Unbound Spoils is very poorly designed and barely ever works

Those not aware - What is an “Unbound Spoils”? - It is a war mode only crate that spawns every 6 hours in 1 of the 4 zones, in a non-predetermined pattern meaning it can be twice in a row in Isle of Dorn or Isle of Dorn into Hallowfall back to Isle of Dorn etc. There is no way to accurately track it other than knowing it is every 6 hours on the 7 and 1 hour mark PST. 7 AM and PM PST and 1 AM and PM PST.

There are a few achieves tied to these, 2 for opening a number of them and 1 for opening in each zone. 5 people can loot it (allegedly, this is also a bug) and then it despawns. it will also despawn after 10 minutes regardless.

HOWEVER, all of the above are bugged and have been since beta. Sometimes it never spawns in any of the zones and it’s another 6 hours before you roll the dice to get it. Sometimes it does spawn but can’t be looted. Sometimes it spawns, 1 person loots it, and it despawns before 4 others can loot it. Sometimes it spawns, gets to it’s location, and then despawns immediately.

It has been bugged and broken since beta and there has been 0 attempt to try and hotfix it or make it better.

It is the only way in game to obtain a Jeweler’s Setting for PVP gear aside from spending 3 bloodstones and 5k honor at the vendor (which is very time consuming to farm or expensive to buy in the stone case) and you can only obtain 1 setting from the spoils per week.

But with all of the bugs associated with the spoils, there is a possibility you just don’t have a chance at obtaining that weekly setting.

So what you’re saying is it’s not the only way to add sockets to pvp gear. You just don’t like the other option.

The entire post about something that has been bugged and broken since beta and this was your takeaway. That is incredibly sad.

This spawned about an hour ago in Ringing Deeps and there was mad fighting over it. Before your post I don’t think I’d ever seen one.

Sadly, I was dead before I could open it and tried several times. I was also dead for two minutes while the regular supply crate spawned across the map. :neutral_face:

Gave up on them forever. Have partial credit on Slightly Spoiled but the Spoiled Goods achieve is so fubar’d it didn’t trigger. Screw these things, I’d rather send alts into Comp Stomp to bank up honor points for bloodstones.

It’s stupid how broken these are and how it’s just another WPVP objective where the answer is forming a group.
