Im wondering but its just pure speculation my brain made up.
Does attribute's suffix calculation (to be applied on the shield), also gets influenced if it drops around specific caster groups? (Like ele/monk and mesmer/necro) or is that pure a fact of math and luck? (i.e getting Shields from chests near particly/full caster enemys like Rott Wallow packs in Pongmei Valley, and Ice Elementals & Imps outside of Ice Caves of Sorrow) Regards Zephyr. ---------- Quote:
Each mission contains 3-5 chests, time spend finding them varys. The only downside from this is that u need too prevent that King Jalis Ironhammer doesn't die throughout the mission. I usually do that with heroes and just gank through mobs, and flag them out of compass when opening chests. However i haven't tried running him out of compass (Jalis) at the start in order too "stuck" him since he's scripted too follow a certain pathing if a player is in range. Togo in the mission Zen Daijun has some sort of Same mechanic, and the method above can be applied here succesfully on Zen Daijun. So too keep It short, give yourself a shot at it :P Last edited by Zephyr of Light; Nov 10, 2013 at 11:55 PM // 23:55.. |

^mods are generated at random
and THK let alone any mission is not efficient at hunting chests with few exceptions, the point of chest RUNNING is to skip the bs and get straight to the chest. |

If anyone would like to join and run together i leave my IGN: Damy Rade. I'm mostly running kurzik areas since I'm quite lazy to do missions to unlock cities on luxon site. (but if there was anyone who prefer run them i would do it). Cheers.
Ps. Any ideas how to run past big groups of dredges? They remove stances, have knockdown and interrupts. I usually die when chest spawns near them (in morostov trial) |

1. Step = Move in with "IAU!" 2. Step = Open Chest + Pick up crappy drop^^ 3. Step = Dwarven Stability + Dash = 6 Sec. Ultra Fast Mode.... No enemy will follow you. That works pretty much everywhere for me. Also you should take "Can't touch this!" with you on a hero. When active the warriors can't knock you down with "Shove". Works pretty nice against Rot/Fungal Wallows too.... Peace Last edited by system.fan; Nov 19, 2013 at 11:51 AM // 11:51.. |

Yeah thx guys. I was running, more secure way with shadow sanctuary in place of rush and didn't have a breaking agro skill. I found Mourning Veil Falls quite fast and comfortable area to run and got mine first Goth there. Got some gothics and echovald in pogmei also, but I have theory that they drop there more likely in purple quality.

Hard mode basically turns all areas into the same chance to drop more golds.

thanks for the results, really proves that shield drops are random and not favored.
would also like to know the amount of non-rare shields most people consider were dropped. |

Shield of the Wing, Aegis, Defender, Tower Shield (I've dropped a q8/16 in nm 3 days ago), Estamped Aegis, Crude Shield (but not sure), Renforced Buckler, Ornate Buckler, and maybe some others.
I do the same stats in hm but with one or more player, cause I feel the drop quality is less than in solo. For the moment I've opened 450 chests in duo+. Further, with +2 players, the first opening have a chance to drop x tomes (reg or elites) in the same chest (x = number of player). In that event, all of the other players will open an empty chest. It's a bug wich can be profitable... or not ^^. (Hope my english is understandable ). |

Nice research. Did you take notice how many of those shields were dual modded?
