Haven't seen this posted yet.

I think the main farming area will be Nahpui Quarter.

This looks fun =/

Should start selling my rares to people who want the ID title before the update =D

Their event team is sure busy.

I love how they clarified "twice as likely." Sorry, no double Celestial items for you.

What's the current ratio for Purple:Gold anyways? I thought it was about 3:2...so will it now be 2:3?

Also, what is a "Canthan chest?" Is it any chest in Cantha, or only chests in Kaieng City?

Anyways, I don't think I can help newbies this time. heh.

I'll care once I have the ability to trade Commodations for keys.

And no.Not for Forbidden Keys.Oh well..I hope I can get some good Broadsword/Grinning Dragon Axe/Bludgeoner.

I used to see 2 or 3 gold items per run... it better but 4 or 6 per run!

Next will be Kurzick/Luxon keys then Forbidden Keys. How about Obsidian/Phantom keys?

I think this is ANets attempt to drive the prices down.

No, I think this is Anet's way to make up for all those players who left Canta and went straight for Tyria after Shing Jea island :P
They need to come back, because they are unhappy customers, and will most likely not buy chapter three.

Or its to make up for the fact that id say tens of thousands of noobs were slaughtered in the Deep/Urgoz.

Also with this news they added RSS feeds to the American website for the news and updates

rofl

so instead theyll get slaughtered in the sewers XD

Too bad they are canthan chests. Those don't count towards the title and more often than not give just off perfect dmg. I think I'll sit this one out.

Going with the most obvious answer of the ones that say "Canthan Chest" on them?

This is a perfect set-up to get people next into the Luxon/Kurzick areas. Get the Tyrians into the city, it's the next logical step!

Bribed Advancement FTW!

I agree. Nahpui Quarter will likely be busy for chest running, but other than that, I don't really see how this "event" is truly anything special.

The Elite Mission event - now that was special, IMO, even without (at least for the first day or so) the double rare drops that were advertised.

Raisu palace maybe?

Meh Canthan chests. Nice that there actually doing events for the pve side..but Canthan chests? Might as well be Shing Jea Island chests.

Thats doesnt mean im not gonna buy a ton of keys and see what I get.

What happened to Chapter 1

This should be all chests in Cantha (ie. Factions) and I'll be surprised if it isn't but once again they have been ambiguous. Double rares only from chests called Canthan is pretty useless. What's next? double Green drops on Shing Jea?

Raisu has Forbidden Keys, not Canthan, so if it's only the true Canthan Chests, it's really not worth it...
