When Soloing, can Trash drop Exquisite Chest?

[stewie]

I have been using eq2bot everynight for over a month now, and I have never seen or looted 1 Exquisite Chest.

1) Can Solo non-name drop Exquisite Chest?
2) Does eq2bot allow you to loot Exquisite Chest?
3) Does EQ2 Hate Rangers?

I have camp Green triple downs to Yellow Heroics and nothing for small & treasured. And I have been in a few duos and Exquisite Chest has drop from even trash but I did not have eq2bot up and active.

1) Yes, about 1:5000 kills.
2) If you are set to loot, it will loot all chests.
3) Yes

In right around 1000 kills last night, I recieved 1 exquisite chest with a spell I could actually use but will be replaced soon enough so it's on the broker.

That's been the norm for me killing non-named heroics. I make more money from 2-3 in the same period dropping booster packs and decks, which could be collected from any trash mobs. Or the newly added LoN raid card drops before a bazillion get on the market.

Of course, using 3 characters allows me to grind on heroics easily...and I can't say outside of newbie island in the old days ever seeing an exquisite off anything less than a ^ mob. Some ^ like Cognoggin 5000 in LFay seem to drop more than others, but that's the only non-heroics I get chests like Ornate or Exquisite off regularly.

I just wish they would add random fabled drops like the purple items in WoW that could drop off different creature types or in specific zones...an odd fabled here or there makes things fun and not a montey hall campaign like camping the same nameds does.

I'm about 99% certain trash has the same chance to drop exquisite be it heroic or solo con.

If farming for farmings sake, doing 3 man team on solo cons will grind out much more loot/hr and thus more pp/hr. Only trick is finding a large enough area, or someplace with a quick enough respawn.

sense the new update, I have had 2 Exquisite Chest drop. 1 from lvl77 even and 1 from a lvl2. But the problem I am seeing is that my lower level toon will miss chests/corpses and let them rot.

Is leaving chest a problem with eq2bot? and does eq2bot loot chest even if you are low health? there has been a few times I come back and find myself dead.
