Forensic Evaluation works on chests?

Are you sure you shouldn't be training "Detect Hidden" instead?

This is where i got my information from. I am trying the skill on a picked paragon chest, no gains...

Forensic Eval works on many things but yes it works on chests.

If your on GLs I would suggest finding the Treasure Hunters of Britannia. They have a very nice tower loaded with chests for working lockpicking...

This is where I GMed my forensics. Hours and hours of checking those chests.

Without being anti-UOGuide, I am fairly sure that is either plain wrong or outdated. Try using Forensics on a paragon chest and have a crystal ball of knowledge. Sure the ball doesn't always work anyway, but even at 0 skill you get no gains (and at 0 you can get gains off even things that are "too challenging").
