I got (what I consider) a sweet bow. 14-27(req.11) +15%(unconditional) +30hp -5 energy and icy damage. It came on a bramble skin too- which is by far my favorite.

Jeff Highwind · Dec 24, 2006, 11:21 PM // 23:21

The bow isn't max, 15-28 is the max range.

The HP grip is killer though.

You guys know what. Just had one of those funny thoughts

Maybe these are Anets way of trying to slow down the CC farming. HAHA

More likely they are here for the holiday season only, meaning the next time they will be back is at the next big event which wont be for months, if they come back ever.

Well its technically "conditional" the condition is that u have -5 energy its not max dmg either =/

I got 4 chars [with all 12 chest done =)] 6 chars to go -_- to bad thier just in kouran/istan, wont be able to get the vabbi + chests unless i rush them all

chaotic1ne · Dec 25, 2006, 08:13 AM // 08:13

i have all the chests done on my necro, having trouble with domain of pain chest >< dervish just got finished up till the torment ones, prolly ganna bring my tank over so she can run aroud and grab the istan, and kouran chests quickly.
so far ive gotten a adamatine falcion(r10), ruby maul(r10), desolation maul(r9), and a ruby, gotten other stuff but not really worth mentioning,

Yeah i only did the baddok cavern chest once and the 2nd domain + ruptured heart chest twice ebcause they were hard and im lazy.

Jeff Highwind · Dec 25, 2006, 07:15 PM // 19:15

Bahdok cavern wasn't that tough, there's just alotta apes and heket to deal with.

But yea I only did up to vabbi because I knew the Desolation and Torment ones would be too tough.

Sentience · Dec 25, 2006, 08:31 PM // 20:31

The Desolation and Torments are rather easy, most of your hench can stay alive till you reach the one next to the Signet of Illusions boss. The one in the Gate of Pain is easy, I just run around the area outside of the central area and dodge the Margonite's. It's rather simple and usually at least 1 hench survives till the end to distract the group near the chest.

Done pretty well off these chests, made around 350k off of them. It was the deciding factor in purchasing Fissure for my Warrior.

Evilsod · Dec 26, 2006, 12:52 AM // 00:52

Why fight to them? All but 2 can be reached via running. Either bring Shadow Form, Spellbreaker (or an SB Hero), Shields Up and some running skills and run to it with ease or waste your time fighting to them all.

To reach the 1 in Domain of Pain... just run onto the bridge, use SB on yourself and run through.
Nightfallen Jahai...hope a Rain of Terror isnt in the group or bring SB/SF.
Trickiest 1 is in the Hidden City imo, need a long SF/SB to make it past the CA Mirage Ibolgas.

Update from Gaile at GWO. (because she REALLY hates Guru)

Reading the Update Notes of December 20th, they say just this, "Additional treasure chests are available throughout the continent of Elona."

I have sent an email to clarify, as what's written seems to indicate they are not temporary and are not related only to Wintersday. Today is Christmas Day and I don't know for sure who is picking up email during the holiday period. My instinct now is to say they're here for good, based on all the references I can gather, but I'll do my best to confirm that with offical word from one of the designers involved with the chests as soon as possible. :smiley:

So...uh...I don't know what to believe.

I have sent an email to clarify. As I read it, the chests are not seasonal after all, and the chests will remain in the game.

Mark Nevermiss · Dec 26, 2006, 11:00 AM // 11:00

I donno 350k sounds too much to be true, but who knows.. I got a total of about 35k from the lot of them on each of my two chars that had access to all areas, including the value of the dropped weapons. Either thats not true or sucks 2 b me :P

Alexander Castle · Dec 26, 2006, 12:16 PM // 12:16

I had 3 perfect shields for warrior & paragon
about 30k in cash
and some other rubish weapons i could sell for 5-10k ea xD
i bought my FoW helmet with it for my war

jackie · Dec 26, 2006, 02:23 PM // 14:23

Chests are wonderful way to get cash really quickly but on the other hand there goes another bunch of items down the toilet if looking from traders point of view.

Now where's our crystalline sword chests?
