They are Open world boss spawning items... Open World is by definition the most casual content in the game. Now that might not be casual by your definition. So, well... Depends? If you don't define your terms, you can't really expect an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zushada.6108 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Essentially, you are marked for death from a Bounty in Central Tyria. Even if you happen on a champ bounty that has already been spawned, you can get the death mark. If you go an aggro a champ Bounty boss and defeat it, a legendary boss (Legendary Bandit Executioner) potentially spawns. That legendary boss hurts a lot but will also despawn if all players in the area die (those players who have smacked the boss and are in event radius). On the other hand, if ppl rez the downed or stay out of AOE and/or run back from WP after death and before anyone else dies, the boss can be beaten. You won't get any epic loot but you may get a precursor drop (but those can drop from any NPC enemy) in world. You can also get an exotic trinket as well; in addition, there is an achievement associated with Bandit Bounties. Not sure if that answers but good luck and have fun out there.

Anyway, @"Oglaf.1074" and @"Zushada.6108" did a great job explaining it. For future reference the wiki is your friend... You can even open it from the game (it tabs you into your browser though) by typing /wiki, followed by whatever you want to learn about, in the chat. So in your case, you just needed to type "/wiki Bandit Death Mark" in the game chat, and the game would open a browser on the wiki page for that.

Danikat.8537 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Basically it spawns a 'mini' world boss at the end of another event. It ties into the Current Events stuff that ran alongside Season 3 of the Living Story, but you don't need to have played Season 3 to do it. As for whether it's for casual players or not that depends on your definition of casual. It's absolutely not solo content, even the best players would need a group to take down the legendary bandit executioner and you're going to have to pay attention during the fight and move away from his attacks even if there's loads of people around. But they are open-world events, they can happen any time and you don't need an organised group beforehand, you can do it with whoever is around at the time. I call myself a casual player because I 'only' play on some evenings and weekends, I'm not the best player and I rarely have time for organised group content (even Fractals can be difficult for me, unless the group is ok with doing just 1 Fractal) and I've fought the legendary bandit executioner several times. But I know other casual players who wouldn't bother because it's only needed for 1 achievement and is designed to be harder than most open-world bosses, which isn't the kind of content they're interested in.

Actually, it drops into your inventory (sometimes) if you participate in a bounty hit on an ordinary "champion" bandit boss of the sort you find in Queensdale, Kessex Hills, Brisban Wilderness, etc. (Oops. Did I just say 'ordinary "champion"'? Well, compared to the executioner, they are ordinary.) @"Lazytophat.4382" and @"Alga.6498" beware: the executioners are well 'ard, and will "[finish](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Finisher "finish")" downed players. You'll need to have your full arsenal of advanced GW2 combat technique available. Dodge. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to have your full arsenal of advanced GW2 combat technique available. Dodge. A lot. Seriously... If you're going to "Humm, Actually someone", don't repeat what they said, and be wrong about it... 1) According to the wiki, because yeah, wiki... It still drops from the mail like i said... 2) It doesn't just "drop into your inventory", it's one of the drops from Embroidered Coin Purses... Which, are dropped by the bounties, like i said and you repeated. But also other Outlaw champion bags, like Taidha Covington, who's actually a world boss... They're not that hard, the problem is that they create a bubble that prevents you from joining the fight if you leave it, so you're confined to a small area if you want to kill it. Also it has these tornadoes, iirc, maybe bubbles? That will reflect your projectiles, so you have to take care to not let them intercept your projectiles, which is hard because the executioner moves around a lot. Mellee is also not safe cause he hits hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Executioner is also another boss where you want to fight with a small group. Only times I've ever seen the executioner being interrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phs.6089 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Just trash them, those bosses are hardly solobale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 You do need to be carrying one while defeating the executioner to complete one of the achievements so you might want to keep at least one around until you have that done. On the other hand it is not hard to get. Just do a bit of Silverwastes chest farming if you run into that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
