Legendary locked chest idea

phaneub17_ESO · April 2016

Legendary locked chest.

1. Only one can spawn per day, can randomly appear across all factions and zones minus Cyrodiil.
2. It requires flawless precision that has a higher chance of breaking lock picks and cannot be forced open.
3. Players only have one attempt at the Legendary chest per character, if you fail or back out then you cannot lock pick it again until the next day.
4. Unlike other chests, everyone can attempt to unlock it at the same time, it's free range for anyone and everyone.
5. Once it has been unlocked, it will then become bound to the person that opened it and disappears for everyone else.
6. Should no one find the Legendary chest or unable to unlock it when the reset time hits, it disappears and chooses a new location.
7. Loot from the previous locked Legendary chest rolls over into the next if no one was successful at opening it.

The loot contains 1000 gold not modified by Fortune Seeker. 200 of each raw materials equal to the character's crafting point range (if you have 9/10 Blacksmithing you get 200 Voidstone Ore, likewise if you have 1/10 Clothing you'll get 200 Raw Jute and 200 Rawhide Scraps). It contains 8 random legendary materials (ie: 2 Rosin, 1 Perfect Roe, 3 Tempering Alloy, 1 Dreugh Wax, 1 Kuta). Will always contain at least one Jewelry that is at Legendary grade, all other Jewelry from roll overs will be of random quality including Legendary.

Thats too much for 1 chest, but I do agree that more variety for treasure chests would be great.
Also, would be nice to have trapped chests, like in Morrowind.

With more interesting loot of course.

I wish the loot-pool was bigger, I think Green Gem 5k, Blue Gem 10k, Purple Gem 30k, Legendary Gem 100k, should be added as global loot. More surprises, the better. Why not some stuff what gives CP too.

Hehe the fortune-finder in me wants this idea in the game

Even if its just for one day

)) hahaha

I dislike this idea, mainly because of the lagging when opening chests. I'm around 90-120ms ping, and the pins jump around like there is no tomorrow. When lag free, I will open even the hardest chests easily. When lagging, I sometimes even fail on the easiest chests. So giving everyone a try at the same time will result in an unfair advantage to lag-free people.
I *do* like the idea of the high value chest though; one per zone per day would be a great thing, but they should act like every other chest.

That is a really cool idea! At first I thought that you meant that everyone can unlock it and get the items. In which case when someone finds it, they will post the location around and people would all come running from every corner of the map to find it, it would be crazy but awesome

But since you say that actually the chest disappears once unlocked, people would be less likely to mention it. If it is extremely difficult, it would be amazing.

If I found the chest, I'd probably be too nervous to try picking it because I really suck at lock picking

I agree that true master thieves such as myself everywhere would enjoy the challenge of a chest with a tougher lock than master and actually have to pick it instead of get lazy and force it (I always pick it, never force

) but I disagree on the rest. Also don't think it will happen as master lock is supposed to be the toughest...

They might not be in the game anymore. I have not seen one in while.

Because we make the impossible possible and thus impossibility cannot exist.

I remember coming across one either in beta or just after launch. I assumed it was meant for higher level and I wasn't going to touch it, then figured why not, what do I have to lose? So I picked it and had no problem opening it. Was just a normal chest like any other, was very disappointed.

Did not even read the entire list.

Zos, please say no to this bad suggesting. Ugh. Just ugh.

I love the idea! What about Cadwell's zones?

It would also be cool if a GM was involved in its placement rather than having it spawn in set locations.

Except GMs NEVER enter the public servers. Yet.

And this is why they call the lottery an idiot tax.

I dunno, I'd just make the Master Chests appear a little more often, and actually fill them with nice things like Gold set items, Purple and Gold Motifs and whatnot.

Master Chests are the second easiest to open in my opinion the only downside to them is a shorter time period, but otherwise the pin drop is extremely smooth in place that you can find it much quicker. Advanced is the hardest one to open, it jiggles slightly can be annoying when finding the spot.
