Na, just find some people killing something, and help them out. Basically you just want to get looting rights on one of the titans at least once, hopefully you can manage that.

Hail Guest! Please read the new announcement concerning the upcoming addition to Stratics. You can find the announcement Here!
Open the paper doll, some generals hold a staff and the class is healer, these generals guarantee a spell book drop.
If your on napa i have a few. I can spare free charge. That shield is too sweet not to enhance.
Not at all, actually. Yeah, only being able to do it on the weekend hurts a lot, but you can still get drops fairly easily - you have to kill the human mobs to get the drops.
In our experience it's been three per mob, regardless of the type. The only one guaranteed a drop is the general though. Quite frankly I think the ones who want a mob all to theirselves are the greedy ones when the prize can be shared with up to three people. Thus adding to the chances of stuff with good rolls being spawned, particularly with the spellbooks.
To keep a mob to yourself for the cherry on top (the clothes/armor) is a bit ridiculous, especially if you are wanting armor from those that drop spellbooks. Simply ask for the armor. I think most people on Chesapeake would loot it for you/give it to you, if you just simply asked. Most are pretty decent people.

I don't think the normal etiquette applies to invasions, everyone just seems to pile on and attack the same things. I've not seen or heard anyone complaining about people hitting the same mob as them.

I didn't say it has to be all to myself, nor did the others here who've mentioned. What we were commenting on is those who jump on the mobs just at the end, to gain the drop/looting rights. That's rather a very different thing.
Generally on Chessie, I see folks spread all over the place, each taking on part of the spawn solo or in a small group of two or three. Many are good about asking if you mind when they come to join in on a general. But there's that small % of folks who mob the spawns only at the end, then move on to the next person and do the same thing. I had to page on one last night who was multiboxing with at least 5 chars and 5 greater dragons, and only ever when the mobs were under 50% HP.

It's a shame that greed brings out the worst in people at what should be a fun community event. Unfortunately they seem to have just made it an EM event on a bigger scale! It would be somewhat ironic if the rewards in part 5 were all deco items and shard-bound....
Oh they are all deco....shard-bound I don't know....but they are all decoIt's a shame that greed brings out the worst in people at what should be a fun community event.

Note the rewards we get...NON-EQUIPMENT AND DECO
And when a bunch of people pile on a general because someone announces it in gen chat? Yeah, people are gonna want the generals to themselves, since they only drop a set amount of books. Personally, if it's 2-3 people on it, I don't care if people jump in.
Oddly, I haven't seen a single mage or healer general for the last 2-3 invasion on Baja. And being Baja, it isn't exactly camped. Makes me wonder if the "in crowd" had been spamming the devs with emails complaining about too many spell books drops affecting their RMT's *shrugs*
On a side note, expecting this to happen, I have more spellbooks already than I need so it doesn't affect me personally. But I do feel bad for more "casual" players who don't have time to farm 6-24 hours a day

Yes that has happened to me a few times...which is why I say that stuck spawn in the walls in Trinsic has no bearing on the spawning of the titan..they will spawn when enough of the invaders are killed.
There are those small few on Chesapeake who will pancake if you join in/ask to join in when they are solo and have a one of the less frequently spawning generals with the good drops. I saw it yesterday morning. But seriously, regarding the armor, just ask people. That way you don't have to run around so much waiting for public corpses. Unless your pixels like the workout.
As for the people jumping in when there is already three, I think a couple things are in play. People don't understand items are capped at three. People don't understand a lot about this content. If you let them know, most tend to be respectful. I saw it a couple times and knew it was people who were new to the invasions.
You also have the people who dgaf. As for our dragon botters.... I don't think much of them. Is this the same dragon botter that has been around the past week or a new one? I saw bad behavior the first day from one, then they did their own thing. But I too was jumped yesterday when I was just so happen to be soloing a mob. I got my drop still. I won't say publicly anything more on them but might pm you a couple thoughts.
As of right now, we don't have that issue on Chesapeake. We just have bott trains.
I'm not sure where you get the capped at 3. I've heard in Guild chat where more than 3 are calling out what book they got and a couple more in Gen Chat for the same mage.
Four of us Spent 30 minutes late last night killing single mobs that respawned every few minutes until hydros finally spawned due to all the mobs in the walls. 30 minutes... single respawns... should not happen.
Multi mages with guild mates and friends, we have never gotten more than three. And yes they did enough damage. Because each round someone different didn't get the spellbook. We can test again tonight but that is what we have seen.
