Upcoming Weekend Event
MArcSinus
Hi guys, this is my question
As you all know the upcoming weekend event will feature double odds of achieving green items from bosses. Of course this concerns the green weapons but does this now also include the war in kryta greens? And I don't only mean the new weapons but more important, the new mini's!
I hope your thought can help me cause I'm not so sure.

I would imagine so but I could be wrong, considering the announcement doesn't say...
or possibly the fact that it doesn't need too

Double chance of greens from BOSSES means what it says. If a green can drop from a WiK BOSS, then you have a better chance of getting it from that boss, but not from normal foes.
But don't get excited, a double chance means something like a .02% chance instead of a .01% chance. In my experience, this doubling adds up to nothing.

Yes the description says double chance of greens from bosses. As far as I know the new mini's are regarded green items and they, according to the wiki information, can drop from every mantle/peacekeeper. So logically it would make sense we have indeed a double drop rate of those mini's from bosses.
I do agree that the chance is still very small and because it will only be form bosses the chances of getting them don't improve that much. Unless there is some WiK boss somewhere which can be easily farmed. But I don't think there is any, maybe the one outside ToA but yeah, we will see..

The new bosses just outside Lions arch are easy to get to. There is one in scoundrils rise.
But I have no idea if these new WiK bosses even drop greens, don't they all drop greens there?

Mesmer boss just outside beetletun. Monks boss (the bounty one outside divinity reach)is easy to get to. But the WiK mobs are better setup than most of the other boss mobs. Greaves outside ToA I think you mean him is also easy to get to.

Are the while mantle greens dropped by the bosses? I thought they dropped from the other mantle (goons etc)
majoho
You're right they drop from the normal mobs.
aspi
But don't they also drop from bosses? I can only see one unique item on wiki that is dropped by destor. I hope they drop from bossed too since there are lots of them now.

According to the wiki, mini's drop from whitemantle/peacekeepers, as far I know a mantle/peacekeeper boss is still a mantle/peacekeeper. Not so sure about the weapons, cause The Firebrand for instance, can only be dropped from a Goon ect, unless maybe if the boss is also an ele...

^_^ exspanding horizens right there <3
also a lil off topic.. cant we get like a decent pve weekend.. the last few( and they are few.. this yr has been dommed by pvp) have been tbh preety crappy. (making worthless greens.. even more worthless!)

I can confirm from a lot of totem farming that you dont get double green drop from non-bosses. The root behemoths are not bosses and do not drop double, and the regular mantle dropping greenies are not bosses either. Maybe the WiK bosses drop double, i cant tell

I've had two green WiK drops and they were both from normal mobs.
K. Kismet
I can confirm the WiK green weapons drop from (White Mantle) bosses too, as I had my first The Adjudicator drop from Inquisitor Lashona. Never had a miniature drop so far neither from bosses nor normal mobs though, so no idea about those...
CronkTheImpaler
Im not sure what the % say, however last green couble drop weekend i piled up 21 totem axes just messin round.... sooo im thinkin it applies to all foes that drop "Unique" items. that would include mini's id think. I would assume they are coded the same way all other unique items are.
Cronk
Ps i love the avatar Kismet.. i laughed soo hard when i saw that.

So I guess weapons drop form the bosses too, the upcoming event should give them a double droprate

ANet leaves out stuff in the weekend event descriptions all the time. E.g., for SS/LB a couple weeks ago the description only mentioned shrine bounties, but you got double SS/LB for everything: vanquishing, quest rewards, Zaishen mission/bounty rewards, mission completions, etc.
Plus I wouldn't be surprised if the double green thing is hard-coded and that any new bosses added recently will be excluded. Or maybe the WiK non-bosses will be accidentally included because ANet didn't think to exclude them.

I remember doing some CoF runs during one of the double green weekends and seeing abnormally high numbers of greens dropping from the endchest so I suspected even the chest drops could have been doubled... but would need much more data to determine whether that observation was a real droprate increase or just random "luck".
Hypothesis: whenever a green weapon/item appears on ANY droptable with a defined random % chance to drop this chance is doubled during the event.
This requires extensive testing to be proved.
