Mostly Harmless 28 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) Hello everybody! This morning I found this old and beaten beauty in a little shed: The first 3-digit-number matchbox I´ve seen in a while! Definitely not the highest number of matches ever found, but, during my playtime so far, I never came even close to the max. possible amount of 250 (according to the ingame item description). So I was wondering, what is out there in Chernarus, waiting to be found/spawn or maybe has been found already... Everybody is talking about rare loot items, like smersh and co., but noone ever mentiones this absolute exclusive item... a truely full matchbox! ;) That is why I ask you, my fellow survivors, what is the highest number of matches in a box you´ve encountered so far? If you are up for a little side-challenge during your usual DayZ-business feel free to post here (please include picture-proof for higher 3digit-numbers). Time to check your pockets, bags, backpacks and long closed protector cases or to keep a lookout on your quest. Travel safe!

hekp 223 Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) edit: Aw, at first i thought u found 250 matches, than i saw there's only 100 remaining. That is why I ask you, my fellow survivors, what is the highest number of matches in a box you´ve encountered so far?It was defenately over 100, don't have the pic, but im sure people will start posting higher numbers than mine anyway. afai remember it was around 101-105. P.S. love the challange idea. Edited January 5, 2015 by halp 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boneboys 7988 Posted January 5, 2015 Hey Bones, just use the lighter.. no? Too much risk Im guessing.. ? :)Na, I bought a box of 100 matches because you have to put the flame in the little hole at the bottom of the oven (old French oven).I may change tactics when the box is empty. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death By Crowbar 1213 Posted January 5, 2015 Na, I bought a box of 100 matches because you have to put the flame in the little hole at the bottom of the oven (old French oven).I may change tactics when the box is empty.Those French matches - if they can't light those stoves or are so crappy no wonder the French are so skinny! I have a solution, but the Devs will need to make an enhancement - use duct tape to attach the standard kitchen matches to the long French matches, essentially making the standard kitchen matches longer. Either that run around the block holding it between your legs while wearing corduroy pants... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mercules 1290 Posted January 5, 2015 Na, I bought a box of 100 matches because you have to put the flame in the little hole at the bottom of the oven (old French oven). I may change tactics when the box is empty. Skip the matches, use Spaghetti noodles. Light them with said lighter. ;) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yazar8 584 Posted January 5, 2015 Sounds like a good challenge. I think the maximum I found was like 120 or 130. I am not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyT 554 Posted January 5, 2015 I didn't even know they came in numbers greater than 100! 94 is my max. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mostly Harmless 28 Posted January 6, 2015 Dang. Most I ever had was 97. Good find. Thanks, but 97 is nice too!I didn´t keep the box though, as I wasn´t sure if "damaged" ones work as fine as the "pristine" ones. Guess they probably would. .......Instead I decided to offer them to the DayZ-gods at the Altar, and keep my fingers crossed now for even more luck and higher numbers ............ :D........... just kidding............. I only do that with beloved guns, that got names and have to stay behind now because of major changes in my armory........ :rolleyes:......... Sounds like a good challenge. I think the maximum I found was like 120 or 130. I am not sure. Yea, somewhere around there. But this has been a while ago... I didn't even know they came in numbers greater than 100! 94 is my max. I hope they still do! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krazypenguin 174 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) Found a 96 in pristine condition, my best so far. Still looking for that elusive triple figure box... Meh, was down to 93 when I took the picture: Edited January 7, 2015 by krazypenguin 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CANUCKinNZ 108 Posted January 7, 2015 Good challenge - I am in! Will start hunting... On a related topic, why can't you combine boxes of matches...? I have wondered this as well but if you survive long enough to go through 100 matches then you're not doing it right. :o Jut one box should do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Avant-Garde 229 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) This will be worse then looking for the smersh vest, count me in. Max I found was 90 something, and boy I look at every matchbox I find because more matches can't be a bad thing Edited January 7, 2015 by Avant-Garde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boneboys 7988 Posted January 8, 2015 On a related topic, why can't you combine boxes of matches...?I've no idea but the question should be asked.May be a loot balancing/distribution issue (boxes/matches per server). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mostly Harmless 28 Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) Found a 96 in pristine condition, my best so far. Still looking for that elusive triple figure box... Meh, was down to 93 when I took the picture: Awesome, great number and condition (the last box I´ve found contained 9...)! But, if I may be so bold to say, look at you, the perfect match for that challenge! I really like that,cool!!beans2 Edited January 8, 2015 by Mostly Harmless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
