The Mystery of Dread Thicket Large Chest
" Yup. However, doubling the lvl req on DH, was a direct nerf, not a buff. As I said, so much nerfage, the bow is almost useless now. Maybe good for like 1 lvl. GGG - Why you no?

" Yea been there read that, and i agree , it generalizes the changes, but it doesnt change the fact, i believe they ruined that bow. It has now sat in my chest with ZERO use, and mine is a 6os 5l O.o At any rate, topic at hand was the Thicket, and yes they changed it without mentioning it until after it was in effect. Noticed by me instantly. GGG - Why you no? Last edited by JoannaDark#6252 on Feb 28, 2013, 2:09:25 PM

I hit a large chest either 2/3 or 3/3 times on level 1 of the prison going through all three difficulties. Haven't seen one yet otherwise in OB.
But yeah, even back in CB when certain areas had guaranteed large chests AND they dropped more stuff, I don't remember ever getting anything all that great from one. Last edited by crl775m#4756 on Feb 28, 2013, 2:09:11 PM

I've been finding alot of them since OB, mostly in church dungeons in fellshrine and dread thicket. In CB I saw them alot in dread thicket and the submerged passage. RNG just be hating some people.

I'm pretty sure the Dread Thicket's transition to the new Large Chest system was supposed to be in the 0.10.0 patch notes. Most likely an oversight, what with Chris having to sift through hundreds of changes trying to figure out which ones deserve a patch note. :P
The Dread Thicket and the Catacombs still have much higher chances of a Large Chest than other areas. Code warrior

Instead of large chests you're probably better off doing the following:
- Load up on as much IIR/IIQ. - Load up on movement speed and quicksilver flasks. - Equip a decoy totem. - Hit Felshrine Ruins - Systematically zig zag across the entire zone, popping chests, smashing cairns, and upturning boulders... whilst ignoring all mobs. - Use the DT to move mobs away from lootable objects. No mob grinding, no RNG on whether Large Chest is there, items/currencies would probably be better than a LC anyway. :D Chris Wilson: "Today was the proudest day of my life."

" The boudlers, pots and chests aren't affected by IIR/IIQ. At least the pots and boulders aren't not a 100% sure about chests. You used to be able to make a MF build just for breakables back in CB, but devs fixed that. I used to have rarity and quantity just sitting on an unspecced coldsnap, just for the breakables.
