    Hi all I am back after two years of playing other games. I had left this game because I was sick of COT. I am glad to see that nightmare is over, and I have to say I like a lot of what has been added wile I have been gone. But there are still one or two things that should not be in this game at all or more over there have been a few things added that should not be in the game at all.

    I am a little bit annoyed by what I see as a Rip off.
    Legendary Chests.
    Well as we all know it is 100 lock picks to open and I had saved up to 51 and thought well I am half way there and there is a chance for a 100k andermant that sounds good.
    In the temple today I had a look at what it said. I had the option of paying just over 2k ander's to open it. I thought well I am after some better item so I will give it a go and payed to open it. well all my lock picks are now gone so it took the money and 51 lock picks! why have all my lock picks gone??? and on top of that the items it dropped were so rubbish that my lower lvl Items are a lot better.one legendary Item that was (melt it was rubbish) and 4 non magic white items. all I could do was melt it and try to get some thing out of this Debacle. For shame big point what a rip off.
    Never pay Andermant to open a Legendary Chest, just Don't do it. it's just not worth the annoyance.
    I am now owed money admittedly its only a few quid but still my lock picks are gone and I never received any thing usable for the andermant (the gems where all the lowest lvl).
    I know that I am shouting in to the wind and will never receive a fair refund so there is no point in whining beyond this. But I would like it if the hole player community never use anders to open them chests then big point will be forced to guaranty some thing good comes out of them when opened

    Right I have had a good cry. and I will not say any more about it.

    have fun

    I just buy gems with andermant, and only when they are on sale. I prefer to avoid regrets. I have purchased red or purple essences in the past, when they were on sale, but I haven't needed to do that for a long time. And, of course, there is the inevitable gem-slot(s) that have to be opened, occassionally. I keep as much of my andermant as possible. Buying gems and opening gem slots are the main things that need it.

    You left the game once ... you will leave it again. :D
    The changes you like ... no one else like it.
    Opening legendary chests for gear??? LOL
    We all farm lockpicks ... and open the chests for reds and few GoP ... but for gear ... :rolleyes:
    Even P2P players don't spend andermants for lockpicks ... they are easy to farm.

    Is the 2K in this case not used to purchase the additional 49 lockpicks to open the chest?

    Pretty sure that the 2k anders was used to buy the additional 49 lockpicks needed.

    I use anders mostly for 1) gems, sometimes 2) slots, and less frequently for 3) essence, 4) jesters and 5) mortis/event boss revives (rare, but it happens). Don't use them for lockpicks, or gear, although there are some I've considered, such as the DK steam axe.

    Being able to admit when you are Wrong is the only way to learn.
    You are Right and I am Wrong.
    The anders is for additional lock-picks.
    This has just become now what is the best thing to spend aderment on.
    It is not a good idea to use it to open chest's thats still the case. but I must now amend my rant
    because I am in error.

    Thank you for your time

    It's ok as it's easy to get blinded by rage especially with all the problems with this game :)

    I thought that was an obvious for any chests beyond shabby that lockpicks are the only way to open. People who don't have the patience resort to andermant as a quick solution to all. I would never use andermant to substitute lockpicks... perhaps amphorae keys at best if I'm itching to get what's inside for event.

    As far as disappointment, get used to it. One time I opened up a legendary chest with 100 lockpicks to get red essences and other things, but not a legendary item! I cringed but that's about it... probably easier farming various places and pick up a legendary item from a random mob kill.

    Lock picks are available 2 ways: farming time, or game money. It's a personal choice of value, what do you have the most, what are you willing to give up.
    Personally, I find buying lockpicks to be too expensive a choice; the economics are terrible. The Jesters offer them as a consolation prize, but even there you pay through the nose for them.
    Chests generally are not good investments. Most of the drops are cheap. It is true that some people hit it big once in a while, but there are few of them. There are a lot more people who are disappointed; they get little for so much time required.

    I know I am posting straight after I have just posted and I apologies for that.
    But I have just had a good Idea. a constructive suggestion for a change!!
    What about an exceptional,extraordinary and legendary Key.
    They cost a lot of anderment to buy far enough but with them you can open as many exceptional,extraordinary and legendary chests that you come across.
    What dose the community think of that Idea?

    Have fun

    It would make play easier and faster, but also devalue the lock picks. I can already hear how unfair it would be to F2P, or anyone with more time than money.

    I understand your answer, Its makes sense.
    But I still like the Idea of non depleting Keys and would love to see them added.

    At this moment in my inventory I have something like 400 lockpicks.
    None of them are bought.

    Yea, so if we had a permanent key, I'd be farming chests for melt not killing things. I'd have reds filling an entire page of my inventory, and gems would only be an hour max to farm a polished. If this were a 1 player game where chests were rare, I could see this existing, but in a F2P/P2P MMO... No thanks.

    Best point against my idea so far, and I really can not argue with you at all on this :(
