It took a long time for the first mini ghostly to drop from the HoH chest. It may take even longer for mini Jora to drop from the Zaishen chest...

It'll be a mini balthazar I think.

I know you trying to save the "economy" in GW, but I really had a laugh thinking about the guy who bought the first q9 eternal blade...now, 1 month ago I wanted a gothic dual axe q9 +15^50, because I saved up the 100+20e needed for that...now I will just wait a bit more, till the price will drop to something like 60k for r9 ones lol (personally I don't care if it is inscribable or not, just want it because it fits my look). So well....just surrend to the evidence.

I Agree but it gets annoying as hell when people post false info like that moron posting a sundering crystalline of fortitude and that other idiot who posted that fake req 7 one.

I think most of the stuff being sold(besides the eternals) is just people panicing about the market about to fall apart :P
Everyones trying to sell stuff as high as they can XD

I love how people just don't get it at all.

When you get a drop from the chest, it is reserved for you.
Below the Name/Type of item and the description (unidentified, etc) are some simple little words everyone wants to see in the picture...

RESERVED FOR XXXXXXXXX

When it comes to certain high end items....

Showing a picture of you next to the chest and an item on ground means nothing.
Showing a picture of you with the text "XXXXXX has picked up XXXXXXXXXXXXX" means nothing.

Until someone posts a picture with the "Reserved for... " text any high end items posted in pics are going to assume be fake pics.

Yes there is an increase of high end sales of crystallines and eternal blades, but that doesn't mean anything. Sorry to say. Its the same with spreading rumors, it will lower the price. Look how many Forum auctions there were for the Terror Shield when it supposedly was added.

If you get nice drop from chest, Crystalline, Eternal Blade, etc... Congrats and good for you, but if you're gonna post a pic, post a pic with the "Reserved for" text.

Posting SS

Someone actually did it right!

These images can still be faked, obviously, but they are better proof than the previous pics.

Assuming it isn't fake, congrats on the drop.

Why are we still debating if Stygian, Crystallines and Eternal do drop from Zaishen Chest?

stuntharley · Dec 09, 2007, 06:39 AM // 06:39

if you'd like to see it, feel free to pm me.

No you aren't alone, I hate the skin aswell, along with ele swords and other "high-end" items, not because I can't afford them, they look unrealistic and like toys (ele sword, fiery/icy blade axes, stygian reaver, etc).

As for the chest and people QQ'n about it destroying the already nonexistent economy, stop whining. If you think WoW is so much better go play it and get off of the GW fansites. If you can't tell, Anet added this to increase the amount of PvP players and give bored players something to do and work for. People always think it's the apocalypse everytime Anet does something, try to see this from Anet's point of view.

Thats if you can. If crystallines are dropping from the chest, its gonna be hard to sell them now-days.

i know the merchant wont be complaining.

On the subject of the item being "Reserved for XXXXX" surely it will only be reserved if you leave the temple with another 'human' party member? If you go out solo or with heros, then i thought that no reserved text comes up, being as its not possible to have your items stollen by your heros - although is anyone else suspicious of vekk?

Great point. I personally would never trust anybody/anything who constantly calls me a Bookah. I use Zhed, Sousuke, and a fast casting Norgu as my 3 eles if I need to use 3 eles.

Creme brulees, firewater....

If i wanted to eat sugar, I would do it in person. If I wanted to get drunk, I'd do that person too.

Please anet, get these lame useless items (and titles linked to them) out of the game.

Nope, it still says reserved when you go out with no one / heroes.

kade · Dec 09, 2007, 09:02 AM // 09:02

on the note of debating whether or not eternals drop...have any of you looked at the high end forums today? there are about infinity of them for sale....

CassiusDrehyg · Dec 09, 2007, 09:03 AM // 09:03

100 TRPs = 20 keys.
100k faction = 20 keys.

40x5k = 200k

I think I'd sooner take that than brulees.
