I didn't see a thread about the current weekend yet, so here goes.

Anyone else very happy with this weekend? I bought my second account not so long ago and decided that I'd make my main on that account, a ritualist, legendary survivor from the get-go. I don't like brawling and the lag dangers of it, so I just played the game normally. Finished Factions and almost finished Nightfall on it, and had around 800k XP yesterday. Thanks to the skill cap weekend I am legendary survivor now!

In addition to the easier survivor title, I got quite some work done on the skill hunter titles and as an added bonus those elites are now unlocked for my whole second account.

Didn't notice anything of the double green drop rate though. Out of the about 60 bosses I killed, I only got 1 greenie.

Meh, couldn't really care less about this weekend. There's no green that I'm crying myself to sleep over not having, already have Legendary Skill Hunter on my main, no potential survivors...nothing to excite me.

I might go cap the primary profession skills for my other characters if I don't have them already, but it's not like this weekend is getting me psyched up for boss hunting.

No need for greens, no need for Elite Skills.

I'm all for a pick-your-own-weekend weekend.

I capped like 10 elites for my survivor and then stopped. I made her a year ago and she's still at 700k xp. Meh.

Are there even any greens worth farming left?

My survivor was at around 530k before Friday, with three elites captured, now almost 700k. With about 64 elites left to go... That's maybe 11 more hours of capping.

I'm hoping to see some greens drop, but that's not too likely.

I'm happy with it, greens are great for alts and heroes, and I ought to do more skill capping anyways.

I had just finished capping all the Tyrian's before the announcement, not that it would have made much difference.

Oh goodie, and I have Legendary Skill Hunter. lol I'd try to farm some greens but the h/h make it almost impossible for them to drop. I could grab a PUG but lately they all fail. There are some greens I want, but...yeah.

Great weekend for me...

Enjoying the double XP for captures with my brand new Monk, he reached and passed Rank 2. At the same time I work on the Survivor XP, I also get Elite skills for my builds and advance the Skill Hunter track. I'm a bit broke already, but at least 50 Skills were capped.

That's 500,000 XP and half of it thanks to the bonus weekend. A decent boost IMHO, that means way less grind/XP farming for Survivor!

I was going through the CoF dungeons to see if I have more chances to get the green sword from the end chest. I didn't get any, but an alliance member got it early that same day. He was nice enough to give it to me for free and now I have Murakai's Blade. Sweet!

Alliance members and I went out and killed multiple bosses this weekend - and the only green any of us saw was a vial of green dye! That was both NM and HM.

I take that back. ONE did get an end-dungeon chest green. I think he was H/H'ing it.

(Darned it, all I wanted was a Yakslapper for my new monk!)

Hit the furnace have not been there in a long time. Well every boss ranger dropped for me everytime one dropped all 3 of his bows at once. All in all I walked away with 9 green bows in 3 trips. 1 green monk wand and of corse my favorite the Yakslapper dropped on the way in.

I did a little green farming at the end of the weekend.

Bredyss' Staff. Solo farm, took about 7 kills for his green to drop.
Woe Spreader. Full team, took about 40 kills for his green to drop.

Anyway, with Oola's Staff, another 3 discord heroes are equipped for the task .

Did not have a ton of time to farm this weekend. For the hell of it I worked on:

Chkkr's Flatbow - Solo farmed with a rit spammer and got about 25 bows. Gave them away in Kamadan.

Asterius Scythe - Farmed with 2 discord heroes and myself as a Spoil Victor necro. Farmed about 7 scythes, getting as expected about 1 every 15 runs. I'll probably sell these since they were more troublesome to farm. Asterius has 3 different spawns but all 3 will lead him to spots where you can attack him away from healing Aurochs or patrolling Wendigos.

Darksong Spear - Solo farmed with a sliver armor/mist form build (raptor farm build). Got a ton of them and gave them away.
