Will you be able to pick up the chest now that you have to pick them

Darn good thing my carto is my locksmith...

Oh no, so horrible
Luckily i have alot of lockpicking and a little carto

Definitely liking the idea of being able to pick up the locked chest
Also, I'm guessing this was supposed to be ragged, not worn:
WARNING: Treasure maps leading to Buccaneer's Den now function as one level higher than what they actually are, both for loot and monster spawn. For Worn maps, this means an entire new level of loot - and defenders...

Treasure chests are now sometimes locked, and can even be trapped. Might want to bring along a locksmith...

Ugh... is this REALLY necessary? I had not seriously needed the use of a locksmith in years but now my high carto isn't quite enough to allow me to do chests. The big problem with treasure chests is that--unlike MIB chests--you cannot just pick them up, put them in your pack, and store them away (indefinitely) until some locksmith character comes around and is able to help you open them. If you fail to get a locksmith fast enough, say goodbye to your treasure chest (and it's not like I'm a mage to gate people to middle of Valour island to help me open that chest).

also, what if there are no locksmiths online when I have time to do treasure maps? It's not like I can keep putting it off until a locksmith finally logs in at the same time I'm online (maps only last a week and then they decay). It is very difficult to rely on other people on a regular basis for something you need to do so often. Besides I don't want to turn into a pest that's always bothering people for their locksmiths characters whenever I see them online

"Oh no . . . there's Joram again! I just know he's going to ask me to go get my lockpicker character *goes .private*"

Is there no other way? And no I don't want to create a lockpicker/cartographer character. I already had a locksmith character for a while and I thought it was a boring skill (boring enough to be a tradeskill).

The difficulty of the lock depends on the level of the chest. With even 60 lockpicking, you'll probably be able to handle at least the first 3 levels of maps pretty easily. Worns and especially ragged maps will be more of a problem, but at those levels, you're kind of supposed to need help anyway...

(Yes, that should say 'ragged' on the changes page. I'll fix that.)

Oh well, I guess I'm just going to have to "deal" with it.

Drocket - to digress just a tad and ask a question / make a request regarding MIBs. Is there a reason why an empty MiB chest weighs in at 255 stones ? Could this be reduced ?

Because you're supposed to throw the freaking things away, not store a few dozen of them in your bankbox permanently.

lol

huh ?
you mean i should throw away the 193 i have stored ?

*chuckles*

Appearantly you haven't seen me do 125 chests in 3 days have you lol. I have often popped 3 worns and a ragged pretty much on top of each other, and admitedly it was a bit steep once or twice, I was still victorious.

same here you can do level 5 maps alone if your careful.

Heck yeah, just pop the guardians, lead them off somewhere, then loot the chest. Onto next chest *ducks and runs*
