TG Crime Spree Strong Box respawn rate is BS

Jakhajay

My bf and i have spent the last 2 hours scouring Greenshade for strogboxes to break into (Thanks guy who made Rogues Folio) and we didn't see a single one.

Two hours. No strongboxes.

There were other people running around looking for them too, and judgung by the frequency I was seeing them at, they were having fruitless searches also. Perhaps these can respawn faster to make the Crime Spree quest less tedious. Because at the moment, it's so not worth even doing.

People will go to certain cities with high number of safeboxes and farm them endlessly. They will know the exact spots where they spawn and grab them as soon as they're up. I had that problem in Greenshade and Malabal Tor a few days ago, but fortunately I'm done with the tip board achievement and only need safeboxes fit sport now

EDIT: If you have the same issue again, try going to a smaller city in the same zone. There are usually some safeboxes in those, though you may have to do some searching. If you play on PC, get the HarvestMap add-on to mark the spots of any safeboxes you find, so you won't have to remember each one.

Also, another way is just to drop the mission and take a different one.

Yeah, some people farm them, and leve none for you. Makes one wish they'd become PvP-enabled the moment they open it, huh?

But as has been mentioned, you just move on and find another in a less busy area. I done that quest a few times now, and have yet to fail at finding one somewhere...

You would think they would have hindsight before implementing this stuff,nope.

I suggest making a couple safe boxes appear that are specifically for the quest and not for those Legerdemain grinders (or just greedy thieves ), because this is OBVIOUSLY not working.
