Time to try again, then. So far, not a single one of my characters has been able to open for a 3rd time.

Knightsaber Sith · Apr 11, 2007, 12:38 PM // 12:38

Strangely, none of my characters have been able to get any of the chests a second time which seems odd...

Mournblade · Apr 11, 2007, 01:28 PM // 13:28

I was able to open the first two chests again with four of my characters (thats as far in the game as i've taken them) but with my two main characters who have finished the game, none of the chests will open. Fooey.

Opened chests 2nd time with my Warrior.

2nd attempt has been all sucky drops, but all gold till now.

Well, one had a +30 hp spear head, so that was nice.

Also, I got 2 barbed axes one after another from the chests and both sucked.

Hopefully I will have better luck with the remaining Treasure today.

In the past, the chests have reset with major updates. Like Wintersday.

I've opened them 3 times so far with 3 of my character and my fourth character for the first time yesterday. I'll log in later to see if they have unlocked for me for a fourth time.

VengeanceatMidnight · Apr 11, 2007, 07:03 PM // 19:03

TY! I beleive that the chests reset w/ major updates.. it says something similar on Guildwiki..check it out...

havok019 · Apr 11, 2007, 07:19 PM // 19:19

I usually check the chests (Istan/Kourna) every couple of weeks and I haven't had a reset on any of them with my warrior (no second drops -- Always "Empty" or "Found Nothing"). I think the first time I opened any of them was around January 20, so some should have reset a few times now. Am I reseting the clock by checking on these and should I just leave them alone for a month, or am I just screwed?

Saraphim · Apr 11, 2007, 08:29 PM // 20:29

I think it's best to leave them alone for a month, even if you test it with just one or two toons. I know for a fact that my toons that couldn't open them today have all had a fiddle within the last month. The two who haven't both got goodies.

Lady Ana Stacia · Apr 11, 2007, 08:49 PM // 20:49

Been almost 2 months since I got the chests last and they still aren't reset for any of my toons

Evilsod · Apr 11, 2007, 09:00 PM // 21:00

Pff, this was pathetic. Reopened them on my ele, 7 purples in total. Hardly worth the damn time.

VitisVinifera · Apr 11, 2007, 10:00 PM // 22:00

tried with 3 characters, all empty

kumarshah · Apr 11, 2007, 10:32 PM // 22:32

Did they like nerf the drops too or something?

All req 13s...

Evilsod · Apr 11, 2007, 11:46 PM // 23:46

My rangers are STILL empty and my warrior had 6 shitty purples, a Diamond, the worst of the gems and 5 crappy golds with bad mods.

Arkantos · Apr 12, 2007, 12:30 AM // 00:30

I've been getting low req golds so far. Gotta req 8 dual winged axe, but it was 6-27

Batou of Nine · Apr 12, 2007, 03:33 AM // 03:33

6 out of 10, of my characters have opened ALL chests 3 times each already.

I haven't written down exact stats, but from what i remember::

-They reset PER toon, every 30-31 days.
-After the first time a particular toon has opened a chest, the chances of getting a purple or lower rewards exponentially increases.
-1st Run:: Overall averages with ALL 6 toons got ALL high end drops/gold items their first run through (all freebie chests in one session).
-2nd Run:: Overall averages of ALL 6 toons, did net lower drop value (cash+non-weapons), as well as about 40% or less items being purple.
-3rd Run:: Overall averages of ALL 6 toons, did net much lower drop values, and amount of purple drops ended up outnumbering gold drops to about +60% purples.

So yes, the more each toon opens a freebie chest, the less value drop they will get. The recharge of each chest is around one month (~30 day period, it seems). Fun easy run to get em all. One of the two in the Realm of Torment i don't get though, cause the run takes too long...

meh, thats my take.
cheers.

Wait for the fourth time. Got so low amount of $$ and the only gold I had was from Kamadan region island 2 chests.

Never again I will farm those stupid one.

BTw, this is exactly the kind of comment this tread need. Good stats thats goes with all the other very precises I added and some other did too.

SO for now the word is...max 3 times thats it.

Next step for cracking this code :

After a 3 or 4 run geting at 3rd and or 4rth craps, opening those with a brand new players that never opened em of just finish the NF game to see if the records of those chest are account or Char related.

Hell Raiser · Apr 12, 2007, 08:46 AM // 08:46

The last time I was able to open any of them was Jan. 20 or a few days after (that was the second time opening). I tried again today with my 3 main characters and none of them can open any for the third time, been almost 3 months...

Gli · Apr 12, 2007, 09:26 AM // 09:26

My main toon opened the chests all on the same day, within a few days of their introduction. She opened them again in januari, after the first reset, which seems to have been a totally global one, for everyone. Again, all on the same day.

Every time when there's this 'the chests have reset!' hype, I try them again. They never work. My other toons share similar stories.

I'm really starting to wonder about this 'secret formula'. It's starting to look like: "Some people: once a month; other people: never"

Random Random · Apr 12, 2007, 09:51 AM // 09:51

I just opened them for the second time on one charecter.

I got:
1 Superior Vigor
1 Superior Death
1 max gold Ruby Maul, salvaged and got 3 rubies, had a measure for measure inscription on it
1 Max gold req 11 copperleaf shield
1 gold but non-max cane

Did not check any nightfallen chests as i only have a few mins this morning.
