We pay alot for ankhs, we pay alot for luck elixirs and we pay alot for potions
When we finally loot the master chest what is the reason its not tradeable? whats the logic behind it, how is it bad to make it tradeable like any other chest?
I dont believe in luck so in general im not a chest opener ive always sold the ones i looted in elites, if theres a reason master chests arent tradeable and im blind to it please enlighten me =]
The chest were put in to prevent fossils from having potential glitch drops like previous archon ring glitch drops
Please read the post carefully :)Quote:

@Matan: yes, I agree that it should be tradeable. I'm also not fond of myself's luck.
I like untradeable chests, reminds me of old days, when everyone was farming jarl.
I also really wish that it was tradeable to at least fund my ankhs and potions.
People still farm Jarl ;)Quote:

I looted a noble after we killed the first boss. Thought I'd looted a Planar Armor lol. I was kinda disappointed to go from a 350k item to a 1k item.Quote:

I miss the elite jarl days too, but jarl runs didnt bankrupt me like planar is, gold and deaths alike.Quote:

So that everyone would go to arena and try their luck instead of just buying many and spamming them?
You have a point.
So is the arena in the end not just a gold sink for rich players?
If those among the minority who can complete it could then farm it and sell the chests, that would mean for sure that for the most part, the already best geared and richest players would be the only ones farming and selling these.
As is, "Average to poor" player *hiii* stays out. "Rich" player ends up spending a lot of gold on pots/ankhs, (maybe throws in some plat spending there too) thinking one of these master chests is gonna pay off.... master chest does not pay off... is that not just a less obvious and more enticing gold sink than the gold vanities? May not last but while it does...
Not saying its right/wrong, should be so or should not be.... just looking for an answer to your question :)
Cya in game at some point when next big thing happens (:

As for keeping the chest character bound, this is so we do not cheapen the drop. You have to earn it. There is no other way to specifically loot one for yourself then to go through the paces of completing the arena. There is good stuff to get in here, but there are also Epics as well. Not everything can be a winner, no? No Rares or Commons however.
What if the bosses had a chance at looting ankh kits?
Come on Carapace. You cheapen the drop by filling those arena master chests with lol architect and lol shade. You guys made a sweet arena, the loot should reflect the difficulty. We aren't playing to lose our gold.Quote:

This Planar Arena right now is totally just for AP if you'll ask me. This isn't the place to farm or earn gold from loots. Though Arcane Fossil can be looted in this area, not all players have funds to invest in this area. Honestly, I just finished my AP in this area and gone back to merching. I am earning more in merching than farming in this place. I hope sts fix the loot table. Elite Golden Warchest is a better loot in the old arena compared to the loots in this new arena.

I agree. Arena just isn't profitable and currently is just for completion purposes or just to run it to see how it is. There are absolutely no drops that make it worth spending pots or anks as the gears are junky. We all know that the hope of looting fossil is abysmal, and after running a few days with nothing to sell, pretty much it's just a gold sink that most can't afford and no longer want to do. You should have just made it cost energy and also have a tooth system drop so that people could at least buy something small to sell even if they looted nothing. The new vanities should have been exclusive to be inside the chests as well. They would at least fund pots and anks.Quote:

Eh no energy. Even if essences can be found, I'm not doing that again lol.Quote:

Right now anks, lix and vanities are at a slow sale rate. Very few are running arena. No one is winning like this. I make more gold from doing dailies than arena.Quote:

Thanks Remiem.
It was really a disappointment when we gotta know the elite chest is non tradable. All we hope for was good old arena when we farm EGP for making some good profit from it. After spending some time farming deaths / wasting pots / plats / ankh , and what you looted just 2 epic gears, and probably some legendary which nobody will buy. Players now will go arena just for completing AP and that's end of arena.
But it's a good update for arena that's it wasn't too hard compare to initial stage. But there's a hard time searching for childsplay to complete the AP. Imagine i've run almost 50 times on this new arena and nv come across once neither do any of my friends.
The challenger does exist in the new arena. I've come across him twice, and never as a first boss. I agree with everyone though, this is not the place to score some loot. If anything, it will lead you to bankrupcy.Quote:
