New Epic Chests

[JesterOI]

The new epic chests need some looking into.

Magical Jeweled chests are still WAY better than the new ones.

Was at zons lastnight and picked my way into 2 of the new chests.
1st drop was: 1diamond, 24 golden mith shurikens, 5000 some gold.
2nd drop was slightly better, but nothing near what Magical Jeweled drops. Heck, not even near regular Jeweled chest.

Maybe it was just because it was in zons instead of planes?

Not better as in sheer quantity of items? Because it should be the same code forming drops on the planar bosses as it is the planar chests.

Also, there's 2 levels of epic chests - Ornate Mithril and Ornate Adamantine. Each gives higher levels of gear. The ones at amazons will be the lower.

If that is what is normally in the epic chests, adamantite or mithril, I'd rather see more Magical Jewelled.

Maybe it's just me, but I felt somewhat let down when opening the chest, thought there would have been more.

There's definitely less but higher quality items.

Most I've seen drop out of a chest is maybe 5 items, but there were quite a few adamantine items in the many I've picked.

If the rare items were to indeed drop, then the chests would have to be FAR more scarce than they are, like maybe 1 chest of that caliber spawning in any 24 hr in-game time period at one random boss location.

The DC should also be upped if that were to be the case I feel. 70 may seem high to some but loot of that caliber should either be restricted to a lucky chance of it surviving a chest bashing, or giving rogues some use and making the thing DC 90+

My 2 cents.

Found one of these chest in Earth last night. DC to recover the trap was 65. I think this is a pretty good DC and I for one will need to get gloves or rings to steal this trap.
Success is not possible 20 + 41 = 61 vs DC 65

Thanks for making it challenging.
