This weekend, starting at Noon PST on Friday, all bosses in Cantha will be three times as likely to drop a green item. The triple goodness will run through 11:59 p.m. PST on Sunday, January 28, so get ready to go green hunting!

Back to Cantha?

Yay now I can get greens for all my poor greenless characters

It's nice of them, IMO, to not completely exclude people who don't get every campaign.

Very nice of them to have events / weekends for those that don't own just the the latest campaign.

But aren't all the Canthan greens below 10k now? IMO, make it a 5x weekend...that way, I would have the motivation to farm them myself.

Interesting. I'm definitely for returning events to previous chapters. I'd LOVE to see a triple green for Sorrow's Furnace/Footprint some time.

However, really, the previous triple green should have been Cantha (or SF), and THIS event should have been Elona. The reason is, for the previous triple Elona green event, the game was only a couple weeks old, and most ppl hadn't gotten very far into the game, were unfamiliar with the bosses and greens and farming strategies/builds.

I won't complain though. It'll be interesting farming Canthan bosses using the flagging technique this time around.......it will open up many more farming opportunities. Clearing out the area around Sunreach then riposting him for one. Perhaps some multi boss Unwaking Waters runs.

Very cool, there are a number of Canthan greens I've had my eye on. Like others, I'm also pleased to see Anet showing some love to old chapters.

Yay! Cantha actually gets some love other than the Dragon Festival(which I <3 btw), guess I'll do like everyone and go green hunting this weekend ^_^

It's nice to see that Anet doesn't neglect old chapters and gives them events once in a while.

Be nice for them to do this in Propecies at least once. Have all 3 chapters so whichever is possible for me to do.

So Anet, why not Prophecies???

/waits for people to start blaming ANet for trying to sell more of factions, when they whined for this for the last few months.

This is cool I have a few heros I need some good weapons for so this will help. Of course I never understood why they limit it to one chapter why not just say triple green weekend all over. Of well.

No, I'm pretty sure it was the majority of the GW community when they moved on to Elona.

Can you people not turn each and every thread into a Pve / PvP sucks thread for events? Just keep your mouth shut if it isn't constructive.

Anyways... cool, triple green, what's good to farm?

When Factions came out I was highly annoyed that Prophecies was pretty much getting ignored.
When Nightfall came out I wasn't that annoyed when Factions was getting ignored (too caught up in NF, plus I never really like Cantha), but I still thought it was unfair to start treating it like the redheaded stepchild.
I get that they want to focus on the latest money maker, but I don't think the other chapters should be ignored.
I think it's nice that Factions is getting at least some attention now.

Quick q though. How hard would it be to implement this event to all chapters instead of just one?

Coolness. I can get more of Cantha's map and probably get a few greens. My heroes need them badly. The one green drop I got was from a boss I didn't even know had a green.

Very happy to hear this. While all you guys are trying to farm those greens, help me with a few missions while you're there.

/yawn

What are the greens in Cantha that are still worth anything?

1. Vera
2. Kaolin Dom Staff
3. ...um, ok.

WTB Elona green weekend, if anything. I want a Saevio's Maul.

Not at all, but this way they make it 3 weekends instead of one.

Ahh lovely, time to get some additional greens I missed out last time

With the addition of hench flagging, farming greens is so much easier than before.

I'm glad they have this in Factions. That campaign doesn't get much love these days, which is a real pity since it does have a lot to offer. It's still my favourite campaign to play.

My heroes will be getting lots of greeney presents this weekend.

Well, a good opportunity to get the heroes some semi decent equipment.
Wait... Cantha? Uhm... nevermind. I was actually one of those that burned down the boats when I reached Elona.

I look at it this way we got a double whammy here... Elona go the 1 time chests reset because of a DB error plus the whole xmas event with Prophecies, and Cantha will get a Triple green drop weekend now. and last weekend was ALL about PvP so there is plenty of fairness to go around here...

Glad Factions is not written off just yet. Urgos anyone?

Oh well back to the grind Im gonna get that sumbith this time. Grrrrrrr
