Excelsior Hunting Event - January 2015

[apocalypse]

Has anyone actually found a treasure troll chest? It seems they are rare or I'm just incredibly unlucky.
Just want to know if its worth spending hours searching for, compared to what the contents of the chest is.

They are not easy to find for sure. To increase your chances you can always run around with control shift pressed. And yes, I have come across one this year so they are out there.

The chests do appear to be very rare. I have found a few during the event but I have spent hours and hours running around. I currently have several keys so if anyone has a spare chest and they want to swop for a key then let me know. PM Criv in game.

You guys are just having bad luck,im sorry i did the quest for a few days and did find a chest, and even 2 some times, every day (went for a total of 7 chest/key combo). But yes, it requieres scouting, and going nuts about it but... aint that the fun of it? at least it was for me.

Well good to know there out there haha.
What is the loot like though, is it worth searching for them?

They typically contain around 23k of gold, a few k of tokens, a few stains of durability and a few gems. If you are lucky then you could get a uni tub too

Has the winner been announced yet?

Has the winner been announced yet?

Well, considering the event doesn't end until the 12th, plus the 3-day turn-in period before calculation....I'd say no.

Upate on what the prizes for winners and participants are going to be?? I think it
Was said earlier that it was to be announced during the last week
Of the event but im wondering now if they have to wait and see how many
Ties there are and how to handle them. One suggested a do over for those that tie, i would rather follow
+N's line of logic and just award it to the first that existed on the shard
But either way curiosity is bout to eat me up lol. Great job on the event as i stated before
Just my 2 cents

[+Veritas]

The hunting event is now closed. Also, the turn-in period for submitting your trophy has been extended to Feb 17th at 8:00 shard time.

Thank you,
