Paragon Chests?

[Psymon]

So How rare are these Paragon chests? I've killed quite a few Paragons.. Never a chest..

Seem to be about 1/3 of the time, maybe 1/4 of the time. I don't know if the chests scale with the difficulty of the mobs, but usually it's just some gold, regs, and 5-10 pieces of magic armor (vendor sell for maybe 5k). The chests themselves are cool to collect if you get fun colors

 

[Psymon]

I've easily killed 30 Paragons since I've started playing... Various levels... Not 1 chests.. I assumed they were ultra rare.

Not too rare. From what I know it's the only source of platinum. I'd say closer to 1 in 6 then 1 in 3.
You've just gotten unlucky

RunUO default is 10%

 

[Psymon]

I killed about 5 more Paragons today... 0 chests.. I'm somewhere in the area of 35 without a chest.. Some guys got all the luck....

 

[Snickle]

I pvm a lot but I'm mostly after taming $$'s...
I kill lots of paragons during this and just continue on. 10% could be correct. Just don't pay enough attention.

 

[xodustrance]

weve killed about 23 paragons (wife and I) and we have 6 chests.

Very unlucky then.

If the chance is 10% to get a chest and you've killed 35 paragons... then (0.9)^35 = 0.025. So, only a 2.5% chance of not getting at least 1 chest with 35 chances. Statistics is a fickle *****.

You can also get platinum for winning staff hosted pvp events .

I'm beginning to believe Paragon Chests are a myth..

Probably impossible but..wouldn't it suck if it was a glitch in your client and they were on the monsters body but you couldn't see them. !

 

[Psymon]

Getting to 95 is easy. After that it's a pain in the ass.

You can get to 95 with lockpicker tinker crafted training box set macro to 95 In 2 nights flat. You can open all chest level 3 , 4 , 5 at 95. You only need 100 skill for the level 6 paragorns chest with items and t maps worth like 50k from these mobs....

Threadomancy because I've killed 30+ paragons without a chest; are they programmed not to drop off paragons that now spawn from tmaps?

I got 2 chest from 6 maps the other day. So they do drop on map paragons.

They most definitely spawn off paragons from t-chests. I killed 25+ halloween spirits with no chest during halloween. Then I did 3 t-maps and ended up with 3 halloween chests in a row. I go weeks without getting a chest sometimes, and one day I get a whole gang of them. Statues are the same for me too.
