Might almost be worthwhile to not even open boxes and just go 100% for the gold...
If the terminal box is worth a gear, it's better to just pop it and not gamble at all. All the other ***is worthless/useless.

In a month when I actually have mules to 99 (it’s god awfully painfully slow) I have been planning to “donate” 100 of the orbs I’ve received over this campaign to the Gold chest only cause.
My server is too small/dead to shout for a drops so might as well test the Gold chest drop rates.

Thud: Armor, gil Loud Thud: Armor, gil, bewitched gear Gold Chest itself: Possible gear or mat. Probably where the noise only HQ drops are coming from. I have yet to see any run where the amount of gear was not equal to the amount of thud/loud thuds + 0-1. Given I had empty mule in alliance to hold mats, there was nothing being skipped because I already had it.

Given I had empty mule in alliance to hold mats, there was nothing being skipped because I already had it. I would think that the gil is most likely a rare reward from the gold chest. Ok, so I took a gamble. I used a Mars Orb and opened the Gold chest only. I got a suit of Hahava's Mail.
Uh, so, ASE shows a "Coffer O'Plenty"
You can't possibly tell me no one checked this yet? (it was not that box though, btw, lol) The boxes are different colors though, silver lined and gold lined I was about to test something but I hit a Thud Thud Thud Loud Thud.... i can't finish i have to open QQ. 5 Gear AMAN from thud thud thud loud thud  pretty sure coffer o plenty is the nm in venus orb, very sure ASE just shows where things last died and their last state
So the thing I was gonna test is ASE shows the 10 boxes, but they change every time you unload/load. From Coffer to Chest. Sometimes they change sometimes they don't. Was going to test if the mimic never changed from chest to coffer...
But I got bored. 7 Noise 1 Thud = No gear  I should've 100% sold this set of orbs. Just did Venus orb, was excited that i got loud thud on first box. Exit and got niburu gun. <.<

There's no actual difference between the two NMs, though, except maybe Coffer can cast Meteor. I must have missed it. Are the phases/gimmicks documented for the Chest/Coffer NM? They are... can't remember if its in this thread back in the beginning or they made a second thread for it
Yesterday, first run of 7; cropped for feelings. Rest were junk.

A post on Reddit yesterday showed a no drop from loud thud. This would prove Eiryl correct in that it doesn’t reroll and/or that the gold chest can drop nothing unless the more unluckily scenario occurred that he had both items already.
Eiryl was of the opinion that it did reroll, so I think you have that backwards.
I do. Just reread his posts you beat me to the edit now I have to leave it lol
It just puts more weight on my statement earlier that I thought I got a no drop from gold only and that nothing can drop (highly unlikely he had both items from loud + gold but possible).  Yesterday's run. Second run was a first chest mimic.

0/6 on Mars Orb going loud thud or bust. Just in case someone wants to start compiling data for the likelihood of getting a loud thud.

A loud thud and no drop lost 2 pieces of gear, interesting. I'm going with chatlog error since he didn't even get a non-gear item. "Zoos" hasn't even reforged his empyrean gear, I seriously doubt he has multiple omen bodies/gloves/raredrops from w/e So /skeptical Chatlog errors absolutely happen. Not saying right or wrong, just not solid proof. Lakshmi.Elidyr said: » Lakshmi.Buukki said: » I should've never left... D: Nothing's changed I see. I used to shout for hours (literally, 2 or more) just to fill up an HTBF event or something minor. I was in GTT, but due to my work/play schedule, i would log in and want to get something random done, and there were events, so I subsequently got kicked shortly after joining. They were the only real active event LS at the time. What, maybe 3-4 years ago? And original TTOF is gone so dueces Lakshmi, you were a great friend. . .

   All Mars, all in Waughroon. Dagon is happening a lot but not my Ashera. Sheesh. Out of how many?
I have 32 characters at 99 and they didn't miss a day of the campaign... so quite a few. I saw Shamash, Ou hands, Gyve doublet, a bunch of Zi'Tah rare drops like Makora, Router, etc.
Still no Ashera though. ; ; Carbuncle.Rajang said: » All Mars, all in Waughroon. Dagon is happening a lot but not my Ashera. |
