Because everyone else if farming Wintersday (barf) I started going to collect armor remnants. It took 2 days in Dajkah to get 4 remnants and finish out my first 5 heroes. I have been 3 days now in Remains of Sahlajah and I have not seen a single Lost Soul spawn once. Maddened Souls that eventually kill you I see plenty. I have not in 3 days seen a single Lost Soul spawn.

Guild Wars used to be a game. Now it is nothing except farm wars, with the goals for which you are required to farm being made ever more unobtainable. Farm Wars, the game we now all play, is filled with things that one is not meant to be able to accomplish. Remains of Sahlajah is a perfect example of the prolbems in the entire game. Nothing is happening in a reasonable time frame for play to be anything except drudgery.

Skills are constantly nerfed to prevent players from being successful. Where farming cooperatively can be done, such as VSF, skills are nerfed to ensure no one can accomplish anything or acquire anything. Denying player achievement has become the observable primary and sole purpose of the developers and their nerf bat. They establish goals, which the casual player is supposed to be able to participate in, and then place limitations which make it near impossible to achieve even for those who play in avocation. The concept of reasonable time and reasonable effort are completely and utterly foreign to the game of Farm Wars.

Given that it took 2 days, and hundreds of dead Guild Lords to acquire 4 Sunspear Remnants, I can expect thousands of years at Remains of Sahlajah since to kill even one Lost Soul it would first have to Spawn!

They need to back down on the bull game wide and start making things attainable with reasonable effort. And the meth freaks that play the game for 80 hours straight and type how, "Mmmaan n n i i it waaas soooo aaaahsum ezz zz z zz, i i it mm muss ss sst b b be yoooOOOOoooo," don't count as either casual players or examples of reasonable effort.

how about, instead of wasting 80 hours on trying to get it, which is farming, farm something for two hours and spend the 20k you made(or more if you do more lucrative farming runs, ie Underworld/uw sc)

Just did this 10 mins ago to test, worked for me. A lost soul showed up no problem.

Just did it again and not one lost soul spawned. Not one! They do not spawn.

And Here to Troll, if you are farming you are not playing. I am attempting with reasonable effort and reasonable play to get remnants through play. If I have to go purchase them then the game is a failure. If I cannot get what I am after in game established goals through reasonable effort and reasonable play then the game is broken.

The drop rate on armor remnants gets lower and lower the more you do the mission, or after having gotten so many.

Its something they added to these so people couldn't just farm armor remnants. These are supposed to be your heroes elite armor sets, they aren't just going to hand them to you on a silver platter.

If you've reached some sort of limit that they set on one character, try another.

Just buy the stuff, they aren't THAT expensive, and stop whine how you spend XX hours trying to get some X that you can never get and start to actually think of a way to solve the situation. Guru isn't here for you to whine you ass off.

See it this way: I spent the same two days farming the mini polar bear, got it, sold it for 1600 ecto and don't have to grind any more.

I thought this was common knowledge. If you are not getting any armor on a character anymore, switch. Each character is only allowed so many pieces of armor. Same thing with Dajkeh Inlet.

If we took out the QQ threads and the truly banal threads there would be no threads left.

Your solution is of course the correct one. If it takes hours to farm up a cheap item, go do something more efficient and then buy the cheap item with the proceeds.

Realistically speaking, if you are going into an area with the sole purpose of obtaining a certain item, YOU are farming, an action for which you condemn everyone and the game.

Upgrading a hero's armor is nice, don't get me wrong. It also allows you to place a statue of said hero in your HoM. But it is NOT a part of the game, period. It is a side benefit, a bragging rights perk only.

Then why are you playing Grind Wars?

I got 5 armors in one day killing the maddened souls and mapping the area for cartography. How about actually reading the wiki on the mission before coming on here QQ'ing about people doing what they want to do.

The way I see it...change the thread title to Strength of Snow and the object to be farmed to the Mini Polar bear and you'll get what the OP really wanted to get across without having his thread closed.

Killing Maddened Spirits is how you obtain the hero armors in that mission. Regardless, it's not hard at all to find Lost Souls. You can kill them for Lightbringer, I suppose.

Regarding Dajkah Inlet, my experience was that 3-5 plays through that mission produced all the hero armors for the character I played them on. You just have to kill more than the first one or two Guild Lords each time to increase your odds.

Don't complain about the game being broken when the player is the problem.

Exactamant. If I have something not working for me, I tend to research/change up after a few MINUTES, not spend 3 days doggedly hitting it with a blunt spoon and wondering why I'm getting the same results.

It's easy to get caught in the "darn it, all I want is XXX" and forget that sometimes you just need to back off and take a break from whatever it is causing so much grief.

I don't pretend to understand the farming code (if such a thing exists, of course), but I have noticed that some of my characters have a much easier time getting certain drops than others. Maybe it's all coincidence, dunno. It's happened for over three years now, currently 11 'toons.....

Play on a different character. A simple trip to the wiki would have told you this.
