In an effort to avoid insanity I need to vent. Anyone else had major issues finding this thing in chests? Ive yet to farm during the Super Kupower active, but still have popped at least 300+ chests over the last 3 days.

If I have any questions for future crafting torque farming (still need all across both my accounts) it would be is this typical for each Torque/Belt from these brown chests? Should I literally plan to be farming these for the next couple months?

But really, just bad luck. I farmed another bone torque last month and got it within an hour.

rng sucks and yeah they can take awhile. Each is a little different also I'd pick up any you can get from bonaza's that offer them. Remember they are sendable to same account

I found a leatherwork one on my first chest. Goldsmithinf took me 4 days of a few hours each day...

It’s all luck. Once you are ready to give up... it drops

Working as intended. 1.5 weeks on alchemy torque for 5 hours a day. Netflix and liquor ftw. (Got rest from mog bonanza since they were listed on the website)

Night 4 in the books. Another shift from 5:30-10:45pm. Dozens of chests opened, zero Torques. *** YOU RNGesus! I refuse to give up, but I'll use this to vent and update my adventures in bad luck.

You may want to wait for the kupower and/or do GoV pages to get the chest drop rate increase to help your chances. It's just luck sadly. So good luck!

Yeah chest drop rate is probably your best bet. If you can get 5-7 chests per train then your chance would be a lot higher.

Ive been following this guide: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Crafting_Torque_Farming_Guide_by_Funkworkz

So ya, I havnt had the Super Kupower active yet, but Ive capped the FoV page bonus for the treasure chests every night and still no luck. It is what it is, but knowing this going forward I'm going to for sure farm during the Kupower when it does show up.

I think Id average about 2-4 gold chests per mob group spawn in the area Im farming in Outer H.R.
