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.

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

Added as a suggestion to the op

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

This.

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).

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

Small chance of a random blank green steel weapon/item on elite.

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

No, but for a .25% chance, it would be a nice bonus for someone when they do get one. I mean who doesn't want a free green steel light crossbow?

[dkyle]

Huh? You mean you don't know how to get the extra chests in Hard/Elite Shroud?

You see, when you're entering part 5 you gotta click just right...

Meh... I'd only run it for a Greater Crossbow.

Or maybe a Light Hammer! Can't even craft those blanks! My Kensai has been suffering without them.

[Eladiun]

I would be nice to see increased mat drop rates on hard and elite.

I think hard and elite for ALL quests should have higher chances to drop that quests specific loot. I mean, you ARE playing it on the hardest difficulty. It isn't our fault we can bypass 90% of the difficulty based on all the awesome variables we can cram into a group of 6.

Definitely signed.

Guarenteed ingredients in pt4 would lead to farming problems.

But we do need SOMETHING to make h/e runs worth doing.

I like the idea of all chests on h/e having a chance to drop Vale ingredients.

I like the idea of pt5 chests going from 1 guarenteed drop to say 1 +50% chance of 2 on hard, 2 guarenteed on elite

Ya i guess i wasn't all too clear when i said "Like part 4" what meant was more what you said 1 guaranteed with a second 50% on hard or second guaranteed on elite in part 5
