Dragon Artifact Chest is RANDOM: Confirmed by Opening on Live Server

^The Dragon Born Chest when opened presents you with a random of the 3 possible weapon options, not a choice you can make on your own.

I don't know if I was the first to complete the task on live, but the concrete answer is buried in another thread, inspiring the creation of this post.

Good luck to any and all who seek these powerful items in hopes of getting the one he or she wants before the double RP weekend.

    Now, the question is if you can use weapon artifacts to refine other weapon artifacts (if so, doesn't matter if you get the one you want before the 2x RP weekend...just farm up the RP for when the one you want drops).

    Based off the refining tables, It wouldnt be worth much RP anyways. (unless the artifact weapon works like actual artifacts, like purple bloodraven into bloodraven, confirm on this would be interesting)

    Artifact equipment uses the Item Refinement interface. Any identified equipment that has a minimum required level of 60 can be used to empower artifact equipment. Main hand equipment gives double RP to artifact weapons. Belt equipment gives double RP to artifact belts. Refining stones can also be used.

    Uncommon equipment 100
    Rare equipment 300
    non-tier Epic equipment 450
    tier 1 Epic equipment 575
    tier 2 Epic equipment 650
    [Minor Resonance Stone] 500
    [Lesser Resonance Stone] 2,500
    [Resonance Stone] 5,000
    [Greater Resonance Stone] 12,500

    Dont know how accurate this wiki entry is.

    TY for the verification OP though.

    Out of interest, did you get a weapon that matched either of your at-wills?

    is it possible to redo the "quest"?

    Looks like it's redoable, since you can get multiple dragon bones and bits and bobs. So, take that for what you will.

    Awful awful design choice.

    With as easy as bones, rubies and ingots are to get, I don't really see how. If we had to wait days for some of this stuff then I would agree.

    Are they BoP?

    Control and J says yes. I think that mystery is easy to solve.

    Not really those materials, its having to do these grindsome boring dailies even more after you've already done them a dozen times for a week and have spent 20k ad on this.

    More waiting, more time-gates. How about introduce a difficult 10-man dungeon that requires coordination and teamwork but have good rewards?

    are the bones and gems easy to get?

    Bones can be gotten over time with drake kills, also from the dungeon skirmish chests, but they're still rarely dropped. They're reasonably cheap anyway. The gems are more limited atm, I managed to get 2 in not so many runs but I may have been lucky.

    So far I got [Arcane Eye of the Golden Dragon] and [Chilling Eye of the Golden Dragon] and I still need the one I want... So making my 3rd weapon now. Its a really stupid system.. And I cant unlock the dungeon because everytime I get the wrong weapon, I have to use my sigils to try again..


    And btw, using one weapon artifact to refine other ones gives 3000 RP on lvl 1. And If you put 2500 RP in it, it gives you 5040 RP. So you actually lose RP doing that.

    This.

    RNG says you could theoretically pull 1,000 weapons and never get the right one.

    Oh, awesome. I thought the one possible salvation in pulling the wrong weapon for your build could lie in being able to get a bonus out of using it for refining like with matching artifacts. Rotten system. Thanks for the heads-up.

    Assuming the chances of the 3 weapons is equal, the probability of that particular outcome is small, it's virtually zero.

    Second artifact, still the same, and I don't want it.

    Seriously, i'm not gonna do that every times. This game is really trying to make me quit.

    Or if you look at it another way, assuming enough people are playing and making them the chance that it will happen to someone is virtually 100%. (Note we don't have enough players for this to happen, partially because I don't think there are enough people on the planet, it's a stars in the universe type of number, because you can make statistics about "virtually 100% or 0%" lie)

    Another empty "Trying to be smart" comment...

    It does make sense for it to be random actually. Maybe it does not make sense for the individual or the community, but it makes sense for someone... And that someone isn't a player.

    I got one two days ago and was first upset to see it did not give me a choice to choose which of the three. But I'm assuming by luck, it gave me the one I was wanting. I'm a straight up de-buffing/healing cleric and it gave me the one that gives bonus healing from Astral Seal (10%-20%-30%-40%).

    Also, is it confirmed that u can dump one refined artifact weapon into another and get all the RP you invested into it?

    I upgraded the first one i got, which isnt the one i want, to rare quality while im waiting on the next one coz i really needed stash space (had it full of epics i was saving up for refinement).... hope i havent just thrown away alll those rps.
