I've grinded to this 3 times and have never had a rare anything drop.

Sucks to be me!

yay found it

It's all luck with that chest. I ran that chest for like 3 hours straight each day on a few different days with my monk, and the only gold I got was a gold krytan axe with crappy mods.

*sigh..I will keep trying though, maybe I will try with my warrior next and see if he has better luck

ive opened that chest about 50 times and the best weap ive gotten was a gold shortbow 14 while enchanted...
I deserve those crysts!
Has any1 ever gotten a white crystalline from that chest, or do they only drop gold?

Big_Iron · Feb 25, 2006, 01:48 PM // 13:48

I went up yesterday and got poop....mostly to see if I could find it. I may try it again later, but the chances of getting something really good seem pretty remote. I think I'll stick with my standard Griff farming and so on. I don't make tons of gold, but it's pretty steady.

I just got a white dwarven axe, i'm happy ^^

the " Mary poppins " chest as its known by does still drop those rare skinned items, been playing this since release and had never seen a crystaline till a few weeks ago when i started doing the Mary poppins box and have had 5 Crystalines from it so far, 3 Gold, 2 Purple ( 1 of which was a req 9 +14% enchanted ) tho i must have done the chest 100+ times b4 i got 1. Again its all about chance, dont expect to get 1 just that u have a better Chance of maybe getting 1.

Dry,
I had a go at the famed chest of goodies last night with an R/W and got maybe 4/5 of the way to dreadnoughts from Rankor (thats where people leave from, right?).

Methinks the ranger is possible due to mobs breaking aggro easily when you're speed boosted and rangers are 'the' speed freaks...

I died trying to get through 1 group of tundra giants too many without resting and regen.

As a preliminary try, i used:
escape{e}
storm chaser
dodge
balanced stance
whirling defence
serpents quickness
troll unquent
(and something else) ... dont remember ... might sub in a 'shout' or something, sheilds up during balanced...

atts:
13 expertise
high WS (sup rune)
enough in tactics to get balanced to 14secs or so.

with single groups of anything, you should either just be able to hit troll and then speed boost past them (keeping them as far away as possible) and avoid the giant stomp/soj. You might get knocked down, just keep running. For example, Azures (popup group of 4) might only get you with 2 sojs before they break aggro. Similar with tundras and herders.

When there are lots of mobs i make a note of how many will be aggroed before the next clear 'rest' area. then hit troll/serpents->balanced stance and head in. i count how many SoJ's and giant stomps i suffer, when i'm confident they're all finished, hit speed boost (dodge/escape are good for avoiding tundras projectiles) and find a safe spot. Serpents before balanced is so that if i dont make it through, i have balanced stance ready to go relatively soon (also WD and troll ready to use too, in the midst of things). This sort of thing left me with ~20 health a couple of times, so its pretty flakey.

Looking forward to working on this one more. Alternative Warrior skills? What about monk secondary? (increased healing during knockdown periods). Suggestions appreciated.

In the last big update they removed them, or was it the time before?
