I've done quite a bit of treasure hunting before and right after the overhaul when I was bored. I stopped doing maps in favor of other content that gave a better return on investment (also at one point I was dwindling down under 100 maps). Fast forward to now, I'm back around a full Davies locker (500 maps) which I started pulling from a month or so ago given my boredom with the Fey event.
Since I started to do maps again, I'd say that 99% of them have been cache/horde/trove. I could be wrong here but I seem to remember getting more legendary items in these chests (and some weren't bad - not as intense as something scalis might drop but not immediately trash). I've done 25-30 maps and I've kept nothing except the pink/blues/tmaps. I know that UO has done little stealth adjustments in the past to dial back loot (I remember waaaaay long ago, like 10-15 years maybe, average Tmap loot was some of the best in game), so I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this too or maybe I'm doing something differently than I did 3 years ago when the overhaul was first done.
So my question to those people that are still plugging away at maps would be this:
Have you noticed any certain combo(s) that are better than others? Example: is an artisan supply chest better than an artisan trove? Is a rangers cache the best out there?
Also: Have you noticed a certain chest quality (rusted/metal/gold) adds to the overall quality of loot? In my experience, rusted chests basically kill the loot in every instance but maybe that's me.
Lastly: Has luck (or Fel chests) played a consistent part in what you are getting? I have a max luck suit that I use which seems to actually hurt the loot (I think overall loot is better when I'm wearing my SDI suit) but wondering if maybe there is a sweet spot.
