Talk:Chest

I noticed yesterday that there still chests that are NOT locked! Only the chests with an area name (e.g. "Krytan Chest") are locked. --Tetris L 19:16, 23 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Are you talking about mission related chests or normal loot chests (like the ones before the update)? --Xeeron 19:47, 23 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Normal loot chests. I was questing in the Northern Shiverpeaks yesterday (Deldrimor Bowl) when I stumbled across a few unlocked chests. Got one blue and a purple item out of them. --Tetris L 21:27, 23 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Hmmm there are the quest chests for The Deserters in that area, might be those, they drop normal loot. If not, my best guess is that ANet forgot to remove some of the normal chests. --Xeeron 21:38, 23 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Those maybe the chests for that quest, but I have seen the old chests in Dreadnought's Drift with my own eyes a week ago...The Strong Box and the Lost Chest. --Karlos 21:55, 23 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * Indeed, it was The Deserters area. Why are those chests related to that quest anyway? You don't have to open the chest to recover the stolen goods. The quest log updates when you kill them and you're done. --Tetris L 21:57, 23 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * They are guarded by the deserters and usually no 3 chests are that close to each other --Xeeron 22:43, 23 Sep 2005 (EST)

I added some pages for specific chest types since I thought it would be useful to know which chests can produce max items, which chests are guaranteed to produce max items and which items can be obtained from which chests. -- Gordon Ecker 08:18, 18 February 2006 (CST)
 * I don't think it is true (though I have no proof right now), that the high end area chests always drop max items. -PanSola 13:01, 18 February 2006 (CST)
 * Well if it is true that only certain items spawn from certain chests, then it's a great idea to have specific pages for each chest. 69.124.143.230 14:56, 18 February 2006 (CST)
 * I was thinking that all the chests would be initially tagged as either always max or never max, then if some chests were to be observed to do both (Maguuma Chests, Elonian Chests and Shiverpeak Chests are likely candidates), those chests would be retagged as sometimes max. -- Gordon Ecker 07:07, 22 February 2006 (CST)

Chest drops
Should we actually collect data of chest drops in some way? As we are now collecting frop rates of some monster types, why not those of chests. --Gem 18:44, 5 March 2006 (CST)


 * That's an excellent idea. The data rate will likely be much slower, but in time will also prove valuable especially combined with the monster drops in the same area. --Karlos 21:03, 5 March 2006 (CST)
