Hello guys , there is another major problem in this game and that is the chests on end game dungeons.
If you guys did not know it turns out the expedition dungeons end game are worst chests than anything you can find in the open world in end game zones.
The chests can only drop 500-510 gear . They are not elite chests . In my opinion this is very bad design. As it stands it takes about 50 hours of major portals to make one tuning orb and also 200 stone cutting.
I am at 580ish gear score with my weapons at around 550ish . I was very disappointed not even the last chest is worth anything but salvage parts.
TLDR
Expeditions chests at endgame can only drop up to 508 gear a bunch of effort for trash. I believe this was done again to time gate people and they will probably rework them later.
At least the Expeditions are fun but they need to be more rewarding especially if they are nerfing major portals.
Wow, if this is true, I’ll be done with the game for now. I was saving my keys, getting my watermark up to 580+ to run some expos with my friends, if there is no reward, what’s the point? Need pictures/video to confirm this though.
With the flawed gearing system we had with that watermark nonsense and the huge time sink crafting an even more nonsensical one time key to enter, you should save all the expeditions free keys you have until you’re at least 580+ GS. Anything below that is huge waste of time and resources.
Its reason I’w not looked in to playing last 2 dungeons. Go there spend xxx time wiping learning mechanics to get slapped in face as reward… YES!!! not rl what anybody wanted.
Yeah, I dedicated myself to crafting instead of killing elites mindlessly for 16 hours a day and now my Genesis drops are 100 gs behind my actual equip.
I would do that but my mentality is that the best gear should always come from skilled content not timed content such as crafting .
Similar to RuneScape you can craft for completionist goals but the best rewards always come from end game quests , bosses , raids.
Crafting orbs is a pain right now with all the drop rate issues. We can’t even discuss the Expeditions drops before all the things we need to do prior are not fixed yet.
So can we get an update? I mean can’t they change the drop table to just match myrk as a bandaid for now at least?
As much as we want to run dungeons… convincing others to do them is constantly met with, “It’s not worth it cause chests are bugged.” Even when we are offering to use OUR orbs.
