Experience is the only thing "earned" in this game. Luck with RNG does not equate to "earning" anything. I got my first Gjallarhorn from the Gorgon chest. I've also gotten Shards and Energy from that same chest. Oh, and Spirit Bloom from the chest before that one. It took PRECISELY the same amount of dedication, skill, or whatever other elitist bullshit qualifier you want to say to "earn" that Gjallarhorn as it did to "earn" that Spirit Bloom. This elitist culture is what is ruining this game. Get over yourselves.
