White Mantle or Peacekeeper minis
Wyndy
Now that we can solo White Mantle and Peacekeepers as Thackerey, I was curious to know if more people are getting mini drops. Has anyone gotten one from playing the HotN missions?
Kumu Honua
I haven't even seen them drop confessor orders let alone anything to write home about.
Celestina
Best I've gotten is a decent amount of golds.
SpyderArachnid
Haven't seen any Confessor's Orders, but those might be WiK only drops. That is why we aren't seeing them from these White Mantle/Peacekeepers. Might be the same for the minis, seeing as those were WiK content, not HotN content.
Best thing I got so far was a R9 Gold White Reaver. Otherwise, just junk. >.<

I think maybe the greens are disabled in general. No WiK uniques that I've seen, and I soloed Rotscale four or five times with no sign of the green Recurve.

Rotscale still drops greens
jimbo32
Interesting. Like SpyderArachnid said, maybe it's just WiK stuff that's not dropping. Anyone gotten any of those green weps?
Ailina
I've gotten a whole bunch of confessor's orders just from the doing the first mission (twice) alone. So "WiK stuff" is definitely dropping...
I think it would have been really odd to go out of their way to disable just the greens, but it's Anet, so who knows?

Yea I just kinda realized this too, after completing this with 3 characters, I never had a drop of even a confessor's order.
Aeronwen
I have got confessor's orders on these missions, no greens though but thats not unusual....
Iuris
Not a single confessor order dropped, much less a mini.
-Martian-
Completed all quests with my full account (5 characters), not even a single confessor's order or green dropped.

ailina you must be doing the normal war in kryta missions not the heart of the north follow up i`m on my 5th toon going through the follow up and have not had a confessor order or green drop. as seeing as there is a max of 2 in your party the chances of confessors orders not dropping (if they could) says 1 thing they are not dropping in the follow up hotn quest line.
Sakura Az
ive gotten a handful of cofessor orders from the keiran missions... no greens tho.
-Vodka-
I have also recieved Confessor's Orders from the Keiran missions.

One Confessor's orders from the new content.

The drops are almost surely working differently for the Keiran's missions than for typical WiK-enabled explorables.
As an experiment I have cleared the entire Watchtower Coast as Keiran, have observed receiving full 100% drops - always 1 drop per 1 enemy killed (no lootscaling) but have got 0 (zero) WiK specific drops. No Confessor's Orders at all. No other drop anomalies observed.
I did this part particularily because I've been solo farming WiK Watchtower Coast with my rit, getting amount of drops much below 100% (typical speed-based lootscaling) and getting always a bunch (5++) Confessor's Orders per run.
Question for people who claim they got Confessor's Orders from the new content - are you absolutely sure you had them drop while playing as Keiran or maybe got them on the run to grab the next quest enabling item?
Also a SCREENSHOT of having a Confessor's Orders drop while playing as Keiran is welcome in this thread.
I'll be playing more of this myself so will post more observations or even screens later.
EDIT: On subsequent runs the lootscaling works as normal so it's no longer 100% drops (the first run must have been different because I've started it very slowly reading and getting used to new skills and being very slow at killing then). Still zero Confessor's Orders.

Did it with 3 characters so far.
All my margrid heroes have the Rotscale bow now, I even got more than one drop in some runs (the other dragons may drop the green bow too) but I haven't seen a single WiK-specific drop in any of the runs.

6 chars through this new content and no Confessor Orders. Not too surprising since this would be a beyond belief easy way to farm WiK related things.
I have solo farmed the base in Nebo quite a bit in the past and after just over 3 stacks of Orders I had 4 green weapons (zero miniatures). Needless to say they are quite rare as drops but your mileage may vary.

Essence Snow
8 Chars through new content....6 Rotscale bows...0 confessors orders
Definately would like to see some screens of them dropping while playing as Keiran, although I doubt we will.

I havn't seen any orders on my runs as wel.
Sprites
got one confessor order , but didn't take a screenshot
BenjZee
I have gotten two Rotscale Recurves bows on 2 runs of that mini-mission and a confessors orders, however i did not think they were rare enough to screenshot
Mordakai
I will document if I get one...
I've only run Arrowhead like 20 times, no confessor orders (plenty of badges and emblems.... grrr).

Rotring recurves bows always drop from rotscale I herd. or am I wrong?

Actually, Rotwing always drops this bow, at least according to both wikis. Obviously, if you have heroes or henchies in your group, there's a chance it will drop for them, so you won't see it drop.
ALSO:
Sorry this is so late, but looking back, I'm pretty certain now that I got those confessor's orders fighting to the arrowhead. Sorry for being an idiot.

Killing him solo with Kieran (Miku is an ally, and does not get drops) is not guaranteed to get a bow.
I got 3 bows in a row, but a friend of mine got 0.
Xaft
yeah, you cant take henchmen into these quests.... and people have not gotten rotwing to drop a bow in the quest, even though your playing effectively by yourself for drop purposes, so its not a 100% drop.
kokuou
I can confirm this. I killed Rotwing as Keiran yesterday, and no bow dropped for me.
MithranArkanere
Rotscale always drops its bow.
So... why don't we get it sometimes?
Because the source of damage that killed Rotscale came from an NPC.
In this case, that NPC would be Miku. If her attacks or conditions kill Rotscale, you won't get the bow.
I got it every single time I killed rotscale with the sniper shot, but the time it died due to bleeding, the last one that deal that condition as Miku, so I didn't got the bow.
Same happens to me in Kilroy's Dungeon. Enemies he kills won't drop anything for me.

it is not dependant on the source of the damage that kills rotscale - it is a random whether you get it or Miku. I was doing the kieran mission and right at the end with rotscale very low on health - Miku died and I finished rotscale off with arrow skills - I still did not end up with the bow - I assume Miku got it even though she was dead.
matter of time
why you consider Rotwing as exceptional boss? or as boss like one? the drop is random and this is the question of luck ... of course there are mobs with higher rate and lower one but this is a different story ... I do not think the drop appearance has sth to do with the fact the NPC or char has finished the mob ...however of course due to the fact that you kill Rotwing with 2 memeber party increases the drop rate significantly comapring to full 6 member team kill ...
MithranArkanere
Rotscale is a boss-like foe, like the end-game bosses. It doesn't have boss glow, and it seems he doesn't have Natural Resistance like other Prophecies bosses.

thanks for this obvious info ... i was refferig to the proper naming it but ... in fact whatever it is ... my question is still valid why you think this foe has ''special'' drop mechanism?
