Question about banded chests

**sonvolt** · 01-24-2013, 03:02 PM

So my question is, what do normal banded chests drop? Do they also drop pinks like elite chest? Or do they not drop pinks? And if they do drop pinks are they the same that drop from elite chests?

As far as I know, all chests drop pinks. Regular chests just have a much lower chance of getting pinks

Great thanks for the reply.

Actually I think the regular banded chests only drop "regular" pinks (the cheaper ones) while the elite banded chests drop the elite pinks (the very expensive ones). I'm not 100% sure though, but I think this is the way it works.

^this.

Elite Pinks drop from 'Elite Banded gold/silver/copper Chests' or 'Elite gold/silver/copper Chests II' only.

Does anybody know if the Elite Banded chests drop better items or more frequently than the corresponding Elite II chests? In other words, is it worth running Tower instead of Jarl if you're going to open the chests anyway?

Different gear drops from Elite Banded Chests than from Elite Chest II.

For example, Demonlord Gear will only drop from Elite Banded. Also, elite gear from the previous cap will only drop from Elite II. So, if you want Demonlord, farm Dead City maps.

Otherwise, farm Previous maps. One note about Elite Chest II though. Even at LVL 21 you can get L20 or L21 gear. Whereas with the elite banded it will scale to your level specifically (LVL21 = L21 gear).
