Its luck, pure and simple. You were unlucky.

Actually it seems fairly logical for gold drop rates to be decreased with the new salvaging and inscriptable system. I've generally been taking keys with me and opening chests as I've gone through the game, and I've had one gold chest in total, which was in Kourna. Chests in the Realm of Torment (supposdly the high-end area of Nightfall) generally don't even have max damage weapons in them, whereas in Factions and Prophecies the high-end area chests would almost always be max damage, even if the purple/gold mods on them weren't great.

I got 6 gold weapons while in vabbi. 3 of them had req 9 and all max mods

i keep getting gold drops in lathena bog, korsairs drop runes more then pre-nerf ettins

JONO51 · Nov 05, 2006, 02:06 PM // 14:06

I dont know why you lot are getting like 2 golds for every 30 chests or whatever. Try running the vabbi chests in yahtendi valley i get loads og golds including a very nivce 15^50 fiery gladius which Koss is making good use of ^^

Tiny Biscuit · Nov 05, 2006, 02:26 PM // 14:26

30 margonite chests, 6 (crappy) golds...

Zeph · Nov 05, 2006, 04:00 PM // 16:00

Yeah the drops are crap in nightfall. I've completed it with 1 of my chars and i'm at the sanctuary with 2 others but non have had a single decent gold from a chest and I've probably had about 4 golds drops between the 3 chars, all of which were merchant food.

Considering nightfall is such a good game, the drops & chests are complete and utter crap.

Keithark · Nov 05, 2006, 06:33 PM // 18:33

1st..some don't know but chest can be gold for one person and grape for another in same party so the days of letting one person check then the rest either skipping or opening are over. 2nd..lots of gold drops out there and more than usual green..1/2 way thru game and 4 greens already. and 3rd yes the golds do seem to be a bit weak in comparison to the other campaigns

JONO51 · Nov 05, 2006, 06:43 PM // 18:43

where can you find the margonite chests because i have a key but cant find the chests :?

Masta Devious · Nov 05, 2006, 08:34 PM // 20:34

Completed nightfall and got one gold drop. A max bramble blade 15% w/hexed req9.

I only got 1 throughout factions too so i guess im just lucky.

garethporlest18 · Nov 05, 2006, 08:49 PM // 20:49

Actually no gold is weak, you can upgrade each one to be perfect. So if you get a req 9 you have a perfect req 9 no matter the stats on it. Because it can be made perfect. I don't know about you guys but I've been getting 15^50s all over the place. +30 shield handle -2 in stance and while enchanted...

red killer woman · Nov 07, 2006, 03:22 PM // 15:22

Heh... Lucky you ppl, all are talking about how many golds and perefct items they alrdy got in NF and that makes me jelaous...(

Margonite Chests are found through the Vortex where all the bad things live.

They certainly do seem few and far between but one thing I have noticed is that when I find one there are often another 1 or 2 not too far away. Same goes for Vabbi chests. I've had more luck getting golds out of the vabbi and ancient elonian chests...although it is just luck (before someone feels the need to point that out for me

)
