Why does the Zaishen Chest not count as high-end???? - Guild Wars Forums

Kelfer · Mar 25, 2011, 09:09 PM // 21:09

This is a baffling one and should be corrected.

After all, it takes a fair bit of play or money to get a z-key !!

A lockpick you can buy, as you can lots of other keys, for high-end chests, yet this doesn't count towards treasure hunter title!

Please fix or deliver a reasonable explanation.......

Treasure hunter
Yeah finding the zchest is really hard

Because high-end chests count as ones opened with a key that's 600g or higher from a merchant (or all HM chests). You also can open it as many times as you have keys - talk about an easy (if not pricey) way to work on treasure hunter if it did count.

Zaishen chest gets you a different title, because it's very different from regular chests.

I don't know any "real" reasons why it does not count, but personally, I would not count the Zaishen chest as high-end because it is really easy to access. One could just map or even create a pvp character, withdraw lots of money, buy tons of keys, and just do a massive click combo on the chest. Which would also lead to the title,if the Zaishen chest were to count, to be easily spammable (which would bring up the whole debate as with the drunkard title change)

KIDGOOCH · Mar 25, 2011, 09:17 PM // 21:17

The main reason it doesn't count is simply because it already counts towards its own title, Zaishen Title Track.

There is only one Zaishen chest, and a limited number of ways to get the key to open it.

The high-end chests are random in location and they have the ability to be opened by a lockpick and if your luck is sufficiently high you can retain the lockpick to use again.

So, while you are opening a chest, the instances are different as PvE and PvP.

It's not a chest you 'hunt'.
Even Dungeon Chests and the HA chest would make more sense than the Zaishen Chest.

Meh. Chest should randomly spawn when you kill enemies, instead being just there.

suggesting that it be corrected implies that there's a mistake

it is not a mistake that the z-chest is not considered a high-end chest, and there are a multitude of logical and obvious reasons why it is not considered one

and that track gives you a whopping 5 points, psh who needs 1?

turbo234 · Mar 26, 2011, 04:59 AM // 04:59

because zkeys don't have a real set amount and price is set by the playerbase.

Sierraa · Mar 26, 2011, 05:55 AM // 05:55

This is getting a bit out of hand. :[ I would assume that the zchest counts for zaishen only and that's the reason why it's not for any other title. If you would still like to know, your best bet is to ask the dev team.
