Treasure chests used to do a LOT more damage than this. Good times for killing bots. Had to use bows or else you also buy the farm. Also gives you a nice head start in case you got a mimic.
Hehehe maybe someone buffed it? Ever used a pp to go to blazing swamp and buff the corresponding resist on mobs especially the orc warlords? Two-three in a nice cluster and the first one hit is guaranteed to UD. GG.
Chest don't blow up anymore. But I do know that the first hit they do is about 2-3x more damage than the hits afterwards. A critical can mean instant death to a mage.
Well, Monastery Guardians in MoS also can crit, and they have a magic attack when they blow up. Last week, one hit me for 15,384 damage. I have only 6k HP and we had just finished buffing up for the next round. Quite a surprise there, since they normally only hit me for 1500 or so.
everything and everyone has a chance to crit - some more then others.
it just happened to be your lucky day.
now that being said - i would go buy lottery tickets.
your luck might continue...:)
Don't feel so bad, they used to be a lot worse. One time I used whirlwind and hit a treasure chest by accident, just so happens that the chest blew up and killed a friend of mine. To this day he still remembers me doing that and holds that against me..lol. :D
I've gotten magic crit'd by mobs too so its some unlucky instance where you were the victim.
The chests use to be much worse as people have said, on Devil's Isle if anyone used aoe anything chances are you would blow up at least one person in your party as the chest triggered, through no fault of your own.
I remember one time in Devil's Isle, a couple Chronicles ago, someone hit a chest by accident and it took out half our party of 7-9 people. Everyone else who survived was very low on HP lol
Ahhh, this reminds me of the good ole' UO days of when i would trap a chest with deadly poison and the person that opened it would run around screaming for help. 5 seconds later they would be dead.
people would loot the corpse in town "Guards" then those people would be dead. Man i used to make a good living doing that.
Yeah, you used to be able to "chest grief" by attacking a real chest which would explode and deal much worse damage than that AoE.
That was a mimic you hit. Mimics have a very high damage skill with a very long cooldown; you'll notice its attack animation stops (there's no animation for the skill) then you get a ton of damage, and I believe that skill can both miss and crit, similar to a dagger skill.
I recently finished off someone who was partying with me by word of fearing near a box - it was an emergency, I was almost out of mana and wouldn't have been able to outheal the remaining mobs...
So...
Well, needless to say he was not too pleased. At least I was already dead on the ground by the time he gained his bearings long enough to get grumpy.
Lol - let see - the lowest lvl for treasure box in BS is lvl 66 - its 5 lvls above you being lvl 61 - not only they always hit harder than any mobs - but this one is min. 5 lvls above you (if not more).
things that are wrong. that big green worm is sitting on your head. the chest is still there. normally they dissapear when they do these sort of suicide attempts. lets see and oh... those tress are aggro, which implies that they spawned there. i think you had been lying there for some time.
I still got 450 deluxe keys lvl 7 in my WH.Im not even gonna try opening 1 up with my "nuker".
Why not?
Nukers have it easy, if you can one shot the chest you get whats inside, no key needed. I've actually gotten several D enchant scrolls from one shotting chests with a low level alt.

Yep, I use to one shot the boxes around Dion and breka orcs and get at least 1 EAD a day.
I cant begin to describe how unfair that is to classes who *can't* 1-shot anything.
