10 Things I Learned hunting Unique Strongbox for challenge
An homage to SpanishMonarch and more recent Saranghaeyo_'s threads
I was stuck at 39/40 cause of this " challenge " and have made some observations. That's actualy the only one i've done with the help of forum / 820 / public party and maybe one twinned map aswell. 1/ Chancing boxes is useless 2/ Buying monstruous treasures is useless 3/ It's only about rng and it seems RNG DIFFER A LOT FROM AN ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER :devilsmile: 4/ Chancing more boxes is useless 5/ Opening areas in any difficulties and running trought them with 200% move speed full buffed is ... USELESS 6/ You will expect to find it in dried lake 7/ And finaly will get it from somebody enough kind to accept your exalt ( posted on forum + 820 + public party at the same time) 8/ In sewers 9/ If you are stuck at 39/40 with a challenge like that you will honestly re-consider the love you have for this game. 10/ You will finaly say thanks to players who offered you for free some monstruous treasures / chances orbs / scourings to help you finish last " challenge ? ". ( Beers and pizzas anytime ). 3 characters 85/87/90 in three weeks on 4 ( had one fully afk ). Ended 40/40 last Friday thanks to community help. I havn't counted chances used and i think that's better like that. 0 unique box. Next time i don't even do challenges. The burnout is real.

I got my uniq box yesterday, in like 5-or-6 monstrous treasure map. 1 Koams box before too.
But rng is rng :) | |
Congrats on 40, man. I'm getting close and then it's time to say goodbye to Prophecy.
I got ridiculously lucky imo chasing the Strongbox, and like you I figured hey let's chance these with Monstrous Treasure, should be np. After burning through 7-8 Monstrous Treasure, I started to reconsider. I actually posted a WTB Strongbox for 1 exa in the Trade Forum. But actually I wound up getting it about 30 runs into Atziri, Mutewind Cache sitting in one of the rooms. Fake Temp League Elitists LUL

" Why can't we have some more non rng gated challenge ? At this point i would have prefered farm 500 time core malachai or find the secret of fishing in PoE. " Thank you :) I havn't said good bye to Prophecy just slept few hours after :D ( few ) Ehhh after burnout will just play next league and challenges again like always. Hopefuly work will allow me to give it a try in HC next time i'm expecting it to be way more challenging this way. Good luck with your last runs ! Hf :) Last edited by Heli0nix on Jul 4, 2016, 4:42:32 AM

" Same here: I didn't keep track but it was about the fourth or fifth "Monstrous Treasure" when I got it. Can't seem to find any other trials beside the "Piercing Truth", though so it's time for /global 820, too... Exit, pursued by a Plummeting Ursa.

I found my first unique strongbox this league while leveling in Cruel. I found another one on my 3rd map. I dont even play that much.
RNG is RNG. PS: Isnt there a prophey that gives a guaranteed unique strongbox? It was one of the prophecy chains that gives a key to the pale council. Does that box count? | |
Yeah, in Plaguemaw IV you have to open a unique box but it doesn't count. Neither do the ones in Oba's for example.

About trials Alysma the way i found the most and made lot of currencies this way was when i did the 300 maps challenges. Used to open low map with straight forward tilesets and LOT of movespeed ( around 200 full buffed ) and found around 1 trials all 6/7 runs you could eventualy getting to it this way if you give importance to SF challenge. If not then yeah just ask in 820 it will be way faster :)

Yeah, I'm speedrunning all my lower maps but trials seem to be my RNG curse this league :-D
So, I checked and here are the names of the boxes that count for the challenge: Ashes of the Condemned Brinerot Cache Deshret's Storm Mutewind Cache Redblade Cache Renegades Cache Exit, pursued by a Plummeting Ursa.
