Unique chests and pure magic ore blanks

September 11th, 2007, 07:31

!SPOILERS!

good items in G3 aren't random at all, there are about 60 chest's with unique
rewards, i assume that they are difficult ones without name above. I've completed G3 5 times and made it to item number 43 at my 5th time. Following items will allways come in same order and i wouldn't recommend reading them unless you really dont have anything else to do than chest hunting

01. Hashisin Knife 02. Hashisin Bow 03. Bone Bow 04. Rapier 05. Headhunter's Crossbow 06. Hashisin Sword 07. Composite Bow 08. Slave Death (crossbow) 09. Mercanary Crossbow 10. Skull Shield 11. War Bow 12. Blood Harvest (crossbow) 13. Bearded Axe 14. Katana 15. Paladin Sword 16. Ruby Blade
17. Wolf Ripper (bow) 18. Order Sword 19. Meat Axe 20. Ice Blade 21. Oak Bow
22. Cutlass 23. Nordmarian Sword 24. Warhammer 25. Army Bow 26. Ore Two-Hander 27. Rune Shield (propably best shield in game) 28. Horn Bow
29. Rune Sword blueprint (pure magic ore blueprint..1 of 3, dmg 105 )
30. Rhino Killer (crossbow) 31. Inquisitor (1h sword) 32. El Bastardo (1h sword)
33. Headman's Sword 34. Nimrod (bow) 35. Greatsword 36. Master Sword (master of two blades bonus skill) 37. Barbarian Battleaxe 38. Heavy Crossbow
39. Sword Of Ancestors blueprint (best 1h weapon in game, 120 dmg…can be maxed to 150 with sharp, bless, self-smith…had 2 of these myself …it naturally requires pure magic ore) 40. Rune Bow (2nd best bow, req 240 hunt) 41. Great Inquisitor (2h sword) 42. War crossbow 43. Power Of Ancestors blueprint (2h pure magic ore sword, requires 2 blanks, also last item i've found) 44. Demon Bow (best bow in game, req 250 hunt) 45. Berserker Axe 46. Krash Morra (tough looking crossbow with 200 dmg, best in game) 47. Berserker's Wrath (2h axe)
48. Wrath Of Innos (2h sword…best dmg in game, excluding overpowered Krush Tarach)

There are also several (propably 10-15) amulets in chests…mainly at 30+. So total number of those unique chests raises to fair 60

Also little about those pure magic ore blanks… 1 from kerth after liberating nordmar and ancestor tomb quests done (choose ore from rewards) and 1 random loot from difficult+ chest…opened 1 chest 45 times to get one so i prefer cheating

Interesting, I've noticed some of those, but I never saw a system. Of course, this leaves the question: How are you supposed to get two Katanas for the master sword blueprint, if there is only one in a special chest in every game? They certainly don't appear in regular chests.

I assume that it is some kind of bug. Maybe there should be bluebrint for katanas and it just didn't make it to release version, like that ??? skill. Also it's possible that there is
2nd katana somewhere, but i guess there isn't since i haven't heard anyone having 2 katanas. Been seeking answer for that Master sword blueprint for a while…

if you have the latest community patch 1.4 installed Angrar gives you a katana iif you win him in the arena of mora sul.

and btw I advice you to check out this thread: A complete guide to chests and their locations and much more. http://forum.jowood.com/showthread.php?t=138467

Magic chests (they are named "old chests" with community patch 1.4):
01. Scroll of Fireball
02. Amulet of Energy Defence (+20 energy)
03. Amulet of Fire Protection (+20 fire)
04. Scroll of Fog
05. Ring of the Hunters (+5 hunting)
06. Scroll of Summon Flamesword
07. Endurance potion (+4 endurance)
08. Amulet of the Hashishin (+10 life, +5 hunting)
09. Scroll of Frostwave
10. Scroll of Soul Travel
11. Concentration potion (+4 Mana)
12. Life Force potion (+4 life)
13. Ring of Combat Protection (+5 missile, +5 impact, +5 blade resistance)
14. Scroll of Open Lock
15. Scroll of Amnesia
16. Scroll of Heal Other
17. Amulet of the Druid (+10 life, +10 mana, weakness resistence)
18. Ring of Defence (+10 impact, +10 blade protection)
19. Hunting potion (+2 hunting)
20. Strength potion (+2 strength)
21. Amulet of the Paladin (+10 mana, +5 strength)
22. Ring of Magic Protection (+10 fire, +10 ice, +10 energy protection)
23. Scroll of Banish Evil
24. Amulet of the Hunter (+10 hunting)
25. Amulet of Strength (+10 strength)
26. Recipe for Hunting Potion
27. Scroll of Bless Weapon
28. Judge's Staff 80 damage
29. Amulet of the Thief (+10 thievery, +5 hunting)
30. Amulet of the Mage (+10 fire, +10 ice, +10 energy protection, +10 mana)
31. Scroll of Summon Golem
32. Amulet of Armor (+15 impact, +15 blade protection)
33. Amulet of the Hunter (+10 missile, + 10 endurance, +5 hunting)
34. Amulet of the Warrior (+10 impact, +10 blade, +10 life, +5 strength)
35. Amulet of Ironskin (+20 impact, +20 blade)
36. Druid Staff 30 damage (+25 life, +25 mana, Druid skill)
37. Staff of Magic 30 damage (+50 mana)
38. Staff of Fire (25 damage, Firemage skill)
39. Staff of Darkness (25 damage, Blackmage skill)
40. Staff of Water (25 damage, Watermage skill)
41. Blade Staff (70 damage, Staff Level 3 skill)
42. Staff of Power (40 damage, Mana Regeneration skill)
43. Staff of Protection 35 damage (+30 missile, +30 impact, +30 blade, +30 fire)
44. Staff of the Black Mages (40 damage, +50 mana, +40 energy protection, Blackmage skill)
45. Staff of the Water Mages (40 damage, +50 mana, +40 ice protection, Watermage skill)
46. Staff of the Fire Mages (40 damage, +50 mana, +40 fire protection, Firemage skill)

there are 4 more items in this sequence, but there are not enough chests in the game to get them without cheating.
47. Staff of Invulnerability (45 damage, +40 missile, +40 impact, +40 blade, +40 fire protection)
48. Staff of Domination (60 damage, Mana Regeneration skill, Firemage skill)
49. Staff of Death (60 damage, Mana Regeneration skill Blackmage skill)
50. Staff of Balance (60 damage, Mana Regeneration skill, Watermage skill)

theoretically, these items could be obtained by spawning either themselves, or more chests thru the cheating console-mode.
by spawning even more chests, random items from the finished sequence will start appearing.
same applies to weapon chests and their sequence of items.

RANDOM MAGIC CHESTS

(solid metal chests)

i

n this series of chest you might find (or not), besides the usual junk (= same content as every "metal chest"), one of these items:

- a large amount of gold (my amounts so far: 560, 779, 688, 671)
or
- Mage Staff – Staff of Sorcery (mana +25)
or
- Mage Staff – Staff of Defence (protection from fire +15, missiles +15, impact +15, blades +15)
or
- a pure magic ore blank
or
- a scroll among those: Summon Skeleton, Summon Golem, Time Bubble, Soul Travel, Army of Darkness, Hail Storm, Meteor, Fire Rain and some others, high-level spells

since the content is generated in the very moment of opening such chests, you can use reload to find the item you want, though it might take several reloads.

the number of these chests you open will not influence their content.

Don't waste your money on more RAM if you already have 2 gigs, use it towards a better video card.

after some time, i got tired of opening chests & eventually bought my weapons from NPCs.. particularly the Nimrod bow which cost about 30,000 gold..

Yep, its usually not worth it to go for the chests. A self forged bastard sword, a sharpened halberd, and Nimrod or Silent Death (sold in the desert) will suffice throughout the game.
