We just did explore 55-71 with 4 people. and I solo'd up to that 55. Was not impressed with chests. We have one chest with a tier 7+ item

22:52 You stumble upon a treasure chest. It has already been pillaged by someone else. Good luck.

A majority of the times you get crap drops from a chest is when solo'ing, your odds of improvement go up with extra people in the group. It can be seen by some of the SS's already posted here, those that find crap are solo'ing, and those that get reasonable drops have more people in the group.

Difference between HC and SC is simple, it is due to player-base. In reality, there should be an increase of drops from chests for solo and a diminishing return for more people in the group.

@Rabbit, your insight is lacking, for starters, when I play, I carry items to well if I find a well, the other items I carry are my EES gear so that I can pick up other gear from monsters that I killed, or chests (which is a joke considering they don't drop much of anything worth my time to pick up), NOW, if I was taking SS's of TCs, it would appear that I found a whole lot of good items, but, in reality I found nothing, and you can not even provide evidence of your accusation, so STFU about pwb3's SS's, you don't know jack $hite about how he or any other person plays or what they carry in their inventory.

In general yup...

But then again, treasure chests can come out quite nicely even while solo on rare ocassions

This was a pretty good one:

Posting these screenshots on solo is not going to prove anything. Paul designed higher tier items to drop under two conditions:

1) that you have a full group for greatest chance how higher tier/quality items spawning

2)that drop system gives all said drops to the same people, pissing you off and making you not explore ever in a group so basically its the same as soloing

Omfg if this isnt the realest explination of the drop system ive ever seen idk what is!

I was part of the 4 man joshie was in and drops were trash.



I swear this should be real.. at least I wouldnt feel so cheated when I open a box full of garbage.

Hey Dion, despite you saying this, I do recall you exploring with me within the last year, even if only for 20-30 min at a time.

1) Full group increases the strength of monsters--that increases drops, but it's not what makes higher tier/better drops possible. As you said it's chance, and so if you solo for maybe 15 x as long as you would 5-man, you can pull off similar drops overall. If you don't want to spend more time, you must find equivalently strong monsters to kill solo

2) The randomization of loot is patchy, but averages out over time. The trick to not getting pissed off when you don't get the loot is groping up with people that you want good things for when you explore That way you're happy when you get the loot and you're still happy when they get the loot

The current event has 21% treasure chest quality... so this event is almost twice as good as the one this topic was made in... Finally, not only tier I-IV items... Now we can get tier V items like in this treasure chest!!!



Actually... maybe a little higher than tier V
