Title: Lockpicking spawning chests
Post by: 12TimesOver on November 17, 2015, 01:02:32 PM
Hi guys -

I created a Lockpicker today just for grins and found that Rebirth doe snot seem to have the standard Trinsic and Vesper Bank spawning chests. Before I keep running all over with my remaining 400 gold and no armor lol, any advice as to if there are any world-spawn low level or other chests to be picked on Rebirth?

Also, check out Fel Vesper.  I also added some chest to Tram Vesper. 

Added some to Trinsic Tram.  Fel had some but I bumped it a bit.

Oh cool, very nice :)

The chests in Vesper usually range from level 2 through 4. Chests in Trinsic bank (behind the interior locked door) are usually 2 x 4 and 1 x 3.

We have those training Chests, but there is a bug i want to fix about them before i can spawn them again. Give me 1-2 Days then i will check them and may include them onto next fix.

Ah, that may be why I couldn't open any of them :)

I forget the message I was getting but there was a lengthy pause after targeting the chests, maybe 5 seconds or so, then I would get a message. I'm at work right now so don't have it in front of me but I'm happy to test again whenever you need!

Pretty tough to get going secondary characters going there, at least compared to prod shards. Been interesting to have to care about every little gold piece lol. I've even resorted to picking through the Luna garbage to NPC resell stuff getting dumped in just to get the $$ for a horse hah!!

I can tell you, that we working on making Rebirth to be a better place almost every day. I also know, that we are not EA acurate, this is because we dont get enough help finding issues and then resolve them.
Some things we may handle different on Rebirth, but our direction was always be similar like EA.

about the Chests :
- There should be respawning chests on Vesper, i guess TM would be able to spawn them.
- An Ex-Dev contributed Training Chests for lockpicker, but i want to review them once more in order to keep a certain code Quality alive.

Don't take my "hard" comment as criticism, it wasn't. Hard isn't bad and "EA accurate" isn't necessarily good.

Since i've never played a free shard before I have no idea what should be reported as a "bug" or issue vs what is simply supposed to be different from EA and is intended. For example, on an EA shard I can pick low-level spawning chests with a low-level lockpicker or buy regs and blank scrolls and turn them into a little bit of profit while training Inscription. Just because I was unable to do that on Rebirth doesn't mean these are bugs, they are just different. That's fine.

TM did spawn some chests in Vesper. I can't pick them still lol, guess 50 isn't going to be enough even for the low-level bank crates. My goal was to be able to train the skill without using any help from another player, that's why I was going after the bank chests. I thought this would be interestingly fun but also a potential way to get some starter items and maybe a little gold for further training since the usual methods aren't necessarily valid.

I had been playing OSI for 17 years and never try free server before.    The main reason I try rebirth, is because ppl only have good think too said about it.  I love the fact that Rebirth look close to OSI but have his own twist.  I haven't meet any player yet (except for Crisis and 12TimesOver )

We have developed technique to train and make money over the years that work for some of us.  We were usually able to train and advance our skill, and we have hit a wall and don't know enough to rectify our approach.  As I get stronger and can survive the 1-2 hit kill stages, I will explore now and see the full potential of your work.    I love the way you code the IA of some monster. 

 
PS. Crome since we talking about bug, I try to register on bug forum, but can't see the info (letter/number) on the right.  so I can't complete the registration.

You will need to send me or Crome a PM on RebirthUO with the username and password you want and we will be able to add you to tracker.  The bug tracker does allow anonymous posts of bugs too. So you don't have to be logged in to post a bug.

So the level 1 chests require 52 lockpicking skill.  Level 2 requires 72. 

What Pure is making for us is a set of lockpicking practice chests so you can raise that 2.0 that you need to start farming them.  I've added a bunch of treasure chests and I'll probably spawn a bunch of the practice chests over in the Britain keep just west of the bridge.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the info, very cool to know.

I was going to just go ahead and make a tinkered chest to see how it goes but maybe I'll wait and test what you're doing instead.

Actually if you make the tinker chests just to get you over the hump (2.0) then you should be good to go.  

I remember doing the exact same thing on EA now that we're talking.  There was that hump so I found some stacks of practice chests from players to get going.  The escort quests have a relatively short timer and there's around 700-900 gold per.  That's actually how I funded my startup there.

I'd love to turbocharge treasure hunting on Rebirth too.  I've just never done much of it.  I might start a Thunter just to play around.

I'm with you on the Escort quests on Prod shards, New Haven escorts give you 500gp and it takes just a few seconds to run them to where they are going right in town with a short delay between. The New Haven quests aren't around on Rebirth though. I did run into one looking for an escort to another town, Jhelom maybe, last night but I had 40 Magery with no runes on that character.

On the Treasure Hunting, I ended up finding my mapper on my original Rebirth account from a few months ago which already has 100 LP. If you ever need any T-Hunter input, testing, etc on Rebirth I'm happy to jump in. I've been building them and playing them since I first started playing UO, including my first one done 100% by hand on Atlantic (ugh), and I would love to help out making things work better on Rebirth (if applicable).

One thing I noticed when testing the Vesper chests, I'm getting almost no armor/weapons/jewelry and those that I have gotten have zero mods on them. Is that intentional just to make things harder or just something to look at fixing sometime? I haven't gone around to all the usual spawning chest stomping grounds (Destard, Trinsic, Yew Crypts, etc,etc) yet to check out those 3's and 4's.

Must of the chests at the Trinsic bank are level 3 & 4.  Both tram and fel.

also in the Halloween dungeon I spawned 3 new groups of level 3 & 4 chests.  The one in the spider spawn is kinda inconvenitent, so there's 3 more now.

Odd loot table if they are 3 and 4 chests. I don't know how they should compare with EA, or Origin back before Imbuing and Shame loot, but they are definitely low. On the other hand that may be the point and the way it is supposed to be on Rebirth, I have no idea lol.

I'll be happy to do some testing and post some results/comparisons tonight from home if it is helpful to see; if not I won't bother you with it.

I'll have to look into a few of them.  From what I've seen so far, the dungeon treasure chests aren't all that great.  But I think I was looking at level 1&2.  In the cities, there's a variety of levels.  I can give you the exact numbers that spawn but I know in Vesper there are really only level 1&2.
