It has just come to our attention that a high diplomacy skill DOES affect the loot given in chests. We have done extensive testing on this and we have come up with the following procedure to guarantee that you get the best possible loot every single time:

1) Equip all of your best +CHA items
2) Circle the chest three time moving counter-clockwise.
3) Use your Diplomacy skill
4) Open the chest from the north-facing side of the chest.

Also, "looking for ham" may, in some cases, affect loot-gained. We still aren't sure at what point in the process you should turn on /lfh though. As soon as we know, we’ll be sure to let you know.

We apologize for the confusion on the matter and we are truly sorry that you have gotten any less than the maximum loot for the past year. Following the steps above should ensure this doesn't happen again.

Considering how long it took to squash that rumor, this joke may be upon yourself. :>

[sparty55]

I like their LOTR april fools joke a little better, but this one is still pretty good.

Question though, are you sure we shouldn't be flanking the chest?

Haha Smurfs

You have failed to mention the effect that /dance has on a chest with a high CHA.

Nae nae, its /dance2 and only works with diplomacy.

ya know I didn't know aboutthe widdershins thing but other than that I was sure this was the case... mostly because I never do any of it and my loot performs certain actions to goats.

ok, not fair. I saw this today and read it and almost fell out my chair.

Then I looked at the date. lol

[EightyFour]

Yeah I remember, first it was you had to use deplomacy on the chest and than it was you hade to have a high deplomacy when that one was running thin. I don't know what it went to after that.

"Who has the highest deplomacy guys, open the chest."

[Riggs]

Awesome.

I heard that consuming an entire wand of cure critical on the chest (select chest with wand in hotbar and then heal the chest 50 times) raised the loot level by +1, but that may be a mith.

as cure crit wands are not sold, you would be very lucky to run into a cure crit wand fully charged dropping in a quest.

[Hvymetal]

I thought the only 2 sure ways to increase your chances of getting better loot were to a) cast grease on the chest, or b) cast Diminsion Door on the chest as it was being opened?

[Indrn_Fretgoop]

Doing Xorian with some friends one of them was just being annoying and doing the sneak hump thing on me while I was looting. I got a chaos garde and a reaver ring!! /dance, dip, running around is nothing, hump your friends so they get the best loot!

~can picture everyone doing all 4 things on a chest~ Well there goes the 5 min loot runs that just turned into 20 minutes!!! ~LMAO~ Nice samera

- Just an observation.

It is interesting that so many are willing to scoff at the notion that in a game riddled with flaws (most very minor but a couple major) the code might be so mixed up as to add npc scripts to chests. It is nice to see that level of scepticism, however. It's just too bad that it doesn't come out when it's really necessary, such as when, for example, a laughably weak case for war is being made.

For the record, when this rumour first developed during the beta, after trying it a few times, I dismissed it as just that - a rumour.

[DragonKiller]

I just use /grovel & /beg. Seems to help, specially on my High CHA Pally.

Keep the politics off the board.

Keep the politics off the board.

It was a simple statement regarding the questionable level of critical thinking people are willing to employ while mocking others for precisely the same thing. If you think it had anything to do with politics, save for as the vehicle by which the example was historically played out then you've misunderstood the point behind the post.

[craythegray]

Keep the politics off the board.

I don't think he was brining polictics to the board. Just making an xample that the educated could understand.


Just my two cents.
