Lord Mendes · Feb 26, 2006, 04:09 PM // 16:09

or sup communion prayers?

Chests have always had a chance to drop armors that were cut form the actual monster they reference.

I've heard of all of these kinds of armors dropping in Favor-area chests and.or HoH winning chest before.

It isn't some Pre-Factions release treat, unless they've been planning factions since Cp1's release.

well actually, according to the latest interview with Jeff Strain on his euro tour...
factions has been in development since the release of prophecies, and CH3 has been in development since november '05.

this is so they can release one every 6 months but still have a years development on each chapter.

Twisted God · Apr 08, 2006, 01:55 PM // 13:55

just out curiosity... wer is this chest... im interested in getting this

Savio · Apr 08, 2006, 02:04 PM // 14:04

Which chest? The Dreadnaught Drifts/Ice Floe chests were removed March 02. UW chests are, well, in UW. HoH is similarly in HoH.

RagetheKilla · Apr 08, 2006, 03:48 PM // 15:48

Where do you find frozen chest at?

Savio · Apr 08, 2006, 03:50 PM // 15:50

Those are the removed chests I'm talking about.

wow ressurecting my old thread...
Well as savio said, the chests were removed. Your only chance of getting this armor is out of a HoH chest.
Good luck

Can you share you build for getting to the Frozen Chest and the Strongbox?

I got a purple phantasmal armor from the first reward chest in FoW....I didn't think it was rare or anything so I just id-ed and merchanted it

OMG... the build is on the first page of the monk forums. Ubermancer's DD farming build. Not my build, it's ubermancer's.
As mentioned b4, these chests are no longer available, and this thread was bumped up after abt 1 month of inactivity (chests were removed one week after this thread).
Again, good luck and have fun all

Maybe someplace in the pits of FoW or UW, or in that new place rumoured to b in SF (in FA)?

i found one once doing one of the minor quests in sorrow's furnace where you get a chest to open after defeating the boss in that area.

Jiao Yang · Apr 08, 2006, 08:19 PM // 20:19

I never got the point of solo farming the way to the chests. I could solo run the Lost Strongbox in DD and I also found a way to make sure the Tundra Giants didnt block the path when I went up to get the frozen chest. I got loads of Jade Gorgets and Pauldrens, and some other weird stuff but it was all sent to the merchant.

Charqus · Apr 09, 2006, 09:54 AM // 09:54

Maybe a mesmer casted conjure phantasms and it came alive but its armour fell into the chest :P

Well basically you can solo farm the whole way to DD with ubermancer's build. Each run all the way to DD, killing everything (except for those damn heretics) takes about 1 hr. Nice drops, and MANY trolls and giants just waiting to get slaughtered there...
The nice thing was that you used to be able to run those last chests for some materials. Well thats all gone.

Also, I was away for the chap 2 preview weekend. I just wanted to check, were there any signs of monsters named "Phantasms" or "Phantasmals"?

Yichi · Apr 10, 2006, 09:20 AM // 09:20

There used to be a rumor going aroudn that they had like a .5% chance of slaving into ecto
