LK Screenshots Needed - Normal Chests

tldr version:

Please post your high rune drop screen shots from LK. I'm looking for normal objects, not the well know special chests, also include player settings.


Full version:

A few recent findings and a couple older discussions have made me wonder a bit more about the seed on normal objects. I'm beginning to suspect that they might also have a truncated seed and thus limited drops.

There are however 4 different drop types from normal objects and possibly further complications related to locked objects. This is not going to be as simple as the special chests because it is not easy to tell which objects are which types. In addition, since normal objects only drop a few items, there is a significantly higher chance that matching drops just happen to match, rather than originating from the same seed.

To investigate this further I need a bunch of screenshots from normal LK objects. If you've got them please post them along with the player settings that you were using. If you don't know the player settings, please post it anyways and simply note that the psettings are unknown.

To keep it somewhat reasonable, I want to stick to screenshots of Pul+ runes.

Thanks

Re: LK Screenshots Needed - Normal Chests

The Ohm/Lo from a corpse or a log is one that I think keeps repeating kinda often. I was wondering about a possible pattern there a while back myself.

Re: LK Screenshots Needed - Normal Chests

Here are my recent ones:

p3

Vex - corpse on log

p7

Vex - corpse

Vex - skeleton

Gul - regular chest

Gul - corpse

Mal - corpse on log



Hope they are of some assistance.

ill look for the other one for next week.

edit again, you know looking at that shot i seem to remember that the other one dropped all by itself.. but i might be making that up...

edit again this was players 8 sorry forgot that bit

Re: LK Screenshots Needed - Normal Chests

It would be tedious, but if you're ambitious you could pull quite a few from various sources out of the LK threads and compile it.

... And I've noticed the Ohms seem rather abundant too, though I was thinking that might be because they don't drop from the superchests, so any time anyone mentions an Ohm from LK my moderators-alarm-bells starts ringing.

Re: LK Screenshots Needed - Normal Chests

P3
Ber from Log

thanks for trying to figure this out jjscud

Re: LK Screenshots Needed - Normal Chests

Hmm, this one isn't LK but as special chests match across the act it they may too, even if not, that match themselves.

Lo from Meph (Steven Q Urkel)
Lo from Meph (Bad Boy For Life)

And I stumbled across a third the other day that matches too but I forgot where it was.

Re: LK Screenshots Needed - Normal Chests

A Gul from /p8 LK (99% sure)

 

[Friiser1]

Re: LK Screenshots Needed - Normal Chests

P3
Ohm from corpse (Friiser)

Thanks jjscud!

For a FYI - the gold and super mana potion in the pile with the OHM is what dropped from the body. I hadn't sorted out any of the pile prior to taking the screenie. I'm not sure if that is pertinent info, but I figured I'd state that in case it is.

Re: LK Screenshots Needed - Normal Chests

The Ber came from a normal container? Wow! My highest rune from a normal container is a Lem

Yes, skinyy (the dude in the 17k LK result thread) has some witch-doc theory about that the corpse by the bonefire is something spec.

I am a follower of that crazy religion! (and I didn´t bother hitting the bonefire corpse in my first say 6k runns)

Re: LK Screenshots Needed - Normal Chests

After running LK for a little bit and starting to pop things other than the superchests, it came to my attention that some poppables are static to the map (skeletons in huts, logs, some corpses) while others are randomly generated (like stashes in the huts that contain the superchests).

@jj: based on the information you've seen or even through a wild guess, does there appear to be variance in drops from static and randomly generated poppables? Meaning, is it better to hit the ones you always see, or would it be best to go out of your way to check the stashes that appear randomly?

I'd like to contribute with screenies, but the best drop I've had is a Lum from a constant corpse near the WP... twice.. on consecutive runs. Unfortunately, no screenshots exist to see if there's any correlation of the other items, too.

I haven't said it yet, but all your research for these rune drops in LK and RoF is incredible, and I'd consider it to be invaluable for the SPF community. Thank you for devoting so much time toward helping us all out. You're getting a nomination during the SPF awards for 2009. :wink:

Re: LK Screenshots Needed - Normal Chests

BTW what about act2 superchests (Summoner area has 3 (4?) on 3 ends?)
If Ohm/Lo would have multiple appearances, it could be worth it...

Basically, no. The functions that control how they drop are part of the data files and don't change. However, its tough to be certain that two things that look the same actually are the same, the special chests in LK are a perfect example. They look like other chests but the don't function like other chests.

But, beyond the special chests, I don't know of any one item with an advantage over another item.

Yet.

To match LK P3 on purely a per chest level, that would be 7 Lo's worth. That's not impossible, but it is unlikely.

On top of that, you've got to match (or make up for) the efficiency of hitting so many chests in so little time in LK. If there's 3 at each wing and you can hit them quick enough then its not out of the question and may be worth looking into.
