Truhe
Locked Chests
Verteilt über die Länder von Tyria, Cantha und Elona findest du immer mal wieder verschlossene Truhen, die immer Gegenstand beinhalten, der mindestens ein Update hat. Die Truhen stehen immer dort, wo Gegner spawnen (bzw. in der Regel bereits gespawnt sind; d.h. scheinbar unbewachte Truhen sind entweder von Gegnern verlassen worden oder die Gegner haben sich im Boden versteckt) und enthalten in der Regel jene Gegenstände, die eben diese Gegner auch fallen lassen können (abgesehen von Einzigartigen Gegenständen). Die verschlossenen Truhen musst du mit einem Schlüssel aufschließen, den du bei einem Kaufmann in der Region kaufen kannst oder von den Monstern der Region fallen gelassen wird. Schlüssel funktionieren immer nur mit den gleichnamigen Truhen, wofür sie gedacht sind.
Hat man eine Truhe gefunden, kann man sie anklicken. Danach kommt eine Sicherheitsabfrage, ob man einen Schlüssel verbrauchen möchte, um die Truhe zu öffnen. Entscheidet man sich dafür, sie Truhe zu öffnen, dauert es einige Sekunden, danach fliegt im hohen Bogen ein Gegenstand heraus. Ungeduldige können die Alt-Taste drücken, um den Gegenstand sofort aufzunehmen. Die Beute, die aus der Truhe kommt gehört immer dem Spieler, der die Truhe benutzt hat. Eine Truhe kann von jedem Spieler der Gruppe genau einmal benutzt werden. Seit dem Update vom 25. Oktober 2006 droppen dieselben Truhen nicht mehr unterschiedlichen Spielern die gleiche Gegenstandsfarbe. Damit fallen einige Gründe für die so genannten Truhenruns weg. Je später im Spiel eine Truhe vorkommt, desto seltenere Beute beinhaltet sie, da ja auch die Schlüssel im teurer und ihre Bewacher schwerer zu besiegen werden.
Locked Chests loot
Loot in locked chests is usually similar to loot dropped by nearby monsters.
For example, Darkstone Chests in Ring of Fire area display these properties:
- Chests in Ring of Fire (Mission) and Abaddon's Mouth (Mission) drop Mursaat related loot.
- Chests in Hell's Precipice (Mission) contain Titan related loot (i.e. Magmas Shield), but one spawned nearby Portal Wraiths contains Undead related loot like Sephis Axe
- when Final Blow quest is active chests spawned in Perdition Rock nearby White Mantle forces drop mantle related loot.
Thus, when aiming for specific loot, look for chests that are in vicinity of monsters that can drop the desired item.
Unlocked Chests
In Pre-Searing, players will find lots of unlocked Hidden Stashes. But in Post-Searing, unlocked chests are very uncommon. However, in the Ascalon region players will find piles of Wreckage that may contain some gold or goods.
Unlocked chests are chests that do not require a key, and can be opened by anyone. However, the loot can be assigned to anyone in your party, including henchmen. In the Realms of the Gods, completing a quest will usually reveal a chest near the reward giver that is also an unlocked chest.
Note: While doing the quest Kilroy Stonekin, Sorrow's Furnace will produce three unlocked chests. These chests are not normally part of the area and will not be there without that quest.
Note: There used to be two unlocked chests in Dreadnought's Drift, as well as one in Ice Floe just outside the exit from Thunderhead Keep. These were removed in the March 2nd update.
Note: Unlocked chests appeared in Elona in various locations after the December 20th update.
Mission/Quest Chests
Several quests include chests (e.g. the quest "The Royal Papers"). These are unlocked and reveal quest items when opened.
