Has anyone seen any Chests of a Thousand Grogs, or Chests of Sorrow?

  • Me and my crew encountered these 2 chests fairly often in the beta, but we have been playing since the release and haven't gotten either chest. I liked the challenge that these chests presented. It seems like they removed the chests entirely though at release.

  • @hunty-guy Yes. I have gotten both of them. I'm level 22 with the gold hoarders.

  • Only one I've seen was at the end of a fort raid,but haven't come across any anywhere else,very odd.

  • My family has found one of each. They are fun and especially the first time you find one!

    The Chest of Sorrows was found at very low levels and the highest reputation any of us have now is 17 with the merchants. I don't believe reputation has anything to do with it but more just luck.

  • I heard there's a good chance to find them in shipwrecks.

    I generally avoid shipwrecks though so I wouldn't know.

    can agree, found the chest of sorrow in a shipwreck.

  • Got both yesterday on lvl 20 gold hoarder quest

  • Yep. Same thing. Got a Sorrow chest last night. I'm good hoarders level 20.

  • Gotten both twice. Stole the last 2.

  • Yes, we got one today and lost it.

  • I’ve only found Grog and it was in a sunken wreck.

  • Im also seen no Chests of a Thousand Grogs, or Chests of Sorrow by now...

  • Only found one of each so far (have played a lot). One from a gold hoarders quest, one random find.

    I think they made it a common find in beta simply so we could test them / have some fun with them. It seems in full release they are much rarer to find.

  • Only 2 I have seen so far.

  • @hunty-guy Level 25/24/22 here and i have seen 2 grog chest (one stolen) and 1 crying chest

  • I've found them both a few times, but they're pretty rare. I don't have enough data to form an opinion on whether their sell price is equal to their rarity but they don't feel like they give quite enough gold, roughly equal to a golden chicken or captain's chest or Villainous Skull.
    All three of those are tier 4 in their categories, maybe it is a reasonable price for a random object to be honest.

    I've found 2 grog chests and 4 sorrow chests at 19/12/10.

  • Did a voyage yesterday thay had about 4 or 5 chests on shark bait cove and one of them was a sorrows. Found a couple of grog chests in shipwrecks but thats about it. Imo for the rarity of them they should definately pay more than a captains chest.

  • I got the game since yesterday, played maybe for about 5 hours and i found both.
    Chest of Sorrow digged out from quest and Chest of Thousand Grogs found randomly on island.
    All factions below level 10.

  • I had a sorrow before server maintenance sold for less than a captains chest...750 I got for it.

  • I've had the crying chest from a wreck yesterday. Lvl20 GH

  • Yeah. One time both. One I Stole put of a other Ship, and the other just stand on a Iland and cried.

    Well, they are extremely rare, i'm 32/29/24 and only found 2 of each (and only 1 of each by myself, i stole the other 2). I found 80 captains, if a captain worth 800, i let you find how much grogs/sorrows should worth.
    Sometimes, it's like Rare didn't test its own game. They should up the chances to find those chests OR up their price BY A LOT imo.

  • @hunty-guy randomly found one buried at level 12 gold hoarders during a quest

  • yes both in official and beta.less in official though.

  • @hunty-guy well they are supposed to be "cursed", so i really dont mind the rarity but yes i have came across them was still fun dealing with them

    Should someone at say, 5/2/1 gain a reward equal to all the work you put into getting those 80 captain's chests from blind luck? I'm sure you'd agree that'd be pretty unbalanced, so it becomes a matter of how much you think random chance should play into a player's progression.

    If a chest was worth even half that I still think getting 32,000g just for being at the right place and the right time isn't equal to going through all the treasure maps, navigation, combat and PvP that it took for your chests.

    On the other hand, being equal to only one chest is pretty low, I can agree on that.

  • Found my first chest of sorrow sub lvl 5 in Gold hoarders, currently at 15 and I've had 2 Sorrows and 1 Grog so far just by playing normal Voyages, all three were dug up on islands. I have uploaded DVR's of me finding one of each.

    What I'd like are more variety of these types of chests and to decrease the odds of finding them so they are harder to come by.

  • try sneaking a chest of sorrows onto an enemy ship and hiding it - then watch the crew run round in panic trying to figure out why their ship is filling up with water :-)

  • I've seen 3 sorrows and 1 grog. One sorrows was on an island, the rest were all shipwrecks

  • Found the "chest of sorrow" on Kraken's Fall . Sold it for 1.134 goldOh and don't leave the chest of sorrow below deck, place it on the walk the plank , as it will cry and fill you're trusty ship up with tears.

    No i don't think they should worth 32k gold. I think they are too rare at the moment, if i found 80 capitains since the launch, i should have found something like 15/20 sorrows and about the same amount of grogs, and they should worth 1500/2000 each imo, because not only they are rare, but they come with an added difficulty.

  • Found maybe 6 or 7 (mix of the two). I found a lot more during the Alpha, though I assume they obviously increased the odds during stages before the release for testing purposes.
    I do think the rarity is fine, but they aren’t worth all that much considering their rarity.

  • I dug up my first Chests of a Thousand Grogs since the 1.0 release last night, and I'm level 15 with the Gold Hoarders.

    Personally I'm happy they've made them a lot rarer. Finding one should be an event and they were far too common in the beta.

    That's a valid point on the difficulty, mainly with the grogs.
    The rarity on the other hand, is about how it should be in my personal opinion. Finding 6 total by 19/12/10 feels pretty rare to me, perhaps too rare for you and not rare enough for someone else. I wouldn't like to have to deal with grogs that often, they're too pesky to be doing all that stumbling around on a regular basis.

  • seen them both.

    The grog chest I have gotten twice.

    They sell only for around 1000-2000 gold
