I dont know what anyone else has experienced, but when I hit the Istan chests with my low level characters, all the golds I got were flawed. I.E. 15-21 damage, 1 to 2 points from max. I only did it 4 times, 2 ea on 2 characters, but it was enough to make me want to wait till they hit 20 before visiting from now on and if that is the case, it will keep people from farming them with new accounts.

Nope, the Istani treasure are just as apt to drop "flawed" golds when you're level 20 as when you're lower level. I've opened them with characters lvl 10 thru 20 and most are just a tad off max, although a couple have been max.

By and large, though, at the least the weapons are bonus gold (sell to the merchant) that I didn't have already plus the 500+gp from each treasure. No way do I consider that idea flawed!

The treasure at the Issnur Isles is always non-max for me, but at the Methani Keys the treasure is always max. Interesting little tidbit there.

that's odd, since all of my drops of the istani treasure chests in mehtani keys were not max and all in issnur isles were ....

Offtopic: I almost s*** myself when I saw a near-perfect Cyclopian Wand (Death) drop at Methandi Keys. I am in the market now for a perfect Death Offhand to make up for my loss of Gihal.

4 Characters had full access to all chests (Ladder lock=PVE time), 2 had access up to Vortex. Found a r9 Tactics Diamond Aegis first day, r10 Command Iridesent Aegis, multiple gems (7k each approximately), and a r9 Motivation Iridescent Aegis, several sellable upgrades (20% enchantings, -5/20% shield, etc) plus all the gold.

You have to understand that I have retardedly good luck.

My 2 level 20 characters with access to the Istan chest got max stats from both those chests, maybe I had bad luck on the two low level ones.

The map that was posted made this one seem not worth the trip, but boy it was worth the trip. If you have better maps for the other locations plz post. Any other areas found or eliminated?

manitoba1073 · Dec 27, 2006, 10:51 PM // 22:51

7 chars down only 12 more to go.

unknown1 · Dec 28, 2006, 05:30 AM // 05:30

There is a very simple route to the cavern treasure =/ since i did it like 5 times i figured the quickest route, i'll post it after i get my next char there.

If you guys want.

I usually dont fight any of this stuff though lol. Its all running (much quicker) all the chests are runnable just to tell u guys.
(i've done it with my monk, war, ranger, derv, paragon and ele. still need to rush my necro, rit, assassin and mesmer up there.)

Jeff Highwind · Dec 28, 2006, 07:26 AM // 07:26

Enter from the mission area dude, it's MUCH faster. :P

Kaane · Dec 28, 2006, 07:56 AM // 07:56

Confirmed, they WILL be permanent!

Graphik Desine · Jan 03, 2007, 04:47 AM // 04:47

it seems that every map of the chest in the domain of pain was screenshot as if going through the explorable area...but does the chest show up in the mission version of the map? none of the other chests were placed in areas that are considered "mission" areas so i figured if it showed up in both, i would rather go through the mission version, as id like to save myself the headache and voice

thanks

Nope sorry only in the explorable ares

Graphik Desine · Jan 03, 2007, 08:13 AM // 08:13

blah! but thats okay i went the longer but easier/safer fighting route instead of going thru all 3 of those mobs in the middle. that was about the only thing that kept me from doing that zone in the first place--trying to run through them

got a neat shadow axe and 2 junky things though. definitely worth the trouble

Drop of Fear · Jan 20, 2007, 12:32 PM // 12:32

ehm guys....
noone noticed that since yesterday updates these chests can be opened once again?

already opened them all with 4 characters. everything works as the first time

Yeah I noticed, kinda mad I waited to open them with so many characters cause now I might not get to double dip with them
