Getting better weapon

Anyone got any tips to get better weapons?

I've had my main hand chainsaw for quite a while and haven't found anything to replace it with yet. It only has 129 might but a 74% buff to fracture. I've received a few with higher might but either they were white with no skill buff or they buffed a skill I barely used.

What zone would you recommend farming to get better weapon? I just broke the 6k prestige.

side note: I haven't done any of the 5 man content yet. Do they drop better gear or is it just random like everywhere else?

Just keep running solo/3 man dungeons. That's the only place you'll get a weapon drop and if you're lucky you'll get another blue chainsaw with fracture on it. Honestly don't worry about it too much, you can get a lot of might from your equipment upgrade slots (enhancement stones/particles of mastery) and from your order/temples.

For 5 man dungeons the only purple/gold gear you'll get will be amulets. Rings and weapons won't drop until 10 man raids (Isabella for rings, Distortions for weapons).

It's just RNG for gear. :)

Try running the most difficult adventures you can, preferably in a group. Chances are you will find some upgrades.

Use this Google doc as a reference https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0

Find your proficiency, then look at the highest content you can run with your prestige.

Thanks. It's good to know I've just been unlucky and not actively gimping myself by running the wrong things lol

I just wish I would get more weapon for my current class and not the ones I haven't played yet but I understand how RNG works and complaining won't change anything about that lol.

Yesterday I got about 4 weapon upgrades two of them blue just from running impossible squad missions ( 3 man). Hope that helps.

The queue is no fun. But PVP is a great source for weapons close to your proficiency level. So out in an open zone queue for the 3v3.

Win or lose does not matter and its only 7 mins. Did it twice last night and got main and off hands that were a lot better than I had.

Think I will stick to the 3 mans for gear, getting destroyed by 3 cyros on my Alchemist wasn't fun at all. I think I pulled out to kills on that match...barely. LOL

Neder test area will give the same rewards as PVP (as will Aristel's farm I believe).

Oh this is good to know. I don't really have any problem in there so I could easily go in and out quickly. (no queue there compared to PvP)

I just zone in and go make coffee :)

Yes Nedder does too I just have closer gear to my prof in the pvp. It may just be RNG :)
