Is it worth opening strong boxes? (late game mapping)
|
Hi
So I've stopped opening ALL strongboxes. I used to open blues, but ripped at 91, due to a freeze spell, think it was cold snap. I used to open all the strongboxes, as there was nothing but a few mobs. Now they seem more dangerous. Has there been any changes to blue strong boxes? Could be my pc stalling when that cold snap went, which ripped me. IKN Wondering how much xp I'm losing by avoiding them all. I'm not sure the small mount of xp gained by them is worth ripping. I'm not interested in the box's contents, just the xp. Turnip Last bumped on May 6, 2016, 11:52:08 AM

When I'm leveling I open all strongboxes, damn I even pay for some extra strongboxes at Zana, roll them with Blue Pack, and gain an extra XP.
For tier 12 or less I used to vaal them, over tier 12, look for + Chest level. Yesterday I get two 6-Link Maces (or two divines, low roll). Always use that flask before open a strongbox, ALWAYS "This Is A Buff" (Bex_GGG august 30, 2016) Last edited by diegodgo87#3061 on May 6, 2016, 8:51:20 AM

I open them all, but I always have an evasion skill, be it blink arrow, lightning warp or smoke trap. A flask of heat is also a must to avoid skipping some of them.

When two witches watch two watches, which witch watches which watch? If the witches watching watches watch the same watch while you watch which witch watches which watch, they switch watches; then, the watch switching witches watch which watch you watch. Watching witches watch watches is not for the faint of heart... |

That is a better flask to use when opening strongbox. Just because some times a narrow hallway cluster fuck won't save you with all the run speed you got. "The launch day went quite well with just a few small hotfixes to address minor problems."

Xp per strongbox is 3 packs of white enemies. Possibility of +1 pack of magic enemies, or +3 rare enemies, or +1 rogue exile. You're not missing out much on exp, so no reason to hate yourself for skipping them. I personally id boxes to see their mods so I know how to treat them. I also usually aug boxes with only 1 mod, for the chance of more/better loot and exp.
It is DEFINITELY worth to craft and open arcanist and cartographer boxes though. |

Thx for responses .
If I'm not loosing much exp. I'd rather avoid them. But if I do I'll use one of the flasks suggested Tyvm Turnip |
