Guild Wars: “Grinding a Green” Woe Spreader

In order to “grind a green” weapon in Guild Wars the circumstances need to be just right. This term is applied to finding a boss that drops your desirable green weapon that is by a portal or exit. This makes it easier for the player to come in and out of the area to reset the boss making them able to be killed over and over at a fast pace. Eventually that boss will drop the specific weapon the player wants and the run is successful.

Some people farm weapons to sell while other players farm weapons to keep. One player in Guild Wars that has every hero available in the game is going to need more weapons than he or she knows. Each hero needs a good weapon and a weapon that works with each build. Grinding a green weapon is the easiest way to get these for many.

The following green grind will take you through the steps of getting a Woe Spreader. This will include the location, party setup, and execution of the run.

This farm is going to be a solo run in the since you do not want to bring other players along. Heros and henchmen are going to ensure you that when the weapon drops you get it. If there are other players in your party then the loot is split and drops can be lost. Bring a mixture of heros and henchmen that will benefit the run. In a farm for the green weapon Woe Spreader, arguably one of the best minion master weapons in the game, the setup would need to be arranged in the following order:

• Player – Damage or Healer
