Maelstrom Arena - Yay, first time finishing on a StamHealer, but a question.

OsUfi

Oh my days, I've tried arenas on fleshed out characters before, but never gotten past the 3rd stage. I'm an elderly player with the reactions of a snail. Today my new shiny, one-bar StamHealer gave it a go at level 36 and ran through the whole thing with only a handful of deaths! Wooo! Happy!

But, questions!

I got a skill point at the end. I've read a couple of guides, none mentioned getting skill points for arenas. Is that a thing? A first completion skill point?

Also, I finished this on normal mode about level 36, and received none of the fancy weapons. A little miffed, the arena took me hours to finish. Do you only have a chance of one dropping, or did I miss a collection/lootable body? If there's only a chance of one dropping, what are the odds or % chance of a weapon dropping? That's a proper duh-duh moment if I walked past a corpse after all that fighting, haha.

It's the only arena that gives a skill point.
The maelstrom weapons will drop guaranteed from there, but not for a low level character. If you took a level 50 CP 160+ through there, that final chest would have an arena weapon. I don't know if the cutoff is level 50 though or something else.

Cheers for the answers, @kringled_1

Then I shall return once I hit level 50 and see if I can make it through again.

You'll get a 2H weapon , bow or staff that count as 2 piece in the set, Or you'll get 2 x 1H weapons for the dual wield set , Or you'll get a one hand weapon & shield for the S'n'B set.
