Helltide - Mystery chest still worth it?

Hello do you think that Mystery chests are still good enough ?

They received two nerfs:

  1. costing 75 more to 250
  2. big nerf to amount of cinders that drop from mobs

I wonder if it is maybe not worth it anymore to go for them and instead focus for example Helm ones for Shako jackpot etc.

Thoughts ?

From my experience it was never worth it to begin with, but I suppose now Helltides are less annoying as I don’t have to trek to a specific chest to get a specific type of gear.

You are going to get 2 at most per helltide with the nerfs they made.

If i didnt need forgotten souls i would do helltides anymore.

TBH they weren’t worth the time when they were 175. sure they can drop up to 5 legendries but that means nothing with the way loot works in this game… they might as well just drop gold

i feel like im better off just opening another nmd.

helltides only if i need roses or something i guess.

them malignant tunnels better be fun… or the game is pretty much nmds only.

So maybe we will get cinders drops back. Still probably lower priorities for Mystery chests now.

But yeah I pretty much am of similar opinion to you anyway.

Do you fraking people look at all before posting… It wasnt fraking nerfed its a bug, Like posted 100 times below this and in the patch notes above.

I believe the mystery chest should cost more cinders (300+) than even the 250 and have it guarantee a non-class specific unique item. Currently it drops 3-4 useless legendary items that end up being trashed.

“It’s a bug!”

“Sorcerer class is now called Wizard. Fixing a bug!”

They can just claim that about anything. Having a ton of uniq Shakos drop from Helltide chests over an 8 hour span? That’s a bug that needs fixing. Adding more cinder requirements? This is a nerf.

Blizz is clearly driving people towards doing ony one activity as an “endgame”, and that"s nightmare dungeons.
They nerfed every other activity.

LOL just huh?

They did drop gold, they dropped 5 legendries that you sell to the NPC for gold.

The mystery chest was never worth it to begin with.
They’ve made it mandatory because it’s the only place to get forgotten souls which is needed to fully upgrade gear.

I wouldn’t be a salty if I had group finder to group up with people and make it less of a chore.
