    This, this right here, is what happens when you use a recession as an excuse to cut the budget to public education.

    Lol this is more along the lines of the Mike Judge film Idiocracy. Technology has reduced the need to think, gather, and hunt, thus lowering the overall intelligence of humans. Why bother when I can Google it. When that movie released, I would never have guessed it was prophetic.
    All hail the prophet that is Mike Judge, for his Idiocracy prophecy is near fruition.

    I have an all black Khajiit that rides a black panther and has a smaller one as a pet. I don't have bad luck, I give it out when we cross someone's path.

    I agree it's character specific I.e you play a magic healer you get briarheart, a magic NB pariah but more often than not you will get the pauldron of disappointment or breeches of deconstruction.It matters not who opens it first

    I won't blow my luck by telling you about my drops, but really... I think it works.

    While waiting for the RNG to favour him? I can see that as being likely ;)

    The only observation I've made is there seems to be a global loot cooldown on a per-character basis. When grinding dolmens, I've noticed I get progressively unimpressive loot for a few chests, then it'll give me a "good" one (which is to say, something more than gold and basic stuff). Same for bosses if I'm grinding a loop in Rkindaleft or something. General mobs seem affected by this as well, but I'm not yet sure if normal mob loot and boss mob loot share the same cooldown, or if chests share a cooldown with dropped loot.

    Ok now, new question: does the CP passive Treasure Hunter really affect the chance of getting a Maelstrom weapon at the final chest?

    All the chest loot is garbage, anyway.

    Except for those in Imperial City, at least they offer a chance for Alliance Motif, otherwise I'd dig every chest I find deep into the ground instead.

    I thought you were supposed to eat a Luminous Russula each time before opening a chest to get guaranteed epic drops, right?

    Locations with shared chests between players who are grouped together:
    • Dolmens - as many players as possible.
    • Trials - 12 players.
    • Group dungeons - 4 players.

    Since OP mentioned 4 players in his example, then he was probably thinking of group dungeons, but this post could be about chests in general :p

    I don't know if anything beside the Champion Point passives and Imperial race bonus "luck" affects loot from shared chests. In general all chest loot is poopy.

    Chests from trophy vaults in vWGT and vICP are in my opinion weird, as I have noticed both on bosses/mobs and chests there that stamina users often get magicka gear and magicka users often get stamina gear x_x

    Right.Thats what I said.
    Chests at dolmens are shared.
    Other chests that you find all around arent shared.:)
