rootkitronin✭✭✭✭✭Yep, gold event box has been nothing but trash items for this event. Anything of value I've gotten has been in the purple boxes - which is nice, but then why have the gold box at all?15 -

✭✭✭✭✭I've gotten 2 gold boxes so far, both have had only green or white quality items.... with the exception of one style page.5 -

Crismac✭✭✭Yep, the gold boxes also had all junk items for me. I have got 3 style pages from the purple. But yeah they might as well all be purple.0 -

✭✭Junk or not, it's the one per day box. You want a nerf the purple boxes to make gold boxes more desirable?1 -

✭✭I feel like the folks at ZOS are trying to see just how low they can set the bar in terms of rewards, and how far they can push the daily grind, before people throw the towel in.5 -

most events i usually do just enough to get tickets, the only one ive taken more advantage of during the year are the pvp events (double ap really helps work on that grind to alliance rank 50), double tel var in IC, and the witches festival
plunder skull boxes are still good, and the other 2 are increases to effectively a currency which has nothing to do with a box lolplays PC/NA

i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them
feel free to stop by and use the facilities0 -

I've been completing all three High Isle dailies on seven characters per day, primarily because I'm interested in farming up more Stendarr stamps and also because I'm still missing most of the new furnishing plans dropping from those reward coffers. Since the start of the event, I've gotten just one purple plan and a handful of green plans. Most of the coffers have contained a single piece of equipment, and most of the Stendarr Stamps that I've gotten are from deconstructing gear, and even that is a paltry sum. The purple coffers aren't much better, unless you're really interested in receiving gobs of the same 5-6 pieces of furniture. The only real highlight of this event for me is that the price of High Isle treasure maps has come down, so now I can spend less trying to get all 14 of the leads for the Ancestral Breton motif chapters.2 -

✭✭The gold coffer should be a guaranteed drop for a style page, purple blueprint or High Isle motif. That's pretty much been the standard on these things for years.Well as they move more and more things account bound we should likly be seeing decreases in drop rates to compensate I would hope anyway.

Theres a 20 hour cooldown on blueprints from the blue zone coffers. Once you get a print from those coffers you will not get another one for 20 hours.
I'll just be doing the bare minimum to get tickets for the rest of the event, sitting on like 50 unopened high Isle coffers already.
Not really complaining though, I got some ok drops and knocked out all the achievements for High Isle geysers/ world bosses/ delve dailies.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭During the past two or three days, I've gotten two style pages from two golden coffers on PC EU, which came as a surprise. I'm thinking it was two days in a row, because I think it just started on Monday after the maintenance.
But I haven't had the same experience on PC NA; no style pages in the golden coffers yet. And I'm pretty sure I'd spent some time running around farming purple coffers on PC NA before handing in my dailies, such that I'd already found a style page in a purple coffer before getting my golden coffer that day.
I don't know whether there's a clue to a possible pattern hidden inside that anecdote, especially since it could just be crazy RNG at work as usual.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!0 -

✭✭✭Speaking of subtle messages, I'm just laughing every time I get another pile of crabs from a purple box.Fan of playing magblade since 2015. (PC NA)
Might be joking in comments.
