What is the rarest item(s) that you have obtained?

Frogzard Helm , Determined Cape , 2 Golden Dire Wolf Pieces and my perma rare capes from heromart.

I have the stake/red dragon armor/vorah dagger/the plain sword from doomwood chest. (but for me they're all trash.)

 

Well I did get Midas' Curse this early morning today. In the process of farming for it, I farmed around 3.1 million gold, slain over 8,000 chests, and farmed over 30,000 Health Potions and 30,000 Mana Potions (most of which I've either consumed or deleted for inventory management). Probably the hardest grind item in-game so far.

 

Well that grind was pretty good considering you wouldn't have left empty handed either way because all that gold and potions accumulated to high amounts while grinding.

 

Just basically, I have Artix Special Friend Scythe and Dragon Spinner. Frozen Core sword frostval 2017 and some heromart bought items.

 

Frozen Core isn't really that rare to be honest, it's just a hassle to farm for it because that dungeon is just so slow to farm and it's a seasonal dungeon.

 

I doubt that they were forgotten about. I think that they will be released again at some point, maybe during zone reworks.

 

Items like Soulborne Axe, Doom Ripper, and Traveler's Pack should be easier to farm now that dungeon keys are removed. Because of that, I want to say that Midas' Curse and A Frogzard Ate My Head are objectively (in terms of average rate on a scale of many players farming) harder to obtain.

 

Dungeon chest items are not easier to farm, you just don't have to wait for those keys to recharge to get back to farming. Midas' Curse and A Frogzard Ate My Head are easier to farm because you are always guaranteed to have a chance at getting it, but when farming dungeon chest item what you mentioned are tied to Rare Chests and those are not guaranteed to appear each time you run a dungeon.

 

I would argue that they are easier to farm, because players can be as wasteful of their dungeon keys now, only searching in dungeon parts that have chests in them. You don't have to worry about having x number of keys, or having to be conservative of how you use your dungeon keys anymore. It's easy to search the dungeon, leave the dungeon, and search again as opposed to making every key count by running through all of the dungeon parts. Sure, the rare chest spawn rate didn't change and the drop rate didn't change, but what did change is how people approach hunting for the items.

 

People do run dungeons just the same back then as they do now, why just can run them more times without having to wait or pay DCs to get keys to continue. It wasn't any harder either because you will pretty much get to see most of rooms with just 20 keys or less. People used alts to get around dungeon keys and use them as spotters. Only thing that has changed is the fact that we don't use any keys anymore.

 

To an extent, yes, they used alts to scout for chests or find other means of making searching in dungeons less of a hassle, but it was still a hassle nevertheless, and I would say that the hassle did make obtaining the items more of a challenge. The removal of keys made it less of a hassle; therefore, making the items easier to obtain by making dungeons fully unlimited. When people used alts to scout for chests, those alts had to find ways to circumvent dying easily from monsters or had to traverse with the lack of a form that would make travel quicker. Otherwise you'd have to wait each day and spend about 8 dungeon keys, or have friends invite you whenever they find a rare chest. Now, people can just enter those dungeons on their main character with ease, and without fear of losing dungeon keys or relying on other slow methods.

 

It's still a hassle to find rare chests because well, they are RARE. It's not that time consuming to level an alt that can do dungeons well enough even back then.

 

That's true to a certain extent (like with Greenguard and Doomwood Rare Chests), but I find that leveling up a bunch of alts is very time consuming, especially getting the best gear for them, and this mainly applies to Shatterskull Tower more than anywhere else since the tower is level locked and you'll likely end up doing more dungeon runs because you will never find 2 chests in 1 room whereas you may find 2 in Umbral Caves, and you'll have to battle a lot. In other words, you'd have to have a lot of dedication by creating a ton of alts if you want the farm to be as efficient as possible.

 

Not that much dedication really because leveling is way easier what it used to be. Getting decent gear isn't that much of a problem either. Chest spawns is about game of chance and most dungeons that have them have higher chance to have chests in them because they are GUARANTEED to at least have one room with spawn areas for them. Shatterskull Tower is bit different because you are not GUARANTEED to find a room with chest spawns every run compared to all other dungeons with chest spawns thus making finding rare chests or any chests more difficult.

 

The only rare items I have are my shadow wolf transformation and my Crystal Gauntles

 

Crystal Gauntlets aren't really that difficult to obtain, it takes few kills at best.

 

Personally the rarest item i've ever received was the dire wolf gloves, other than that I basically have most of the rares in aq3d.

 

I have a lot of rare (or low drop rate) items.

Instead of listing them all, i will list the ones I don't have.

The more popular ones i dont have are:
- Frogzard Ate my Head,
- Hunter's Stake

Less popular ones, but still need to farm and has some difficulty getting them
- multiple of heavy dragon rider equipment (so i can upgrade them to the other colors)
- chitin piercer (i dont know the drop rate, but it is listed as awesome on wiki)
- vile terrortoma sickle (no idea why, but i just can't get the drop)
- ogreman's cleaver (probably not rare, just a hard to kill boss)

 

i've tried farming rdp, sba, and midas curse. was a mistake to not try to get easier rares because now i have no motivation to farm them. so i have no rares
