Is Adamantine Gauntlet broken?

I have 1 of my 6 characters that has an Adamantine Gauntlet and has opened a coffer every day for almost a month now and receives nothing different than my other characters receive that have Platinum Gauntlets it seems.

Has anyone else seen this?

    Yeah so far all ive gotten is Peridots (green ones?) which so far is worse then what i got with the gauntlet from before that.

    Yesterday I got the artifact that you can get. I assume it's just a very low chance to get anything over the Peridot.

    Are you soloing the lairs or running with a group? There is something from the last Preview patch notes mentioning a fix to the problem where if multiple people were opening the coffer at the same time, everyone would get loot at the level of the lowest gauntlet used. Otherwise, I know people who have gotten the Eye recently, so it's just a case of RNG being what it is. I don't think the better gauntlets remove the chance of lower tier loot, they just add better items to the top of the reward table.

    Yeah gotten some crummy stuff from adamantine as well. running solo. Figure I'll just keep grinding til i get the artifact. AT least I am done with dread ring so all i have to do is the dungeon, doesn't take but a few minutes at least

    I get the occasional Aquamarine, and even a Lifedrinker Shard.

    I know a couple of guildies that have gotten the artifact so I know it is possible. The odds, however, seem to be around 3%.

    There was an actual bug where, if you collected stuff while another player was interacting with the arcane coffer, you would get the lowest possible loot. Today's patch addresses this issue.

    That seems a little high to me - I have 5 characters running with the top gauntlet and probably have 100ish attempts and nothing.

    I pretty much always solo but when I do do it in a group I always wait to open any chest/coffer until others already have done so. Just an old habit.

    Sadly, it's probably just the RNG then.

    From the patch notes ...

    • The Dread Ring Arcane Coffer at the end of a Lair can now only be interacted by one play at a time but will now give rewards based on the gauntlet used to open it and not the lowest quality gauntlet used to open it.

    I read that and I will check it out later today.

    Today I find The Dagger in first box and The Stiletto in seccond box - with Adamantine gauntlet, in Fantasma fortres (?), so may be the problem was solved or I was just lucky! This two weapons are from the set of Zone rewards, yeap!!!

    I know people that got the artifact their very first time using the adamantine gauntlet. I don't think there is any real system in place, its just pure luck. That being said, I haven't gotten anything higher than Aquamarine.
