Improving your chance of getting a T3 drop?

[chopchop]

Does anyone know how to improve your chances of getting a drop during the faction T3s? I've done 2 so far (800 credits wasted ) and haven't gotten anything but crystals. It's majorly depressing getting 3-10 crystals after so much effort in getting all those credits.

Thanks,

Maddix

It's just up to luck.

I don't mind working hard for some good piece of gear, but some of those Faction NM drops aren't even worth the effort.

Lol yep, maybe we can experience the failure together next time.

i need to try this as i am 0-5 so far on them myself. anything to help. we may need to cut the head off a chicken/dodo before we try them and sacrifice them at the feet of the atherial node.

ok... Linking seems to increase the "level" of the chest
Which does seem to increase the chance for drops
This will be argued, obviously, and honestly it's not at all proven (Really tough to test actually)
But take it from someone who has gotten over 10 runes (Without using the former exploit)

There is a dev post that states that leve linking increases the chance for higher level chests in leves
Higher level (i.e. better looking) chests yield better loot
This seems to also hold true for the big runestone chests
Normally, people who don't have the leve get 2 crystals, but if the chest is the best looking one, everyone who doesn't have the leve gets 5 to 10 crystals and the people who did have the leve all got runes from those fancy chests...

Then again, I've heard if you link and the person who initiates the leve doesn't get anything, no one who linked does either. Happened to me once. Sucks x2.

Half linked, half unlinked.

Awesome. I'm definitely going to link my one attempt then. Lol.
