Malediktus.9250 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Where does the Branded Eye of Argon drop? I assume it is some kind of ultra rare drop on the new map, so far only 4 of 195.305 (0,002 %) account on gw2efficiency have it unlocked.  It is buy orderable on trading post, but none for sale. Wiki does not know its source either (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Branded_Eye_of_Argon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante.1763 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Well, im guessing it either drops from the new Shatterer or maybe from killing mobs inside Argons Fort?(i dunno if theres an event that spawns there or not.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it appears be pretty rare, more rare than precursors given the amount of people who currently play through this content. The Shatterer event and the mobs inside Argons Fort are done in masses for the achievements. I wonder if this will just be another impossible to get item similar to the Mini Djins, which still cannot even be buyordered a year after PoF :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malediktus.9250 Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 I guess I am one of those super rich then. I do not mind the rarity itself or spend a good amount of gold on them. But it does not help if you are searching a needle in a haystack and then the needle has only a tiny chance to be visible to you even when you directly look at it. That would describe Mini Djins (or this shield) accurately. If I knew event or chest xyz would have a dropchance for it, I would go for it daily, but no way I will randomly keep playing through PoF maps hoping to win the lottery.

Shouldnt the Djinn drop from the legendary/Champion Djinn(the mastery ones possibly?), i know thats alot of events still, but it would narrow it down a little.

I would rule out all the events that are frequently done for achievements to be honest. Unless the rarity is even worse than expected of course. > @"Ashantara.8731" said: > > @"Malediktus.9250" said: > > It is buy orderable on trading post, but none for sale. > > There is one for sale for 500g. Hurry! ;) I might do that, seems like a bargain at the rarity. On the other hand not many people use shields, so the demand might not become that high?

Ardid.7203 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 You just need to have all three invisible footwear to unlock the drop chance. Very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 > @"Fenom.9457" said: > Probably drops from the branded awakened general argon boss in Argon garrison That seems likely. In GW2 the shield was a rare drop from [Corporal Argon](https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Corporal_Argon "Corporal Argon") in Jahai Bluffs. Assuming his defeat and his shield being taken isn't canon (which seems likely since he had a fort named after him) he would still have it when he was awakened by Joko and subsequently branded...leaving it available for us to take now.

Same, but the price will be outrageous once noone plays the map anymore since supply is so low even with the maps still being relatively crowded.

Randulf.7614 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I just formed a group to beat him. No drop, but he does use it in battle so it seems reasonable to conclude he is the place to camp it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
