Ethereal Prisms

Been sneaking around the event since it started, mostly outside in the city and I have yet to see a prism.


Has anyone gotten one yet? And if so, were you able to get it in the city?

Just seeing if appears out there or if it is dungeon only.

Thanks, it seems much less dangerous to farm city of mistas rather than dungeon. that said i think i did several hundred chests yesterday and only ended up with a dozen of the dreadguard skulls and no ethereal prisms

I’m guessing the rarity drop is similar to the stealables from the totem event. At least these are in one location and respawn so thank you devs. With life comes limited playing time.
What kinda luck have you been wearing for the players who already obtained some?

I've had minimal luck on a garg toon, swapping skills out to an elf character tonight with 2k luck to see if it makes a difference

Took a bit to make a 3045 luck suit and tried it out for an hour. Seems like more rubble pieces and artifact drops. But no prisms and no dread skulls in that hour. Can’t fully tell if luck is making a difference, but more than likely it doesn’t hurt.

Has anyone bought or sold one of these prisms yet? They look seem cool and appear to be low drop rate. The could see them being valuable after since people want them as deco

We have like 2 full months more of the event, so plenty of time to find some. Just make sure you have your stealing skill up to 120 in order to remove them from the chest.
I have extra’s of the skull totems to trade for the prisms, in case they were not around for those.

Try to teleport to the roof top, stand next to the wall and place the curser on the roof edge. Sometimes this will, depends on the roof.

Players are focused on looking for new boxes to find, no need to worry about that.
Totems from 2 events ago vary on how much they sell for depending on the shard, with Atlantic being sold for the highest prices.

I bought 2 at 175M sitting on a vendor within past couple days. Even tho they may be rare, doesnt seem to be that expensive.

I have 4 on Great Lakes. Freind has 6 now. I have been running over 4500 luck with the luck statue buff. I know another person on GL with at least 7 the last time I checked in with them.

I have one from the dungeon and the three others have been in the city.

Do you need to have stealing also to get these? I use just lock pick, able to open boxes, assorted stuff only. Also does LUCK make any difference? Most important for me would be the stealing question, as I have no stealing at all.

it says right in the patch notes that luck will help with these.

Hidden Chests
  • Use Detect Hidden to locate and reveal chests across the city and within The Depths
  • Chests may reward gems, reagents, artifacts, rubble, maps, rare deco, or one of four uber-rare stealables
  • Luck increases your odds of rare stealables
  • Chests are locked to the revealer and their party for 2 minutes, then become free-for-all
    • On Abyss ruleset shards (Siege/Mugen), looting during this time flags as criminal

you definitely need stealing to get the ethereal prisms. only way to get it out of the chest is to steal it and it says it takes 120 skill

I got one about 10 days ago. I had 2200ish Luck - largely from luck statue rub - and I have 120 real skill steal. I updated to a 4000ish Luck suit (during Luck hour but have not got another prism; however, I get increased materials in the gem bags. Almost lost it because I forgot i had that "branch" wand equipped in my shield hand. I'm making a 2nd thief but I will be using items to reach the 120 Steal skill.

Jewelry will work
Are you speaking from experience? I thought I saw someone on ATL say they missed out on one because they didn't have 120 real.... I vaguely remember seeing that from the Devs but maybe that was an in general message about certain things....

Does stealing need to be "real" 120, or can skill jewelry work?
I only have 60 natural skill and use items to get me to 120, worked fine when I stole mine from the chest.

the only clear issue is when you fail a few times and the chest relocks itself.

you'll get a message like "you cannot steal this item"

you just need to unlock the chest again and it will work just fine. i think some people have lost a prism because they didn't realize they needed to unlock it again

it's almost the end of the event, and I still have yet to get an obelisk or a prism.

I average 2x a day on the spawn, and about 50ish chests per day. (trust me, I tracked for a long while). Tons of cubes and banners. Like, probably more banners than I think most people have. Additionally, they are only showing up on..... my one character not the second, as AS I was typing this I just realized i have a half of a luck suit on that character and not the other.

Can anyone confirm luck works for bag drops or not? I know they mentioned it for the chests.... i wonder if there's a minimum threshold.

RNG. But congrats to everyone else!

I use around 3300 luck and got 2 Prism in 1400 chest. One in dungeon at the first days of event. And one in town.
Tracking the amount by counting how offen i unlock a chest in my Log File.

You aren't alone there. I do the spawn daily at least once but usually twice (multiple chars) and no obelisk. Wouldn't go as far to say I have more banners than I need lol. I did probably upward of 1k chests without any prism; I'd keep going but doing it on ATL (where my luck suit is) feels like too much of a chore. If it's anything like the Obelisk RNG; it's a hard pass for me taking on another absolute grind lol

I got 3 prisms pretty quick at the beginning I do 1-2 hours most days with 3550 luck for 1st hour. It has been getting on for 3-4 weeks since I got my last one. As Keven it is quite a grind !

I managed to get my first prism without a luck suit, then I changed suit and I'm at 2045 luck (not including statue boost) on my thief and have gotten quite a bit of Ethereal prisms during this event, think I've got 4 full sets and a few spares. Seems like a very RNG thing, as I am usually especially unlucky in getting these stealables, been going to Khaldun for 2-3 years and still only managed to get 1 relic, and during the last event I also only got 1 of the stealable totems. But the boss drop in this event still hasn't given me an obelisk, hoping to be able to trade on EU for some of the prism sets though.
