some knowlage:
chests opened 3413
golds dropped 1328

there is no such thing as an antifarm for chests. its absolutly normal hitting 20purple drops in a row. So far out of my experience gold drops come in a burst. row purple followed by row gold.

If your wanting to chest hunt for mony making get a party of a size higher then 5, that way you limit the purple drops by only opening the golds. I got some friends who got a gold rate of 60% cause only running in partys larger then 5 members.

What not to do when chest running:
expect 15>50 req8 drops cause they drop 1 in 500 if lucky
not get pissed about the amouth of purple you make.
dont buy keys for 600each but for 480 from a town holding friend.

narcissistic_fool · Jun 17, 2006, 10:16 AM // 10:16

453 chests. 284 rares. I dont go in groups

extra bacon · Jun 17, 2006, 10:34 AM // 10:34

~60% gold atm

logan90 · Jun 17, 2006, 03:14 PM // 15:14

I did a chest run with 100 keys. 7 were gold. So my ratio is 93:7. 7% gold. Thats the only time i kept track of it. I quit running chests now because of my ultra-low chance of a gold.

you can have a guarantee 100% if you alway wait for someone else to open the chest 1st but that method IMO is crap since you're not exactly helping yourself much and just slowing down the rate that you're able to achieve the treasure hunter title
which is an extremely slow process for ppl get a gold in a chest so they u can use a key

bah who cares if you actually try to trick ppl into opening chests thats load of garbage
if you had me in the group I'd almost always will open it regardless lol

Malice Black · Jun 17, 2006, 06:21 PM // 18:21

yea i hate leaving a chest unopened

Bane of Worlds · Jun 17, 2006, 07:17 PM // 19:17

50 50 is good but that's not actually normal for anyone to get a good ratio like that unless you're opening chests that require 1.5k keys which have better gold drop rates then the 600gp ones

Maybe he only opened two chests.

Malice Black · Jun 18, 2006, 12:55 AM // 00:55

finally hit 250 ID'd golds

also seems the average gold to purple ratio is the same 1:3

bacon has 60% mainly because faction chests drop more gold items

alright buddy, last update before i head off for good too.

~58% gold

unholy guardian · Jul 21, 2006, 05:10 AM // 05:10

i would say it is about 1:3, but the golds i get are usually very bad, so really the ratio of decent stuff for me is usually 1: 20 course when i say good, i mean just not flat out junk

Yogi's Pain · Jul 21, 2006, 05:20 AM // 05:20

262 opened

173 identified

Maybe 10-15 from loot drops and chest that don't qualify. I run in groups mostly and will not open the first chest on a run. However will open any other chest that I find first.

jaymat · Jul 23, 2006, 04:42 PM // 16:42

2557 chests opened

1242 golds identified

had a 60% gold rate until i started running solo

Rahl · Jul 23, 2006, 06:13 PM // 18:13

Mines between 40%-60% rares.

Sable Phoenix · Jul 24, 2006, 03:47 AM // 03:47

Why even bother opening the chests? I've yet to get anything I can sell for more than the price of the key itself. Now whenever a key drops (I never buy them) I just sell it to the merchant. I get more gold in the long run that way.

zakaria · Jul 24, 2006, 05:49 AM // 05:49

BTW the update that was released when faction have been released that enhance the stats of gold items drop from chests has been nerfed stealthly i guess...me and friends are not getting single gold item can be used at least, always crappy stats.
thx Anerf !!
