[Suggestion] Make Endless Djinn Tonic Tradeable

[Preyar.6783]

Took me 10 tries to get it, now I wonder if the Fake Joko event drops the datamined Endless Fake Joko Tonic.

That's how most of the endless tonic recipes seem to work, you need 50 or so of the normal version to make it. So this would be in-line with other endless tonics, and it would mean you still need to do the event multiple times to get an endless tonic - it just puts a cap on the number of attempts required.

Probably not, it would have appeared in the API by now (unless droprate is abnormally low of course)

now with the recent patch of guild wars 2 the tonic djinn endless are now permanent or more longer !

I've almost hit 100 Djinn tonics now, that's 100 times I've done this event and still no endless tonic. What's worrying me is that it's getting harder and harder to get enough people to actually do the events now and I'm not being able to complete it as many times a day as I used too, as a majority of the playerbase has finished with the content and already moved on(less instances of the map). It feels like it won't be long until the map joins the other living story maps as mostly deserted. (Other then the daily worldboss).

 

Really hope they decide to either make the tonic tradable or create a MF recipe that uses a specific number of the base Djinn tonic (so you would still have to do the event).

I noticed that. The escort seems to fail more often now because Ziya is only a vet and an absurd number of trash mobs spawn at the same time and kill Ziya easily if you have only few people. This is making the escort actually harder than the boss itself.

Even if the true drop rate is 1:100, you wouldn't be guaranteed to get one in 100 tries. (There's roughly a 1-in-3 chance you wouldn't.)

 

If ANet intended to make this super rare, then 100 tries doesn't seem like that many. Still, as I said above, items should be either bound or rare, not both. If ANet wants to make it special through scarcity while still remaining untradeable, then they could gate it behind a crazy achievement.

I've been farming it daily since release with no luck. Random player on map chat: "oh it's rare? I got it on my first try." I'm crying.

Given the number of players there are always people who get something very rare on first try.
