Okay so yesterday I spent like six hours grinding in Doom Quest trying to get that sweet purple gear. Kept seeing rare chests pop up but barely ever got epic stuff. Got super annoyed so I started testing every trick on forums and discords. Here’s exactly how I finally cracked it.
My Starting Point & Frustrations
First I was just running normal routes like a dummy. Found maybe one rare chest per hour near lava caves – total waste of time. When I did find one? Got garbage green boots 90% of the time. Saw dudes in global chat flexing dragonbone swords while I’m over here with rotten leather caps. Nope.
The Game Changer Trick
Started stacking luck potions after reading some guildie’s rant. Chugged three cheap ones before every run – didn’t even know you could stack them! Then I ran this specific loop:
- Spawned at Blood Marsh portal
- Cleared zombies till moon altar
- Waited for blood moon event (happens every 45min real time)
- Checked three glowing rocks behind altar during event
Boom – chest popped behind middle rock EVERY time. Key was the blood moon timing + potions.
Noobs vs Pro Strat
First few tries I messed up hard. Went at normal moon phase – nothing. Forgot potions – got common trash. But when I nailed timing? Jackpot. Over five runs:
- Two void crystal daggers
- Spectral ghostplate chestpiece
- Cursed king’s amulet (epic!)
- Plus heaps of crafting mats
Took me 20 tries to stop dying to poison clouds though. Bring antidotes seriously.
Final Setup That Works
Now I do this every blood moon cycle:
- Grab 3 luck potions from auction house (cheap ones work fine)
- Set timer on phone for 45min cycles
- Port to Blood Marsh immediately when event starts
- Sprint directly to altar rocks ignoring mobs
- Smash chest open before event ends (4min window!)
Got three epics yesterday alone. Still get garbage sometimes but way less. Think the game hates me when RNG sucks but eh – free mats sell well at least.
