U all deserve credit for your attempts via problem solving skills however now its time for the TRUTH!!

Step 1) get cleric to cast bless on each chest
Step 2) squash other baseless rumours as to increasing chest riches - there is only step 1.

May we all be blessed and be riched

So, I'm running on my rogue and decide to join a group doing Xorian Chiper. There is this paladin in the group deciding that he wants to be the 'leader' of the party so he starts barking orders... (Mind you, he doesn't even have the star) and the whole time you can tell he obviously doesn't know the quest that well even. I don't think I've seen anyone bark an order and ask a million questions in a couple sentences before now. Anywho... dude is already ****ing me off. We go to grab the last key for the chest room, and *ding* He rushes head first into the traps, followed very closely by more orders to get him to a shrine.

Here is where it gets interesting. I head off to the chest room to undo the traps and grab me some loot! I gotta have my loot, though sadly I got nothing that great. Anywho... following shortly after the last chest is ripped open, this dude like has a mild panic attack that I opened all the chest. So... apparently the new rumor is that waiting till the end of the quest gets you better loot.

Anywho... long story short, fail rumors and I want to push another guy to the bottom of The Pit.

>:3

Yeah, but they are all far too debaucherous to be worthy sacrifices...

Even after they introduce wasted feats for people to "bless" the chest these rumours are still around. I have to admit that on my first 2 months playing I did use the diplomacy key until I got that "ding" so meh.

This is actually an old rumor that recirculates periodically. Generally with some noob (like your pally) who just heard it for the first time and went into panic mode (ZOMG DONT OPEN THE FIRST CHRONO CHEST OR THE OTHER TWO WONT SPAWN!!!!) I actually fell victim to the Chrono rumor for some time, cos it was new ad there was no way to disprove it other than popping the chest and testing the theory -- which no one was willing to do. Then one day someone told everyone to stuff it and did it anyway -- and forever removed the scales from our eyes. Now its POSSIBLE that it may have been bugged when it was new, but more than likely, when the quest first came out, folks who didnt know HOW to spawn the chests assumed they got screwed because they didnt wait and that perpetuated the rumor. Funny thing is, I still hear it from time to time when I lead a Chrono -- and I make it a point to squash it right away.

I think the rumor your pally referenced was started by someone who got sick of ppl running up to the chests in quests and looting while the rest of the party was still fighting. Since loot is obviously the driving factor for that type of person, what better way to get them to wait (and theoretically HELP) than to tell them that doing so increases the chance of getting better loot? Its not as if you can PROVE it one way or the other, given the random nature of loot, without direct intervention/comment from a dev, right?

a chrono rumor on orien is you get better loot if you open to chest after the tent blows up.

i guess if nothing els it teaches new people to follow instructions in raids

Just tell them for each death their loot goes down by 10% until the only thing that will come up for them is masterwork gems. Once they figure out what a masterwork gem is they might be able to play the game without dying .

The best way to get improved loot...its got to be done in a very special way.

1. Diplo the chest until you hear the "ding".
2. Go into sneak and shadow hump the North West Corner, and only the North West Corner.
3. Equip a throwing weapon and create a weapon circle around the chest so the loot demons can get in.
4. Dance with chest for 1 minute.
5. Wave to air (not a person you have to select the air).
6. Open chest with a +10 loot bonus.

Enjoy the fantastic loot. If for some reason your loot isn't as good.....one of the steps wasn't done correctly.
