Forum:Chest roll spading

This discussion is related to the red and white weapons chests, with specific focus on those in New Haven for obvious reasons, for the purpose of optimization of the farming run.

Chest Rolls?
I've noticed particular patterns in the rolls of the various chests along the extremely popular "farming circuit" in New Haven. Generally, I run a course collecting five crates inside the settlement walls (2 red, 3 white), and I usually know what to expect in the crates (generally)... These are my casual assumptions: 1: white crates are leveled below the player/host level, with a cap that the player reaches around lvl 20-25. 2: The red crates generally have weapons/items leveled similar to red crates in other areas of the game that are not zone-dependent. 3:I believe that many of the crates are "biased" toward weapon types, but this could easily be mistaken, as it is purely from personal memory 4:Weapons/COMs seem to be class/proficiency-dependent. This is not surprising in the case of COMs, of couse, but chest content rolls seem to vary depending on player/host class (especially in the case of Eridian weapons). Unrelated & Untested: Possible level floor for the hidden vending machine??

I'm hoping to find some players interested in spading this out. My intended goal is to optimize the farming run here, especially when it comes to finding particular types of weapons/mods and improving the cost/benefit ratio of runs. Any input here would be appreciated. If you'd like to do some spading on this, please let me know on my talk page. 14:22, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
