Treasure and other things

I’d love to see treasure chests hold more valuable mats, and items you’ll want to fight over the treasure chest, possibly gold.

Also it would be great if fishing lockboxes would hold even better things/gold.

As stated in the name treasure should be better than greys and other garbage

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
Yeah it’s kinda cliché.
But I’m fine with how they are.
Makes finding something special pretty exciting.

Someone’s rolling a Dorf, I can feel it.

I’ve always thought, The effort to get to the chest is not worth the items that’s in the chest. So typically I would pass on getting any chest.

That’s exactly why it should be more valuable, you should WANT to open it

I’ll wait and see if this changes.

eh at higher level you easily farm them for twink goodies to post on the AH.

I’ve never found the “new” AH to be useful. I’d rather have the classic format which is easier to navigate.

New AH? SoD has the Classic Era AH.

Sorry. Should have been more clear. Retail AH way to confusing. Let’s hope you’re right about the classic format AH set up for SoD

Right. Season of Discovery will have (unless they change it just for SoD) the same AH in HC, SoM, Era and original Classic. 1.15 didn’t change it.

Chests used to drop much better items. Similar to how locked chests always drop a green.

Unfortunately botters farmed the locations, and rogues farmed the chests inside dungeons. So Blizzard had to either remove the chests (which they did in wotlk) or remove the good loot.

Or made them much, much rarer. I’d have accepted that trade-off. Or perhaps you found treasure map pieces instead like Tanaris, and had to gather them up to loot the treasure.

That’d be great.
Better than bringing food to a fat ogre like an enabler.
Though Lard does give nice stuff in return.
Same for that broken dude in Blasted Lands.

Are there non-fat ogres?

Maybe not all are living a 600+ lb life.
Let’s not assume.

Hey, I don’t want to mention who’s body shaming here.

cough

Dude.
Lard isn’t even mobile.
He’s on the floor in the inn. Not able to get up.
Yeah he had his story about dropping his lunch and running away. Really?

Thanks. Now I feel worse about enabling.
I’m worried about his health.

Farming map pieces for trade in goods would maybe be cool. Or make a map and go to the hidden location to receive your reward.

Point is even high level boxes my friends and I aptly call “scam boxes”

I always liked the little treasures they added in mop. Really added to the leveling experience, and felt like there were undiscovered things in the world again. They ended up being a little too formulaic (especially where location is concerned), but the idea was there.

I dont think I’ve seen anything but hot garbage in an open world chest since 2004 when I pulled a Searing Blade out of the one in Redridge up near the orcs.
