Loot From Optional Chests in Skelly Raid

[TheMaxpower]

I wonder if/when the loot from the optional chests in the Skelly raid will become available to purchase with runes. I hope soon.

Don't count on it.

Don't count on it.

Why not? They did the same thing with the feytwisted items from Dryad. I'd assume they will be available for 2500 a pop in the near future.

Unless they just forget about it, the special loot should be available for runes, just like feytwisted weapons are.

But they're not, and I'm not optimistic they ever will be.

It's not exactly like SSG have had a chance. There hasn't been a patch since the secret ending was discovered, and obviously they wouldn't have done it beforehand since they were trying to keep the whole thing a secret and a second set of raid loot appearing out of nowhere and never dropping would have given the game away.

The Feytwisted items were around for two months before we got the option to purchase them directly. Give the game some time to catch up.

(At any rate, the raid loot from the secret ending is much easier than Feytwisted stuff to get, since you're not having to rely on luck for the right chest even spawning and there are three different chests with named loot drop chances.)

Crikey Eeyore they have not released a patch since the ending was sorted out - glass half full and all that!

Dryad twisted is 100% pure luck to spawn, though. Extra cost makes sense for that. Extra cost makes no sense for Yarrow.

IMHO, if they add bonus-chests with a unique item list and want to keep those items exclusive to people who spawn them, the bonus chests should use a different rune system; eg. vecna runes and yarrow runes.

Totally, cause what we really need is multiple currencies in one raid.

Given enough time, DDO will probably end up with a unique currency for every item in game.

I really hope the next game update/patch adds the loot from the optional chests to the list of items you can buy with runes, even if it costs 2,500 runes.

Pretty please? There is precedent for purchasing special raid loot for extra runes (ie, Dryad raid and Fey Twisted Loot). I purchased so many raid bypass timers I may have to file for Bankruptcy.
