    Talking Noob questions: How do treasure chests recover?

    I remember hearing that the first time you loot a check it begins a one week timer. Each successive loot drops the value until the 10th time means it is ransacked and will give nada.

    So does that mean if I play the adventure once, if I want to keep having the best loot, I cannot play it again for a week? I've noticed that if I run an adventure on normal-hard-elite on the same day the treasure at elite is rarely if ever as good as it was on normal.

    For that matter all my +1 items on korthos island chests were from solo difficulty.

    Thanks!

    Not quite. It isn't a linear downward slope in quality from beginning to end. Instead, the majority of the pulls from the chest are the same until you're almost at the end.

    It usually takes 7-9 pulls in a 1 week period to ransack a chest. If this was a level 10 chest, the progression would look something like this:
    Pull - Level Of Chest
    01 - 10
    02 - 10
    03 - 10
    04 - 9
    05 - 9
    06 - 9
    07 - 8
    08 - 8 <RANSACK WARNING>
    09 - 5
    10 - 5
    11 - 4
    12 - 4
    13 - 3
    14 - 3
    15 - Empty Chest<EMPTY CHEST WARNING>
    16 - Empty Chest

    In addition to the dramatic drop-off in quality, any special or named items which the chest might normally contain will cease dropping following a ransack.

    Not sure on that one. I have pulled tome pages and named items from LoTD end chest back in the day when it was a very nice loot run.

    Curious to hear what others experience has been on this.
