apparently someone has king of big deal and one of titles was lvl 5 chest opening but they wouldnt show it.

meh cant work this out which sucks as i pay people aswell to let me id stuff >.< got 125 id's and 120 chests i think lol

but at say ember out of all chests opened (5 i think) i would get 1 maybe 2 (kinda uncommon) a run.

port sledge i got 1 sometimes 2 out of 3 chests but the drops sucked. the 2/3 was kinda common aswell

at drok and surrounding area bar ice golem section i got out of 5 chests 1/2 golds.

ice floe/thk area maybe 1 or 2 tops a run not sure out of how many

i really should try my old school area as i made way way more than i ever spent there.

malice, if you want to know the area i made more than i spent on keys feel free to contact me.

come on ppl post..i know most ya on log on to whine but there has to be some "normal" ppl

jackie · Jun 15, 2006, 11:32 AM // 11:32

Ratio is about 1G:2-3P so far for me. There's couple spots where I can almost always expect to have better gold drop ratio & quality but anti-chest code or similar pops up after first run.

So far 2140 chests opened, 732 gold ones.

Rau · Jun 15, 2006, 01:10 PM // 13:10

over the past months .. since factions ;p

Fay Vert · Jun 15, 2006, 02:04 PM // 14:04

Doesn't this depend on where you go for the chests?

Kijik Oni Hanryuu · Jun 15, 2006, 02:38 PM // 14:38

fay has a very strong point, canthan chests, for one, don't count towards treasure hunter but they surely do drop golds.

Bane of Worlds · Jun 15, 2006, 02:51 PM // 14:51

yup and someone on my friend's list always brags about having a ratio of 1:1
that's good but highly unlikely lol
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

milias · Jun 15, 2006, 03:51 PM // 15:51

Hmm, so can anyone confirm or deny that there's anti-farming code now for chest-farming?

eternal pho · Jun 15, 2006, 04:49 PM // 16:49

uh rank 5=pvp?

I would give you my exact numbers but I think the data is off because I've done runs with groups and if they open it first and it's grape then obviously I'm not opening it. And of course if somebody else opens it it's gold then yeah I'm opening it for sure.

I definately think there is anti-farm code with chests.

I know when doing solo chest runs the other day I got like 10 grapes in a row so I figured my luck couldn't be that bad. That was like 3 zones-10 grapes, so I decided to go do a mission. I did Raishu's Palace and then killed Shiro too. First run I did after that yielded a 15/-5 Runic Axe Req. 8 from the first chest I opened. For the next few runs the chests were about 50/50 gold/purple.

obastable · Jun 15, 2006, 05:44 PM // 17:44

I'm not an avid chest farmer, but I also haven't bought keys for anything below Cavalon and HzH since Factions came out. I also don't buy rares to ID them.

According to the Title screen I've opened 169 high end chests, and ID'd 103 rare items on my main toon.. so I suppose I have a better than 1:2 ratio. Adding up total for all characters, I actually end up with the same number (1 gold for every 1.6 chests). The Fiance has opened 618 and ID'd 268 on his main, which is slightly better than 1:3.

Unfortunately the items we get are usually crap, so this ratio business does no good for us.

1:1 is very easy if you always wait for someone else in the group to check the chest!

Count to Potato · Jun 15, 2006, 11:46 PM // 23:46

lol heres mine, for only 13 chests at once, i got 13 purples! 0:13 for me

TheRanger · Jun 15, 2006, 11:51 PM // 23:51

107% chance of getting a gold, yay!

Malice Black · Jun 16, 2006, 12:00 AM // 00:00

updated numbers

735:236

mainly run port sledge right now as its an easy 2min run with 2-3 chests per run

as for this anti-chest code thingy ive noticed that the gold drop does decrease after maybe 10 runs, still get golds but they tend to be fairly crap things like single mod caster items or golds with no dmg mods

Meh...that sucks. We're still paying the same price for the keys...
