Extra chests in Hard/Elite Shroud

[killerzee25]

Everyone runs shroud on normal, why? because there's no benefit to running anything else. Aside from the odd favor run of elite shroud nobody runs anything harder because there's no reason not too.

Adding a extra chest with 50% chance at a large ingredient (Like part 4) on hard and an extra chest with a 100% chance of a large ingredient on elite would give people a reason to run the shroud on something other then normal

Think of raids like hound.... there's actually a decision to be made before entering. You can go for the easy completion on normal or go for hard or elite and have a chance for an elusive +3 tome.

Note: My suggestion is not necessarily the extra chest, its more a suggestion that shroud needs an incentive to be run on hard and elite, the chest idea was just and easy way to accomplish this. If anyone else has any suggestions on incentives that should be added post them and i can add them to the main post along with mine.

Suggestions:

Maybe instead of extra chests (do we really need more than 12?) have the ones that are there now have a chance to drop Greensteel ingredients (Chipmunk Funk, etc.) and/or +3 Tomes, and additional chances for large mats (as OP suggested, guaranteed in Part 4 chests on Elite)

/agree.

We already see higher chances for drops in other raids on higher difficulties.

I like this suggestion. Better loot instead of more chests with vendor junk.

Added as a suggestion to the op

If there are more chests they need to put in another place to sell gear inside the quest...

As i said originally I'm not necessarily suggesting more chests be added I'm suggesting a reason to run Hard/Elite shroud. For example the second chest in part 5 with trash loot could be changed to include ingredients on Hard/Elite

2 extra chests at the end, 2 extra chances of Larges. Or more Bones to build my dinosaur with.

This suggestion could apply to the five flagging Vale quests as well. Hardly anyone ever runs those on anything but normal as well. Why should they? There's no reason to make it more difficult when the only reason we're there in the first place is to farm for mats (and maybe get a little XP if you're below level 20).

Running these on Elite is great XP. And the extra 12 favor doesn't hurt.

This^^

Plus vale quests on hard+elite have a chance to drop +2 tomes in chests while on normal they don't.

[Tembyr]

I am pretty sure I pulled a +2 tome on normal from one of the end chests. I remember, because I ended up with two +2 tomes after that shroud and one was (and only one can be) from the end reward list.

You can pull +2's from Shroud on normal. I have, and then Harry broke it. I guess he doesnt like books. O.o

[Tembyr]

Yes, he broke my +2 dex tome. But I brought it to the smith who repaired the book. I suspect he made up most of the text on the lost pages, but it still worked.

What about in normal you get the last chest with 100% chance of a large, then hard you get 1 large 100% and 1 large 50% and in elite you get 2 larges 100% and 1 large 50%. That is only on the last part.

For:
- more larges
- some +3stat tomes

Extra end chest(s) on elite is also aproved.

Dude there is an extra chest, you have to hit the portal in the middle.

In the last group I was in they had already drawn that out to 30+ seconds when my bordom kicked in and I clicked. People "got mad" and then the new guy freaked on the group "I didn't do it!" and people attacked him more thinking he was just being defensive... It was actually kind of funny. At least more funny than that joke ever was.

[Hafeal]

I agree there should be a benefit to running Hard & Elite. A chance for Extra Larges, or perhaps an increase in the chance of certain larges, +3 tomes, and hey, throw in a chance for Huge bags whilst your at it!

Running these on Elite is great XP. And the extra 12 favor doesn't hurt.

So you run it ONCE on elite for XP and favor, and ONCE on hard for XP.... then 18-100 times on norm.

And considering the favor isn't very valuable... overall, not even worth the effort most of the time.
