Special Items This Weekend

This weekend, from Noon Pacific (-7 GMT) this Friday until 11:59 PM Pacific Monday, March 17, you will find Shamrock Ale and Four-Leaf Clovers as random drops throughout all the lands of Tyria. Enjoy the weekend, and remember: think green!

Increased chance of green items (uniques, you know these)? Possibly? Maybe? Not a chance?

Maybe we shouldn't use fire magic, as it hurts the environment.

Seriously. Think literally: St Patricks...GREEN four leaf clovers...GREEN ale...

That's all it is. Really. No need to look any deeper.

Since St. Patrick's day is a celebration of the Christendom of Ireland by chasing the snakes off the island there should be double xp for killing naga.

Eh, urban legand, of sorts. Granted none of these holidays' origin stories make much sense, but that one isn't the "official" one.

Hmz do we have to use Poison and Disease than ?? is it chemical

or is it a
mixture of natural things

Its both green to me, if Im right

But I love these special item weekends.... let theme come up every weekend
with some kind of drops ... it just fun to explore territory with some hero's
and get all kinds of special drops, Clovers, Cupcakes, Honycumb... why not
do some fire works with it. And booze ofcourse.

Yes. Check your PM's

As to the Think Green part, nothing to do with greens, at least that was last year, I'd expect the same this year.

Nono. You see, the Emerald Edge and Emerald Blade are green. Therefore, it MUST mean that the drop rates for them will be increased! Everyone get ready!

"Think Green"

For this weekend only, when your toon wears a piece of green-dyed armor, toon recieves higher/better drop rate.

(haha another idea that benefits me me me me)

Until now I found 2 Ales and 1 clover 4 this weekend. Seems droprates are extremely low compared to other special weekends or is it just bad luck?

They aren't going to go all out and decorate towns and such for an event that isn't even an official holiday...
