Heibi.4251 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 "Added a new Corrupted Hero weapon set to WvW. Exotic versions of the weapons have been added to the Mist-Hardened Lockbox." So what kind of drop rate from the chests is it? 0.000000001%? I just opened 150+ and not a single exotic version drop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custodio.6134 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 it could be that any lockboxes that dropped before the update do not drop them. the same way that skirmish-chests did not give testimonies of jade-heroics if it were chests that you acquired before jade-heroics got added. So its probably either low drop-rate (which tbh: 150 lockboxes is like.... a neglegible sample-size), or old lockboxes still use the old loot-table. which sounds plausible, considering you opened 150+ and it´s literally impossible to drop as many in just a few hours (which means, you either hoarded them, or bought them from TP, which under the assumption the "loot-table-theory" is correct, literally cannot drop them) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greymantle.9168 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 It makes sense that it might not be retro active to the loot boxes you already have horded away lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Custodi said, it wouldn't be the first time it only applies to new drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenesisII.1540 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Did you really expect to get a good drop rate on something "nice" in wvw? 12 years of black lion chests should tell you otherwise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think what he is saying any boxes you had previous to the patch won't have it, perhaps any boxes you get from now will have a chance to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonjelly.3742 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 It's in the 'preview' of opened boxes, but if it doesn't apply to previously obtained boxes, that's certainly something they should have put into the patch notes. I opened 500 and got 5 Officer's Remnant Cache's but zero Corrupted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiral.3724 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 The preview is showing that it is a Rare drop, the same section as the infusion and the Officer Remnant weapons. However, I have opened 400 boxes now and gotten 5 Officer Remnant weapons and ZERO Corrupted. If loot table is borked and they fix it later, imma be a bit miffed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since ANet doesn´t show is exact values, there´s no way for us to tell if the rates are actually the same for every item in the same category. that said: it seems like the loot-table at least got updated, because i also got a few boxes today and they stack. so the problem is most likely not having old vs new lockboxes, but there may not even be a problem at all. considering we have ZERO indicator on what the droprates actually are. (this is completely disregarding the fact, that RNG is also a thing. which basically means: even if the item has a 1% droprate, it is entirely possible to open 300 boxes and not get a single one, just the same as it is totally possible to only open 2 and have one in each. it is still a CHANCE, and to get even close to the droprate, whatever it is, you´d need to open thousands or more lockboxes to even remotely get a reliable result) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archmadao.9038 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 500 opened and finally got 1. Not worth when you can just get the ascended version if you have built up currencies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ember.8510 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 I was thinking the same but couldn't find the Mystic Forge recipe for the ascended version anywhere online so I couldn't tell. It seems like you know it though, would you mind please sharing what the recipe is? All I know from the patch notes is it includes the rare Hero's weapons.

archmadao.9038 Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Actually just posted it in a reply in another thread. I'll just copy/paste it below: Last tab of the skirmish supervisor in WvW look for Mist-Infused Jade Catalyst. That item + Hero Weapon + Grandmaster Mark shards + Emblems of the Avenger. I forgot the amounts but it was like 5 avenger and 15 grandmaster. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
