can you get the GoV brown chests (the ones with the good stuff in them) without doing a GoV page and just killing weak mobs?
Yes. You can get any item from Brown caskets regardless of the mobs level. No GoV required (Though doing GoV could increase your brown casket rate if you got treasure casket rate+ Prowess, which is why people bother doing it).
Also, Can confirm Vivi-Valve and Precolator (or w/e the Skill up one is) from Ob as well. Think I'll just milk Ob for the new ones, as he appears to drop all 4.
