got 5 Darksongs in about 30 minutes. I'd say that the drop rate has been increased.
Caspar
Dunshek's Purifier is so easy to farm it's not even funny 
For those of you who don't know... I got 1 word for you... "Wurm"

I just got the nightbringer while doing the quest after consulate docks... with eight henchies. I never get greens. I've been playing since the Beta and this is my first EVER high end green. There is 3x... there has to be.

or in like a full group
cause ive done like probably 30 of those with a heroe/hench group and nothing dropped at all except a long bow and 100g

I've gotten six greens so far, I suppose I've had five or six hours at it:
Sadi's Benediction, Enadiz Defender, Hajkor's flame, Korr's focus, Morolah's Staff, and Chor's Axe.
Given that I have found two other greens the rest of the time I've played the game (around 900 hours now) definitely been having a higher drop rate for me
I still have two or so left before I'm happy. (Saushali's Recurve and a Exuro's Will). I may go for a spear or find a skin I really like too (though I have a max gold Spiraling Spear with the exact mods I want drop from a chest), I do not know. Either that or start getting more of the above for my other characters, though I do not customize caster weapons so I do not really need too (I get them for their stats, not damage).
I just clear out all the normal enemies, send the henchies/heroes away and either solo it or duo it (and this is with my dervish, having to make the builds up on the fly - were any of my regular farmers far enough it would be easier). The hardest ones are where you use the junundu as they kill the last one or two enemies *real* quick and they do not always listen to your commands.

It's 100% much higher than it's ever been. I've gotten 20+ greens so far, none are duplicates.
I'm just trying to get 1 of every green before this weekend is over, so my heroes can thank me on the battlefield.

It just occured to me while farming for a green in the Realm of Torment (with no luck) that it isn't *exactly* a part of Elona. In fact it has a different map all together. Can anyone (perhaps Gaile) confirm if this is included in the weekend event?

Coming from someone who usually has bad luck in farming greens, I've done pretty well for myself today. The last time I had a green drop for me was months ago, while doing a quest. I got 6 today, and a couple of those were either surprise drops, or since I was out, I whacked away at a boss and got something for my trouble. I'm quite pleased with this weekend, for once.
Caspar
If you did 50+ runs on exactly the same mob then you shoudn't blame anyone except yourself... knowing full well the anti farming code will kick in.
Tijger
Didnt have much time last night so we limited ourselves to Vehjin Mines, did 3 runs on 2 bosses, we got one necro offhand and the Shak sword (zealous, +30, +15^50) between 3 humans.
I'd say thats a higher drop rate, perhaps I am an unusually lucky person though, on the Factions green weekend I managed to fill up the inventory of my mule almost entirely with greens as well.
PS: Bosses can be hard to solo but you can take heroes and not have them steal your loot, simply kill the support cast around the boss, pull back, flag the heroes to be outside the radar and go kill the boss. Drops then will only be for the humans who are near the boss.

CyberNigma
Well I got 2 greens so far. one was Chor and the other was Kephket's of all things (doing the quest from Desolation). I admit, it does suck to be caught in the middle of the war between bots and ANet (or ANet's Crusade as some of us call it). I think the anti-farming code hurts more so than the bots for some of us because we are just collectors/explorers and don't usually buy/sell to other players that much.
Paperfly
I'm very interested in seeing how (if at all) ANet reacts to the effects of the "greyed out henchies" trick. This is the first time it's been possible with a major event, so it might take them by suprise this time... But then maybe it's intended and forseen functionality, who knows!?
For those of you who haven't worked it out/seen it done, the idea is to use a full team of heroes/henchies to get to your farming area, then flag them well out of range so their names are "greyed out". While they're out of range like that they won't affect the drop rate, allowing you to "solo" farm previously difficult or inaccessible areas.
...For boss farming, you can also use the hench team to wipe out the boss' mob, then flag them out of combat and out of range, and kill the boss himself on your own.

ParanoidDenny
WOW I got triple drops of nothing as always, woopee doo!
raven214
I've actually had much better luck getting greens in Elona before this event - getting them with full teams while just passing through an area. I'm now trying to get the Deathbringer, but after a dozen or maybe even 2 dozen runs, all I've gotten is a (blue) scroll and a couple non-max blue/white items. Most of the time he drops nothing. I've usually been trying with a team of 4-6 hench since I haven't figured out how to solo it yet. How many more runs... 
Big_Iron
I'm having the best loot weekend ever! As of last night, I've gotten 8 greens, a near perfect gold staff and numerous runes (mostly minor, but hey, they seem to be worth more gold in many instances). I know that may not be a lot to a professional farmer, but for a casual player like me....WOW! I'm a happy camper.
EDIT --> P.S. No, none of the greens are from Noob Island.
