So far after picking over a dozen chests i only got shape change potions , why cant there be like good instuments, loot should be more random.

We seem to get the same type augments that randomly drop about once per mission. My problem is twofold with chests, etc. One I can easily detect mechanical traps, and disarm them with maxed skills in each. But despite clicking and right clicking on the box with my lockpicks in hand, NOTHING happens... Is it because at max skill bards aren't high enough to pick the locks, or am I bugged? I tend to think I may be bugged because I can never, and I mean never, loot a chest. I always get the can't loot while mobs are near message (something like that). Its to the point that I don't even roll on chest loot as I know I couldn't loot it if I won, sucks when it's a Stamina aug or something. Any ideas on these two problems I'm having? Would love to be able to pick locks and loot chests! Sorry if this is off topic Phugg, your question just made me remember. (yes I have /bugreported). My guess on chests is that the more painful and difficult the trap the better the loot. I too have been slightly disapointed in the fair from the chests. Sinfonian

I got the chests picked you need to /open them for them to open :lol . As for the msg you can't loot while mobs near you have agro camp out and come back that should clear it up.

Sinfonian: To pick an LDoN chest: -Make a Pick Lock skill hotkey. -Target the chest and stand right next to it. -Click on the Pick Lock hotkey to attempt to pick the chest. -If successful, click Open to make the chest available for looting. Unlike with doors, the hotkey is the thing to use on chests. As for the aggro bug, I used to have issues with that, too, even when I didn't have aggro from anything. I think it may have something to do with actions taken while getting the box open (i.e. if a trap gets set off or you fail to pick the lock on the first try, then you may get stuck on some sort of mock hate list and won't be able to open the box due to "aggro"). That's mere conjecture, though. To fix this, just hit your Fading Memories hotkey. FM has never failed to enable me to loot a chest when I keep getting a "D00d. You're liek totally on something's hate list" message. If you're OOM or don't have the ability, then camping and returning works as well. I hope that helps. :) On Topic: And yes, I agree that LDoN chest loot is usually subpar. STA augs are a treat to find in a box though, and being able to have a one time barbarian morph is always fun. I do agree that they're often not worth the risk, though.

Actually the most common cause for the "aggro" message is that the trap has reengaged. I've ran into this numerous times and simply redisarming the trap will allow you to loot the item.

oh really thanks ellorra didnt know that just assumed was some bug that that only camping or zonign could fix

BAH, I should have thought of that Ellorra! I have to disarm those annoyance traps in rooms almost every pull. I will remember that next time! Thanks! Sinfonian

Got a 12hp agument once out of a chest won the roll too, only one i have seen out of 75 adventures
