Is it just me, or is this area entirely useless? No quest objectives, doesn't lead anywhere, and it doesn't even have a guaranteed Large Chest!



I guess it's intended to have a Large Chest, as I stumbled upon a segment of the level that looked separate from the random generation and was filled with magic mobs, but, well, no chest. Felt like a giant waste of time to clear it out, seeing I was already ahead of the level curve.

Yeah, I've only found a large chest there.



But still, there's alot of magic mobs there so I guess it's good for grinding XP. Posted by

I guess it will be one of the places where you can farm for maps later in the game. Posted by

This area will have a related quest later.

At the moment it has a higher than usual golden chest chance. It can also be an area to help pick up XP if you're low.

Perhaps increase the mob density a bit to give it a slight edge in grinding.



EDIT: I agree with the map idea, perhaps make the catacombs likely to drop maps. Perhaps increase the mob density a bit to give it a slight edge in grinding.EDIT: I agree with the map idea, perhaps make the catacombs likely to drop maps. Last edited by Xendran on Jan 25, 2013, 7:04:57 PM Posted by

Personally catacombs seems like a rehash of the church dungeon, but without the atmosphere, and with wider corridors and room spaces. Comes across as a quick attempt to add more content, without adding any originality of design.



Oh well I suppose even the best rock album has at least 1 'filler' track.

Looking forward to the quest here, and I actually appreciated the change of pace fighting Cold Undead after all the fire undead in the Crematorium. As others have mentioned I would increase the density of the mobs a little bit...but not too much...to make farming more profitable. Posted by

What is that "higher than usual golden chest chance"?

5 visits and no large golden chest yet.

Well, the golden chest chance is remarkably low most of the time anyway, so raising it by a certain amount still isn't enough to let McHuberts over there get one after 5-6 tries. Should note that I've only been in the Catacombs once and I got a golden chest there.... Alteration Orb Union Local #7
