Something new for you guys to feast on.

Definately not a run for the unskilled, but theres a chest at Dreadnaughts Drift just behind a broken ballista.

I haven't had a gold from it yet, but a few purples. Main thing is though the damn chest dumps at least 10 items each time. I only checked about four times, im far too impatient to chest-farm. Half the items (or more) are blue.

One trip, rezone till inventory is full. If you know how to work it its some very easy money.

Cautionary note: If you aren't a warrior, you probably shouldn't bother. You'll either have to run Lornars or Snakes to get to it.

this might be too much to ask, dont feel like you have to but it is X-tremely helpful to take a screen shot of teh location, also if possible visit me in-game id love for u to show me exactly where this is located.

The run itself may be simple enough but the area is right in the middle of the Beakons/Droknar run, but if you can get there it seems good.

my friend and i ran it oin our warriors (im lev 16, shes lev 20) and i died about halfway through snake dance but she made it to the zone and brought me back, and then right on the other side of the zone, i died by the giants, too much damage even with droknars knights/platemail armor and a minor absorp, and not enough hitpoints. but after a couple tries we made it, she got 7 items i got 3, she got a max damage chaos axe and a max def. shield with mods, i got a max damage clean longword and a kickass second hand item and some other item. but its really a hard chest to get to, not really worth it in the long run unless you can solo it and do it quick.

but a cool chest none the less

Let me just say one thing here.... i agree with chests dropping if you kill group A.. hell they do that for FoW... but if someone with a good build goes and does this too, more the power to them! It just "seems" you are anti soloist?

I for one like to solo, its how i have fun sometimes. ESPECIALLY if ive had 3-4 fissure or uw groups in a row that have complete morons(the people that dont listen to the rest of the group) in them, which tends to happen most of the time unfortunately. I say if people want to solo stuff, and can, let them. Especially if theyve taken the time to scout the area out(dying many times mind you), perfect thier build and do so. Some people's fun thrive on this.

I agree, whenever I get into a bad group, its nice to go out and blow things up by myself for a while before trying again. And if I can find someplace that drops good loot while doing it, thats even better.

Think of it like this, do you really think you could get 60,000 Gold by just doing regular missions? Even through Ascencion? If you did, I think your not thinking straight. Beside when they put in the Rune Traders they killed the Market on the product.(Must have been an excutive decision, come on 1 superior rune of Vigor is 60K+)

1 superior vigor is NOT 60k+, it is more like 30 -35k.

You can clear snake in around 20 minutes with henchies, if you go straight for dreadnoughts.

Maybe you can - I could not with my monk.
Anyway, the henchies will take their share of the loot (at least 6-7 items out of 10) so what is the point?

Did any places get nerfed this update?

Anton H · Jul 14, 2005, 11:52 AM // 11:52

Waste half hour finding it?

DD is about the size of a dime. You get to dreadnaughts, you look for a ballista.

kirkmping · Jul 14, 2005, 07:26 PM // 19:26

i got to dreadnaughts in about 20 minutes, but three times i opened that balista chest nothing came out.. NOTHING!!!

Sure. Why don't you just say, "Hey post it here for me to see so it will get nerfed"

Retard, stop begging people for their spots. He gave you the zone, get off yer arse and go look for it.

Anyone that answers or PM's this begging moron needs to have their head examined.

Angryhob0z · Jul 15, 2005, 01:55 AM // 01:55

Conador · Jul 15, 2005, 02:25 AM // 02:25
