Special Items This Weekend

Through 11:59 PM pacific (-7 GMT) on Tuesday, March 17, you will be able to gather Shamrock Ale and Four-Leaf Clovers as random drops throughout all the lands of Tyria. Enjoy the weekend, and remember: think green!

Sharpen your blades, ready your spells, and may the raptor/vaettir(sp?) genocide commence.

Did not see a listed start time. I'm guessing "all the lands of Tyria" refers to all campaigns and expansions, or continents.

i would assume it starts the usual friday afternoon.

and yes, tyria can refer to both the entire gw world and the continent of tyria found in prophecies.

Awesome... just for my b-day!

Seriously though, I'm gonna have to move my schedule around for this. I really, really need cons.

Moral of the story, get a good score the first time (j/k, good luck this Saturday).

Anyway, sounds good. A lot of people will probably be on spring break vacation around this time too, so could be a lot of farming.

I'd really like the current descripion of the four-leaf clover:

Double-click to remove a random amount of DP (5%-15%) from your entire party. If 15% DP is removed, you gain 4 points toward the Lucky title track. This item cannot be used in PvP.

To be a bit more meaningful towards the Lucky track.

Irony. Farming goops my brain, not un-goops.

But yeah, good luck.

Wohoo! Getting my wisdom teeth out on Thursday (which sucks), so lots of down time in front of a computer this weekend. Gogo consolation prize.

The vaettirs are going to hate me.

Sounds good for the weekend

But I really wish they would put a Start time to these things like they used to
and not getting so slack these days.
Many of us "oldies" know when these things usually start but the new players (and yes we are still getting new players to GW) Don't know.
So come on Anet how about adding a few extra characters on the login screen with the start time for the new people out there.

Guess I'm gonna farm for some golden items and sell them and the free consumables that drop. Don't bother asking if I sell them to you, they are allready promised to someone. The Vaettir will be my target for this weekend.

Now you're gonna fail cause you'll only be thinking about those shamrock ales you could be farming... haha just kidding.

SATs are terrible... I did wicked good in the math section, and terrible on the english hahaha, although strangely I noticed that some SAT vocab is used in GW skill names.

Anyway on-topic, I think these items should be rewarded to wins in pvp as well.

Mine will be a steady diet of vaettirs, raptors, and those poor snowmen and Mr. Freezie. I was excited to see that it lasts all the way up until tuesday night at midnight, woot 12 chars.

Other than the obvious farming spots, is it a universal drop rate percentage or do some areas drop more loot per fewer foes.

I think I might go farm some trolls outside Droknar's Forge and some undeads in Kryta (to change a bit).

I want to make myself a stack of clovers.

OT: what is this "SAT" some of you are talking about?

more wisdom points, more booze and clovers FTW!

(kinda ironic that we'll be bombing vaettirs for Irish goodies with all that terrible news from Ireland...

Good that I finally got Prophecies in time.

Hated the SATs too... had I taken them in 10th grade though, I would have kicked ass. All the stuff I learned in that grade was on them, not any of the 11th/12th stuff, so I didn't do good.
