Lockpicking dungeon chests

[IndecentXp0sur3]

Am i being stupid or do these chests really kill you when you open them...

I have 100 str and 100 lock-picking, do you have to magic untrap them after lock-picking?

I literally get killed by every chest I open in a dungeon.

Yep, don't use magic untrap use telekinesis.

Every chest that is locked needs telekinesis

Don't listen to them, Magic Untrap is fine, and I've been using it for months; it disables rather than sets off the trap (less noise for potential PK's to hear, plus you can stand next to the chest if need be), it's cheaper than telekinesis scrolls, and it uses less mana.

There's always Remove Trap (stay stealthed all the time) but spells are fine.

Does magic untrap actually work on dungeon chests? I think i tried it once on a paragon chest and it didn't work.

Yes, it 100% works. Even if you're "not sober" and you forget to pick the dungeon chest first, Magic Untrap will still disable the trap; telekinesis will not (telekinesis requires that the chest be able to be opened to work).

Not true, I lp and open paragon chest usually take 50-60 damage.

This depends on level of paragon chest. Same goes for dungeon chests. The higher the level chest, the more chance you insta-die.

I don't think this is true. Magic UnTrap fizzles versus any container that did not first have the Magic Trap spell cast on it.

You will need to either have Remove Trap, Telekinesis, or just take the damage. I have always just used Telekinesis.

True, mine are usually off liches or stuff that level.

they key to lockpicking is finding the high level chests and they will fuck you up if you dont telekinesis

Talking to Eppy - Magic untrap WILL remove the trap from a super low level chest (1 or 2), but is useless on anything above that (most chests).

I've been using Magic Untrap for all levels of chests. Any chest my 70 remove trap doesn't work on I Magic Untrap and it works every time.
Note I've only ever tested it on dungeon chests; not paragon chests, or T-map chests (I have tested it on level-1 Tmaps, and low level paragon chests [ettins, cyclopse] and it works on these).

If this is not what's supposed to happen I'd say a bit of code got lost.

I don't even have magery on the chest diver, I just bring a few scrolls.
