Master chest's

killedbyping

So, i've opened about 100 master chest thru my gameplay and they ALWAYS drop same crap as basic once.
What is the meaning of this ? i mean srsly, they not even give a soul gem or glyph. Just some gold and a random green crap.

I'd guess just RNG; I've gotten bupkis from master chest before, but I've also gotten blue quality items and green quality items before. Not AS often as a lockpick and other meager prizes.

Yep that's about it some times you get a map for that area but thats it gold a a pice of green gear with a trait and it doesn't get any better the higher standard of chest.

Its a MMO time filler.

There's no real difference between the difficulty levels. Seems more that chests have a rough level which is in the range of the zone. The difficulty is a comparison of your level to the chests level. If you find a chest thats Master and it managed to stick around while you leveled a few times, the difficulty would drop. The contents of the chest I believe end up being in line with the level of the chest, but difficulty has no bearing on it.

The level range of the chests can vary pretty wildly though. I've found chests in 30's zones that were not Impossible at ~15-18. That or the comparison is more to your skill points earned than your character level.

You obviously not talking about MASTER chest.
You do NOT get any blue or anything else from Master chests.
There i a good chance for blue from Advanced chests, but there is always only random green crap from Master.
Even if it just RNG, it is still stupid as hell. You find such chests like 1 in a houndred and still have 0 usable loot from 100 chests ?
This is not RNG, this is idiocy.

The loot tables for chests are set by the zone level the chest is in, not the difficulty.

The difficulty of a chest depends on the difference between your character and the chests minimum level requirement and has no effect on the quality of the loot.

That might explain why Im not seeing master chests in Coldharbour at vr1 maybe?

I get advanced. Dont recall a master lately.

Do recall a lot of vr1 bots.

Thats not true or you get me wrong. Im not talking about level of item but about their number and quality.
First of all there is no difference at all what your level is and what is level of zone.
I've opened alot of chests in lower level zones (i'm VR5 atm) just for xp and i recieve same loot as from chests in VR zone.
Ofc level of items are the same as zone level, but quality and number are still the same:
Gold and random green in basic.
Gold,random green and chance for Soul Gem\Glyph or 1 more green from intermidiate
Gold, random green and chance for Soul Gem\Glyph or 1 green or blue item from Advanced
Only gold and random Green from Master.

I've opened really alot of chests of different level and i can asure you that YES, loot quality depends on difficulty level.
You never get anything better than green from Basic or Intermidiate chest.

Also, your theory of level difference betwin zone\character\chest doesnt explain why im having same crapy loot from Master chests in VR5 zone while im VR5 aswell.
