Weekend event returns to Cantha!
TheUndying
I gotten Ghial's staff with henchmens, after 4 tries, he finally dropped it, and it was just only yesterday that I had gotten it, I didn't really need to solo it. I felt happy.

I need help, please..
I've been soloing xuekao for 3 straight hours now, each run takes 5 min, and he has dropped TWO times... So I started thinking the patch wasnt downloaded, because I never got a message that said a new version of GW is aviable.. And I've been restarting the game four times now, but I still haven't downloaded something.. Do I have to?

Not usually as the drop rates are determined by the server, not the client so you shouldn't need an update.

Maybe really really bad luck.
I haven't farmed since like 2 months now, and went, with 3 of my heroes, farming 'The Eternal Grove (Explorable)', for, i think 8 bosses.
Now 4 characters did 8 bosses * 5 times = 40 bosses, and I ain't got a [email protected] scroll! Got a Juju once.

I love the fact that there are events in cantha still. Yet I have one huge problem. The green weapons for the first 2 campaigns majorly suck @$$ in comparison to what is in nightfall, the staffs(spelling?) Have major benefits that the previous 2 campaigns do not. I truly wish they would revise this since it makes alot of green elites in both area's POC's.

Cantha didn't get Wintersday, so they get greens lol
Bane of Worlds
I see that my spiritual/ghostly ships are aiding those who wishes to farm while my beloved rit is sitting in the tormented world aiding angered spirits 
Glad that Cantha is getting some love

After seven runs, Vera and two Jayne's Staves. Thank you ArenaNet!
Big_Iron
Seven must be the lucky number Seef. I got my [wiki]Vera[/wiki] (and the Time Eater). Life is complete.

I got Jayne's Staff plus Vera on my first run on Jayne Forestlight.
gg Jayne.
Thank you, ANET.
EDIT:
Just a second run just now, I must be very lucky.

I have tried three times since the event started to get a green from a monk boss - no luck
MrTickle
I've killed 12 bosses around Eternal Grove in a few runs and nothing apart from materials. The same happened to a fellow guildy yet he killed various bosses 40 times.
I'm not a farmer and I try to break up runs by going to other places for a quest/mission. So it must be extreme bad luck on our part :'(

Today has been awesome for me, made 175k farming Wing's and selling his axe for 8k apiece. With 55 monk spoil victor + henchies then flag out to solo Wing he dropped his axe at least every 3 tries, sometimes he gives 2 or 3 in a row. Each run takes something like 5 mins. To me the odds are roughly 1/2. I tried farming Chkkr but he dropped once in about 8 runs. Sskai is worth only 5k so I only killed him once. Kaineng 1 seems to buy a lot of Wing's, marketplace too but tons of groups are trying to farm it.
=HT=Ingram
If I may offer a suggestion. If going solo stick to MINIMAL party size... And use Heroes rather then henchmen. I suggest a party of 2 or 3 to maximize your green drop probability. that's what worked best for me during the last triple drop weekend. Either that or PUGs, but lets be real. if your farming greens you prob are not a fan of PUGs. I went this morning with some from our alliance and it was pretty good over all. especially down in the lucrative Kurzick south west. All those bosses in one instance. Hummm greens...

As I work on the weekends I don't have much time to do anything. Yet I have logged in for a hour or 2 each day, and the only thing I notice is my Blue drop has increased.
I am in a group of me, my MM hero and my Monk hero, and I get either gold coins or blues from boss', not to mention I keep getting blues from everyone else.
Am I just that unlucky? I have gotten about 4 gold items in my almost 2 years of playing. The only time I have seen a green is in a screenshot here.

Typically I head out with a full team of hench/heroes (to clear the way quickly) and flag all but Koss and a healer out of the way when attacking the boss. My sin doesn't survive long enough on his own. I've avoided over-farming - generally not visiting the same zone more than 5 times (I haven't been going for any specific boss).
So far, I've had several scrolls, a superior Mesmer rune and some double "Putrid Cyst" drops for my trouble.

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

I spent the entire weekend farming, farming, farming and even more farming. Vasburg Armory was all of a sudden crowded with people, it felt good to play with humans again and leave the heroes at home for a while. My thumper looks spiff with Vera and my entire guild has new monk gear (and Jayne hates my guts now). I did a few runs for Sskai, another guy got the sword but too bad, we still had fun. Bottom line: thx a bunch aNet I had a good time .

I farmed like...nothing
I havent even been to Cantha the entire weekend. Oh wait i did, to make my assa's first max armor ^^

Just a thought Anet frown upon farming yet they tell us to "Go get them greens 
"
Anyway the ONLY green I got was from Elona and on noob island so it's not even useful for a hero Maybe next time
Well done to all that were lucky enough.

Did cantha runs for greens this weekend with Guildies/Allies
Went on about 35 Wing's Axe runs, we got 5. None for me though.
10 Liam's Lantern runs, only one green but it went to me.
8 Ghial's Staff runs, just one drop but again it went to me.
All in all, a cool weekend event.

Had nothing over the weekend, but the first boss I kill monday afternoon drops green (Tarnen's Shield). Go figure.
Dmc1281
I finally got a green. It was the last boss I killed and it was a hammer weapon.
After looking at it, can someone tell me what the big attraction to greens are?
The stats on the hammer were ok, and I have a purple with better sttats and enhancements on it. In fact, all of the whites and blues that I have gotten all weekend while trying for a green were better than this was.

Does anyone thing A-net might have been testing new anti-bot code? I have had better results farming in Cantha in the past...I got only 3 greens and that was going solo.
I would mix it up and clear a map with heros, move around and come back for my 4-5 solo runs..
I could not get Ssaki's sword to drop and there were several times I could not get even a Naga hide off of him...my first two runs yeild no drops...not a gp, not a hide, zero, zip, nada...
A tip...when everyone is farming in cantha...go farm in NF...the stats will be better

Amazing weekend, thanks A-Net.
I managed to farm 27 various greens with my wammo, including elusive Kunvie Air Staff (it takes 4 runs to get it and while i farmed it i get all other interesting greens (except mesmer one) from Unwaking Waters zone)

(stunned silence)
you got hardcore pwned....sorry man, that blows.
I farmed only about half the time I was on (haven't done in ages), picked up a few greens in elona too no less. I didn't actually count, and I gave some away to guildies, but I think about 12 greens I kept... probably still have 3 or 4 wings axes. I got in one farming pug out of Imperial Sanctum, and I completely understand how some folks didnt hardly get any greens though...lol. In fact, I felt it was pretty amazing that folks at that skill level even make it that far into the game. Just solo farming with flags and heros/henches and target calling worked great. At least you went with guildies/allies so the time was better spent, and you got 2 very useful greens.
Enchanted Warrior
Didn't try, I know most reports here are padded. LOL
lennymon
Heh, wanna inspect my loot? I'll admit to being a lucky punk if that helps. There were some that I wanted that I didn't get (not for lack of trying either). I mean cmon it takes about and hour to get 3 or 4 wing's axes even without the weekend tripple. And who care's how many Geoffer's Bulwarks and Milthuran's staff people get anyways LOL. Half of the greens I got that I wanted were from Elona anyways to prove my point. I'd say based on my results this weekend VERY few are padded... There were people on farming frenzies (you would've known had you been there - but since you weren't...) so there are a TON of new factions greens out there today.

I remember the NORMAL weekends before Factions and the whole "lets have a weekend event every weekend". I liked those days. I think we should go back to not having so many dang events. At least for a month or so.
More Outrage

It`s not like you have to join in or anything.

I just think that they're over used.

Then they should overuse the double gold drops from chests then I will be forced to buy more chars to use as storage for mods I might never use. I`ll be happy and so undoubtably will Anet.

Treasure Chests/Buried treasure in Elonia is way better IMHO. I got a Diamond Aegis (16/req11Tactics/+30 Health/-5 Rec'vd damage) the other day. I'm happy as hell with it too I stopped looting to sell. Merchant gets all my unwanted stuff or I give it away. I love hearing "dude are you sure you don't want paid for this?" Makes my day
By doing missions etc, and selling to merchant I have made 90k in aabout 2 months.
