Someone sent me PM about how chests/coffers hunting works.
So i will just post the basic idea about how thfs hunt coffers/chests in here.
There are 3 types of key thf can use.
Thief's tool - carpenter
Living key - alchemy
Skeleton key - bonework
the better key, the higher chance to succeed opening chests/coffers
Thief's tool(least chance) < Living key(medium chance) < Skeleton key(higest chance) .. it goes like this.
So if you are hunting coffers in really high lv zones like ZV or OZ, you should really use skeleton key, but if you are hunting ez chest like gusgen, thief's tool is enough.
the prices go like this on my server:
thief's tool = 900g
living key = 1500g
skeleton key = 3000g
most thf start hunting chests/coffers after lv50 because they can /whm or /rdm for sneak and invis.
one thing though, you can't open chest while invising, gotta take it off first. and about sneak, you can open chest but sneak will be gone after opening, so you have to make sure there is no monster around there.
the easiest way to hunt chest is lving up till you are high enough and monsters dont attack you anymore so that you can run around without worries.
thats why its ez if monster dont attack you.
coffers/chests pop time is 30 minutes. Its exactly 30 minutes no more no less. In the famous place like Oztroja or Feiyin that there are always rivals, I usually time the pop time in second. Once, i get my first chest, i time it (i use the oven timer thingy ^^') and do something else such as hunting ez monsters for some drops.
and when the time comes, i count down from 10,9,8,...,1,0 then I tonzura (splint), hide and check all the pop spots. In place that is big like feiyin, i can usually check 9spots from 12spots in about 90 seconds, so if somebody else opened a chest before me, i will know the next pop time with about -45 or +45 second error.
so, when you come later and there is somebody hunting chest already, the easy way to know when the coffer will pop is keeping looking at him, whenever he starts running , that means its pop time, so you just splint and check all spots.
If i am controlling pop time of chests, i usualy hide when i start running so those rivals might not see me checking chest and they might not know its pop time ^^.
another very important thing is you have to know ALL pop spots of chests/coffers. the best website has been closed already. fortunately I had it back up, so I can send to any of you if you want (send me pm your email and make sure you have 1Mbyte free space ^^')
this is just basic idea of how to hun chests/coffers. there are lots more things that a thf has to know.. like which monster need sneak, which monster need invis.. which one active to magic, how you gonna deal if your invis fades.. or how can you open coffer/chest while there are many monsters around.. that is just what a thf has to learn by himself ^^
