Uhh pick up chest early or later?

[Rhanos]

By later it mean when max out every item to get all evolve item.

Hey I didn't think about that one, clever !

I usually pick the chests anytime I see them. It seems with maxed luck (picking the clover item + power up) I always get 3 evolved weapons at most, 2 if not lucky.

Weapons seem to stop evolving once you get everything maxed, leaving you with money bags only, As for triple chests, they seem to only evolve one weapon at a time. I didn't get an evolve from five item chests yet.

I'll try your technique next time and see if I can get more. Leaving one weapon at low lvl and maxing every others.

The chests that drops before 10 minutes never upgrades a weapon.

I feel like I saved a chest from a pre-ten-minute drop until after 10:30 before opening it and got it to evolve, but considering the game has had many updates that doesn't guarantee it's still true.

Only apply when you open it, You do get evolution if you open any chest after 10min and have the requirement, regardless of when it dropped.

I do save chest now and then (if I aim for somethign specific early), but since there is way enough chest to get your evolution i'd open it immediately so I can farm faster.

never had problems to get stuff evolved, so skipping chests for a while is a waste of dps

This is false.

And I agree with this.

[Ame-kun]

Definitely always get all chests before 10 minutes. As for skipping them later, I usually only hold off on getting them if I'm a level off from hitting 8 or something like that.

My strat is to open chests before 10 mins in an attempt to rush a maxed weapon, so once bosses past 10 mins start appearing, weapons will start cascading into evolved forms. Opening pre-10s might also result in silver or gold chests which is a huge boost before filling up all the slots.

[Rhanos]

So before 10 min chest not upgrade weapon,what about chest after 20 or maybe 25 is it only give gold?

[Darth Zed]

just as a clarification.
its not chests before 10 minutes, it is elites that spawn before 10.

If you keep an elite alive til 10 then kill it, the chest still cant give evolutions.

if the elite spawned at 10 or later the chest will always give one evolution if you have the necessary items, and only one even if you get a multi chest. no luck involved whatsoever in evolving an item.

as for topic i tend to save my 10 min chests if im close to maxing a weapon.

This is not correct.

It will only evolve if the chest if from 10 minutes or later bosses. I've tested this specifically by getting an evolution set up before level 10 (usually happens around minute 3 or 4 because I have maxed upgrades) and then keeping at least one saved. Once level 10 happens opening any of those chests does not provide the evolution. Opening the chest that dropped from the level 10 boss, however, does. Further testing by saving all 3 of the pre-10min chests with 4 weapons ready to upgrade (garlic, tome, lightning, water) and 3 additional post-10 minute boss chests at the 13 minute mark conclusively shows that the pre-10 minute chests do not evolve a weapon when opening them back to back in the following order:

1. the 10 minute boss chest - evolved the garlic
2. the 3 minute boss chest - did not evolve anything (got a crown)
3. the 12 minute boss chest - evolved the tome
4. the 5 minute boss chest - did not evolve anything (got a money bag)
5. the 13 minute boss chest - evolved the lightning ring
6. the 8 minute boss chest - did not evolve anything (got a second money bag)

I still have the santa water to evolve, and the reason I was getting money bags for the last two was because I had only chosen the items specific to evolve those 4 items and they were all maxed. This test was done immediately before this post. I still have the game paused at the 14:07 mark in the background while I wrote this.

Bonus information: It's also only ever possible to get a single evolution from a chest even if it has 3 or 5 items in it and you have multiple evolutions prepared.

[Pedra]

you get chest frequent enough that you really shouldnt worry about it..

sure if you have a chest and your skill needs 1 more level wait for it but otherwise it doesnt really matter

[molovian]

I tried picking up all after, saving them, but I found that my items didn't get high enough level early enough. So now I pick them up as they appear to level items unless I am close to evolving one or more then I let them sit till I am ready to evolve as chest don't always appear when it would be best to evolve an item, so then the chest is there for those evolutions. I often get stuck at the worst moment when evolving would be helpful and not being able to and getting swarmed so I plan for that.
