I think the raptor cave chest has a good drop rate of saurians... I've gotten 2 in a row before, but I rarely open it when one spawns in the cave.

Now have people go open it dozens of time through regular raptor farming and see if saurian scythes drop any differently. My guess is that a saurian scythe would have dropped from the chest whether you zoned out from town or not. Just that in that instance it was in the chest.

I really would doubt that just by going through a different zone it would manage to effect your chest results.

No one is arguing that you can get Saurian Scythes from the chest. I open the chest when it appears every time I raptor farm and have gotten 5 already.

The point everybody is trying to make is
a) there is no "proof" that this forces a chest to always be there
b) this isn't faster then any other convential chest farm in the Asuran lands would be, like from rata sum to the cave
c) it doesn't "improve" the odds of a saurian scythe from dropping. Even if it did, they aren't worth that much anyway to specifically farm for them.
d) anybody who wants to chest run already has faster routes

So... what's the point of this "farm?" There is no reason to insult people Devilmen. The point is all those items you are showing off in the picture are... crud. A req 13 saurian scythe and a bunch of primative staves???? A half hour of raptor farming or vaetar farming will get you FAR more gold items and money. A half hour of witman's folly running will open more chests. There is no benefit to doing this.

Guys. Those runs are good, but when u open chest and pick loot, you should die, and it rezz near shrine for Alcazia, its much more faster with dying unless ur survivor

Well, i spent 10 lockpicks - 1 Retrain so 11x Chest in cave = no Saurians..do this still works?

yeah, why not?

SpiritBond · Mar 21, 2009, 12:02 PM // 12:02

Because i saw screens guys got 2-4 saurians, i got none in 17 lpicks now

Spiritz · Mar 21, 2009, 01:07 PM // 13:07

the chests in eotn as stated on wiki wont always spawn or in same place , ive done raptors where ive had a chest for 4 runs and no chests for 10 , sometimes ive found the chest outside the cave at other exit.A guildie who also does raptors had no chests for about 30 runs and he swore i was lucky untill he got 4 chests in a row and 2 had req9 scythes and other 2 had elite tomes.
In comparison the punchout quest 3/4 of my runs never have a single chest then i may get a run with 1 chest and then zero for ages.
Ive had more scythes from asterious/myish and taameh than i have from raptors chest and ive done 3x more raptors than boss runs.
Btw just because the screens showed 2-4 saurains doesnt mean much (please read on before commenting guys/girls ) as last weekend i was boss farming and when i did finish i had 6 green scythes - but was after maybe 30 rezone runs so the screenshot may represent an hrs farming rather than 1 or 2 runs.

They're like 5k tops, why you want them? Im merching high req ones already.

EDIT: and for all we know you dropped that scythe near the chest, there is no text saying you picked it up.

You are full of poo poo. When you drop something it doesn't say "Assigned to XXX" Please look better before flaming like a 12 year old who has nothing better to do.

I've never specifically chest run here but i do always open the chest while raptor farming if only for the chest and wisdom title. Way too many useless primitive staffs for me lol. Have had a couple of saurian scythes though, i don't care how much they're worth, ones gone on my perma sin the other on my IW Mes, they look pretty damned cool

Avatar Exico · Apr 07, 2009, 11:33 PM // 23:33

wonder if this method can work, anywhere? be awsome than ppl can farm for rare skins.

Olof · Apr 08, 2009, 07:31 PM // 19:31

I have been running this method every time I farm the raptors since I saw the post (which is only part time during event drop weekends). What is does is hugely increase the chance of a chest being in or near the cave. So far I have had 3 or 4 r9's and a couple of higher req's out of a lot of chests. You can still sell the scythes for around 15k but I'm not sure its a money spinning method due to the time taken. However it does at least help with chest opening title.
