darktemplar32489
I am a huge armor freak and i heard from a lot of people that coffer of whisper contains a key that gets you to an area to buy diamond armor. Well I spend all my gold I have to get a Margonite Gemstone 30k, Stygian Gemstone 50k, Torment Gemstone 70k, and Titan Gemstone 100k + 80ectos. When i finally got all gemstones i was so happy. i go to rewards guy get the coffer (so excited) double clicks coffer(still excited) and gets.... A ***** BEEP BEEP ***** SCROLL and the funny thing is i play guild wars to relieve anger and this doesn't help 1 bit. I am so pissed off. i want a refund.

So.. let's see... basically, you've spent 250k and 80 ectos on an XP scroll? Good job man. ^____^

That is the biggest load of crap i have ever seen Anet... well thanks for finding it out.. my guess would be there is a 99.995322123 chance it will be an xp scroll ... but there is that 0.004677877 chance it could be something else.

Dude, stay away from bridges and other high places.

Wow, that really does suck...
Oh, and that's the STRANGEST UI layout I've ever seen! Are you VERY interested in when you'll get your next skill point?

GODh
I think the prices for gemstones will drop now... to 100g each or so :P
Arkantos
Ouch.

It's your own fault for buying stuff when the price is hideously inflated.

10 minutes of triple exp vs. 10 minutes of double, worth 800 gold instead of 400... one time use only... wow, I never thought they would make a worse reward than the 50 Jade Orbs for those quests during the Dragon Festival.

Which is funniest:
a) The fact that you believed rumors about a diamond armor
b) The fact that you paid 100k+80e for a titan gem
c) The fact that the Coffer of Whispers contains an XP scroll
d) All of the above
I'm still having a hard time deciding, but I'm definitely laughing really hard right now.
...
Sorry, I know it's bad to laugh at misfortune, but that Scroll of Lightbringer is just too damn funny. GFG Anet, GFG.

Ugh.. thats just.. wrong.
The Go Red Engine is the point of that?
Jesus Science Christ! I had heard it was a possible storage upgrade. What a complete let down.

I've heard (after spamming this horrble fact in GoA), that the Scroll is only a random item.
One person said he found a perfect "Deathknoll" sword out of 3 coffers, which he wouldn't show me because he sold it on Guru auctions.
He showed me a staff which he received, but it was Req 13 and non-max inscription, and a basic Smiting Staff skin. I'm still skeptical. (mainly because the person bought 250 ectos worth of coffers!)
But I can't believe that the EXP scroll is the only reward...

I imagine that the Coffer works like a high-end chest with a wider variety of drops.
The problem here is that, in order to make it worthwhile, there has to be a reasonable chance of some really incredible drops, or, barring that, the ability to get an item from the Coffer that you cannot get by any other means. The second solution offers its own problem though - massive price inflation.

You may want to try guru auction

ow, I feel your pain. They really shouldn't do that considering that the Coffer is so hard to get, it should be worth SOMETHING

It was already mentioned in several posts here that the coffer will work like a key-less chest, whereby you can get very bad or very good(~ala crystalline) items. Its a gamble you took, without fully realizing what you were doing.
Sorry for your misfortune, but thats how it is.

Hope the scroll was at least a 20^50? sorry, you must be gutted lol
I think there are some of us that rush into things sometimes without thinking too much about it.......?

I've heard rumors that you can also get Tormented weapons from the chest, so I guess it's not always a bad deal. I'd prefer to wait and see exactly what kind of stuff you can get from it before buying one, to prevent stuff like this from happening to me ^_^
That "diamond armor" rumor intrigues me though, even if it's probably false.

I'm still having a hard time deciding, but I'm definitely laughing really hard right now.. D is correct answer i think.... might be B tho - its so funny that some ppl can pay 100k 80e for smth they're not sure what to do with...

You might want to try selling it to a rare scroll trader you might get at least some of your money back as its one of a kind you should get 80k for it. if your lucky that is.
On the one hand I kind of laugh with pity at your misfortune but on the other I'm kinda irritated that Anet did scam you like that.

Well, paying 800k for gemstones was a risk in itself. That is basically half FoW armor. It should be obvious that there can't be anything worth even remotely that much in coffer. Even if a 15^50 crytaline were in there, it wouldn't make it a decent investment.
Same goes for everyone trying to buy vambrace of truth. I simply fail to see the point. You know what you're getting, and that thing simply isn't worth it.
I suppose I better start farming titan gemstones. I have no use for them or the coffer, but 100k + ectos always come handy.

I think it's obvious what A-net was thinking here...
Once the zone gets easily farmable, which is already seems to be for some people, the ease of getting one of each gem will go up.
PvE'ers who aren't interested in the Elite mission will buy a set of gems for Razah, and that's it. Probably spend 10K a gem or something, maybe even less once the market develops. So Razah will become available to everyone who is willing to spend a little money.
Elite farmers who end up with a lot of the gems will buy Coffers with their gems as readily as people buy chest running keys, and hope to get a decent gold item, and probably there are unique items in the Coffers that we haven't seen yet. But most players won't touch these Coffers because of the work involved in the DoA to get gemstones, so the rewards should in theory be better than standard chests.
The most hardcore and insane people will save up for their Armbrace and get Torment weapons. That's the true Elite reward for the missions.
So there you have it. As a necro PvE'er who can't do seem get anywhere of value in the DoA, I'm going to have to wait a month for people to farm gems then blow my bank box in getting a set for my Razah. Until then I'll try to get in PUGs and farm a couple gems to bring my cost down.

Err, wait, scammed?
The Coffer reward is random, he just got unlucky; there's no scam. This thread wouldn't be nearly as funny if he didn't tell us how much he overpaid for those gems.

Thank you OP, I've added you to friends list and will make a small donation to rebuilding you bank next time I see you online.

But Titan Gemstones.... god.
All the other gemstones drop fairly easily.
I think once farming groups develop, they can probalby get to 1 or 2 every hour.
But Titan Gemstones......
They hardly EVER drop, and the Foundry quest is rather insane to complete.
Both in difficulty and time it takes. On top of that, it doesn't help that Titans don't seem to drop gemstones very much. Or at all.
1 Titan Gemstone is probably worth 2 of each other gemstones combined ><
