Thank you for loot changes on detecting hidden chests

See screenshot, i previously did tests on Vesper prior to patching and the loot was pretty abysmal to say the least. Now its pretty decent. I probably shouldnt post this as everyone will be getting their thieves out. Running 2.5k luck but very very squishy stealth tamer

I can post skills if needed but setup is very very tight and need to carry around extra items to boost certain stats at certain times

But thats a pretty decent haul for one town invasion, 2 Totems from one invasion!!

    Damn, thx for sharing.. i'll have to try to thief now.. u doing more artifact than I do on the paladin without even considering all the rest ^^
    So rather than recognise the effort the botters went to, to set all that up - for the benefit of the players, to help get certain items, something you could never be bothered to do, you would rather drag people backwards to your neanderthal world?

    only really works in Vesper...rest of the cities pretty tough to get more than 10 artis, go over the bridge in the far NE corner and just do a loop from the start of the bridge down se, around past the bottom of the 2 house between the animal pen in the bottom left corner and repeat...occasionally go in the houses too. Thats it. I now have 5 totems, 4 from Vesper, 1 from Skara (1 failed in Skara),

    My pet tends to get around 25% of the artis

    noted, the tailor shop outside the city east of the bank.

    Thanks again.

    May be anecdotal, but I have also noticed that Felucca chests have less "junk" chests (smoke bombs, gem sack, ect). I tend to pop deco arty/grave chests far more often there than Tram.
    My pronouns are: Cry/Me/A/River

    how much luck on your character?

    Problem with that is...my luck is around 415, I do my chests mostly in Fel for the Fel luck bonus.  I have gotten 2 totems. I bumped my luck up and hit a luck statue just to see the difference? Haven't seen a single totem since.

    Luck is a fickle mistress ;)

    i would say good luck...but that wont help :-) 

    if you are doing it with only around 2k luck max i think 2 Totems is a pretty decent result

    There's another word for luck, and Fickle aint it.
    A Goblin, a Gargoyle, and a Drow walk into a bar . . .

    Never be afraid to challenge the status quo

    well luck has nothing to do with it, but i know some of you are obsessed with it.
     a chance of a greater number of properties on said loot, and a chance that those properties will be of greater intensity. It should be noted, however, that this is only a chance of more and better loot, and that Luck has no direct affect on what specific items will spawn and what specific properties will spawn on those items.
    but to answer your question, i use my t-mapper and has 2830 luck

    Considering u can buy luck potion from cash shop for more artifacts.. i'd assume luck plays a major role on that RNG.. but RNG is still RNG without law of diminushing return (or the opposite)

    yea i think you are right, i tested with 3k+ luck and then spoke to some other chest hunters and they were running much less luck and still had found totems

    Would be nice if they just told us though, so we dont have to speculate, just a simple YES or NO would be nice
