This is the complete opposite to the other thread shown here:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=41874

In this thread, I want to hear some of the luckiest items, drops, runs and salvages you have had during Guild Wars.

On a run with a guildie, I went to grab a Krytan chest with a hammer wedged inside. Once I identified it, It had a +27 grip of fortitude on it! No joke!

I managed to successfully salvage it and sell it for quite some gold ingame.

-----

Another run was taking guildies from Copperhammer Mines to the Granite Citadel, then running to the Deldrimor War camp. At first, we went to the Granite Citadel with no successful drops or anything, but after a recovery and a stockup we went to the next location, the DWC.

What happened next was unbelievable. I found a rare item in a chest on the way to Grenth's, and killing a boss dropped - for me - 2 mesmer uniques!

after killing more hordes, I got the next chest and a Rare Dwarvern Armor dropped out, again for me!

When we got to the War Camp, I was gobsmacked of seeing what I managed to get. Sure, some of them were crap at the time, but one of them was jealous for a few days that nothing good dropped xD

It was a good run from start to finish though

My monk got a sup. Absorbtion during thunderhead keep. We failed the mission, but it encouraged me to hang in there and put my warrior (whom I hated with a passion) through the rest of the game in order to get her droknars armor and use the sup. absorbtion. (yes I REALLY wanted knights armor).

Now hoping to get fissure for her (and that the rune salvages out ok) and then finishing ring of fire etc.

The day they made mobs flee from AoEs.

The bitching that ensued on this forum and in the game was funny beyond
mere words.

The luckiest thing would be getting 2 sup runes of vigor consecutively (yes i kill one and i got it, then i killed something next and got other)

My friend, well she lucky i gave her my rockmoulder (old one) b4 i knew or cared the worth. :P (i know she didnt sell it)

For me, the 5 ectos in one solo run in UW. 2 Sup Vigour runes from one go in Thirsty River, and then there's the 5 green items all for me in a SF farm group!

Plus i guess the fact i've only really been in one or two rubbish PuG's for FoW/UW recently...

Haven't finished the game with my only character, a Nec/mes. But fancied trying out different skill sets, so went monk secondary, and took two warrior henchies into Elona Reach (1st part only) for a bit of minator bashing. Second time round, gold staff drops, followed by a black dye (my second ever). Head back to Lions arch to try and sell it, spot someone selling Morgriff's Staff for 1k, so I buy it.

I was around Bergen Hot Springs, about to run a guildmate to Temple of Ages, we'd just left and were standing around outside. I got bored and attacked some random skelteton archer, and lo, he dropped me a shiny Superior Absorbsion.

That rune payed for a good few of my characters to live a little.

Got a max damage Shocking Cleaver of Fortitude +28 health, with +15% damage while health is above 50% for 30K off a guildie... going to keep it for now, maybe sell later.

That and going in SF with Dovona and Lina and getting 4 green drops... and then bragging about it to all the warriors, monks and elemenalists who refused to take little old Ranger like me along

ha!

Last night, about midnight... well, ok, one more smite run. Excellent group of four; got me an ecto, an Insightful Ghostly Staff of Defense (max, 10 blood) and a few other golds.

I have simple needs. I was (and still am) quite giddy.

Edit for Clarification... trapper run on the smites. My ranger has a new staff.

Luckiest drop? Probably my first Superior Vigor. Was running with a guildie in Nebo Terrace, he was showing me how to farm Ettin's and voila: I unlocked a Superior Vigor and a Superior Fire Magic rune. He only got some purples.

Best thing happened to me in GW: finding a group of people who care the same about PvP as myself: my guildmembers. They're really a nice bunch of people and if it wasn't for GW, I probably wouldn't have met them.

OK, that last paragraph probably doesn't fit in this thread...

Getting a black dye, a sup absorption, sup fire, and a sup ranger rune from farming Charr for carvings for the halloween treats. Then selling the rediculous treat sets for 2K each a month later.

picture this:
6 team tombs fight. our team beats one of the teams, and its 3 teams left.

we went to fight them and got killed, except for a mesmer, who slipped away unnoticed.

the mesmer then returned to res a warrior (not a monk), who had already ressed. the only chance left - kill a ghostly hero!

the other two teams were fighting, and we saw the purple's ghostly hero in the fight. the two players rushed it, and it was dying!

right before they could have killed him, an enemy dealt the final blow, giving the yellow team a bonus, while we got screwed.

the two players ran to search for the yellow's hero, and after 2 minutes they found him in the yellow base, unguarded!!!

we won the match

Bumping up

Lulu, either it's a very messed up roll, but your party must have been VERY jealous seeing you take the loot from the HoH!

Anyway, keep the good times coming

My friend first talks to be two days ago and says he got 100k for some rune he got in Kryta off a chest (it was Superior Absorbtion). He had only been playing maybe 2-3 weeks when he got it. He didn't even know its value.

Skip to today. He asks to come along with me while I Ettin Farm, saying he could help in some way, or something. I basically make him sit there and keep Blood is Power/Blood Ritual on me while I set the stock of traps, then make him run out and aggro ettins into my traps for me. The Ettins fall most of the time to just hitting the stock of traps.

The second group of Ettins killed drops a Gold Plaudron for him...He IDs it..Its of course a SUPERIOR ABSORBTION (I even made him show it to me).

After that, outta 3-4 trips to the area, I get 1 Gold Plaudron (sup beast mastery), and 2 purps (minor vigor, and major tactics). He gets 2 Golds (The Sup abs., and major fast casting), and 3-4 purps (Major fast casting again, major marks, and some others).

So I am the luckiest man in the world..I get to...watch my friend get all the items I've been coveting for awhile farming ettins...

He is a cool guy though, I guess he gets the irony in it all..because he did share in the drops among the colored ones, and offered 25% of the profit off the Superior Absorbtion.

I had 20k left on my entire account. I didn't know what to do with it, but I always like to keep my gold in case I really want something to get. (I'm not a person who gets money easily, quite the opposite.)
I decided that buying a Coffer of Whispers would be fun... and I really hoped I wouldn't regret it. It was the first time I ever opened a Coffer, or spent more than 10k on a single item.
I got a Mallyx The Unyielding mini pet and sold it for 100k+10e.

wow, just wow.
And the strange thing is that I like it.
Have you read the first post? the guy is actually happy with a +27 fortitude mod and he sold it for quite some gold

I feel so spoiled now, wish I could be happy as a kid in a candystore again.
