this is an epic (purple) chest from getting a paragon after maxxing rep with the severed threads.
162 gold 73 silver? that’s it. yikes.
when the brimming and overflowing chests from DF became anything but brimming and overflowing that was bad enough. they were much better for most of the xpac.
this is even worse. i wouldn’t fly to the other side of dorogal for 162 gold
I assume the general’s and vizier’s troves will be just as bad. MAYBE the severed threads trove will be better?
perhaps calling it a small bag of coins instead of a “trove”.
I got 4 Rank 2 Algarii Mana Potions. Current AH price 100G total. actually less than the 1st one.
Each completion does give you 2500 rep with The Severed Threads, but rep is useless if the “final” Paragon Chest doesn’t have a BIG reward to make up for the disappointment of the 1st 3 troves.
I will update next week after i see the general’s and the “overflowing” one after. overflowing used to mean something once upon a time.
The word trove comes from the Anglo-French phrase tresor trové, which is rooted in the Old French word trover, meaning “to find”. It was first recorded in 1885–90 and is short for “treasure-trove”. People misunderstand trove as being a large collection of something. A trove can be as small as a few candy bars in a drawer, or something the size of what Nick Cage found in National Treasure. As for free gold… sign me up
if you prefer, we can discuss why the chest is purple-epic in color. trove is most commonly used today as meaning a big haul. If those hypothetical candy bars contained a very rare golden ticket to get in willie wonka’s chocolate factory that would be a big haul.
How people interpret it, vs its actual definition is a wide gap. I’m more or less trying to remind folks that sometimes the actual definition sets the expectation
Ya,
I took one of the rep rewards from the weekly where you can choose to put me over the top for a paragon chest.
The quest handed out 2500 rep for something else, but the chest was… Underwhelming.
If it’s like previous expansions, there’s some really rare rewards, usually a pet, that over the course the expansion become so common you can’t sell them for 15g on the AH years later.
don’t bother, maybe he will research the etymology of the word “new” and refer to something newer than 130 years ago.
moving right along, the general’s and the severed threads troves were MUCH better. lots of kej, stone, crests and about 1.6k gold from the Threads one.
It’s almost as though they added rewards with the patch this week, when there wasn’t anything in the loot tables before.
