Dungeon chests

Saucy_Jack

So for those that don't know, chests in dungeons (not delves) don't show up until you're past the first boss at least. And I sort of understand the rationale for that; the devs want you to EARN dungeon gear, so they're not leaving any chests out to be found before the first test of strength and/or group numbers.

But dangit, if I can solo fight my way through groups of mobs to find the odd dungeon heavy sack, I should be able to fight my way through groups of mobs to find the odd dungeon chest or two, without having to go through a one-shotting boss first.

THIS IS FUNKY BULL SHRIMP, DEVS!

I’ve never seen anyone blame the devs for not wanting to group up for a group dungeon ... until now.

There are chests even before the first boss in Blackheart Haven for example.
They appear quite randomly on assigned locations, once here, other time there, somethimes none seem to appear at all.
Chest farming is not a rewarding experience alone, the more teammates you have, the more times you can open the same chest and exchange goods found in them between yourselves.
Try and get some friends around for the runs, you'll all benefit greatly from that.

I'm just saying, I went into the Frostvault dungeon, and the area before the first boss is pretty large. In a delve, that amount of space would've had at least one or two chests, but somehow that whole area got skipped over by the invisible dwemer that place chests around the world (which is now canon and I won't let anyone say otherwise).

My complaint isn't centered around the fact that it's a group dungeon and I'm solo; it's centered on the fact that there's a large disparity in chest density in and out of dungeons. Me being solo just highlights that disparity.

There can be a maximum of two chests per dungeon instance. This is just RNG, as there is more area after the fist boss so there are more spawns.

Is this true or made up.

I know right? Sometimes I really have to just STAY AWAY from the forums because I might get myself in trouble.

No, its not funky.
Your gonna get a set that supposedly drops from bosses.
And as long as its not dlc dungeons.
You can solo every shiitt for brains in that normal dungeon.

as a person that farmed chests in vCoA, i have access to at least 10 spots without fighting anything, with 8 more spots for possible chests if i clear some mobs or go on a nb (invisibility).
