    6 Days in Tor Canal. A total of 8 Brown Caskets. Managed to open 6 of them. Not a fucking thing of value.

    These casket drop rates is just god awful.

    What are you killing? TW mobs have a much lower drop rate than VTs, in my experience.

    I've been doing Page 8 of GoV. It's 8 Flume Toads and 2 Porogagos or w/e. I'm pretty sure they are not TW.

    EP monsters have a lower chest drop rate than VTs too. XP is proportional to drop rate somehow. Are they strong?

    Toads were like T-VT to me@90, and Poroggos I definitely had check IT. They are most assuredly the highest level monsters in Toraimarai.

    I dunno then. By the time I got level 4 Caskets I was seeing about a 30% chest drop rate from T/VTs in the CN basement, down to about a 10% chest drop rate when I Aeolian Edge killed all the TW/EP beetles in the basement. I seem to remember the first level of Casket detection was a huge improvement.

    I just got a Field Torque out of Gusgen Mines.

    The first brown casket I got, after a week off-and-on farming for a Prouesse Ring in Zeruhn and not getting jack. Thanks for giving me what I really wanted, SE!

    Also spent about 30 hours in Zeruhn by now with no luck, only level 3 discovery. Can't say I feel higher level mobs have any better chance as sometimes I'd hop over to the weak mobs and one-shot them for a bit, usually getting 1 chest out of the lot, often 2. I'd be wary basing numbers on AoE farming since we don't know if the casket system is subject to the -aga nerf SE added years back.

    Had the same Experience for Fisher's Torque Inda >_>

    Spent 3 Days there, 2 Days actually there from being awake to going to sleep, Had level 5 Casket Discovery for 2 of the days, Took like 3 skills from White > Blue (Including Club from 234 to 354...), opened around 60-70 Brown Caskets, still no Fishers torque.

    Like 100k-to-NPC Worth of Ethers, Pro-Ethers, Hi-Potions, X-Potions, Potions, Elixirs, Etc... No Automaton Parts (Of course not, I could actually use those), etc.

    Eventually i just gave up and left, 3 days is too long to spend on that.

    I hate this system so much. This is 800x worse than even Herder's Subligar.

    ended up buying melaco mittens after plowing through over +1.5-2k monsters np with my amano and lv5 casket discovery rate over the last two days or so

    while i'm certain i ran into at least ~50 gold boxes, it's still rather ridiculous when you account the kill:boxdrop ratio =(

    After about 3 days in Fei'Yin I finally got my shield. It was less than 10 minutes after teaming up with 2 other people level synced to 63 and only having level 1 treasure casket discovery.

    Got a Prouesse Ring while soloing with NO Kupowers up at all (during the tablet hunt period), lv1 casket discovery, and about 15ppl in zone. It just seems completely random.
