I feel your pain. Hopefully all these weapons will be over farmed - seems likely - and i'll be able to buy one cheap

I dont think so. If you read the official wiki, it mentions a second batch of weapons getting ready to be added to the game.

I hope so...bet they'll be in equally ridiculous locations, other than the zaishen chest. (which is further proof thatAnet caters to PvP'ers exclusively)

I feel your pain. UW clear and FoW clear are out of the question for me (I have a life, don't want it, but I have it). The only one that I have gotten is the axe but I really wanted that off-hand.

A HM FOW Clear takes less than 1.5 hours with a good Ursan group, so don't make the "I have a life" excuse.

Is there such a thing as a good/bad ursan group

i thought they were all the same

Anyway, had nothing yet i have tried a few runs in places where people are reporting items coming from and underworld /fissure groups but nothing for me

Do you think the ursan group would mind if I say, "Excuss me guys, got to answer the phone, looks like one the people I design web-sites for?" Would say I miss my 7 - 4 job but they called at all hours too!

I like farming 600 / smite because I have two accounts and at any time I can do other things without fear of messing up somoene's game.

And please don't turn this into another Ursan vs. non-ursan thread or a pvp vs. pve. If you don't want to ursan, don't join the group, it's that easy.

They will understand if they were a guildie group.

Just last night a guy had to stop in the middle of a run. On vent "sorry guys, my kid just fell asleep, got to put him in his crib."

Most people understand. I have done that a couple of times. And all of them wait for me or vice versa.

We all here understand that there's something else besides GW. Once in a while you get some ..... well you all know what I mean.

Got tired of farming skale in dalada uplands 600 / smite (opening chest along the way). Went to ToA and as a HB Monk could not find a group. Guess back to farming Skales.

Eh...h'what? You can get lucky with the Zaishen chest, or you can get lucky with an end-dungeon chest. I fail to see how one is that much easier to get than the other.

A good guild will understand your situation. Anyway, just try your best to find an hour where they don't think they'll call you. Best of luck to you.

Do you have to fight through mob after mob to get to the zaishen chest? There are PvP'ers who do ONLY PvP for most of their time, trade in balth faction for keys, and get these high end items just for walking to a chest 1 minute away. It's ridiculous. Sure they have to fight in PvP, but you get balth faction even for losing...if you wipe in a dungeon and cannot continue, it's a waste of time and you have to start over. Rragar's menagerie is a bitch to get to, and a bitch to get THROUGH. FoW is easy to get to but takes a couple hours to finish...UW is even worse. You can PvP for a half hour and have enough balth faction for a key.

you dont get any faction for loosing and yes, you have to fight through not a mob but live player. And you dont get that much faction from killing as you think you do.
Fow / UW takes max 1.5 hours to complete and reward for completing is not 1 item, but a couple of items + Locked chest during clearing fow...
But for both types (PvE and PvP) it's just one thing - dont suck at it, and you'll get your prizes.

90% of the time the Zaishen chest will drop a creme brule, or something equally useless. The chests from dungeons at least always give you a rare.

LOL...soon they will be everywhere due to the ursan swamp ;P Couldn't resist...

Honestly though, I hope these "special" items will fall out of the chests at a small percentage of the time to keep interest in these items high. Although, small percentage X many runs still means many drops

Haven't got the frog sceptor or celestial compass but would like to thank ANET for putting the frog sceptor in Bogroot. Forgot how much fun that dungeon was, Tekks saying, "If it isn't yellow, hit it until it stops moving... then hit it again to be sure." sums it up for me.

YAY!! Just got the Frog Scepter req 12 energy Storage. Soooooo pretty with my Snapjaws Powerstone. Did Bogroots like 10x in NM by myself w/hero's & hench, then first time out in HM with my better half and he gets it from the end chest. What a sweetie to give it to me. Am I lucky or what!

I can sell a creme brulee for more than any of the junk rares I get from the end chests...but I see your point. Still, why place rare PvE items into the zaishen chest anyway? Is it a way for PvP'ers to get rare skins, or gold for selling keys to PvE'ers? Either way, it's got no place as a PvP reward. Maybe if it allowed PvP'ers to use those skins while fighting, sure.

And still the Dragon Scythe isn't in yet, or ?, nor the Spear or those nice greenish Daggers...

But didn't anet said, that they implemented yet only the 1st set ? and that a second set of items will follow ?

Its annoying not to know, if somethign is still in the game, that should get implemented, cause players have to find the stuff first -.-
Why can't Anet just tell us, which items were now all implemented and show us a picture of the items, how they look ingame...
More they don't have to tell... find must we then still the stuff, but we would know at leatst, how the stuff looks ingame and if the stuff that someone wants to receive is at least in the game, or if peopel have to wait longer, until the wanted stuff gets implemented...

Just wish someone from ANET had porsted on the forums to confirm where they drop from so that I know for sure if I am wasting my time running chest in Dalada Uplands.

Yeah can we say for sure we've found all the rares from the first set, or is this unconfirmed?

No been doing normal mode with h/h, but no luck. End chest hates me, but is a nice break from 600 / smite.

Think there is any truth to the Smite / Underworl dropping the Celestial Compass?
