So what have you got so far this weekend from the special event.

I have got about 33 golds outta 40 keys *vabbians* nothing to spectacular but that is probably cuz of the area/chests i am running...but still I like the odds so far. I have gotten 4 or 5 rare items that I have made a pretty penny on...just wondered if anyone else was enjoying this as much as me :P

I've spent about 30k or so on keys for the Desolation and the Realm of Torment (Margonite, not Stygian), at 600g and 750g each, respectively. I've also run a handful of Vabbian keys that friends in the game were nice enough to give me, since they all know that I'm trying to pump my titles up for salvaging purposes (and to work towards "Kind of a Big deal" ^_^).

Out of these I would hazard a guess - a *guess* - that a good 90%+ of the chests I have opened have been golds, which is wonderful, as I am typically unlucky with chests and wind up with odds more along the lines of 50-60% golds of the keys I use. This has been great for me, as the monetary return has been more than enough to make up for the cash I'm dishing out to spend on frivolous chest opening.

Out of these chests I have found only three items of any notoriety. One was in the Desolation area, and two were in the Realm of Torment, none from the Vabbian area. These were: 1) Req. 9 Strength inscribable Gloom Shield (I plan on keeping this), 2) Req. 10 elemental sword with a 20/20 mod, and 3) Rune of Superior Vigor.

I'd say that my hours of running - which have all been really fun with guildies - have turned out very well. I'm happy that Anet decided to give us this.

I used 2 spare demonic keys I had layin around in storage, got a gold req 13 pyrewood staff and a gold req 13 bleached skull..No I wasn't thrilled but it got my monk wisdom r2 so I'm not complaining

Spike · Dec 16, 2006, 11:30 PM // 23:30

Yea I've been doing vabbi chests to geting quite a few golds shame they where mostly req 13 or +14 whiled hexed. I did however get a a few 15^50 inscriptions but the best 2 drops where actually off mobs I killed while looking for chests.

Sol_Vie · Dec 16, 2006, 11:33 PM // 23:33

Out of about 30 Margonite Keys I've gotten only maybe 5-6 purples. In the golds I've gotten 2 crenellated scythes, a crude axe, desolation hammer... lots of mods. I think I've gotten 8-9 Blazing Wing Wands. I've been quite fortunate with drops.

(But now I have to sell something- I barely have any cash left.)

Addone_Abaddon · Dec 16, 2006, 11:36 PM // 23:36

I got a water focus item +30 hp fortitude.

BoredJoe · Dec 17, 2006, 12:46 AM // 00:46

Bought 60 Ancient Elonian Keys, 27 left atm. Most of the stuff I merch'ed except for a purple req 9 Nightmare Scythe I sold for 500g. I'm too lazy to trade spam.

Only stuff I'll keep are a Scrying Glass Staff of Endurance with 20 energy that I'll try on my trapper, an Ancient Axe, req 11 (nice skin), 20/20 Boneclaw staff (req 9 death), Blessed Chalice (very pretty) , req 13 healing though.

Oh my its just like candy, once you get your first gold drop from a chest. I like GOLD, hehe.

i did vabbi chests and i got around 6 fiery dragons swords, most r 15^50 and +7 armor vs ele and also some perfect hp mods. my desolation chests did not do any good, most wands with non max mods

Haven't really got anything too good. Best so far was a req. 9 crenellated spear I sold for 10k.

Although the weekend is doing wonders for my wisdom title.

The Ernada · Dec 17, 2006, 02:44 AM // 02:44

Blah. Im having horrible luck and only gotten 2 golds out of 20 chests.

Kay84 · Dec 17, 2006, 02:53 AM // 02:53

So far no luck, bought about 20 ancient elonian keys and 20 vabbian keys, but aside from a few monk runes I got crap. I'm gonna switch to margonite chests.
