Skirmish: how?

[Renen]

Chimera + Giant combo is too strong!

[Chardrizard]

Definitely toned down abit but not by much or it could be because we brought alot of melee now so mobs dies way faster.

I didnt see the coffer pop myself, but the war obviously did & opened it & got the Sword in his loot list.

Like all coffers the loot does not go to the person who opens the chest it's utterly random. Please don't jump to conclusions.

[Goufunaki]

I used to think items went to whoever opened a chest until I did more group activities.

For skirmish, I was dead when another party member opened the chest, and the weapon went to me.

I actually prefer items randomly going to someone's loot list. Saves the trouble of having to lot for it.

the original loot system, I always liked it the best.

meh, that wasnt the point.

Was supsicious enough that the one person that opened it actually got the loot.
(Call it random if you like, but the rest of the party members didnt get squat)
it's a new loot system, unlike the primal ones.

They could have told us how it worked, it felt like waste of time...
just trying to get a new pickup group for it.

Just did Locke's and beat the treant with 4mins on the clock, but got two weapons, bow and cane.

Same mobs with all the same moves but they're definitely lower level than their dungeon counterparts. On the Coincounter mob for instance thunder spells were doing 50% more damage than on the AV version and 100-tonne swing does less than 3k damage with no defensive abilities up.

The Golem was annoying with it's random hate and near immunity to both physical damage and thunder spells but we cleared it first time with mostly pickups with over 10 mins to spare.

(never got the scene where Coincounter appear during Chimera fight like Chardrizard, I guess NM spawn by either timer or the previous one killed trigger).

It seems like it's both. We had some... Issues today during a run with the chimera next thing we knew the coin counter wanabe was just sort of there. he dropped a two handed 100 tonzs on us before we realized what the hell was going on.

If this occurs have some one grab him and kite him, He is a real easy kite just take a lap around the island while the rest of your team beats the stuffings out of chim.

But yes these skirmishes are all about a "safe" and easy way to learn some of the varied mechanics that dungeon bosses and other nm's have. I Personally plan on using the event to "Cut my teeth" on end game tanking.

Never ran Darkhold / AV / CC? Works just the same as any of those chests, it's nothing astoundingly new or complex.
