ToPK question - Guild Wars Forums

there's a chest at the end of each floor right? What drops can you get from the chest? do you need a key for it?

You don't get a chest at the end of each level in ToPK

There are no chests at the end of the levels, levels 2 and up have random chest but that's it.

There are Phantom Chests scattered at random; you'll need Phantom Keys or lockpicks.

More info there.

The biggest current problem with Tombs is that there is no chest aside from your phantom/locked chests. None. At all.

just crappy greens at the end

imho i wish they would just lose the greens in ToPK. they are worthless, even victos gear is impossible to move.

If you solo the entire thing you usually get around 6-9 greens. its a joke really. i say lose the greens and make the chest the same as UW. you could scale the chest drops a little due to the ease of completion of Tombs.

I did the entire run maybe 6-10 times and when you only grab maybe 2-3 ecto per run its just not worth it. not to mention ya pretty much have to use essence and cakes or apples to make sure the grasps dont drop "fear me" on ya in a mob. that makes a good run bad real fast.

eh well i only clear the first level...i've done at least 5 runs and no ecto so far...

idk i do it for the chance for ecto and cuz i feel cool soloing tombs...i remember when it first came out and it was "omg this place is crazyyyy"

crap drops though.

Yeah, it was actually possible to farm the first level of ToPK with a shadow form sin even BEFORE it was perma by using the old unnerfed shadow of haste to teleport away whenever SF expired.
It was popular for a while and was a ton of fun (a lot more difficult then the current SF farming in terms of timing), but really was never cost effective. Haven't tried it with the new SF yet. I'm sure UW is faster for ectos. BUT, Tombs has the benefit of not having a 1k enterance fee/scroll. Therefore, its a good place to practice and learn how to perma before moving on to UW or VS farms.
