so, this exedus quest and collecting items with thief
What does everyone know about the collecting of quests items on a thief with remove trap and detect hidden. i heard there are chests that you can detect and and remove trap. what are the difficulties and is it worth the trouble?
-
OK
Just a theif can steal from exodous zealots (red guys) - you get an exodous item every now and then and get some gold most of the time. But every now and then i get taint or diseased bark etc.
The blue guys have always given me gold.
If you have detect at gm just walk around till you get a message that your keen sences have....
when you get that use detect and you will find a box close to you. On Siege i have to use lockpick and then open it and take the blast (or use remove trap). Following someones advice i do it in stone form so as not to get poisoned. in box will be gold, gems, exodous item (sometimes) and essence of pression etc

Chests appear to be random. I can't discern a pattern. I know where you're going, and I like it...but I've been trying for a week to discern a pattern in casual play and I just cant.
There is also the annoying fact that the monsters down there can (infrequently) reveal you, and you can't recal back in with your loot.
EDIT: Also, can anyone confirm that you can get all the Exodus pieces from the boxes? So far, I've only got altar, rite and robe...

if you smoke bomb when revealed and wait until timer up to start moving again... is that enough to avoid constant rerevealings

I use an invisiblity potion when required!

Stone form solves a lot of problems. Mostly, you can't get poisoned, which means you pop the first trap, pop the second trap, hit your hide macro and you're safe to loot the hidden box.

i was thinking of running remove trap which i trained on all my accounts with my odd ball skill trainer
-
I die a lot using remove trap if not in stone form.

yikes ... okay. do you need focus for that to be effective? how high does myst have to be for that to be effective too
-
I always run as high of focus as i can but not sure if it is a requirment for stone form.
My template is
Myst 120
Focus 120
Detect 100
Hide 100
stealth 75
lock pick 100
mage 105 (+15 spell book)
other usefull skills ninja at 50

Yea Gim that template is almost identical to the one I used to farm wands. I wrote a script that farms locked spawning chests for wands & only keeps the Greater Healing wands with 70+ charges etc. Sadly I only had to run it for a week to meet all my needs for ages to come & flood the local market. I think I did make a point of including HP Regen on the suit though & if I got blew up enough that another chest would perhaps kill me then I'd just tell it to wait till hp > whatever etc.

Great minds think alike. That is my template exactly, except the Ninjitsu which I needed to stone off to a different character. I really miss the smokebombs...
