As I mentioned earlier, I am now having a better look on hidden stash drops. Here are some first data from Lakeside County hidden stashes*: Sample size: 179 items dropped Unid value: 1-4g Average: 2.06g Rarities: White and teal (blue) Gold coins dropped: No  *These are all from the hidden stash that spawns on the way from Ashford to the Green Hills county entrance, but I assume all the Lakeside County stashes follow the same rules for item drops. |

Nice work! Any more dead staves?
I received one from a stash in the Northlands the other day - white, min dmg (dark), min energy.

Yeah, I did get 3-4 all white though.. I am now collecting data from a stash in the Northlands and there seem to be some differences. Min gold value seems to be 2g there (instead of 1g) and gold coins drop frequently. Will post the new data soon.

I've been collecting Dead Staves as well, I have 4 of them - Dark, Holy, Lighting, and Cold damage versions. One is highly salvageable and one is 5-8 Energy +4. But all 10% HSR.

I got dark, chaos, and fire for sure, all were white and 10% HSR so I didn't keep them. Here are some stats from a Northlands hidden stash (the one closest to the Lakeside county portal, taking the path on the left before you find the first Charr group). Sample size: 137 items dropped Unid value: 2-5g (possibly 6g - need bigger sample)) Average: 2.77g Rarities: White and teal (blue) Gold coins dropped: Yes Coin drops range: 3-16g (16 is probably 3x smaller amount)  |

Yeah they only come in dead staves in pre, which drop from hidden stashes (ultra rare shit...). What's odd is that wiki doesn't mention restoration as one of the possible attributes of uninscribable dead staves (it only mentions channeling and communing). wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Dead_StaffI guess it needs updating |

So according to redfireball 's thread in legacy: guildwarslegacy.com/forum/thread/2271-the-research-thread-everything-about-drops/and in combination with my drop value graphs, hidden stashes in the Northlands are like lvl 2 foes in terms of drops (unid value range 2-5g with a peak at 2g), whereas stashed elsewhere in pre are like lvl 1 foes (unid value range 1-4 with a peak at 2g). If we assume both types of stashes drop the same item skins, it would be nice to know the max damage range for all item types at max unid value dropped (i.e. 5g). I have't been able to find such a table anywhere though... |

Sweet insight there! So far I haven't dedicated much interest to hidden stashes and just thought there'd be one sort. Your data however proves different - great insight! There's also some in post searing, where they appear to be again of higher level. As to skins I am very curious as well - other chests are linked to enemies and the drops from the chest are from their drop pool. Keyless like hidden stash or the sf ones don't do that - that's why all the otherwise nerfed skins still drop there (dead staff, crysta, dwarven...) Regarding max dmg for weps by gold value 5 so far I have recorded: Axe 4-8 Bow 7-10 Foc 5 Hammer 8-11 Shield 7 Staff 11/5/6-9 Sword 6-8 Wand 6-9 Armor 16 These are just my own personal recorded max ones - I doubt they are all the real max, but maybe we could do a record in the forums here Thanks for your interest in the topics - it got me pumped to look more into those again! |

To add to your max-damage values: Highest hammers I received from hidden stashes were both 9-12 dmg (summit hammer and dwarven hammer, both with unid values of 6g).

Wow 6g? I've never had a 6g drop from the fist hidden stash in the Northlands. Could they be from the one near the final charr foes? And could a single region have 2 different types of stashes (with different drop value ranges)?

Actually, they most likely are from the stash near the final foes, since that's the one I open most often. |

Sweet that is getting more and more intriguing! It could ofc be that in one area there are chests of different level - I mean at least there can be foes of different level  this would however be one of few places (but think of sorrows furnace e.g. - even though there (like in all other such circumstances a quest is involved) 6g definitely wnables 9-12 hammers, but speaks of different level as well. This needs more research!. For hidden stashes in post I was thinking of those during annihilator quests as well as of the broken catapults or w/e they were called during some miss in ascalon. So get's get out and find levels of all those stashes  to determine the real possible max stats of some sweet skins |
