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!

There was a thread discussing what the specific meaning, if any, was for the phrase "think green". Here's my two cents:

I've gained 4 Green Dyes ever since the weekend event officially started. Am I that lucky, or perhaps green dye drops a lot more often now?

I wouldn't consider green dye drops to be 'lucky', though perhaps that is thematic

I did a few raptor runs before I had to head out, got a green dye myself, the only dye that dropped.

I just got done farming for about 90 minutes. Got a red and a purple dye. No greens. I don't think dye has anything to do with the weekend, that's just in my experience though.

Well it is paddy's day so it may just be a friendly remark that holds no real in game significence. Humans love to see patterns so it could jsut be be us picking up patterns or there may be somthing too it.

Unless the think green means that there might be the second batch of weapons, no, no news of increased drop rates for uniques or rare weapons.

I got two red dyes in a row. Wonder if it means anything besides luck?!?!

(doesn't have anything to do with dye drops, imo)

Do dungeons in EoTN count as being in tyria thus counting for the drops?

Uhhh..."Tyria" means all of GW. And Clovers and Ales drop like crazy in the dungeons, so yes. They count.

I think it means to dye your clothes green like on St Pats day you wear green. Now, if you get some advantage from green armor I got no idea but it is fun to wear green once in awhile.
