Astrolicus.3716 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I just discovered the _[scion weapon set](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Weapons_of_the_Scion "https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Weapons_of_the_Scion")_, and I fell completely in love. I really like the effect. Can you let us craft them? The only way to get it is from [Gift of Aurene (container)](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gift_of_Aurene_(container) "https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gift_of_Aurene_(container)") but it's extremely rare. I understand that it's supposed to be extremely rare to get, but you're missing the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tails.9372 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 A unique weapon set for the Dragonfall meta? Question is: is it as rare as the other ascended gear drops (Pile of Regurgitated Armor and Tequatl's Hoard) or do we have another "infusion" situation here.

Ashantara.8731 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Yeah, I wish they had made that set available for purchase instead of the armor. ;) When I read about it in chat a couple of days ago, I went, "I need that pistol for my thief! Perfect colors matching hers, lovely effect!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnang.1879 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 while you're waiting for it to drop, feel free to craft the poor man's version of the Scion : [Poor man's scion](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wupwup_weapons "Poor man's Scion") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meri.9187 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 These are rare but not inexplicably, indescribably rare as the infusions are. These can drop from ANY mistborn coffer and the meta can be farmed multiple times a day for lots of chances at it. I probably did over 50 metas by the time I dropped mine and likely have opened well over a thousand chests. It seems to be similar to the Tequatl's Hoad in terms of drop rate although we obviously can't say that yet. Sometimes having something be 1:1000 rare is good, but 1:1000000 is not good. I honestly think this set and the Teq set are the good kind of rare, and that's not just because one dropped for me, I've never gotten a Teq drop in my life lol.

And so will the next one. Do you really think Anet's gonna release another map but not entice people to leave the current farm of the month for it? Why do you think dragonfall showers you with AB levels of rares in the first place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Alric.5078 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 So.... they took the 2012 ascended skins, changed the color, gave them a little sparkly effect, and called them Aurene's weapons set? I don't know.... they are not bad, don't get me wrong, but it seems kinda lame. Expecially after they designed an entire Kralkatorrik (branded) weapons set that looks a lot cooler.

Farm of 4 to 5 months to be exact, and even then do you think anet didnt try to do that with pof to hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eloc Freidon.5692 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Its Rare, not extremely rare. Extremely rare is you aren't getting it ever infusion/trade contract. Rare is likely closer to golden fractal weapon drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltaicbore.8012 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I'll pass on the Scion set. I guess the effects are decent, but fundamentally the weapons themselves are just recolors of the base ascended skins, none of which I particularly like.

This one is still rare, still not tradeable, but -at least- not timegated to 1 try / day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safandula.8723 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 What's the difference between them, and normal ascended weapons that we craft or get from boxes? It's only color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they nerf it - it's easy, it gives decent rewards and isn't on a timer, so people can just do it without having to wait around. SW and AB are both years old and people still farm them very regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxxDelta.1806 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I didn't even know those existed. A bit of RNG is fine as long as it's not infusion-level insanity, not everything has to be tradeable whalebait. I'm glad they started doing stuff like Teq's hoard again, it goes a long way to keep meta events alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet people still do AB, Istan, SW, etc... Saying the map will just be abandoned is quite an exaggeration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 If they are as rare as getting a regular ascended weapon box from airship cargo or ascended box from lost bandit chests then I recommend you start praying ... > @"Sir Alric.5078" said: > So.... they took the 2012 ascended skins, changed the color, gave them a little sparkly effect, and called them Aurene's weapons set?

Boogiepop Void.6473 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 If it's as rare as Tequatl and Triple stuff, it's still more doable. You get ONE chance at Tequatl and Triple per day. You can get hundreds of mistborn chests in a day. Frankly, they need to severely lower the rarity of Tequatl and Triple. It's far too high for a one/day try.
