Is there a guide? I've never done anything like that. I don't have stealth or detect hidden. Just begging and stealing.

Basically a Roque type char with decent skills is what you need. I use stealth but that's not required. It does aid in your not being attacked.
Detect hidden skill is necessary to locate the chests/boxes that are hidden but to what skill level, I do not know as I am GM
Lock picking skill is also necessary to unlock them and they are a 3 trap box/chest.
Stealing has not been necessary for me to obtain anything in the chests, just grab and go.

Stupid question but where is the entrance and do you need to do a quest to enter?

not liking these puzzle chests at all.... but I'll keep at it if someone can give me an answer to this:

does the solution (not that I'm gonna see it this afternoon) read " 5 of 5 " or " 4 of 4 " ? the first slot is given to me so I don't know if that is in the final count of correct or not

Hiding and Stealth to get around "unnoticed". Detect Hidden and Lockpicking to find and open chests (use magery telekinesis to remove traps). I've gotten 4 drops now and 1 painting.

He's my rogues template:
115 Fencing (I added it a while ago to use Smugglers Edge) but am now wielding a SC Dagger for Shadow Strike)
105 Stealing (120 with Fan Dancer Leggings)
85 Stealth (115 with Leggings and +10 Cloak)
100 Lockpicking
100 Detect Hidden
100 Hiding
115 Magery

So far I've gotten 9 Cult Drops, a skeleton and a zombie painting, 10 Corruption, 10 Taint, 3 Dreadhorn Manes and the gems/invis pots/smoke bombs.

My goal is to have a bandage belt before Oct 1.

Similar for me, I really enjoy this style of content.

I've had a soul trapped in a phylactery also.

Has this been asked? How often can you do each of the puzzle boxes in Khaldun? I try to do the same one and it ends up being empty. Is there a timer? if someone tries it inbetween the first time and the respawn, does it reset the timer to start over again?

That’s the one I still need and the main item that I wanted

Has anyone found the hidden chest in the champ spawn area, if so it seem like it would really slow down the spawn in area most thief’s could handle

I see tons of puzzles chest (not getting anything new or rare in them) I am on test right now, but I first checked around with 20 JOAT detect and then 100 detect. Nothing is "appearing" as I walk around.

Are the hidden chest puzzles too?
Do I have to actively detect?
Do I need detect?

No the hidden chests are just like tmap chests. With GM Detect Hidden, when you walk around you will get the message "your keen sense detects something hidden" Once you get this message, use DH to find the chests.

Wasn't the gorget also one of the items from the trade quests last year? The name is very familiar.

So I guess I found the reason why you need stealing:

It's called Relic of Stratos... I found it in a chest couldn't pick it up had to steal it.
Sigh. I guess they used up all their art time on the telescope and orrery. :/

I just got "a mysterious rolled map". My thief lacked the cartography skill to read it. I opened it with my treasure hunter and got "Your proficiency in Cartography reveals more about the item." As far as I can tell though, it is just a flavor/deco item.

The one from Khaldun says "Recovered from a hidden Cultist Cache". The one I got on the trade route last year says "Recovered from an Ambushed Trade Route", so they are different in that regard.

A player with detect hidden asked for a lockpicker so we went for an hour. I got gold, bandages, invis, smoke, and lockpicks.

Found an activity about as much fun as skilling.

Yep just spent 2hrs there and out of the hidden chests collected a few invis potions, some lockpicks and a bit of GP. Out of the 'normal' chests I bit of very basic arm/eps and gems.

So where are the paintings and 'fun' stuff found ?

I must be doing something wrong, I only get smoke bombs and worthless junk in the hidden chests/crates.

Try doing it in Fel. Better drop rate. Also it seems that Tram drops different stuff then Fel but Fel diffently drops more Cult items.

Canada (ya, there is snow)
ok im getting lost here.
it seems like we have a couple different things being talked about here and that is muddling up the waters.

i for one am totally confused as to why we are talking about snooping.....
we dont need snooping for the chests..... we need snooping to..... snoop the zealots?
is that right?

maybe @Petra Fyde you could take a second to sort out this snooping business.

cause i thought these chests where like the Kotl Chests in that we just needed to detect them, pick them then set them off and loot, but now people are talking about snooping....

No snooping needed.

Chests just require detect hidden, lockpicking, remove trap or telekinesis and stealing (for a few specific items).

Do you know what amount of stealing is required for those items that can only be stolen?
