Curse

I opened 15 canthan chests -- all purple, then my next two were gold. But I'm pretty sure the OP's picture is simply a bugged item as Anet specifically said in one of the patch notes that there would be no more rare or purple items without a mod.

So where did Anet go wrong? That thing has a mod, it may be a pathetic shocking mod and nothing else, but it has a mod.

Yup, happened to me once too. got a gold long sword that's req 12 and the only mod it has is shocking. (at least it sold to the merchant for a nice 300 and something amount)

Tell you the truth, I have never opened a darkstone chest before because I have never gotten a darkstone key drop. (I never buy keys, only use the ones that I find) So now I'm actively trying to trade all of my shiverpeak keys into darkstone keys.

I've spent 80k on darkstone keys, netted me about 10k back because I sold a 10/9 sundering string I got. 100k+ on shiverpeaks keys, I would have broken even if I sold the stuff instead of keeping it. 200k+ on FoW keys too, have never gotten anything worth mention. But I still run FoW about 10 keys every night now, hoping that I'll get something...

Your basically saying "OMG they sed they wud get better rares but mine is rubish... rant rant rant Anet sux". Well, maybe not as much as that, but did this really deserve it's own topic?

Wow little harsh huh? And so very wrong on your behalf. In no way was I ever crying at all. . And my english and grammar will never be like that. How dare you even say that. Dick move Bale.

Anywho I posted some pics of the good items I have recieved from Darkstone chests. Besides Superior Monk/Necro/Warrior runes.

Canthan Keys: Got 4 Golds out of 20 keys.
All were non-max. But with perfect dmg mods and such. made me mad.

Kurzich keys (heard that lux/kur keys were like "OMG BEST KEYS EVER"): TWO golds out of 15 keys.
All were max though, ones req was outragious and mods werent very hot. One was good.

Phantom Chests in Tombs: About 50/50 gold to purp. usually good unid stuff - horrible mods. best to sell unid.

Phantom Chests in UW: I seriously have opened about 12 of them..and all but 1 was gold. Usually sucky req, but theres good mods, worth Iding.

Darkstone: about 1in5 is gold. But the golds are ALWAYS trash. both in mods AND req...
