[Resplendent chest] Farming act 1 watchtower

[Jakarutu2951]

+rep good tip
So far I got Natalya's head... my first set item found... but it didnt drop from chest, it dropped from a mob I killed on the way.
But to stay on the subject, a lot of good yellows, a couple o' high dps blues! and a lot of good selling blues.

A few things to note. I know 1 hour of farming a single spot is not good chunk of time. However I wanted to get some numbers crunched and posted before the thread potentially fell into oblivion. Also, my MF isn't especially high. Only 150 or so with just MF gear equipped. My runs were also a bit slower as I was running a WD VQ/Bear build to burn the elites quickly.

Out of 10 runs, I saw 5 towers. Out of these 5 towers, only 4 had resplendent chests. The other tower had a merchant event called "The Scavenged Scabbard" The merchant did not carry anything noteworthy for me.

Out of these 10 runs, I collected 64 blues and 7 yellows. Along the way I also killed 3 treasure gobs. There was also numerous potion and gem drops along with 27 tomes.

I made a total of 72,811g off of gold drops and vendoring items.

I only saw a very small number of AH worthy items. The vast majority of the loot collected was 50-57 junk that had no real use. However the items will make it should put this run to a total profit of about 300k. That's not all that bad for just an hour.



I'll keep track of my stats at this spot when I come back online later tonight, and likely post an update.

Yellow = Resplendent Chest
White = Normal Chests
Red = Champ/Elite Packs

Hope it helps a little.
Screenshot 1 - 3x NV buff, from the normal chests i got 2 blues from all 3, from the resplendent chest i got 1 rare & 4 blues.
Screenshot 2 - 3x NV buff, from the normal chests i got no blues but ~3k in gold, from the resplendent chest i got 3 rares + 1 blue (RNG ftw :P)

On an un-related topic, there's a happy fellow (Vendel) here that you can get a mini-quest from, i found him on the following map layout, hopefully you'll get lucky
