How do some people get such awesome items so quickly?

When I go to the Cornucopia at the start of the match, I usually get one unit of armor (usually boots), some sort of food item, and a miscellaneous item. I'll go and find a few chests more and get some other items, like sticks, food, ingots, etc.

Sometimes I'll see people with basically full iron armor and a diamond sword before sponsors even refill the chests.

Are there special chests that contain better items than most? I've heard of Tier 2 chests, are these what I'm talking about? I don't play a lot so I don't really understand this situation.

The corn has tier 2 chests, all of them are tier 2. Throughout the map as well there are a few tier 2 chests. If you were to kill a lot of people at the start of the match who had iron armor pieces and got lucky with the tier 2 chests, it's possible before refill.

Map 1 also has this thing called the casino. If you are really lucky in this casino, you can have full iron/diamond sword right away. This takes a lot of luck though, and in my opinion, isn't worth trying for unless you have spare time or are otherwise in really bad gear and stand no chance.

Ah, thanks. I tried my luck at the casino recently and only got a stone sword and one wheat, so it wasn't really worth it.

You seem to know quite a bit; do you know if there are any other crafting tables in Map 1? I only know of the one at the Corn but I have heard that there are others.

map 1, face the cornucopia and go left, there is a lake, go to the left of the lake. there is a cliff side and right underneath it at one area is a place with 5 buttons that look like this:

- - -
- - -
- - -

the code is 5826
so

the buttons are basically lined up like:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

there is one tier one chest right there, then go behind it and there is a tier 2 chests with a lava pit in front
it somethimes spawns like, 3 pairs of boots, cooked food, and clocks, but you can get iron chestplates and leggings if you are lucky

I actually know less than the average person on the forum, but I do know a few more crafting tables.

If you are at corn on the 24 slot servers, you'll see the 'host house'. Looking at the host house, turn right 90 degrees and keep going until you are at the waterline. From there, you should see a bridge. Head across the bridge and climb the tower you see on the right. You should see a crafting table up there. (On the 48 slot servers, there is no host house. You'll have to find another way to find your way there. As well, on the 48 slot servers, the crafting table is in the left tower, which requires some basic parkour to get to.)

There is another one as well, I do not know exactly how to get to that one though, I don't use it much.


Something I want to ask others myself though, is where crafting tables are in map 3. I only know of the one at the corn and the one at the top of the mountain. Are there others?

sometimes the crafting bench on the tower isnt there :/
It's always there for me. o.o
Like I said, on 48 slot servers, it's on the other tower. Make sure to check the other one too if it's not on the first one.

I do that too, just book it around. Hit up the Good, the combination house, or the bridge and the castle.. maybe even the casino then just kill people.
