5/17/2022 (all Level 100 Dungeon using Loot Tickets, apparently I’m stuck using Loot Tickets on Level 100, cant change it)

Iron Chest #1: Gold, Food (0!), Common Pants, Uncommon Pants
Iron Chest #2: Gold, 2x Leg Rune, 9x Major Acc Shard
Iron Chest #3: Gold, Food, 7x Great Acc Shard, 10x Great Minion Shard
Iron Chest #4: Gold, Food, Common Boots, Uncommon Minion
Iron Chest #5: Gold, Leg Scroll, 17x Superior Armor Shard, Food
Gold Chest #1: Gold, Leg Scroll, Epic Rune, Ore, 7 Superior Minion Shards ( in the past Ore and Shards would never show up in slots 4 and 5, respectively )
Gold Chest #2: Gold, Ore x3, Mythic Rune ( A Gold Chest should have 5 loot slots, Ore was in 3 slots)
Ruby Chest: Gold (0!), Food (0!), Leg Rune, Uncommon Weapon (A Ruby Chest should have 6 loot slots, so apparently Food was in 3 slots)
Diamond Chest: Gold (0!), Food (0!), Leg Rune, Rare Weapon, Rare Minion (A Diamond Chest should have 7 loot slots, so once again Food was in 3 slots)

So another day of Platinum Pass battles and we finally got a Rare something. Interesting we also got a lot of Food and Ore.

@OminousGMan

Today we’ve deployed a few changes and fixes to Puzzle Quest 3.

• Dungeon chests (for all dungeons, including main story and seasonal) have had some changes made to their drop rates. They will contain slightly less gear, runes, and scrolls, and slightly more relics and shards.

No where in this “Small Fixes and Improvements” do I see any mention that “slightly more” Food and Ore now drops in Dungeons. Yet, that is precisely what it appears has happened. Once again, @Kafka this is why no one engages here or believes anything that is put forth as “improvements” because all the unfavorable changes are never mentioned and we are left to do this BS activity to prove that we are not going insane.

The current state of Chests also appears to include a stealth Nerf to chest contents in the form of increased Food and Ore. Although Ore can at least be used in various ways so it’s not a total loss, Food is entirely unwanted by most players so increasing the chance of getting more Food in Chests is a significant downgrade.
