Dungeon Chest's Really Easy?

[Alex21]

I was told that after hitting 95 you could simply go around trying to pick dungeon chests and GM, however i doubt you need more then 50 lock picking to pick the majority of chests in dungeons and the rest no more then 70. In a total of maybe 150 chest's i have picked of late i can remember 1 that i failed to pick first try in shame level 3 next to the poison elemental.

I think there should be higher level chest's spawning on deeper levels of dungeons then there currently are, ones that at 95 you might fail 70% of the time but get decent loot.

Looks like your just finding the wrong chests to pick. The dungeon chests have different levels of difficulty, some of the harder ones should take 2-5 tries to pick, even at 95 lockpicking. Theres many of these out there too, try the one in the middle of the ancient wyrm lair, or the 2 that spawn in the T2A terrathan keep double balron room (to name a few).

I noticed that the chests at the Yew Crypt are not accurate.

The rooms above both Lichs spawned level 3 and 4 chests. The northern room would spawn 3 chests, usually 2 level 3 and 1 level 4 chest. And the south room would spawn 2 level 3 chest.

Right now they are spawning large crates.

I also noticed that the crates in town are not as difficult either and also seem to have spawn problems, where the loot spawns back into the crates and chests, but they don't relock. Also many crates and chests don't even seem to relock or spawn anything.

ah so the only slightly hard chest's are in area's that almost guarantee being either pked or killed by monsters on the stronger end of the spectrum. And then they only take 2-5 tries? are there chest where you could easily use 10 lock picks and still not be guaranteed success?

Well, you probably wont waste 10 lockpicks, you fail alot, but you dont always break the picks. The chest spawn here isnt exact to OSI. I have noticed the town-gold-boxes not respawning properly but I think thats been addressed. Theres plenty of high-level chests in areas where you arent going to get PK'd, and realistically, if your stealthed you should be just fine anyway. It's not free loot you know, some effort has to be involved.

I don't care about the loot, i just hate having a skill 5 from GM, just think it is silly that the ones in insanely hard places only let you try 2-5 times. I don't have stealth so if i make an effort and clear an area to pick a chest i expect to waste some picks and gain some skill.

Sometimes you fail to pick level 4 chests 10-15 times, sometimes they pop open first time. Thats how it goes.

Most LP areas are fairly quiet, bar a couple of obvious busy spawns[Ancient wyrm, deceit Lich Lords etc]. Mark your runes next to the chest, gate open, hide, through gate, pick, back through.

Aint that hard, even without stealth. Ive seen about 3 reds in 3 weeks lockpicking, been pk'd once.

sounds like LP isnt for you mate.
