Chests

A big part of this game are chests, which provide essential loot required to progress. Chests usually reward gold and ores, common and rare equipment, skills, eggs and avatars. Rewards of higher rarity are hard to get and require much luck and grinding. Orb recipes can be obtained from wooden, golden and crystal chests. Gems are usually obtained from golden chests (5) as well as mythical chests (~30).

## Wooden Chest

***Drop rates:** unknown. Common, rare and epic loot.*

Wooden chests are mainly obtained in adventure and useful for new players. The rewards usually include common equipment and (presumably) skills. Good rewards such as epic equipment are also possible, but very unlikely. While the probabilities of the rewards are not known, wooden chests are by no means something to look forward to.

## Golden Chest

***Drop rates:** 69% common, 25% rare, 5% epic, 1% heroic.*

Golden chest is yet another underwhelming chest type. While they are valuable to beginners, they mainly reward gold and ores to advanced players. The reason being that they have a 69% chance to reward common loot, and if a player would receive a common skill but already unlocked them all, they get compensated with a few additional ores. Golden chests can also reward eggs, which inflates the loot table. This greatly reduces the chance of getting equipment and skills. It is not known if shiny eggs count as a heroic reward. Given that the chance of getting a heroic reward is only 1%, this would greatly reduce the chances of getting heroic equipment and skills from golden chests. Golden chests also reward avatars, which have no use other than giving players the ability to change their profile's avatar. This further reduces the chance of getting good rewards.

A reason that golden chests are not good could be that they can be easily farmed in Sacred Grounds. Active players easily farm 10-20 golden chests every day.

## Crystal Chest

***Drop rates:** 73% rare, 22% epic, 5% heroic.*

Crystal chests are an improved version of gold chests, but actually not that great either. While they are guaranteed to reward rare loot, they have a similar issue as gold chests. Another issue about crystal chests is that they are hard to get, mainly from leveling the hero, challenges and the weekly quest. They can also be farmed in Tower of Power, but this requires good equipment and much effort. Another way to get them is to buy them for 150 gems in the shop, but that is not recommended.

## Runic Chest

***Drop rates:** 74% rare, 22% epic, 4% heroic.*

Runic chests reward equipment and with enough luck, can be amazing. While much loot is mediocre, even if from epic and heroic rarity, runic chests are the best way to get new equipment. They are obtained from leveling the hero, challenges and occasionally Tower of Power. It has been confirmed that floor 31 is enough to have the chance of receiving runic chests, potentially even at lower floors. It is also an option to buy them for 100 gems.

**Note:** Due to the fact that one can not get duplicate equipment, it is recommended to not salvage rare, epic and heroic equipment ever, regardless of how bad it is.

* If a player obtained all equipment of a specific rarity and would get equipment of that rarity, they are compensated 100 gems instead.
* This implies that once all rare equipment is unlocked, players are essentially guaranteed to get epic or heroic equipment. The same logic applies once all rare and epic equipment is obtained.
* It is also important to keep in mind that runic chests can reward equipment obtainable from adventure, challenges and raids. This means that players should farm most equipment from the mentioned game modes before opening runic chests.
* There is a lot of equipment, including ~100 rare equipment, so it takes time to make this exploit work. Furthermore, additional inventory slots must be bought with real money.
* **This exploit will probably be patched in the future.**

## Mythical Chest

***Drop rates:** 80% epic, 20% heroic.*

Mythical chests are an upgraded version of runic chests and can only be obtained by spending 500 gems in the shop. While expensive, they are likely to reward good equipment. Due to the exploit mentioned in runic chest, it is technically much better to buy runic chests on the long run. Depending on future patches and updates, this may however change.

## Skill Chest

***Drop rates:** 50% common, 30% rare, 15% epic, 5% heroic.*

Skill chests reward skills and are a sought after, since some skills greatly help with beating content (quicker), as well as enabling to reach higher floors in the Tower of Power. If a player has all skills of a rarity unlocked and would be rewarded another skill of that rarity (from a skill chest), they receive a 80 gem compensation instead.

**Tip:** It is recommended to farm as many skills as possible from adventure and challenges before opening skill chests. This is especially true for epic skills, which can be farmed in adventure. Skills chests are rare and even more so getting epic skills!
