Kidel.2057 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Jade Core has a very low drop rate from Jade Champions in Bloodstone Fen. The map has a low number of players and the event is basically timed. If it doesn't fail (and it fails 50% of the time) the low drop rate makes it very hard to ger the Jade Core.That's how it usually goes: https://imgur.com/a/GaPNydsThe event is every 60 minutes and bound to the map (so you can't evel leave it and return for the event). Can we have a normal moster that drops the item or a 50-100% drop rate? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maidiance.6920 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I would recommend Ember Bay instead; in particular a heart that iirc has a good number of them and doesn't rely on other players. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Investigate_the_mursaat_fortressEDIT: If you want other sources of Jade Core: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Jade_Core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The description says "jade constructs in Bloodstone Fen"I believe so. It's been awhile since I did that step myself, but the wiki agrees that it can be found from other Champion Jade Constructs... except that the individual Champion Jade Construct pages specify only Bloodstone Fen, oddly enough.Edited to be more correct, and again to update.

Ayrilana.1396 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Only in Bloodstone Fen according to the pages for the jades. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Champion_Jade_Armorhttps://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Champion_Jade_Bow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidel.2057 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 So any CHAMPION jade construct. Ok. Thank you, I'll give it a try. If that's the case however, I think that the description should be changed :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidel.2057 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 So I'm confused. Is it only on Bloodstone Fen or not? Can we get a dev to clarify please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidel.2057 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 that's how it usually goes: https://imgur.com/a/GaPNydsThird time in a row now. 3 hours wasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rukario.1695 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I suggest bringing some guildies if possible at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Try to tag up and post in LFG when it’s up right after the daily reset tonight. You’ll probably have the best chance at having enough people then. If you don’t get it then, I’d wait to try again until after the meta event rush ends. It does still get done at random times though as I’ve been on the map farming rubies and people have successfully been completing that meta.

I've done it once randomly and guildies can help a couple of times, but the drop rate is very low. Even when the event was successful, killing 5-6 champions, I got 0 drops. To put it into perspective, I have the anomaly achievement, but I don't have the jade constructs one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyspit.3965 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Honestly, Bloodstone fen is probably my favorite S3 map, so I spend a bit of time there. How long have you been trying to get this done? The reason I ask is because of the Skyscale effect. A month ago the map would have had more bodies on it than at present. A few months back. while I was on that map going through the story with the wife, there were groups for every meta event, including constructs, and all were successful.I'd say in a month or two, the population will return to that map as more people complete their dragon training.

Kidel.2057 Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Yeah, again that's not really the issue. The failing is just an obstacle, but the real problem is that the event is once every hour and the drop rate is low. I've done the full chain 3 times, still no drop.

PepperMint.8509 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I check this forum in 2021 and the drop rate is still the same. I have done 3 sucessful event and still did not obtain the Jade Core. I wish I would not have to do it 6 tries like the above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excursion.9752 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I hear these horror stories and thank god that I got it on my first kill. But I guess I paid my dues when I was working on vision. I had to wait months for a caravan kill in Istan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
