Treasure Chests 

Does anyone know the formula for random items in chests? I have a mid level paladin who seems to get great stuff from nearly every chest, yet I have a 2nd level sorcerer who seems to get nothing useful at all...are items better if you do more of the killing or is the sorcerer just in a loop of unfortunate rolls/randomizing...hopefully it is the latter, because it is kinda hard for a sorcerer to kill too many things. Also, if I have a monster charmed, and it kills something do I get credit for the kill?

Thanks in advance,

No forumula to chest that I can see.

I think it says misadventure when your charmed guy kills something.

RE: Treasure Chests 

1st off Welcome to the site, Taro!

I don't think the number of kills determins what kind of loot you get. I usually have the most or second most kills in a dungeon, and my chests seem to have been totally random. Sometimes I get some good drops, sometimes I get more stuff to sell to the merchants.

RE: Treasure Chests 

Ok, thanks for the answer guys. Also, on a side note, this website is awesome, and doubly so since it is free. I have noticed alot of great info on here already and the game is what less than 2 months into public release. I do hope that people start chatting more on public channels in the game though, so if anyone is online for crying out loud do something more than /dance, /sleep, and /invite would be nice to have some sort of actual interaction in taverns and such. Anyways have a great morning/day/night whatever it is where you are.

RE: Treasure Chests 

Alright I am beginning to wonder about this because I can hardly ever find anything on my fighters but I find awesome stuff on my wizard. At first I was told the rumor of Charisma based loot which would make sense given that my Dwarf has a 8 charisma, and my WF has a 6, and it would allow the Devs to reward those who don't treat Charisma as a dump stat. Although really I believe its punishment enough to have the lower skills and inability to pick up Sorc levels and palidan levels.

But anywayz, i am not sure what to think here, we tried allowing the highest level in the group pull chests but still I got crap, i have tried opening the chests in an order, first, second, third, fourt,...last...but nothing seems to help the loot. Am I cursed, is there a random variable assigned at character creation that tells of the loot the character will get?

I wish I could figure it out, just thought I would rant a bit. Thanks for listening thus far.

New and improved, 3 lvls in one day, adding to his arsenal Fulcrum Shift..oh yea. Can't wait to get some time under his belt now. I can now hurl Boulders....omfg no he didn't :) I look so pimp in my newest power...its brown and bumpy all over..can you guess?... Thats right is Stone Armor and it is kick butt. Fissure rocks my world! Fifty soon. Fifty on 12-10-2005 at 12:35am after 400hrs of hard labor Wanna throw a special shout out to Illusion Mastor, CBail, Mudpuppy, Jupiter Sweets, Dark Hollow, Lethal Fury, Pan, Majin Tank, Lotus of Death, and all the others i know I am forgetting for their help. And also to all the gameampers here at gameamp whom without I would never have made it.

It has been mentioned by the developers that the chests are completely random. Nothing is going to change what loot you get, you can try it all, but it is totally random.
