Okay so I was just doing some reagent restocking these past days and I noticed that I got Amber Dust and Merle's whisker from the wooden/silver chests (so far I only found the dust in wooden chests)
Was there an update to the loot tables or is it just that rare to get that it hasnt been mentioned on the wiki's yet? Either way I'm glad I found out about this I wont be running past chest in upper level worlds if i can help it.
I'm a max level wizard and also have been getting merle's wisker and amber dust from wooden and silver chests. Even though I have been at max gold for quite some time I never go past a wooden chest and try not to miss a silver one. There a lot of reagents and tc cards that you can get out of those chest than just money.
