Idea 1. Add a chest that spawns when you successfully vanquish an area. Items that spawn are continent/area specific skins (no inscriptions) for Tyrian skins) or rare crafting materials. You can only get the chest when you first vanquish the area (so that people wouldn't chest farm the smaller areas.

Idea 2. Add a chest that spawns at the end of the last area vanquished on each continent with a spawn of the rarer items (no crafting materials, just rare skins and minipets like the Ghostly, Gwem, etc.) in the game. That way, if everybody wanted a guaranteed drop of something rare, they'd have to put in the time spent vanquishing areas.

Of course, I am not asking for both of these reward types be implemented, just posting 2 options so the public (or hopefully) Anet chooses one or the other.

One other note, chest spawns would be specific and your party would get the yellow ping on the mini map leading you to it's location, just like you would when you complete a dungeon in EotN.

This is not a complaint thread, I have no issues with the rewards for vanquishing currently. It's just an idea to add a little something extra to it to give you a little more to look forward to.

/signed

I think it would be a nice reward for a Vanquish. And it would probably get more people to try it.

Darkobra · Dec 18, 2007, 09:52 PM // 21:52

The game needs more variety in rewards other than a title. This is a good idea. But do you intend this to be once per vanquished area? Or do you intend it to be repeatable? (You can keep vanquishing the same area for the chest.)

7 heroes would make more people vanquish

I also agree the current rewards for vanquishing arent enough.
However I dont think a one off reward is the way to do it. Thats already inplace with the vanquishing title.

The problem is once people have done it, most dont come back. To counter that in someway you need to either

Improve it.

OR

Add more shiny for those who are into that.

I think it'd be better if it were non repeatable i.e. once that character vanquish an area, it won't get the chest again, just like it doesn't get the XP and Gold after vanquishing an area more than once now. There are a few areas that can be vanquished rather quickly and it would end up a chest farm.

I can understand that. Hell, even with the chests I don't think I'd vanquish with more than one character (smaller/easier areas maybe). But if I'd vanquished all the areas before the chests were added I'd have a mind to vanqusih with another char just to see the rewards. If it were the second idea that got the most consideration then I'd ask that Anet make it so that people who had already completed the Vanquisher titles be compensated by vanquishing one area and the chest would spawn then. Hopefully that makes as much sense typed out as it does in my head.

Only once? Then definitely signed.

They'll come up with a compromise like they did for those that already completed EotN before the faction boost.

/signed for once per area.

/notsigned for chest to finish everything. Between 15-54 chests and all the drops you earn in between, I think you'll have enough rare junk floating around.

Yeah, I forgot to specify one or the other, not both.

Curse You · Dec 18, 2007, 10:18 PM // 22:18

So where exactly would this chest spawn and how would you know where it is?

Sleeper Service · Dec 18, 2007, 10:19 PM // 22:19

where would it spawn? only saying this because don't chests in dungeons always spawn in the same locations?

otherwise its a cool idea.

7Heroesforall.

Darkobra · Dec 18, 2007, 10:20 PM // 22:20

Yeah, I was thinking about where it would spawn. I was under the assumption "Right in front of you, as if by magic!" but... It's not gonna be that simple.

King's Spectre · Dec 18, 2007, 10:21 PM // 22:21

/signed That would be fun. I'd like it to be repeatable, I don't think a gold for killing 200-odd critters is going to break anything. Plus it would be nice to have a treat for helping friends vanquish something.

Eh, how about the portal you are closest to? I too was thinking wherever you made the last kill, but I guess that wouldn't work? I don't know. Kind of forgot/didn't know about that.

And what if your party is doing a split and both groups are near different portals?

Lol, ok how about this. Each point has a specific point where the chest spawns. When you get the last kill, you just get the yellow ping on your map that leads you to it like when you complete a dungeon.

That's the answer I was looking for.

Just so you know, I had already thought this out.

Exactly, which is why I stress non repeatable, just like the XP/Gold set up now.
