Question about the Caught in the Web raid

As usual, rumors go around that then get spouted as gospel.

So, I want to try to get a straight answer about how you get the end chests in the raid.

I've seen many people say that the end chests are directly releated to the number of orbs that you destroy.

So, with no orbs, you get ONE guaranteed, then up to 4 more for the orbs for a total of 5.

A 6th chest can be obtained based on Ana's health.

Therefore you should be able to summon as many shrines as you want, BUT as long as you get the orbs you should get at least 5 chests.

Can someone confirm this for sure and put this "You lose a chest every time Ana summons a shrine" rumor to bed. (no)

Well, I can't totally put those things to bed, based on my low number of completions. 

But last week on Patchday afternoon, we ran the raid on normal.  With a lot of fumbling around, we finally completed.  We summoned at least 2 shrines, and maybe three, and recieved six chests.  I was kiting that hand (which had bugged out on a turn somewhere), so I wasn't paying that close attention.

Later that night, I ran it again, and we summoned two shrines, and recieved six chests.

Yesterday, we summoned two shrines, and recieved five chests.

5 guaranteed if you do the optionals, 6th depending on health.

My computer died before I could run the raid, so I'll ask now before I subject myself to it...

Are all 5/6 of those end chests "real" chests that each have an actual chance of giving raid loot?

...and a 15% chance of giving you a pet rather than a +5 tome at which point you can quietly commit seppuku.

I just got that impression after you spent 13 pages calling out eladiun for being an interwebs bully when anyone who's been posting on here already knew that.  I mean, he's proud of it and hardly tries to hide that at all.

Are the pets unbound? 

Can we at least scam retards into buying them so as to get something worthwhile out of the pathetic excuse for raidloot that is a mini pet?

Ran it with the guild on Friday night. Got 5 chests, summoned at least 3  shrines. Ana's health was really low at the end. Pretty sure we destroyed all the artifacts, but I wasn't really paying that much attention honestly. I only went because the guild needed the help. I did pull a commendation.... on a character I have no need for it on. After the fact, I realized I should have put it up for grabs  Embarrassed

Named loot we got the longwsword (greater dragon bane? srsly?) and the dagger I believe. Both of them were a "If you're just going to let it rot in the chest/sell it to the vendor, I guess I'll take it" rather than anyone actually genuinely excited to get them.

We did all the orb optionals.

I was excited to get the longsword!  It’s kind of like getting a Calomel weapon without the newly disappointing challenge XP rewards.  And, it gives me a legit reason to hate our favorite brony developer: Full_of_Shit!

I have only run it once, last night in fact, and we did get all 6 chests.

All Orbs gotten, all artifacts destroyed, summoned 3 (for sure) or 4 (maybe) shrines and her health was very good at the end.

Ran it first time last night on normal.  All orbs, low Ana health.  Anywhere from 6 to 8 shrines.

5 chests and vendor trash for all 11 (one died and stuck at beginning).

I think it can be set into stone: shrines don't matter, optionals do.
