    since channeler is my main now and i dont have last expansions ethereal bow i feel the strong urge to get the mythical bow from umbrite chests...

    i was ondering what everyones chances fot the different keys are.
    i am over 700 keys in and the plat-key chance seems close to 10% while i only had a single umbrite key...
    other people tell me they had 3-6 from 150 to 200 keys.

    what i am wondering is, are those peolpe very lucky or do i have a streak of bad luck?
    so can people who also opened 500+ keys please comment on their rates...

    thanks for that info!!!
    i will now hand in my keys with a scout.
    probably would have instantly ragequit and never looked back if that happened to me after all the keys i farmed.

    Your scout could get the throwing ranged also, so you're still in with a chance of getting the wrong one.

    Channelers and Rangers can get screwed

    Remember that umbrite is supposed to be ultra rae, plat is supposed to be mostly rare.

    The focus wand is also a no-trade, pretty sure bow is too, so cant even give it to an alt .... :(
  9. Pixilicious Well-Known Member

    And yea exactly cause they are ultra-rare and no-trade it should be something i could use !
    Not something utterly useless for my class !

    790 keys opened
    702 Gold (88.86%)
    76 Platinum (9.62%)
    12 Umbrite (1.52%)

    10 Pandora's Portmanteau
    2 Golden Ring of Combat

    :(

    Now that's closer to being a meaningful sample size. That would give us something like 90% gold, 9% platinum, and 1% umbrite as the underlying percentages, possibly.

    And so far (other than the one altar) the loot from the Plat Keys has been horrible.

    I just used 15 gold keys... 10 of them gave me "Radiant Spellweaver's Gussets"

    Yesterday was pretty much the same thing.

    I'm using the gold key gear to make infusers but still that one piece of gear is the one I get most of the time.
  16. Sylke Well-Known Member

    Yeah, it seems the gold key armor rewards are limited to specific ones (rather than any of the available ones). I've stopped clicking the gold chest because it's annoying to have to salvage all that gear one-by-one (but with 3 clicks per salvage).

    That's what I said from much smaller sample :)
  18. DoomDrake Well-Known Member

    120 keys
    8 platinum - all crap, semi useful altar
    1 umbrit - golden ring of combat (haha I hope nobody surprised?)

    My personal impression
    about 8-13% comes in plat
    about 0.8-1.3% comes as umbrit
    To guaranty get those %% best is open big stack 25+ keys at once better 100-200 at once (I seen this type of randomization gen in different flash game)
    To get different type of time from chest you need to wait at least 30 second to open chest again if you constantly grind same chest none stop to WILL get same item
  19. Sigrdrifa EQ2 Wiki Author

    How you open these still does not matter. It's the same random roll every time. But wear your unwashed lucky socks if the superstition makes you feel good.

    Sorry to hear that.
