Chest Drops Need Research[edit]

I don't have any screenies at hand, but I can confirm from memory that the list as it stands is not correct and/or incomplete. It is, for instance, perfectly possible to get two Onyx or two Shard drops from the chest- I've seen this happen to fellow players. At the very least, the article would need rephrasing. I don't have the time to clear FoW over and over to get an idea of the chest drop statistics, but I think it might be a good idea to start gathering screenies if we happen to go there. -- Elveh 10:58, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Some guildies and I just did FoW -- we all recieved 4 items, with a shard, onyx, and key being the only consistent drops. I'll update the article to reflect this. --Mme. Donelle 02:07, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

"One random inscribable rare item"... This is not always true. I got a Wolf Hammer that was not inscriptible. For the research info i also got a Onyx gem, Shard and obsidian key. --Bob 07:16, 27 January 2008 (UTC) Edit; oops, mismatch items. the rare drop was indeed inscriptable.

I just opened the chest in normal mode, and got an Obsidian Key, Obsidian Shard, and *2* Onyx Gemstones, so Onyx's can be added to the list of extra items. 86.17.72.80 04:55, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

As you can see, the drops aren't that great. I got a cruddy Air Staff - even though most eles have their attributes high, in the general scheme of things, you'd expect a lower req. User eldin sig.jpg Eldin 23:11, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

My first ever Voltaic Spear, can't complain. Arduinna 20:56, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
I got ancient daggers, with a measure for measure inscription, and silencing tang, handle of defense.
Just got a bunch of rare crafting materials, not so cool now that they've deflated so much in price, but still, not too shabby for NM (put them on the drop research page). Widowmaker 21:39, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
Actually I tell a lie, it's only the Onyx, the Obsi Shard and Ruby I also got are worth 3k and 7k respectively atm, could be worse. Widowmaker 21:40, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Inspiration For Model[edit]

Does the Chest of Woe remind anyone else of those garbage cans where you step on the plate to open it? :P User eldin sig.jpg Eldin 14:57, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

NON-inscrips drop[edit]

Just got an r11 Archaic Hammer from the chest. Non-inscrip. =/

My drop[edit]

just got a req 13 fiery dragon sword drop from it --Wild rituals 04:03, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Katana[edit]

Just got a req 9 inscribable katana from the end chest. I have a screen shot if needed of the chat, picked it up before thinking. Earl Of Trellheim

Spear[edit]

got a Q9 Greater Guardian Spear, inscribable. HM run.

Got Celestial Longbow, it's not on the list 83.20.132.91 21:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Needed?[edit]

Is that huge list of rare items really needed? I agree with keeping the really rare items and the ones that are on high demand cos i use that info from time to time, but this list is just ridiculous, might as well add every single gold in the game. French777 18:46, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

It has some relevance thanks to how the drops are inscriptable, so they may not be readily available elsewhere. For example, if someone wants an inscriptable Celestial Sword, farming in Factions would be a waste of time; that person would have to look either here or in the Zaishen Chest or in the Underworld Chest. Meanwhile, this chest does not have an inscriptable Celestial Staff, for example. But I do agree the list is a bit too big right now. Erasculio 20:03, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
In keeping witht the fact that this is a huge list, does it seem to anyone else that a LOT more junk pops out of the FoW chest (or at least more varieties of junk) than its UW counterpart? Does this have a stated purpose? Is the UW meant to be more challenging and therefore merits better rewards? 141.165.170.59 05:47, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
I will probably create a drop research page for this chest that is more in line with other reward chests (example). Thoughts? --Threid Threid's talk page 22:50, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


This Chest[edit]

And its Counterpart drop ALL Skins. (with the possible exception of obby blade/Celestial compass). That doesnt mean theyre not signature skins for their individual dungeons. IF it does drop an emerald blade (screenie or it didnt happen) its still a signature skin of kathandrax. Just as much as Volty spear is a signature skin of Slavers exile. --Briar 00:48, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

You don't see silverwings coming out of this chest. You also don't see crystallines. It definitely does not drop all skins, but most. Tbh, i haven't heard of an everlasting tonic coming out of this chest since ursan days either. 98.248.90.248 00:52, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
Ive heard reports of UW chest dropping silverwing. Doesnt mean i believe them. Also heard of crystalines comming out of this one. Again, it doesnt mean i beleive them. Ive just heard it happened. doesnt mean there's proof. --Briar 00:58, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Diamonds?[edit]

Since when does FoW Chest drop Diamonds. I have been on many many many FoWSCs and have never seen a Diamond drop from here. Can someone confirm this? --122.108.189.194 13:01, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

I've gotten both Diamon Aegis and Iridescent Aegis, both of which salvage into diamonds. My guildie got a Diamond drop last run we did, so yes. They do drop. Though that was the first and last time I've seen them. --Kristofferus 06:07, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
