Okay after the new update yesterday all chests have been removed from DoA, and spawn different in RoT.....

What the hell is this !!!!! Well im working on my title to become grandmaster Tresure hunter, but that has become really really hard now with this new update.

Define "Spawn Different"...I don't run Margonite Chests myself much so I don't understand what you mean.

If you're trying to get Grandmaster Treasure Hunder surely it would be cheaper to run Ancient Elonian or Vabbian Chests. I personally have had a lot of nice things out of Vabbian Chests and you can have a very nice run round Ancient Elonian Chests if you go to the Crystal Overlook.

Ancient elonian chests and Vabbi chests are also affected. Oh well I'm sure soon enough we'll all work out the new pattern they have

I thought chest spawn points are random?

They have general fixed points that are randomly selected to spawn a number of chests.

The reason is that u find nice stuff here yesterday I found a Storm bow, but sure ancient and vabbi chest drop nice things too, but have found most of my good stuff in DoA and RoT and that's how I afford the keys....

Problem in the other places are the purple drop rate

We completed Revenhart Gloom last night, and observed the same issue. There wasn't a single chest in the whole instance.

kumarshah · Feb 15, 2007, 02:35 PM // 14:35

I was told DoA chests from Stygian Viel have been removed.

That sucks, because I would have this one guy run me 20-30 keys every couple of days that would make me good profit (Gloom shields and all).

I haven't checked my Vabbi run yet in Mirror of Lyssa.

Warmaster Patton · Feb 15, 2007, 03:30 PM // 15:30

So what totally happened? DOA, Vabbi, and Elonian chests just don't spawn? That sucks then, bye bye good profit.

From the several chest-less runs I had earlier today, I can confirm they have been removed. There was one chest set out of reach (on one of the gated paths), which I assume is accessible if you can clear enough spawning mobs. I did not notice any change in mob pathing, but they do seem harder to kill. Wish I had their speed buffs ^^

So whats RoT?

I tried running the Stygian chest run 10 times on two different characters today and didn't find a single one

This was around 8 am est, maybe this will be fixed with an update?

Midnight Harmony · Feb 15, 2007, 05:26 PM // 17:26

Well that is a kick in the rear, now the chances of me getting a good chest drop are even slimmer.

Divinus Stella · Feb 15, 2007, 05:33 PM // 17:33

They also removed a special margonite chest from domain of fear that only spawned with a certain quest.

Ruby Lightheart · Feb 15, 2007, 07:02 PM // 19:02

hmm could it possibly be just a giltch caused by the last update? Ive heard others suggest its an attempt to crack down on gold farmers...but surely that cant be right...cause that would be Anet punishing the masses for the actions of a few? Have people gone to the ncsoft website and reported the possible bug?

Any chance we can get a statement from Gaile on this ?

Sir Skullcrasher · Feb 15, 2007, 07:14 PM // 19:14

UW affected by this? I did 3 runs last night and only see 1 chest out of it.

It may be a bug, as I can't see ANet nerfing their little gold sinks (chests). Demonic Keys cost 1.5k, and you're chances of getting an exceptional item from these chests is pretty slim. I don't "chest run" per se. I trap the Stygian mobs, and chests are just an added bonus. That said, of the many chests I've opened in DoA, only one had anything worth keeping. The rest was merchant fodder. Removing the chests will save me a considerable amount gold since I won't be wasting it on useless keys. I'd like to personally thank ANet for forcing me to save my gold

Dougal Kronik · Feb 15, 2007, 07:22 PM // 19:22

That's just too bad.

Looks like you'll have to do the hard way and play through each area.

unienaule · Feb 15, 2007, 07:40 PM // 19:40

Dougal, learn to read. If there are NO CHESTS in an area, then guess what, you don't get any if you kill the mobs either! I hate it when people bash someone without understanding what is being talked about.
