Point I am making is why do they put the title there and penalize you if you try to get it.

Maybe you're not intended to grind it out in a day or two.

I spent over 200k on luxon keys when i used to do faction runs. Got a few superior absorbtions and one sup vigor. Other than that a flesh skinned hornbow req.9 15^50. So yea i think chests are quite a bit better still not really worth the trouble it seems though

The quality of drops was improved a month (?) ago, so the sword isn't really that unusual. Whenever I get gold items now, they are either perfect or very very close to it.

Maybe the game is telling me to make a Mesmer...

Exactly the same as me!

Have you tried doing Tombs runs? Wow. On average, I get about 8 Raven Staffs per run. Once I got a gold one! It sucked, of course. So when everyone is getting their Greens at the end, what do I get? SW33T! A raven staff (not from the Darknesses, but from the surrounding mobs--Darknesses rarely drop things for me =/).

Also, has anyone else noticed that being a Monk in a farm group sucks? I do Tombs and SF farming a lot, and whenever I monk, I get 0 greens. Anyone else experienced this?

nahpui drops non-max golds with perfect inherent mods and perfect salvageable mods for me ):

chest farm the deep!!

The first shiverpeak chest i found tonight had a req 11, gold sundering (20/20) spatha of enchanting (20%) +15% (-10 armor while attacking).

my best drop in a LONG LONG time

ColaManiac · May 23, 2006, 12:47 PM // 12:47

chest drops FTW!

realy! luxon chests drop golden every third time.
I get them so often that i can just keep perfect ones

Orange Milk · May 23, 2006, 01:14 PM // 13:14

Ya, I was working on the treasure Title as well, popped a little over 30 chests on Saturday and hit 6 gold. Mostly in Luxon explorable areas, some of them in Kurzuck.

Also I am the champ of Wayward Wands in The Deep, 6 of em on my last 8 chests there. All worthless.

byteme! · May 23, 2006, 01:47 PM // 13:47

"The Deep"

10 out of 11 chests drops were gold. All Max dmg. 3 with perfect mods. Chests drop Zodiac weapons among other rare vanity items.

Check my quality drop of the night.

Wow, a quad attribute staff. That's leet.

Former Ruling · May 23, 2006, 03:10 PM // 15:10

I HATE Jade/Amber Staves for that.

They can have any of the avialable requirements...so its rare the mods match up.

The nahpui quarter mission chests definitely suck, opened 4 chests today in one run all purple and I got a koi scepter from each of them, guess i wont open anymore canthan chests they are totally a waste of money.

chessyang · May 23, 2006, 10:17 PM // 22:17

well yesterday (Monday) i spent 20k+ on keys and doing chest runs in cathans and in the Nahpui Quarter misson (closer to the stars) and go crap. Just some sheild w/ -5 @ 20%. Then today i had to cap a skill at the ROF and after the first failed attempt of the boss not spawning i went again and brought keys. Got 3 golds out of 5 chest. to bad all the golds sucks

but ya Kurzick chest FTW

blve23 · May 23, 2006, 10:27 PM // 22:27

well, I have 610 chest opens right now and all I can tell you is that farming code DEFINATELY has a big effect on chest drops. Take right now for instance, I log on after 24 hours of not running and on 4th chest of the day I get a r8 gold fellblade, and a r10 gold fellblade from the chest right next to it.

Dart · May 23, 2006, 11:58 PM // 23:58

ya I was wondering about the kinda interesting combo thing....

blve23 · May 24, 2006, 12:14 AM // 00:14

well there are some creative builds where they come in handy

MadOnion · May 24, 2006, 12:51 AM // 00:51

Haha, those are some funny items, though I do remember anet saying they were going to do that to inspire more builds...

Anyways, most chests seem to be purple, but once doing a mission I got daggers with +30 fort.
