The Hole - Exquisite Drop Rate? 3-box Instances?

Post by Canelek »

So after bouncing my level 86 3-man gimp team (SK, Illy, Defiler) off of the first boss in Erudin Library (I couldn't seem to heal my tank fast enough), I decided to fart around in the contested Hole area. Didn't try any named, as I am not going to really worry about that shit until I get them to 90 and gear up a bit.

Anyway, how's the metal box drop rate? I got quite a few Ornate and one Exquisite on trash. I figured since there were a few quests involving trash, I may as well grind em up for a bit. I didn't spend too much time though as it was late. Should I even bother with this zone for cash & prizes or should I try to get my 3-box group stronger for the lighter group instances?

No, I am not raiding. I also have very limited playing time, so groups are really not viable most of the time.

I'd love to be able to slowly work my way through an instance or 2 at my own pace! Is Library the place to start, instance-wise?

not really sure on the drop rates for metal chests, but it is definitely a faction grinding area. I don't remember ever running into other groups in those areas when we would be going for specific quests either.

Library is the easiest instance of the new ones. Once your chars reach lvl 90 you shouldn't have a problem handling it.

I have a few guildmates that farm the hole constantly for chest drops to transmute, so I think the drop rate is pretty decent.

Coolio, thanks!

Being able to enjoy the game in 15-minute intervals is challenging, but I think it is doable!

Transmuting FTW!
