Ldon chests - a questionFollow

Can someone explain to me the use of these misterious dangerous chest?

thanks

thank you but anyone also have some info on the spells used to open them and how efective these are if you ar not a rogue?

The chests are set up to be trapped cursed or locked. A cleric can detect/open a cursed chest with the proper level spell.
Rougues pick and disarm the Locked chests.
Mages/wizards one of them if not both can dectect and disarm trapped chests.
May be off on the exact name of the types of chests.

people open these wrong and set off the trap because they don't use the spells/skills in correct order.

1. inspect
2. disarm (the spell that requires the scyring stone)
3. remove the lock

then you just type /open

if done in the correct order, i have never saw a trap go off.

it is a good idea to get good at doing these as one of the trials in MPG (group trial) requires all of the classes that can open chests, be opening them during the trial. you can get away with only a wisdom and intel opening, or a rogue/bard type with either a wisdom or intel type. but i would say need at least two of the 3 kinds to get it done in time.

you open chests while another class pacifies wanders, collect 300 "coins" from the chests to get the boss to spawn. you have a limited time.

Sometimes stat food is in the chest, I have seen augs, weapons, and trash items as well.
No your rogue cant open all types of chests. See my post above.
Three types of "traps" one way to remove each specific type.
Of course you can keep bashing the chest setting off the trap each time until A) the chest is destroyed with its contents B) you die from the trap, or C) you do open it.
Note C result is very uncommon.

yes .. used to be before they added traps to the chests that the tank just waxed em as you went threw the LDoN .. that was too easy and lasted about a month .. then they traped em .. first time I waxed one and the entre group got drunk ,.. or lost there buffs , or everyone became sick (uncurabbly) .. we figured out that they were traped now.
Second .. they added the spells and abilites for certain toons to detct dissarm and open em .. but half the time and becasue the kinks hadnt been worked out .they still went off
Got to the point that they left me solo after the win .. in the dungeon before the timmer ran out to suffer the consequences of waxing the chest to see what was inside..
Lastly .. forget they are there .. there more trubble than they are worth ..

Some of the trapped chests will effect everyone in the dungeon. Only safe place is outside.

From my understanding there is 3 types of locks.

1. Mechanical locks. These are the ones Rogues deal with.

2. Cursed Locks. These required a priest to disarm. These are the ones my enchanter could NEVER disarm.

3. Magical Locks. These are the ones pure casters get spells for.

And of course sometimes you get lucky and there is no lock at all.
