Just the 1-2 chests around the snow worm area. If you use the resign trick to rezone directly to the Boreal portal you can do each run in 35-50 seconds.

Silly me I knew that

I guess I'll give this event a try, since I just got Golden from the last festival maybe that will help with some of the picking ratio.

But only for a bit, since I can't afford that many locks, my entire account savings went into that bloody title...

Is that true? Wow - I rely on these (especially the elite tomes) to keep funding my lockpicks

Proabably a good time to do the Dwarven Boxing Tournament on HM with my Assassin then considering there's a chest there on just about every run.

I don't think the prices will really drop. I mean, it won't be long before town-owning folk start buying up more picks for 1200g and trying to sell them for 1250g.

Prediction Time!!!

How long after the start of the event will it take for someone to post the cry thread about how they are getting no lockpicks?

Bonus: How many posts saying "3x0=0" will be posted in the first 5 minutes?

I feel like we've been here before.

it was the mission. up to 3 chests would spawn which could be easily ran in a minute or so. this was also when the chests were either all purple/gold so chest running grps were very common. lots of ppl got pretty high in both treasure hunter and wisdom mainly because of that run. i miss it

Yes. No tomes and no armor pieces from those chests. If you're looking for a return of investment I'd suggest the Kilroy Stonekin dungeon quest and Vabbi chests in Mirror of Lyss.

ROI is not a big concern to me since Treasure Hunter is the final title I need to reach GWAMM and I'm throwing almost all of my money in it. Some money will return with selling unidentified golds and dumping all the purples at the merchant, but it will still cost me a pretty penny to max.

Yeah kinda hard to take advantage of that triple drop rate when I'm err=7 every few minutes or locking up...

Or like the old theory of double green weekends

a 0.0000001% drops rate is still only 0.0000002% :P

So now we have a 0.0000003% chance of getting a LP
