Disclaimer : I call exclusive skins :and new skins :
Hey, I’ve been chestrunning Tasca’s Demise ever since the new update with the exclusive/new skins to see if it could be profitable on top of the SSS/SWS/Magma/Raven drops
TLDR : if you’re just looking for the exclusive/new skins, this is abysmal
Quick explanation of the run, exit from Granite Citadel with quest Defend the Forge from Glint in Droknar’s Forge (kneel at the altar for her to appear), do the /resign trick to speed up the following runs (enter the area, walk back to the portal and exit again to then respawn at the gate once you /resign)
Look at your left if a chest spawned obviously go and grab it where I put red dots (you’ll also see if one spawned at the end of the other red dots) then run back, if not continue the normal route until you encounter the brute titan group, make sure you take aggro of the summit group beforehand and pull them into each other, then DC to the caster titan and proceed until the end of the route
Each run can net you 0 to 4 chests (both are very rare and happened only a couple of times), the average being 2 or 3
The build I use : OwZSg4PTHQSf6M4OIQ3lNQ0k
A +10pierce shield helps
Now for the juicy data, I opened 420 chests and tracked the following drops : Armor (gold and purple), SSS/SWS/Magmas (gold and purple) Ravens/Exclu skins/New skins (gold only) and Elite/Normal tomes
And btw ALL my shields have been single mod :)))
The result is the following :
· 98 gold armor and 33 purple armor (2 sup vigor, 2 maj vigor, 4 prodige, 7 sup dom, 9 blessed)
· 2 SSS : Gold 1 TAC11 / Purple 1 TAC12
· 9 SWS : Gold 1 TAC10 + 1 TAC12 / Purple 1 TAC10 + 4 TAC12 + 2 TAC13
· 8 Magmas : Gold 2 STR9 + 3 STR12 + 2 STR13 / Purple 1 STR12
· 3 Ravens : DOM9 10hct / ILLU11 20sickness / 13COM naked
· 4 New skins : Death head DM12 9hct / Storm ember EM11 dual mod / Fox greed HP13 single mod / Quicksilver ILLU12 single mod
· 1 Exclusive skin : Chimeric Prism FC12 single mod
· Elites tomes : 21
· Normal tomes : 14
Long story short, the stats are roughly around 2,5 % to 3 % to get a Gold SSS/SWS/Magma/Raven and 0,2 % to get an exclusive skin so clearly you should look elsewhere if your goal is to get your hands on one of those (my best guess would be farming instead of chestrunning, on mobs that don’t have a specific weapon droptable)
Fun fact, the armor drops at roughly 25 % and here it netted me around 300k worth of runes which more or less paid for all the lockpicks that were used, so this chestrun is money back guaranteed, so come and gamble !! (until your sanity eventually melts like a flan that was pulled out of the fridge and forgotten on the kitchen counter)
Take it easy and happy running
Rip
