Chest Drops Biased Per Class? - Page 2 - Guild Wars Forums

**cosyfiep** · Nov 09, 2006, 12:51 AM // 00:51

most of the time stuff from chests just suck big time......I usually get some grim cesta requiring soul reaping,shields or daggers (yep, no assassin or warrior on my account).....never have I gotten a descent caster item from a chest--in 14 months of playing! (and I have all of the caster professions), best thing I ever got out of a chest was a non max gold bow from the deep I believe, has nice mods and added others to it...still not max, but my mes/r loves it to death.
Chests for me are for the sole purposes of merching. I dont buy keys either thats just a waste of money.

It's odd yet but this might be due to "encourage" trading with other people or to use that storage to transfer to another character.
My warrior gets caster items 9 out of 10 times, rit gets daggers and axes most of the time, derv gets daggers and caster items half the time, paragon has gotten far too many daggers(omg I don't even play that class in pve anymore yet I get them most of the time...), etc...I would list more but I'm feeling lazy to look at my data...okay i'll add that the sin gets rit items a fair amount of time...

All drops that allow you to make alot of money like ectos, shards, Chest weapons and even in SF have all been nurfed slightly. Although you can still get the green weapons but the chance has been considerably lowered

Its all about luck really.
i got 7 shards last night in 3 FoW runs and 4 golds from chests..not a bad night.

but i think ecto is alot harder to get in Tombs now than it used to be.
dont see many in UW either

ahh well everyone will adapt
but an answer to your question i dont think the chests give out different type of drops to different classes etc its all random

Im must've been pretty lucky with chest lately...
Last 3 were golds and all had one or two perfect stats in one way.
+30 hale staff head, +30 Axe grip and 15^50 daggers.
Me being a necro, using greens have not cared bout golds tbh.
If i get a nice one for my warrior i'm always happy though

It's weird this thread was started as I'd been thinking the same thing. My experience, however, was completely opposite from yours. Of course I wouldn't expect many monk drops from chests, but I get overloaded with bows and warrior weapons! Luckily I have a ranger and a warrior, so they just get transferred over.

But I'm sure the drops are randomized, perhaps I just hit the chests up after they've dropped their 57th caster weapon.
