Curse

So I have done lots of thing in pve and i was getting bored yesterday so i started thinking what could i do.. and i remembered SF droped cristas " i dont know wat rate (if someone could tell)"

Well i did 37 kilrroy quests 15 min ea
And nothing great popped up of those small tricki chests <.<

Is it that hard to drop 1? or were they removed?

Does anyone have a proof of a recent crista dropping on SF?

They still drop from the kilroy chests just flag heroes/hench away to guarantee max drops. The last one I got was req 9 13% stance. It takes quite a bit of runs to net one however its just about the closest you can get now to a perfect req 8. The chest can drop req 8 14>50,19% while hexed,14% stance,14% while enchanted,14% -1 health regen, 14% -1 energy regen, 19<50. The best I've had out of it is req 8 13>50. It can also drop tyrian serpents and dwarven axes. I suppose its possible to even drop req 7 items although insanely rare as anywhere. I think that is where the only req 7 no dmg mod crystalline dropped but I could be wrong someone correct me if it was some where else its been so long.

When I was doing survivor on one of my rangers I did this run about 350 times with only 3 of them dropping. It really isn't common but you can get some nice items imo from this run and some decent XP.

Yes we are talking about sorrows furnace and the kilroy stonekin quest. It can be completed in about 8 minutes with the right build and running techniques.

I dont think flagging away affects chest drops. The chest contents are placed in the chest and determined by how many players enter the map. So roughly, if 8 people enter a map and a chest has 4 items per player, then 32 items are generated in that chest. If anybody maps out for whatever reason, the chest will never be completely empty. That is why i always like to go last in FoW on the chest, because in my experience, the best items seem to be on the bottom of the pile.

I got a req7 Crystalline from a minotaur in Prophet's Path back in summer '05 (still have it, too, if anybody doubts). It's unlikely that they drop any more.

I'm talking about a max dmg req 7 crystalline the name escapes me but I'm sure someone like herbalizer or racthoh would remember. It had no damage mod and I am betting that non max isn't from the minotaurs but from a keyless chest in the area at the time.

It use to give you all the drops but now it only ensures 1 drop you can test it on the kilroy run since if you leave heroes you most likely won't get a drop. If you flag them away your guaranteed at least one.

Nope, it dropped from a mino when I was farming them with my E/Mo ER build. I remember it just because it was so peculiar.

i still enjoy the occasional kilroy runs and do belive its the best place to get cry swords. ive got 2 in from about 50 runs so far they were both high req so i just sold them for around 50k, people seem to just wanna buy them doesnt matter on mods. this run use to be more popular when it dropped dwarfen axes when they were expensive and cry swords use to drop more frequently, my mate even got 2 on 1 run before!

deluxe · Sep 12, 2008, 10:31 AM // 10:31

I've gotten 3 14^50 crystalline's and about 15 crap mod crystallines from the chest, from the days I did that run daily.
I still sometimes do the run, they seem to have nerfed the amount of purples you get from each chest, but I still had a crystalline pop up a while ago.

Azora · Sep 12, 2008, 10:54 AM // 10:54

Ok im not calling u a lier but a ss of 1 dropping would be desirable..

But if wat u tell is real" wich i dont have anything to say the opposite" then ok

Sjeng · Sep 12, 2008, 12:44 PM // 12:44

I looked it up on wiki.
I don't recall there being chests that spawned during these quests... Have they always been there, or is this a recent addition??? (Last time I did these quests was back when SF was relatively new mind you).

They've always been there.

GreatBabai · Sep 12, 2008, 12:52 PM // 12:52

They always been there since adding SF.
I too got several cryses from Kilroy run long ago. Drop rates was very low, maybe 1 drop ~ 100-150 runs

N1ghtstalker · Sep 12, 2008, 02:30 PM // 14:30

i've seen some crysta's getting sold in american districts
wether they're new or not i dunno
but i think they still drop
don't think they'll just stop a weapon
that would make prices skyrocket

Kusandaa · Sep 12, 2008, 02:46 PM // 14:46

I farmed Kilroy quests for crystalline swords, dropped after 5 days of maybe 3-5 runs per day. Had crappy stats but still made decent cash on it. Been like a year and a half, if not a bit more.

Broken Souls · Sep 12, 2008, 03:27 PM // 15:27

They still drop, got one on my first run.

lame stats though 14-20, req10
