Unlike Salvage Armor, these remains stack in the inventory like collectable drops. Salvageable Remains: Some races will drop remains that are marked as "salvage items".Salvage armor does have variations in its rarity. Salvage armor does not stack in the inventory. Notable exceptions include the Shadow Army and the Skeleton Army. If a creature drops salvage armor, it will actually drop it at a fairly high rate. Examples include the White Mantle, the Charr and Ettins. Salvage Armor: More technologically advanced creatures will drop pieces of armor that can be salvaged for crafting material or runes.Salvage Items: There are two different types of Salvage Items that can be dropped.Equippable items have variations in their rarity. For example, Smite Crawlers drop a lot of Holy Rods and Smiting Staves while Shadow Beasts drop a lot of Grim Cestas and Deadly Cestas. In addition, a creature will drop items in its own profession fairly often. For each species or faction in the game, they will usually have a pattern of dropping items specific to their area (like Shadow Bows in the Fissure or Summit Axes in the Shiverpeaks) and items more general. Equippable Items: This refers to weapons, shields and focus items.The possibility of gold drops varies sometimes according to area ( FoW is less than 10% while UW is more than 25%) and sometimes according to creatures (those that drop armor usually drop gold less frequently). Data gathered in high-level areas like the Fissure of Woe, show that the gold dropped varies between 98 gold and 130 gold in those areas. The higher the level, the higher the amount of gold. Gold: This actually varies based on the level of monster rather than the type of monster.In general, there are several types of loot that a monster can drop: This data compiled in large amounts can show the rough percentages of the different kinds of loot that a monster drops. Still, basic data can be collected on each monster to record the kind of drops that they leave behind. ANet has not published any statistics on any item or monster. The specifics of how a drop rate is determined in-game are unknown. Most farming groups farm the Smite Crawlers, while actual statistical data shows that the Bladed Aatxe drop Ectos at twice the rate. Successful farming is not just based on having the best build to successfully kill and survive, but also, killing the right monsters that produce the desired loot as quickly as possible.Īn example of this, is farming Ecto. The main focus of studying drop rates of loot is obviously farming. What kind of drops does a certain creature drop and what is the rate of each?.How often does a certain type of loot drop?.There are two sides to studying drop rates in Guild Wars: Post to look for / advertise a guild, use /r/GuildRecruitment.Drop rate is a term defined in this wiki (not by ANet) to refer to the patterns that govern how drops occur.Post just to advertise your stream, event streams are fine.Use this subreddit as an alternative way of contacting customer support.Post template memes or no context images.Make sure any videos are marked unlisted / not public If you happen to find an exploit send details and evidence about it to the support team via a support ticket.
