weapons in this game that drop for me and from chests are usually crap. anet needs to get thier stuff modded correctly or if its a bug to fix it because i dont enjoy spending 10k on keys to get purples or req 13 golds with crap mods or multi profession mods for example:
Insightful Plagueborn Staff of Restoration Magic
Energy +12 (Chaos Dmg 11-22)
req 13 blood
Halves casting time of water magic spells 9%
Restoration Magic +1 19%
Energy +5
or a 14^50 max dmg shadow blade thats req 13
if its not 15^50 max, under req 11 I dont want it.

We've got a hammer, a sword, two shields, a staff, daggers...
we find a new axe and wand/offhand we'll have all weapon types covered...

It's a darn shame really, i was hoping for the eternal sword (held by the zaishen warriors and the old ghostly) to drop in UW from this update, or maybe the metallic form seen in the weapon rack at ascalon city...and possibly an appearance of that curvy sword prospected to be the sephis sword in this update...maybe another day...give us the eternal sword anet!!!!

Decent wands/offhands just don't seem to ever drop - and the skins aren't that great for them really. No wonder all the monks use totem axes, +5 energy katanas or other assorted warrior items :P |

That's it without dye, and there's the requirement too.

That Gloom Shield sure looks cool! Where did you find it? UW?
Doom Runehammer
As the level of the monster around the chest increases does the "level" of the drop increase? And if that has any bearing where is the best place to chest run/farm for Jade Swords? Sorry if this is in the wrong place, if it is, can anyone point me to where it should go?

Didn't the scribe say something about evil individuals? I'd start my trying to farm Milodestus the Wrangler, the new(ish) boss that they introduced.

Did a chest run earlier today, and got nothing good. Tried my luck again this evening, and got 2 jade swords and an Oni Blade. IMO, pretty good reqs too. I'm almost thinking about keeping one. That jade sword is very good looking.

spent around 20 keys today..got nothing but Jade Wands

I leave from the Leviathan Pits, heading towards Gyala Hatchery. Takes me about an hour to clean the place, with henchmen. I also take short breaks, chat, check other sites, etc. Heck, I'm not in any hurry. 6 keys the first run, 5 keys the second. Only 3 good items out of that.

350... today!? Double WTF?
OK, tips on how to open that many chests in one day? I mean, I do chest runs about 2 an hour. Each run I open around 5 chests, that's 10 per hour. I get bored after an hour and a half. How the? What the? Huh!? What am I missing to do quick chest runs*?
*Of course for me, it's not really runs, but more or less fight everything along the way, but still. I actually get gold drops on a regular basis from mobs (not to mention supposedly the Outcasts can drop a jade sword)
majoho
OMG 350
That's insane, I never even opened that many high end chests at all.

Sorry but I don't buy that.

Anet used us to get designs (isnt it obvious?) and i think they will continue going through the entries and using designs down the line, further into game because theres such a rich resource there.
And they dont have to give us a thing, they arent obligated to. Im optimistic, but thats just an unrealistic expectation for them to give you the item you designed.
Best thing we can do, as a community, is hunt for these items and give them to the creators.

the fell blade is not only over used, it looks dumb when you use it. Only one side is sharp, but you still swing it like normal. Have fun slapping the enemy with the dull half of your fell blade, i'd much rather stab them with an undersized jade sword.

average chest rate for this jade sword is about 60-65 per hour. 80 if i truly truly rush but is stressfull. the point is that is a realy rare drop. price will remain high for a long time i presume.

First of all; I think I've only ever teamed with maybe two other people that used a fellblade ever. Not that popular at all. Second of all, I haven't even used my fellblade in months as I only use it when I wear my 15k platemail. I use my Crenellated sword when I wear my 15k Kurzick...... have a "WITTY" comment for that one?

Any pointers, any at all... seriously, you don't need to give me locations or builds or anything. I would just like a vague hint or two. Something to get me on the right path. Your 80 per hour vs. my 10 is GODLY.

still farming so it's no good to me to reveal exactly the location to anyone here.
Z'HA'DUM
i got a question: does it influence the drop from the chests if you have henchmen with you? do you get better drops going without them?
