Hey everyone,

We are rolling out a few changes to the way the Trickster Chest works this morning based on feedback from the community. Beginning after the server reset in about 10 minutes (and in time for the next spawn of the chest), for 30 minutes (real-time) before and after the chest’s spawn, an area around the chest will become “lawless”, turning everyone nearby into Bandits without Bounties. Your Bandit timer while you are in this area will never decrease below 5 minutes.

Practically speaking this should mean a few things:

Since everyone near the chest will already be a bandit, there is no incentive not to go ahead and engage in attacks ahead of the chest spawning.

Since everyone is a bandit, everyone will spawn at the Jail, meaning your strategy will need to revolve around when to best make your move, as opposed to just camping a whole area for a long period of time.

Since everyone is a bandit with a 5 minute timer, you will have to be able to remain undamaged and not deal out damage for 5 minutes if you want to logout after taking the chest’s contents. (Which could end up being a valid strategy if people are attempting to guard the exits instead of engaging in fights near the chest).

30 minutes after the Chest has spawned, the Bandit flag/timer will stop being re-applied in the area, so if you are still alive you will wait 5 minutes and then your bandit flag will clear as normal.

In addition to this, the loot in the Wilds Chest has been increased and it will now drop 2 sets of items from a potential loot table, which includes the loot that was in there previously plus some Wilds materials, rare dyes, etc.

Thanks!
