CE Chest Weapons?

WorfSonOfMogh

I've just opened the Grahtwood CE Chest (VR zone Grahtwood), and I've received two pieces of VR2 armor, and two one handed level 50 weapons. The same thing happened with the Auridon chest as well, except it was VR1 armor and level 50 one handed weapons again. Is this what you're supposed to get out of these chests, or is the fact that the weapons are level 50 and not VR leveled unintentional?

I've received vr1 weapons from mine. I don't know what dictates the type of weapon you receive though. I have 2h at maxed and I get 2h weapons, so I'm assuming it's based on your highest level weapon. If you have 2 weapons maxes then I have no idea.

But that's weird to receive a lvl 50 weapon.

I've only got dual wielding maxed. It is giving me two one handed weapons, which makes sense. The level being 50 is the only weird part though. Hrm.

RNG and capped at the level of the zone, not your character level ...

I have gotten nothing but green crap out of them

Every single CE map chest up to VR5 had gear scaled up to character level when looting the chest, except weapons and shields which don't scale and stay level 50. I stopped using the maps at VR6. Waste of good alt gear.

Right. This is a VR zone however, so the cap should be in the VR zones. And in the cases of Auridon, Khenarthi's Roost, and Grahtwood, I've gotten VR armor and level 50 weapons. It's extremely unlikely that it would be the exact same in all cases, if it's just random. Also, I never said anything about my character's level being part of the equation.

Is the fact that shields and weapons stop scaling intentional though, do you know?

That i don't know. Since the weapons/shields don't scale we're not getting the full benefit from the CE maps. I feel somewhat cheated.

Though I hate to use the word cheated, the feeling is similar here. I mean, I'll get by just fine without getting VR weapons from the chests, but it's a nice little boost.

I stopped caring at the end. I do wish to know if it really was an intentional design decision.
