Sooo here's something for all the treasure hunters out there...

- Not so good Drops:
TONS of amber/jade wands and staves and nonmax golds / unwanted skins (archaic axe, morningstar axe, Branch.... )
Important Note - I did get like 5-10 Bo/Dragon Staves... but not one of them had a max inherent HSR mod!
Some statistics (not 100% accurate) for those who want to get some req8s too:
- I did chestruns untill all 750 Lockpicks were broke.
- 1 Lockpick will keep for ~8 Canthan Chests (in average with Max Treasure & Luck).
- Opened ~4 Chests / Run
- More or less 1 Gold Drop every 2 Runs (in average)
----
750 Lockpicks -> Opened ~5000-6000 Cathan Chests -> Got 9 Req8's:
So you could say for every 666 (^^) opened canthan chests you will get 1 Req8.
If you can do 4 Chests/Run @ Pongmei -> For every 166 Runs you will get 1 Req8.
Result for me:
Droprate is shit

... but I haven't seen so many unidentified Req8's in my inventory in years - so I'll definitely do some more runs!
Still hoping for the req8+5 fellblade to drop^^
(& Yes, req8 max swords do drop from canthan chests)
Cheers!

/E2:
will wait untill i got ~20 req8's in storage to be sure at least 1 will be good
