Heavy crates and heavy sacks are not the same for Zerith Var

Heavy crates do not gleam with Zerith perk, and if you loot them you won't get rapport increased.
I thought that heavy crates and heavy sacks were the same except for the shape...
I don't understand why heavy crates are not equalized to heavy sacks...

    It does seem like an oversight.

    I would guess heavy crates simply were forgotten about, as they are not very common/don't appear in very many areas. I actually forgot they were a thing until reading this.

    Don't the heavy crates only occur in Coldharbour? I think that's the only zone I've seen them in. Maybe there's just not enough of them to bother.

    I have so few heavy crates that I had forgotten them as well.

    Yes, heavy crates in Coldharbor I would guess are basically the same as heavy sacks anywhere else.

    I think this is just an oversight, so perhaps this thread will bring attention to it.

    I really like the perk, by the way. I never miss looting a heavy sack that's in range for me to see it.

    Well, I don't either - but not because of a companion - because of 7 years in game, so I know where they all are....

    sometimes they are difficult to find in dungeons... no exp will help you there, because they are so hidden and scattered. The perk helps a lot.

    I had no idea Heavy Crates even existed. That's pretty cool!

    Also it is worth pointing out that Zerith-var hates when you bring him to Coldharbour, which is the only place where Heavy Crates are found...

    Zerith var hates just Hollow City... not whole Coldharbour...

    Well I just discovered the existance of heavy crate even after years of playing this game just because of your post, and maybe Zenimax also totally forgot their existance which would explain why it doesn't work with Zerith xD

    I don't do dungeons so didn't know they were in them.

    There's two chests and two heavy sacks in each and they can be a pain in the rear to find.

    Thats not guaranteed is it? Bc I've missed a LOT of chests and heavy sacks in dungeons if so.

    Yep. 2 sacks and 2 chests in every dungeon.

    Note that some of the mid-period dungeons with secret side areas snuck a third chest in those places, but the latest ones count the sides as one of their two.

    There was also Selene's Web that used to have a bug where it would have almost all heavy sacks every run, but that's since been patched as well to only offer 2.

    And Selene's Web's colour palette makes seeing heavy sacks pretty hard, so that passive is very handy in there.

    I've often wondered why Coldharbour even had Heavy Crates. Guess even ZOS forgot about them.

    Heavy sacks can only spawn at very specific locations in each dungeon, so once one has experienced where they are found, one can check just those spots. Even if they’re hard to see, they get an activator to loot them if they are there. Between other players pointing them out and finding them oneself, it’s quite possible to learn where they can be through experience. Many players do that.

    Thanks all, just want to confirm this is a bug and Heavy Crates will be included in this passive in a future patch.
