They removed the Frozen Chest and the Lost Stronghold box?
I ran it a few times suicide on my warrior/monk, got nothing good, but I did get a weird staff, called "Eerie Staff" +10 energy, max damage Unid blue with req called 10 communing, Dont know who uses that, seems like it may be Ritulist, but I couldnt grab it, Heretic kept slowing me down and with 60DP... bleh I gave up.

Yeah that's too bad. It was a fun run.. I wonder if my white req8 dwarven will be worth anything now?

A message comes up for anti-farming?
phreakilla

Well the drops from the TG were alot better from anything I ever got out of those chests
anyway, I was late to the party, I assume the TG are still all there. I love taking those guys on.

I hope they increase drop rates of crystallines in other areas by deleting those chest's....
otherwise its down to UW/FoW/HoH chest's....
UW spider chest barley drops a purple, I highly doubt anything good comes from them...
FoW... we got chest runners, whos going to do quests for those chests over n over...
and I highly doubt we all will farm halls (pvp)... did ToPK give a chest at the end?

I'm curious why they took them out. It's like like that area was getting overfarmed like Augury.

I bet the just moved them to somewhere else.
I was sad today to see that they where not up there..

I had been soloing this for a long time.. not fighting- just running both. I got lucky and found a purple crystalline on my 2nd go. My sister also got a crystalline in the ice floe one which was better than mine. Im not that bothered.. now at least there wont be as much rare skinned item spam.
I only went for a crystalline for some extra money and i got it.. so im happy

disposable-hero
Oh why, why, why didnt i read the whole thread where it tell me they've been removed BEFORE i waste my time doing the run : ( oh well some nice screen dumps for there
naix
I honestly can not think of one reason why these chests deserved a nerfing.
hobbitshd
can we have a definite answer?
ARE THE CHESTS MOVED OR reMOVED???
i see both posted above, that they are random and that they have been taken out>>> which is it?
thanks,
bilbo

Well since some people JUST REFUSE to read the guildwars.com website:
http://www.guildwars.com/aboutgw/gam...es/default.php
here is what it says:
Update - Thursday March 2
Removed chests from Dreadnought’s Drift and Ice Floe.
Those who are stating they are random can't read and are lying to you.

Get the Collector's Smiting Staff (20/20) from the Desert w/ +5 Head and +20% enchanting Grip.
Glads' + Ascalon Helm
Superior Vigor and Absorption
Superior Strength
Healing at 9
Smiting at 12
Protection at 3
Strength at 9 + 3
Mending
Balthazar's Spirit
Healing Breeze
Shielding Hands (can replace this with something else - anything really)
Symbol of Wrath
Sprint
Dolyak Signet
Shield Of Judgment
You can't kill Heretics or Blessed Griffon's. Dolyak Masters are invincible, so just ignore them. Stone Summit Rangers are extra bad news. Azure Shadows are tough, but doable with practice. Everything else is fair game. Fought solo all the way from Droks to Beacon's Perch with this...actually, you don't fight much at all...just stay alive while SoJ does the work for you. Symbol of Wrath to get the Melee mobs to break agro on you so you can heal.

You get better drops from Tundra Giants and Trolls anyway. At least they are always consistent.
Elthanor
The Chest are gone? Crap... oh well. Thanks anyways.
Cowboy Nastyman

Did you even bother reading the last post before you posted??

Does "removed" mean that they have been put in some other place or that they have been removed from GW?

toric brightblade
guys honestly, this post has turned into flaming...
Lex Talionis
I love ppl who are eternally clueless. The chests don't exist or spawn anymore. Is this simple enough? Stop believing in myths + do some research.
T1Cybernetic
The BIG clue is "Removed" not moved not changed or slightly off to the
left a bit! The chests are definately gone and probably gone for good,.
Just please re'read what Linsys already posted! im sure it will sink in eventualy.

ok guys, I don't want to flame but the game updates only say that they "Removed chests from Dreadnought’s Drift and Ice Floe."
There's nothing about bringing other chest into the game, that's right, but.... Did they tell us something of the 20/20 healing staff???? That's only an example, I am sure there are many undocumented changes.
Saying "Those who are stating they are random can't read and are lying to you." is bullshit as long as you don't KNOW the truth and if you should know please proove it!
So if there is someone who could definitely tell that they are there or they aren't is highly welcome to speak but all the other please stop guessing
To ubermancer: I don't know the prehistory of you and ElectroBoogiE, but I hope your post is not meant like it sounds.

He says he hates the guy cause he asks if the chests still exist..
They are GONE, not somewhere else, GONE. Get over it, strongbox farming is DEAD and they are NOT COMING BACK.

Why is this still here? The chests are gone. Poof.
Of course, I'm not helping by contributing a post to this 'nerfed' thread.
