i went there today with the help of a friend. and i opened both lost strongbox and frozen chest. but the two free chests were nerfed really bad. neither of us got a single gold, not even a purple. it's true however, there are a lot of shiverpeak chests in dreadnought's drift. but i think the lost strongbox and frozen chest are pointless because they've been nerfed.

Also has anyone found any white crystallines? I've never seen/heard of a white one before, but it seems like this would be the place to get one

He runs with our guild leader, the guild leader stands at the zone until the runner gets all the items and screams "OMG ZONE QUICK, BEFORE I DIE!!!!".
Then they repeat w/o any killing. I just kill myself at the frozen chest and repeat even with 60 dp i can still do it many times.

I got jade gorgets, a rare phantasmail armor

, and jade paludrons. Also some other lame ass weapons including ritualist stuffs.

Then.. we come back and begin bitching and complaining about it being nerfed asking and posting to stop the nerfing when in fact it's all thanks to you for telling everyone else about it, most of us already know the places.. but unlike noobs we dont open our big mouth and tell every single person we see just so we feel superior or get praise for it.. it really is a shame.

You mean most of the "greedy" people already know of those places? And how many of those places did YOU know about before someone TOLD YOU? You'll probably lie about it an say you discovered it on your own, but, I highly doubt it by your attitude.

This isn't how things get "nerfed" in the game, this is how they get "fixed and balanced" for "everyone", not just the greedy and selfish who don't want anyone else to get or know about what they got. The "egocentric" types of people.

So, I'm glad the OP told all, glad everyone else who reads this thread has those opportunities now. Don't let these egocentrics bother you, if you find other good spots tell everyone those as well. (smile)

TY very much for giving away one of the remaining places that werent heavily known about and nerfed too hard yet. Sadly the chests arent what they used to be and this to owill soon be nerfed.

stoelen · Feb 01, 2006, 03:49 PM // 15:49

my friend is doing this for 2 weeks now and guess what he find> 5 crystaline>
1 purple req 13 1 gold req11 1 gold req8 1 purple req 10 1 purple req11

i can do this with my warrior to btw.. very easy

ashed · Feb 01, 2006, 04:12 PM // 16:12

I tried this, granted it was only for a few runs, and I got a few purples from the weapons chest, a gold and a few purples from the armor chest. I can see the potential for good drops if you time it at the right parts of the day. As it was said earlier, they dont insta-nerf these, its just the amount of traffic that is going through these at the time. If you have 100 people opening these chests at the high traffic time, then your chances of getting a gold crystalline worth 500000000000000 gold is very slim.

And to all of you that are crying over ubermancer telling of this spot, he already explained that it was supposedly nerfed compared to what it used to be, he is probably noticing that the drops are getting worse so he figures now is the time to spread the news. Even if thats not the case, it has already been said that the drops are getting worse...so its not like hes really ruining anything for anyone.

Most of the time, people start talking about these areas after they have already milked it for what its worth, and then they can tell everyone and let people pickup the leftovers before it gets too popular (hence the "more traffic less drops" idea).

Its always the same thing, and soon Factions will be here and we will have loads of new areas with wonderful items and xp and whatever else your heart desires.

Okay, so I know the basics of the 55 monk. 55hp+enchants=very little damage. But I'm a little shaky about this dieing then weapon switching so you dont have 1 health thing. Could somebody please explain that?

Ajantis · Feb 05, 2006, 10:50 AM // 10:50

If you die as a I-monk with 55 hp you have a negative hp (translates into 1 hp).

1 hit and you're dead, so, switch to a -20 hp focus and you have 13 (or 17? can't remember) hp, which means they hit you for 1 point of damage, a lot safer then 55 hp cause you won't even see your hp jump, but you lose dp very fast

yeah i used to do 13 monk griffon farming back in the day

Sk8tborderx · Feb 05, 2006, 11:52 AM // 11:52

I do this with my W/MO and make 15-20k an hour. I dont worry about the shiverpeak chests because they have mostly been purple for me. Salvage anything that is white. Wait until you inventory is full of nothing but colored items. Salvage anything that is highly salvagable. Takes about an hour.

Defendpeace Necros · Feb 06, 2006, 10:28 PM // 22:28

ok, is it faster with a standard 55 monk, or with a wammo with running setup, or do u have to go with farming setup with warrior. ?

ok heres wut i carry
2 sets of armor

1 with all minor runes or [non upgraded]
1 -50hp offhand // ofcourse ^_^
1 -20hp offhand
1 normal weapon
1 +30hp or anything which is +10hp weapon

if i die it gets my health to 1hp so if i addon -20hp offhand i get 13hp
if i die again i switch my armor n try to get my hp btween 10-19

u gotta play with it ^_^
