Mystic chests

[Scrotemus]

If there's a thread on this feel free to redirect me and close this.

These mystic chests seem to be popular now, guildies said 2 stacks of a material, 1 glob of ectoplasm, and a mystic coin make the chest.
Anyone know what 2 stacks of materials can be used? Anyone try this yet?

Any material... 2 x 250... wood is the cheapest, so it's about 1g if you pay for all, most of my friends report losses.

Its generaly gambeling just like the mystic forge is normaly. Several low tier mats are valid options such as butter, iron, green wood and soft wood. Havent tried some of the other materials such as leather and not going to waste valueable high tier materials to see if they work either. They are the result of a temporary measure to try to empty surplus materials out of the game economy and we dont know how long the recipies will be valid.

you'll generaly find some random crystal inside as well as "Mystic" componants, those componants can be combined to form a consumable item to access the forge from anywhere. There are rare versions of the componants that can make a perminant version of said consumable. The crystal is of variable value and vendors from 10s to 2g.
