Disappointed.

The Ancient Elonian chests in Crystal Overlook have been good for me. Found a Guardian Branch wand for my ele (req 12 though), and a Tidal staff. Okay the second one is not rare but first time I've seen it and it looks nice enough to add to my set. Plus the usual perfect mods.

Prob about 90% gold so far.

So far, only one gold - a high req zealous skull flatbow. Six grapes. But I did get a black dye and a green item drop as well as plenty of gold coins, so it's not all bad.

(Five hours of trying so far and one gold, six grapes. Seven chests found total. Wow, I'm so ...... under-whelmed .)

Not too bad. I don't bother with chests unless I get a key drop normally. I bought two Vabbian keys then did the rounds just outside Dzagonur Bastion, and overall I opened 10 chests, had 9 golds, 8 of those chests were opened with keys that dropped from monsters.

And for a change, out of those golds (all max and most with decent mods) four of them were ele weapons. Pity she's packing a load of greens already.

Got plenty of LB points as well.

Ditto. That's a useful little run. I too have mainly been salvaging mods and inscriptions, but that's been enough to break even on keys, be nice to new players with a few req 11 or 12 weapons, equip some heroes, and save up for Secret Santa.

Nothing but crappy purples out of chests here, and not a single gold drop from killing things either.

I opened about 105 chests...

Mostly in the Desolation. No real rare skins but I got some kind of axe that looked cool so I modded it up for my warrior. Also got a Crested Machete I plan to mod up as well for my warrior.

Other then that alot of inscriptions, mods, and some pretty sweet protection staffs that earlier I could only dream off.

All in all awesome event. Only downside is almost everyone trying to cash in right away in almost every town.

Reminds me of the triple green weapon where everyone and their mother was selling the Deathbringer at the cementary that Saturday.

so far, about 100~120 chests. Lost track.
There's been goddies and baddies, but the best ones I got so far has been a req12 Dead Sword and a req10 Desolation Sword.

Meanwhile, my friend got an Elemental Sword.
Damn him.

I opened mostly Vabbi chests, went from 60 to 134~ on the treasure hunter title and I used up all of my Kourna Coins and Ancient Artifacts to get keys.
  • superior & major vigor
  • 2 perfect furious spear heads, both on crenelated spears (r9 on one)
  • +30 spear grip
  • r9 purple briarwood scythe (not rare, but I really like the skin)
  • r10 azure recurve bow
  • r12&13 aureate long bows (both purple, my favorite long bow skin)
  • r10 fellblade
  • r11 icy blade axe
  • 2 aureate shields (command, 1 r9)
  • +1/20% staff wrappings (water & illusion)
  • r12 20/20 jeweled staff (serpent skin)

I also got a bunch of not-too-bad stuff for my heroes and some pretty good unlocks. I've more than made back all the money I spent on keys (assuming I bother to sell some of the stuff I won't use). My paragon, dervish, and ranger are now *very* happy.

It's the Crescent skin variety. I believe it's a Canthan skin. I personally like the skin but without an inherent mod and not being inscribable it looks to be merch food

since NF release I've had about 25 keys in storage so I took a deep breath and tried them on. Result? Utter crap. 2 gold only, an Earth scroll and a req. 11 spear that I sold to a merchant with the rest of the stuff. Ugh.

Funny thing, I was going for some chests while my boyfriend was playing Godfather (the game I got for him at bargain price). As I opened a chest and got one of the gold, I identified it (the req. 11 spear) while an npc in his game said something like "Sometimes you have it bad, and some other times you have it real bad".

I noticed outside DoA that it was hit or miss on gold chests. However I had 100% gold in DoA and I ran around 200 chests there. Considering I have farm code from hell everywhere else (almost grand master treasure hunter) I was tickled to death at all the golds in DoA. Granted the BULK were JUNK with high reqs ... they were at least GOLD and MAX damage for a change So a BIG thank you to Anet for at the very least fluffing my wisdom title.

One dagger with a +30 HP mod. A rune of superior vigor. A max req 9 scythe with no snathe and a crappy salvageable mod. Everything else went straight to the merchant or salvage kit.

I got plenty of golds from the DoA chests, now most of my characters are stuffed with req 9 DoA skins and perfect upgrades, and I'm struggling to sell anything at all. The market seems pretty saturated.

I got my fair share of gold drops... but like 90% of them were caster weapons so go figure. I especially loved all the "I Am Sorrow" inscriptions they had... =/

I opened about 20 Margonite chests, and about 5 Vabbian Chests.

Out of these I got something like 20 golds, including a run of nine golds in a row.

Most were uttely useless, but there were a handful that were nice enough.

A Superior Vigor.
A Rusty Machete, 20/20 Sundering, +5 energy, +5 armour (req 13 though, but nice enough that my Koss is now using it)
A 3/1 Vampiric Spear of some kind that I can't remember the stats of but I thought it was nice at the time.
A +30 health Divine Symbol.

The rest were mainly Flaming Wing Wands.. I seem to be a magnet for those things!

A Guildmate got reasonable +43 enchanted, -5 (19%) Gloom Shield that he sold me cheaply too.

All in all I would say I enjoyed the weekend.
