  • My fantasy preferences are quite the opposite of my real world self. In my MMOs, form always trumps function. No matter how useful something is, if it looks hideous to me (mempos for example) then I will simply live without it. Rarity for the sake o…
  • I got one with an EJ char that did not have High Seas, after about a dozen tries. The 2nd char (paid account, with High Seas, and wearing about 400 luck in the unlikely event that any of that matters) was lucky and got it after only 5 tries.
  • @TimSt I had not really timed my hunt, just a rough estimate, but I suppose it must have been just past the 15 minute marker, and that was why it was empty. I thought it was odd that the chest did not say the item count or weight tho. But the devs k…
  • Well the whole ordeal took less than 15 minutes, so I am hoping the timer is not THAT short If so, that will really make it a challenge lol
  • I had time this morning for 1 hoard chest before heading out for RL stuffs - I just had to get a taste! This was a Malas warrior hoard chest. There are a lot of variables involved for this particular chest. I used lockpicks w/ GM lockpicking to u…
  • @Drakelord You can disarm ALL of the chests with ZERO remove trap skill. It just takes longer without skill, resulting in more guardian spawn. Instead of focusing solely on the existence of the skill you do not like, see if you can adapt and lear…
  •  Thank you @Kyronix for the update. Have a great holiday weekend!
  • Welcome back! Barter Town is making a come back, be sure to stop in and say hello. Mariah's link pretty much says it all, but here's a few highlights and a Siege perspective: In the past 4 years: ALL accounts (including yours if you did not have …
  • That is how it works now. I put an item on the vendor, it sits a few days and charges me fees. If I take the item off, and reprice it - I do NOT get any of that fee back. I would be happy if the new system worked differently, but I am not expecting …

  • I would assume the fee would be charged at the time you put the item on the vendor. Otherwise, the game would have no way of ensuring that the funds are available later when the item is actually purchased. I would like to see players get that fee ba…

  • If they are not marked as guardians, then they do not need to be killed in order to open the chest and loot it. People can loot the chest, then take their time to kill off the critters or just let them despawn eventually. Since the chests only have …
  • I have been focused on cache chests, because I am trying to sort out which packs and facets have which deco. Every single chest that I dug up using real LP and RT skills had a bag inside. However, when I used magery spells to open the chest, it ave…
  • All of the Eodon level 3 maps (intended for solo play) that I did that had the saurosaurus and dimetrosaur were NOT guardians. It is inconsiderate to leave spawn behind, but they don't actually need to be killed. That said, I do think they are rough…
  •  Not getting a gold/gem bag half the time when using magery to unlock/disarm a chest IS a bug, right? If it is an RNG penalty for not having skill, then ok, but I would like to know. It effects my template.
  • in EC, the handle just says ''chest'', regardless of type. However, I can click on it to get the chest in my target window, and then I can see what it actually looks like from that window.
  • Maybe they can divide out the loot like in the revamp for levels 1-3. But let the ''group'' levels have the full range (plus PS) like they do currently. People could solo them or do them as group, but not be able to target items like the revamp allo…
  • Oh.. sorry.. you said you dug up a level 3 chest, and you seemed disappointed in not finding things that are not to be found in that level. I apologize for misunderstanding.

  • There seems to be a number of folks who are interested in the coming changes, but who have not had the time to invest in the testing process. We all have busy lives, I am not judging anyone. However, this revamp changes a lot of concepts, down to th…
  • To me, a treasure hunter is some one who looks for treasure. It can be a rogue thief, it can be a noble paladin, it can be a mystic mindbender. Why does the idea of a ''treasure hunter'' have to fit into a cookie cutter box? A mage can pop the chest…
  • People seem stuck on the idea that the best method is to do the ''highest'' level of map for the best loot. This is incorrect.
  • In the past 6 months I have done [hundreds] of maps at [all levels, but mostly level 6 in Malas and a great many level 3 in Fel for the Zippy quest on Siege]. This post is in regard to:[X] Loot[X] Remove Trap on Chests[X] Lockpicking The level of ma…
  •  To be honest, I probably no longer have an accurate understanding of loot generation. When they changed the system a while back, it became immensely complicated to me where opening a Miasma corpse involved looking at 30 items each with 20 lines of …

  • These are wonderful spreadsheets, much more informative than my little project so I am a little embarrassed to post the one I have been working on. I am not the brightest crayon in the box, so the revamp is a bit overwhelming for me. I have chosen t…
  • Does not work that way... Creatures have ''ranges'' for their loot generation. No matter how much luck you wear, no matter how many you kill, there is a cap per species and you will never exceed that cap.
  • In the past 3 months I have done [number of maps you have done] at level [level of the maps] I have been hoarding my maps since this revamp was announced, so I have not done any in the past few months aside from TC1. However, before that, I have don…
  • Removed comment... this was the wrong place.
  • I got an octopus necklace from an artisan chest and from a mage chest. Neither had mods or were imbuable. Adding this pic to show the portions of the skull tile that get dyed:
