Curse

This may just be me, but I have opened around ten chests across Elona in regions of different difficulty, even in the Realm of Torment, and have gotten nothing but req 12-13 non-max golds. Every staff I have gotten has been 11-21, etc. The mods are nowhere near max. I feel like I'm opening chests in Ascalon or something. Anyone else having the same problem?

garethporlest18 · Nov 02, 2006, 12:36 AM // 00:36

Nope, in fact I have the opposite kind of. I've opened around 100 chests so far, gotten a lot of crappy req golds, mostly around req 10-13..got a req 9. But I've gotten 4 15^50 mods, 3 5^50 mods, 4 HCT 10% mods, 2 15%-10 and 1 15%-5. I'm running out of room for all this stuff.

You poor soul.

I've gotten about 20-30 chests, most of which purple but I got about 5 golds as well. Nothing good though, max damage but high req and non-prefect mods. I did get a 5e^50 mod from a purple though, that made me smile.

Blightfire · Nov 02, 2006, 01:39 AM // 01:39

I opened like 30 chests in realm of torment and got like 70% of them grape : (

Zatara · Nov 02, 2006, 02:08 AM // 02:08

20 chests all purp

CHUIU · Nov 02, 2006, 03:36 AM // 03:36

I've had some pretty good drops, but I waited until Vabbi to start chest farming.

LiQuId StEeL · Nov 02, 2006, 03:56 AM // 03:56

3 golds from 65 Vabbi chests... yep... terrible.

last streak was 33 grapes in a row.

Detraya fullvear · Nov 02, 2006, 04:41 AM // 04:41

ive noticed that if you kill monsters in the area, you get better chest drops. maybe a mean way to nurf chest running without saying it does?

Carboplatin · Nov 02, 2006, 05:21 AM // 05:21

agree. opened 10. all grapes.

Hamstein · Nov 02, 2006, 05:39 AM // 05:39

I opened some Kournan Chests - All Grapes.

BUt Ancient Elonian Chests acutally give me gold ~70% of the time.

Cebe · Nov 02, 2006, 08:26 AM // 08:26

I sympathize with the OP....it is all down to pure luck with is just something I do not have! I also got more than my fair share of req. 13s...I dunno how I manage it.

Wasn't all bad though, at least some of the purple items have insignias ans runes on now making them worth that bit more...if your luck holds out enough to salvage both the rune and the insignia off it!

I feel Margonite Chests seem few and far between, I think I only found two before I finished the game...one purple and one gold. The gold, however, was a 1% off-perfect spear - so someone liked me last night!

I don't care what I get too much at the moment...I have seeker of wisdom and I'm just trying to get to the first tier of Treasure Hunter. I think it's a good idea to make these titles count for something.

Look....

Chest drops are random, they always have been, always will be. Sometimes you just get unlucky. Chest drops are often not that great anyhow.

Santus Veritas · Nov 02, 2006, 09:31 AM // 09:31

the lower the price of the key - the lower chance of gold chests...

well. thats how its been workin for me. nothin but purple and bad golds in vabbi and sulphurous wastes - realm of torment i get 9/10 good golds.

=p

Sprites · Nov 02, 2006, 10:08 AM // 10:08

2 chests , 2 crap purples

Avarre · Nov 02, 2006, 10:29 AM // 10:29

Vabbi chests have a fairly low chance from what I've gotten... Ancient Elonan are slightly better for me, and Margonite chests for me have been more gold than purple.

Yeah, I think that is. But Torment areas are hardly runnable..

Where is the best place to run for you guys?
Opening with killing mobs is too tired

Avarre · Nov 02, 2006, 11:17 AM // 11:17

Not runnable, but farmable while farming LB points, I find

Snoblind · Nov 02, 2006, 12:02 PM // 12:02

I thought the crappy chests were just my luck.... whew!
