Strongbox in node

I'm making the long circuit around Elsweyr with my EU character to get the Pathfinder achievement, while passing the time until 2AM EDT when I can go for my 2nd day's tickets. I got my 1st day's earlier this morning.

So I'm farming while pathfinding, and I've just found a Rubedite Ore node that includes a Nafaalilargus's Strongbox. Pretty cool! I didn't realize they could drop randomly from nodes.

    I got one a couple of hours ago while harvesting runes, and I was quite surprised.

    ETA: half an hour after that, I got a second strongbox (along with my tickets) when I killed a dragon. It wasn't really clear to me until then that you could get more than one strongbox in a day, so that was a nice surprise, too.

    Don't they only drop in Elsweyr?

    Could be-- I would expect so-- but Psijic Portals appear all over Tamriel, anywhere that a Runebox can appear (just as Jewelry and Blacksmithing nodes share common locations).

    I got 3 strongboxes from 3 psijic portal nodes. Each gave a motif page too.

    @Michae The psijic portals that appear at Elsweyr atm can have strongboxes during the event.

    I think I got around 5 strongboxes yesterday in 2 hours while doing the daily jobs and a little dragon farming, and I wasn’t even trying that hard. They seem to have a non-trivial drop-rate.

    It's nice you can find boxes but I'm disappointed there are not double mats in the nodes.

    Correct, but the previous forum-goer did not know/realize portals can be found in Elsweyr.

    My strongbox had a 100 g treasure in it and a lousy ingredient. It also took a lot longer than normal to farm any perfect roe. RNGesus is mad at me. :(

    I got a strongbox from a violet coprinus node. Nice to know they drop from treasure chests and even urns or other containers.

    I know a lot of players, including myself, usually bypass nodes in Elsweyr while dragon hunting. It's always been hard for me, a compulsive node harvester, to ride by any node. But, I guess as the word spreads, there won't be as many nodes available to harvest.
