Went on a chest run today in the explorable area, in 4 runs out of 12 chests all were purple. We are talkin about an end game explorable area with very hard groups to kill, and i spend 10k on purples? I suspect this is some sort of anti farming system that has kicked in seeing as last week i got 3 golds which were all very rare. I now see many people at Raisu entering the explorable area with hench or solo.
Can anything be done to simply stop the chests pouring out purples when they should be pouring out golds.
Wow Raisu Palace is so over farmed.

Yeh simple solution, dont overfarm.

Go complete another mission and then go back to these chests and see if your luck changes...

9/10 chests at least have been purple for me across the entire game. I don't think it's unique to Raisu Palace.

I went on a couple of chest runs there tonight after trading in my commendations, I opened 4 chests and got 2 golds and 2 purples, which is far better than my usual haul of 90% purple junk when opening chests.

uhh 1 third of all chests you farm will be golds. I have been chest famring for quite some time now and thats what its ben at. No they shouldnt make it so people get more golds from chests they wouldnt be rare anymore. Your request is crazy.

You honestly think its only there? Christ have you ever opened a chest in Prophecies!!? Almost every Darkstone is Purple, 3/4 of Southern Shiverpeaks ones are, Underworld... i've never seen a gold chest drop in there out of about 50 keys.

Went to the deep all golds but the very last chest was purple.

If you farm chests in groups you take turns opening your gold rate will go up to 75%+
If you insist on farming chests solo, purple is the price you pay.

I can see it now, them making all the chests gold then you coming back 2 weeks later bitching about how the price on all the drops dropped by a lot. Quit whining, its like the lottery, but still with better odds

It's like watching a sitcom. An incredibly unfunny, yet horribly fascinating sitcom.

It's a gamble.

I wish i was able to farm these chests in Raisu Palace.
Haggard
Oh no you don't, farming is horrible. But it's all I'm good at, and I for one will keep whining till the servers close!
Sir Skullcrasher
Hey Haggard, take me to elite missions?

Well, when I open chests in FoW, I get upwards of 80% gold chests. The drops aren't usually that great, but sometimes they're nice. I just think people don't get excited enough to post threads on how they just opened 10 gold chests in a row, so all you see are the people who've had a string of bad luck.
Teutonic Paladin
How do you farm these? Just fight through the mission? Or is it an actual run?
eternal pho
hmmm i thought drops from mobs are affected by overfarming, not overfarming with chests?? (correct me if im wrong)

Oh so having more ppl in your group while chest farming is better?
Avarre
Because 1 person can open a chest, if it's purple everyone moves on, if gold everyone opens. This means you'll spend less keys on purple drops because of the alternation in testing.
CartmanPT
I think we should start a petition for everyone except xb0vv to stop opening chests at raisu

Chest loot is not affected by antifarming code. Chest loot it's like gambling.

Back when factions was released, I'd say less than a week after release, I did supply runs for faction.. insaely easy pre-nerf. I also usually opened 3-4 chests during the runs, and a definately more than half were gold. I was talking to my guild about it and the others agreed there was a 75% gold drop rate. Now.. I havent been running it extensively, but its mostly purple now.
Deduce what you will from this.

i the last 3 weeks ive gone from opening 4/5 chests gold to 1/10. and i dont just run zone. ill run the entire jade sea in 1 go. then ill got hit a few easy mission and explorable areas outside of it. 3 weeks ago i could keep my addicting habit supported now cant seem to get a good drop. i mean sure i get +15% xxx all the time. but its like req 11-13 always and the req 8s are almost always +5 energy or something else useless.
i have a love hate relationship with chests. i love to open them and hate to id my drops.

Master Togo is not impressed by your needs to overfarm chests. I as well has had great difficulty getting my hands on Gold coloured items.
Yet we all know the true cause of this decrease in chest quality is the evil organisation know only as the "Farming Bots".
They must be stopped!

Think I've only seen a few golds from chests in the whole game.

I was in Raisu Explorable twice to uncover the fogged harbour area -> 10of10 chests purple.
Looks more like a bug than an effect from over farming...

Key... you're farming chests, not playing the game. Yeah, the purples could suck but honestly, I play the game normally, do missions, kill things, kill things in a different area, come back and slaughter some more!... *coughs* And nearly 80% of my chest drops are gold. Yes, the switch off in some groups seems to help with key cost, and efficiency.. and sometimes no matter what you do, a map of chests are a percentage purple. But .. focus less on the chests and more on the slaughter *cackle* and see if your drops improve.

I wouldn't claim that everyone else will get the same as me. Many of us believe that the drop rates are not all equal (more likely based on some seed generated during character creation) as we have seen over the past year that some characters are inherently 'lucker' than others. Even without that, though, it's not always good to claim all experiences are the same based upon your own. Just an FYI. I know a character that has picked up several max purples in a row in Gates of Kryta, which still amazes me. She consistently has good drops, hence the overwhelming cash on her account.
Rieselle
Hmmm, 100% of my chests are gold. Because I dont care about opening chests, I only ever use keys on chests that other people have tested first. Otherwise I just dont bother. I have a bunch of gold items of varying quality that I have no idea what they're worth and cant be bothered selling. Maybe if they ever implement that in game auction system....

Question: has anybody got a rare drop from a chest in Raisu Palace Explorable since they got changed to Forbidden Chests?
I haven't. (10 out of 10 were purple)

The juice aint worth the squeeze if you arent sure your going to get max damage. I only buy luxon, obsidian, and phantom keys. Normally i sit quietly and wait for others to open chests in UW and FoW to see if its gold or purple but ill go ahead and test now and then. My experience with luxon keys has been pretty bad. The past 30 keys i maybe got like 7 or 8 golds. Only like 2 of then were perfect with bad req's. Im not complaning at all because it is my gamble and its like the lottery, nothing needs improving. Since i usually farm luxon chests in Archipelagos i decided to go to Gyala Hatchery explorable and i began to get more golds from the chests. I highly doubt my switching zones where i normally farm had any effect at all and its just coincidence, but hey it worked for me
eternal pho
I currently chest farm at a luxon area where no one rezones or leaves the town so it's not overfarmed.

and then open chests as you go, your drops will be better, and when you kill
Shiro you get the Amulet. I have completed the entire game on both sides
six times already, now working on a necro and then will do a Rit. and will
have done all 8 characters, 3 were Tyrian toons. So I see spending large
amounts of gold for weapons as silly, just make sure to have the right keys
on you when entering any missions, and if you open a chest make sure to
tell everyone really quick what color it is.
