Anyone having triple fun? - Guild Wars Forums

Not a bean so far - no keys and can't find any chests

Anyone had any better luck?

FalconDance · Dec 15, 2006, 11:27 PM // 23:27

Not I. Went bopping out into the Realm of Torment where I'd seen lots of Margonite chests earlier but nary a one was to be found. Ruptured Heart map, same thing. So retreated to Vabbi wherein I saw two chests (only had one key, of course) and a grape high req fire wand fell out.

In over an hour of play only two chests, no keys fallen. Hmmmmmm. Maybe I'll go out later and work a little on my cartographer title although there isn't a lot left to it.......

No keys - but three chests, three golds - Mirror of Lyss

fatmouse · Dec 15, 2006, 11:46 PM // 23:46

Yes we got about 6 demonic keys finishing gloom, the only chest was the one at the end though...

garethporlest18 · Dec 15, 2006, 11:51 PM // 23:51

I'm 28/46 rares/chests in Mirror of Lyss, my last run was a 5 gold one.

GODh · Dec 16, 2006, 12:02 AM // 00:02

no dropped keys (yet?)... 1 gold out of 9 opened chests (domain of secrets)

reetkever · Dec 16, 2006, 12:26 AM // 00:26

I'm getting loads of golds now, I opened 30 chests now, and about 20 of them were gold. No keys dropped, though. But I dont kill monsters, either, so...

Dave83 · Dec 16, 2006, 12:30 AM // 00:30

I've been playing alot the past two days and had about two golds, counted 13 purples in a row earlier. No exaggeration.

*Darcy* · Dec 16, 2006, 12:34 AM // 00:34

2nd run (keep getting interrupted) - 1 key/1 gold/1 purple - Mirror of Lyss
3rd run - 0 key/2 gold/1 purple - Mirror of Lyss

Sir Skullcrasher · Dec 16, 2006, 12:47 AM // 00:47

I hope i can get some decent weapons, haven't done chests run in a while now!

Venus was her name · Dec 16, 2006, 12:51 AM // 00:51

well....myself and a guildy did a farm run through our secret farming place in the desolation.

then went on a chest run in about 3 areas in the desolation.

about 20 chests and 10 rares...

no key drops

im pretty sure in the area we farm the "weekend" thing isn't in effect. becuase as soon as we zoned the the area nextdoor we had almost 100% gold chest drops.

maybe bad luck but i doubt it

Illuminus · Dec 16, 2006, 12:53 AM // 00:53

No luck with keys.. but chests seem to be fine. My heroes are loving their new items

Senator Tom · Dec 16, 2006, 12:56 AM // 00:56

~30 chests all gold in doa for me

??Ripskin · Dec 16, 2006, 12:59 AM // 00:59

I was farming outside of rihlon refuge and got 3/4 golds out of a kournan chest. (20% enchanting pommel and 20/20 axe thing) WEWT

Spike · Dec 16, 2006, 01:00 AM // 01:00

1st 8 chests 7 gold then an update next 8 chests 7 purple. I wonder what happend in that update. Now theres another which will probley lower the drop rate even more. Also 6 of these golds are been utter crap. ie req 13 and +14% while hexed. did get 2 15^50 mods but thats about it.

drupal · Dec 16, 2006, 01:00 AM // 01:00

I did a few runs in Mirror of Lyss and much golds

GreatLich · Dec 16, 2006, 04:29 AM // 04:29

score so far: 14golds 1 purple, not a single key.
A sup vig, which is nice

My Green Storage · Dec 16, 2006, 04:43 AM // 04:43

Chest running in Mirror of Lyss .. started good. Salvaged jewel and ruby daggers for their rare material counterpart (1ru 1sa) .. then level'd out for a few runs ..

What comes out of a vabbi chest?
... Req 9 Command Diamond Aegis ...

I'm not worrying about key drops via monsters.

Did check out the area where Exuro spawns. Saw maybe 1 chest. Not worth the time.

strcpy · Dec 16, 2006, 07:38 AM // 07:38

10 vabbi key purchased, 7 golds - I would say that wasn't bad.

However, I don't need them and hate selling in in the trade channels so I blew the rest of my gold the last piece of vabbian armor I want instead of getting a title I will not display.

I'll probably do another 10 or so chests before it is over with anyway, I can always replace a green with a gold on my heroes.

Muk Utep · Dec 16, 2006, 11:43 AM // 11:43

Seems like there is indeed a better chance to get golds from chests. As for key drops, either it doesn't work, or the default chance is so low that multiplying it by 3 has no visible effect. I find a key maybe once a week, so pulling numbers out of my rear, let's say any enemy has a 0.02% chance to drop a key. Multiplying that by 3 is 0.06% which is really not a difference you'd notice during one "farming session" (assuming that you don't farm for 12 hours straight).
