I had 2 bosses in a row drop 2 greens: Tanzit and Gardock.

Tanzit dropped Razorstone(for me) and his Defender

Gardock dropped his rod and staff(both bosses in the same room)

I was amazed. Has this happened to anyone else? i have only heard of it happening with drago's 2 bows.

WOOT I FINALLY GOT A SF GREEN!!!!

yes it happens sometimeschances are really low, its also possible that a boss drops the same green item 3 times for 3 different players at once.

No fair, I farmed for 2 hours and got nothing. I swear that place doesn't like Stance Tanks any more.

Today was Crazy..

Malinon drops all his 3 items (I ended up with his Shield), then Korvald drops his Chakram (pour moi), and Rago ends up dropping his Kindlerock (also for me)

I never had that.. (and I only asked Malinon pretty nicely to drop his shield *whistles*)

Anet just needs to fix their silly random seed. I'm beginning to think good items never drop if you farm at ungodly hours for the particular realm.

So if you want good items and you live in Australia, you should farm at 3am in the morning since ozzies use the American realm.

I also had sweet luck on sunday. Not gonna say where, but were lower level, monsters, rune farming, and I got no less than a dozen runes in one half hour run. Including: 1 sup vigor, 2 sup healing prayers( used vigor, and one healing on my monk) major absorbtion, and various other lower runes, but not too bad. I could not believe how lucky,you know? I would have been happy with just one of the sups. Oh, and no one of them was a blue, all purple, and gold. So yesterday was sweet for runes,as later on, one of my guildies got a sup prot prayers. Ah well, I'll have to see If I am just as lucky today

Ever since the update everyone is a green wh0r3...I admit that I am too, but its annoying...I get in groups for SF quests and everyone wants to attack boss and die (group seperates)....
To stay on topic:
Got Gargash Recurve Bow, Thornbeards Horn Bow, and Ivors Icon in the same run.

Yesterday, Tanzit dropped another Tanzit's cleaver for me. I am wondering why ppl like the Razorstone more than his cleaver. Cleaver always gives u +30 heath and lengthens deep wound compared to 20% chance of +1 axe mastery and 10% chance of double adrenaline for the Razorstone. Other than Razorstone's looks, his cleaver seems decent.

Best luck I ever had was an Orozar farm, done with 3 players (myself-spiteful necro, a ranger trapper/tank, and a minion master) and 2 henchies (Lina and Mhenlo, who, btw, did a better job than most players I've been with).

Anyway, I got Rago's Fire Staff and Bortak's Bone Staff in a row, thats 120K I made in 1 run, I was so happy I offered each of the others an ecto.

Which leads to a second point to all the closed minded fools out there, guess what you don't NEED to have a 2 echo-nuker, 2 monk, 1 tank party. Other combinations work too, echo-spiteful necros are great dmg dealers, as are minion masters. Trappers who know what they're doing can also be awesome "nukers" trapping right under their feet. Finally, I learnt somethine else, 1 good monk is better than 2 crappy ones (after a 4-man farm, 1 monk, 1 tank, me as echo-spiteful, and another nuker).

Anyway, I still swear by Lina and Mhenlo for Orozar runs, I've had more succseful quest completions with them, than with real monks (who have the audacity to demand echo-nukers and think necros and mesmers are useless).

Did five 5-mans FA runs on Saturday morning, all with the same group. I wound up with 14 greens in total, the good ones being a Malinon shield (sold in that run), Rago staff (kept as I was using a nuker), complete Ivor set, complete Gordok set, and a couple Wroth Icons. Other good ones for the party included the Razorstone and another Malinon shield. Everyone got some decent golds from the chest, and we had a couple sup runes drop as well. Total green count was just over 30.

Including two FoW runs (5 shards and then 3 shards) made for a very profitable day.

As a warrior, you need to be a stance tank, bring more defensive skill to keep yourself alive like a meat shield. Nuker (Fire Ele) do the damage dealing, listen to caster call on energy, don't aggro when people is not ready. If you follow these rule, I don't think that you will have problem to find a group with. Once you have done that, people will invite you out again and again.

According to someone who posted in this forum, boss drop rate if you kill it solo is 25%. So odds of what you accomplished are:

0.024%

Extremely unlikely to happen.

Then again, Anet's randomisation has been known to be skewy.

I am beginning to dislike sorrows with a passion. I have done well over 100 3-5 man farming runs, and I have only got 1 green ever, and it was bludgeoner. just today I went with the same group 4 times in a row, the prot monk got 2 ragos staves in consecutive runs, razorstone was dropped several times, as was many other greens. I just have no luck I swear, either that or anet is getting back at me for farming 600+ ecto solo for my fissure sets.I bet that is why now I think of it. bah...

It won't beat any of your runs, but...

I was doing a run to get from Copperhammer to the Granite Citadel, and then to the War camp. We wasn't getting anything good on the first run, so we rested and restocked for the run ahead. Upon entering the area (from Copperhammer North), a normal enemy dropped a rare item. Then we went to Grenths and a Mesmer boss came and we killed it. Hoh boy...

something good-ish happened and I got 2 Mesmer Uniques (or pre-customed Epics) much to the annoyance of the Warrior Nation members

(well it was 3 players and 5 henchies) after opening a chest and getting ANOTHER rare we went to the War Camp and a friend on the Guild was ....well you get the picture, he WAS annoyed that nothing good dropped for him! xD

i get a decent amount of greens, maybe 1 every 10 runs, but thats enough for me, i already bought all the necro ones like the day after the patch, so i just sell the ones i get, but green farming isnt all that anymore, i mostly farm runes(i can get up to 12 sometimes in a half hour) and crystalllines(ive gotten 3 in 2 months, not quick, but good money)

theres a couple in my auction right here if you dont believe me

i got lucky, but, it was wierd... It wasn't a green, cuz i was on my lvl 9 mesmer. I'm relatively new to the game, ive had for about, oh, say, 4 weeks. Anyway, im running myself on my mesmer (weird...) to that church-type place in Pockmark flats and since its a mesmer i cant afford drag on the 1st part, Eastern Frontier. So, I kill a lvl 8 plague devourer. Guess what it drops? Black dye. so, im like "sweet, lalalalala" etc. then, i kill a lvl 4 carrion devourer, not 5 minutes later, and it drops... Black Dye! now, im like "Holy Crap! sweeettt!!!" (remember im a newb!) so, i get on my main acc, Robin, and i have this Sup. rune of Divine favor, sum dude buys 4 7k, prices on dye go up at night, i sell everything and make 22k...

I haven't done the SF run many times but i have killed over 30 bosses from there and have only had two green items....

Morgriff's Staff
Energy +10
Cold Dmg:11-22 (req.9 Death Magic)
Improves Casting Speed (10%)
Improves Skill Recharge (10&)
Armor +5
Armor +5

Ok for the next one...

EXACT SAME

!!!!!!!

This might have been not so bad, but i dont use death (so i wont use one) and no one else wanted to buy them. So it ended up being 46 Gold from the merchant. P.S i tried selling this staff for weeks and no one was inteseted.

I have a question...Why the heck would you need X2 Armor +5 on a staff (c'mon how much better would a +30 health or +5 Energy mod be) . Surely there is some use for it that im not seeing, but from where im sitting it looks like Anet made this staff as a (man do i feel sorry for the player getting this....wait no we're not).
