Large Chests

I have been farming catacombs as it is the easiest area with a high level other than maps. Given that it's already a great area to fight in having the large chest that spawns there reliably drop multiple rares and a unique would be rediculous.

That said last time I popped it I got 2 portal scrolls and a wisdom scroll, I think it could do a little better than that =P

Also iir/iiq doesn't effect chests at all correct?

Unless several of my toons early on had coinciding great RNG with these chests, then in later levels where they drop fossilized coal -> how does that make any player feel? False advertising?

People don't like inconsistency. You say one thing one time then something different later on. What's your impression of such a person? The idea of "Hypocrite" comes to mind.

I prefer the G(O-o)gle ones. They will never get nerfed.

As for ingame ones, I guess they are like rare mobs in terms of drop. Sometimes you get uniques, sometimes nothing at all.

Well when I do catacombs, you're right, I REGRET needing to open that chest.

For a while there I would quit the game with the character I'm leveling and rejoin with another one that had over 100 magic find. Didn't change drops much at all other than an occasional rare. Such an experience makes me regret that chest is there evertime it explodes into usless stuff.

In one way it's worse than Diablo 3, where everyone agrees that only one in a million yellows seems like is any good.

Cause slap yourself in the face and say, "Hey! these yellows that drop in the PoE game... it's just like same droprate playing D3!"

That's because the low level items they drop have no value once you out level them. If large chests dropped "end-game" gear consistently why would anyone run piety/dominus or maps under level 74 ish.

It's simply an economy stabilizer that they no longer drop 4 rares+.

IIQ/IIR dont affect chests, they only affect monsters killed.
