After the GW:EN weekend, I was absolutely thrilled to get a req 10 Dwarven Axe drop. I was surprised to find in Lion's Arch that there were no less than three people trying to sell gold Dwarven Axes! Also, I heard of at least two gold Legendary Sword drops.

These were normally only found in unlocked chests from HoH and the like (I think Legendary was from HA). Anyways, it appears that these will drop much more often in GW:EN. I got the Dwarven axe killing you guessed it DWARVES in Drakkar Lake. In the caves where you go for the wolf blessing, there is a village filled with dwarves.

I expect they will get hit hard a lot and fast so if you have one - sell it soon. I don't have a farm build for this, just a location. I got mine using three heros (tahlkora (LoD) and two MM's - one with max curses and SS) Since lots of stuff bleeds there, ulcerous lungs is a nice skill with jaggeds and me as sword warrior).

I believe the reward chest in the Frostmaw's Burrow dungeon is same as the chest from HoH, from which you either get two rare materials (onyx gemstone or diamond), one rare material + a gold item, one rare gold item or one green item as the reward of beating Frostmaw. After running it quite a few times with guildies this past weekend we've got a couple Legendary Swords, a few new items although unsure of their rarity yet, including a green Scythe of Kinslayer which guildie sold for 100K + xx Ectos. I got a Platinum Broadsword, req 13 though... Do expect this dungeon to get nerfed soon 'cause seems the reward is a lot higher than it should be, although being a master's level quest the dungeon is quite easy compared to the deep or urgoz. Because of the limited playing time this past weekend most people would only take 1 char into GW:EN, some of the groups we took in the dungeon had 4 monks (1 set up as nuker and 1 set up as SS) and we did fine, once a guildie dropped due to lag and we were able to finish the boss with just 6 people... So either this is getting nerfed soon or the prices for those items will come down FAST, either way hit it as soon and as often as you can.

The best team for clearing anything perios, including the summit was.
you, 2 hero nukers, 1 monk hero, 2 monk henchmen, cynn, and any other henchmen. btw my nukers are sf and my monk is jus a generic monk. This build works for me, so it should for you.

Well GW:EN is ment to be higher end~ish.
Making a reward chest with merch food would take out the entire purpose of the whole game.

I would say this weekend was only a little taste what will be possible to get, and the chest drops won't be as good as it was this weekend, but not by much.
Of course it would be nice to have some actually rare skins introduced, not skins that used to be rare and are starting to become common now..
Regardless, prices will fall.

Um Yeah

I think these dungeons are supposed to be geared more towards casual players, which is the reason as to why they're relatively easy and the end chest having rare skins and materials. Also, these are just the first few dungeons, who knows how hard some of the asuran, ebon vanguard or late-game dungeons are going to be.
