After AB weekend my guildies and I went to try our luck with Z chest.
Between 4 of us we had roughly 80 keys.
Lots of consumbles.
r9 Storm bow
r13 magma shield
few tomes.
One ellite.
Rest just random junk golds.

Still nothing so good starsky too bad maybe last run and you get everlasting beetle tonic and sell it and buy zkeys!

Starsky-sama · Feb 25, 2008, 07:48 PM // 19:48

yup. ive already got some good (and better) stuff before I saved up the keys. so it's all good.

My theory is Ive gotten better items from doing smaller key runs than bigger than 20 key runs...prob just me/my characs. /endtheory

the thing I really want to see someone post is something other than an everlasting beetle juice tonic...now that would be awesome.

(1 key run)
r10 Celestial Daggs inscrib

/woot. lol

FrAnt1c² · Feb 25, 2008, 09:07 PM // 21:07

An "Eternal Crystaline Axe" would be nice

ShadowsRequiem · Feb 25, 2008, 11:02 PM // 23:02

Course it didnt have those mods

Aera · Feb 26, 2008, 12:31 AM // 00:31

Daaaaaahhhhhhh my first real crap run.

26 keys

14 Creme brulee
9 Firewater
1 Normal Necro Tome
1 Lockpick
1 Beetlejuice

Ye...should've spent those rewardpoints on armour

Starsky-sama · Feb 26, 2008, 03:04 AM // 03:04

(40+ key run)

r10 colossal scimitar inscrib
r13 hornbow (mursaat type) inscrib

(30 key run)

r13 dwarven inscrib
r10 dragons breath wand inscrib
r11 com tribal shield (metal skin) inscrib w/ +30hp

**Well it's official (for my characters that is), I get better drops if I dont do more than 10 keys at a time...but imo it's still random really.
**I will post my 1 digit key runs after the big amount ones.(you will see the difference lol)

/to be continued...

Starsky-sama · Feb 28, 2008, 03:53 AM // 03:53

Well, I think these are the final keys from the 800+keys I collected

just a starter sample of small keys runs ive done (each snippet is a 2-6key run)

nothing big, but just notables (again these are separately dropped items from separate runs)

r9 bramble hornbow inscrib
r9 sai daggs inscrib
r10 stormbow inscrib
r9 katana inscrib w/ 20/20sunder
r11 grinning dragon axe inscrib (didnt think id see this here)
r11 soulreap shadow staff inscrib
suntouched shield inscrib w/ +30hp
r9 e-stor plat staff inscrib
r10 gothic dual axe inscrib

**main difference here vs the big key runs, is at least each run if there was something good enough, the run paid for itself and more.

**with my bigger runs, it was close or not as likely.

**pretty much confirms for my characters:

-1st time I started doing Z chests (before the massive key amount I collected), Ive gotten multiple stygian reavers, shinobis, runic swords, a chaos axe, which were from small amount key runs no bigger than 6 keys at a time.

-then this 30-50 key runs, did get good/new skins that came out the 1st time for me, but were not as rare/hard to get in the chest.(imo)

-and now started doing small key runs again, comparably better ratio, if you're going by money-wise. (good thing im not lol)

**id definitely like to see someone post the opposite of my theory, that they get better drops from bigger key runs than smaller key runs.(on a regular basis)

Happy to say I'm still alive/kicking for the hunt though, still got time/plat/items to sell before my planned retirement, started an 80+ key stack atm, so we'll see what happens to those when I hit 100. lol
