Possible.

I was working on the quest to get to the Unwaking Water mission and 4 out of 5 chests were gold.

However 5 out of 5 were crap.

It seems Guin has spent a large amount of time as an Me/A. Specializing in the skills Illusion of Gold and Siphon Luck. 3 purple Amber Wands in 1 run ftw...

Hmm, I'm thinking you did a solo chest run. Chances are much better when you do it as a group and take turns opening chests.

I just took two weeks off from GW for personal/family reasons. Anywyas last night I log in and there's a group forming for Ring of Fire Mish/Bonus which I needed on my monk, so I join up and off we go.

1st Chest for me popped a req 8 rare fellblade-go figure. It ended up being 15% stance though...

Dumb luck? I think not...and I wouldn't be surprised if KOABD affected your drops.

Guinevere Ac · Aug 12, 2006, 04:58 PM // 16:58

ok. there's a limit when i dont believe it's luck anymore. there's some boost in my drops since i got big deal, for sure

Da Cebuano · Aug 12, 2006, 05:08 PM // 17:08

Damn man, I was getting really great skins yesterday.. out of all the keys though(about close to 20 chest) I only got 1 thing worth mentioning, a 15>50 req 8 dragon schythe, which the market has drastically dropped for. Still I got all the great skins, just the stuff I ID were all crap, and yeah I ID everything, I don't sell un'ids. Oh well, maybe some luck will turn out, who knows.

Evilsod · Aug 12, 2006, 05:21 PM // 17:21

I joined in a run with Guin n Johnny yesterday... ended up with 4 Gothic Swords, only 1 worth mentioning, req8 15^50. But even that doesn't compare with this.

By the end of this weekend event it seems Guin will have made about 2-3million.

Thallandor · Aug 12, 2006, 05:43 PM // 17:43

If this was true i can only congradulate those that got their KOABD titles for getting their millions during this weekend and stop buying keys for chest while looking for something else to play perhaps.

moko · Aug 12, 2006, 08:45 PM // 20:45

finally came around to checking the thread..quite impressive. would be interesting if any other KOABDs could verify their 'results'. :P

and i would have stayed on a few more chestruns with you to see for myself how great those chests really are (compared to my drops :P), but my amazing loading time of 2-3 minutes killed me there. :d

i noticed better drops in general, for me and for allies, some had really nice drops, but not all for one single person. :P kinda freaky >.>

nice build btw :P lol haha :P

(need to stop using :P at some point..) :P

its all well and good posting pics of unid..but lets see the hard proof of decent inherent mods..im not easily impressed and you are yet to impress me

increased golds drops mean shit if the inherant mod sucks

Guardian of the Light · Aug 13, 2006, 05:22 AM // 05:22

Geez now everyone will be drinking ale, Exploring Cantha/tryia and trying to get masters and bonus in order to get KOABD now.

i'm sorry man if i'm not one the players then when picks up a rare drops cannot resist the thrill to insta-click and idenfity it. identify a r8-9 rare skinned can cost me tens of k in lost revenues i have to test them deeply. u'll see my high end trade with all the stuff at the end of this weekend

sky the unstopable · Aug 13, 2006, 07:05 AM // 07:05

for the record i do not have a title. when titles first came out i expected that there would be rewards for maxing out titles besides public recignition. i thought wisdom would eliminate the need for iden kits or the chest one would take away for keys. i think it would be cool because for most getting the max treasure hunter title you would spend 6 million buying keys from traders. might be pretty niffty.

ps guardian your not in RAT any more.

atm i can confirm there's no such id kit.

logan90 · Aug 13, 2006, 10:26 AM // 10:26

What if it isnt KoaBD, and instead its the Wisdom title doing it? ID 10,000 items so you get better drops to id? Unless its just plain luck.

So you are one of those UNID "scammers" that test everything and sell the crap UNID?

EtherealByte · Aug 13, 2006, 03:40 PM // 15:40

No! you would have to be severely mentally handicapped to fall for that. Anyone (including some newbies in my guild i taught) can test unid's. In addition, caster weapons are a lot harder to test and dont sell for that much unid'ed. The point is, someone requiring wisdom title may want to buy it and so it would be more profitable to sell it for 1k~ then to merchant those High Req amber wands.

Divinus Stella · Aug 13, 2006, 03:51 PM // 15:51

I highly doubt a title has anything to do with your drops, think its more luck and wishful thinking.

The Herbalizer · Aug 14, 2006, 12:33 AM // 00:33

Well I was planning on dropping 500k on keys for the weekend event but did a few runs and thought it wasnt worth my time + I went away all day sunday and most of saturday.

4 golds dropped out of the first 5 chests that opened. I did a few more and the majority were golds. I ided them and they all sucked bar a 15-10al r13 amber longbow. Personally I think unless you can prove you had whatever uber items you say you got I am scepticle. I dont know you or what your about but some could say this was just an attempt to make out how uber you are with your KOABD title. I dont know what to think but screenshots are always nice to back-up statements...

I also dont think the KOABD title has anything to do with getting good drops. Noone has seen the quality of the drops so nothing can be proven/falsified.

I strongly object to people selling tested items. To state here very very clearly how you did extensive tests on each item and plan on selling them on the high end is disgusting. You know and have stated the items for sale are not worth iding / are crap and are willing to "scam" someone who thinks maybe they havnt been tested / you havnt tested the caster items properly. If you state they have been tested or are for the id title only then I guess that is ok. But to sell items unided and not indicate you have tested them when stating here you have is very unethical. GG using GuildWarsGuru to cheat people by selling as you stated tested items.

Dzan · Aug 14, 2006, 01:04 AM // 01:04

From a math standpoint, if you were in a group of, say, 5 chest runners you and you brought 50 keys this weekend, chances are you'd open about 40+ gold chests.

40 Gold chests is more than enough to produce the 10 or so decent items you show on page one, give or take.
