I was doing HM mission with a PuG. I luckily got a lockpick drop from a monster so I wanted to open a locked chest. The chest dropped me 2 ELITE RANGER TOME!! TWO! I mean: how can a locked chest possibly drop 2 items. This must be a bug or something. What do u guys think

Happened to me, and a few of my friends a few times. I believe its caused when the same Elite Tome is due to drop for 2 seperate people on the map, yet whomever opens it first gets both. I believe this since when i was vanquishing with a friend, she opened a chest, got 2 elite rit tomes, then i was unable to open the chest myself, ie. she had taken my tome. I'll gladely be proven incorrect, but thats what i think on the matter.

Lol, nice! Not only did they drop out in a stack (and not seperately) but you successfully retained your lockpick! Extra nice!

Just click on the link below or copy paste it from the OP.

Not a bug, has been mentioned several times before, though I have never been fortunate enough to get it . So I guess that just means you are a lucky guy. Go buy some lottery tickets.

Got 2 elite ele tomes from 1 chest. And lots of crappy purples too.
So it's not a bug and you're not the luckiest guy ever.

Luckiest? No, just borderline lucky. The chests do that from time to time.

You just got someone else's drop. Happened to me and a friend while we were vanquishing an area in the Echovald Forest. He got 2 Elite Tomes and I couldn't open the chest. It is a bug (despite what people think/are told) but an uncommon one and one that doesn't seem to get fixed. And if it isn't a bug, then why couldn't I open the chest afterwards . (no I didn't open it at all before my friend)

Nope, it's not a bug.

A few weeks ago, when I was SS/LB farming, a guy in my team got a "2 Elite Monk Tomes" drop from a chest.

Congrats by the way.

All I've been getting out of ANY chests lately is grape - and that's whether in HM or NM and I don't farm .

I wouldn't mind seeing the rest of the chat log to make sure someone didn't just drop 2 Elite Tomes before the chat "cut off" and therefore causing one big hoax...


Not that I don't believe you.

I've seen that happen at least half a dozen times with my guildies - sometimes with elite rit tomes . From my experience, it's not that rare of an occurance.

@ celestial: even if that image was a fake, it's happened to countless other people before. It's not unheard of.

i've actually pulled 3 elite rit tomes out of a chest in a Melandru Hope vanquish. The guildie who pulled a monk tome off the chest right before me was alittle pissed.

I've gotten 2 monk elites from the same chest before so I'm not sure I'd give ya the luckest for 2 rangers.

Think 2 rits would have been even lucker

I was just about to post something similar. Once, a long time ago, I had two ectos drop from a single target for me. No one in my party had ever seen anything like that before and I haven't seen it since.
