Chest ransack

This page is about chest/quest reward ransack timer. For Ransack quest XP bonus from breakables, see Experience points.

Chest ransack timer
Looting a chest too many times will temporarily reduce (or shut off) the amount of treasure you get. This is to prevent players from farming the same chest over and over, especially easily accessible chests that certain characters/classes can reach with no effort, as well as chests that contain certain highly sought after items.

Every single chest in game has its own chest ID and "ransack tiemr". All quest difficulties are on same ID (with a few exception). Each toon is on a different timer.

Ransack warning happens at 8th time you opened it. Starting from 8th time you recieve chest loot with -1 level each.

When you reopen it, it will show you the message if you would be getting the message the next time you loot. However the counter is not advanced again. At 7th time you opened it and reopened it, you will get the ransack massage so you know that next time you start recieving items form -1 loot table.

This timer expires with exactly 7 days (168 hours) to the minute from the first time you opened a chest. In other words, it actually begins before the ransack warning appears and then any time you open the chest after that resets. From the first time you opened it, not when you first recieve message. Game update or server maintanance doesn't reset ransacks - although the timers will still be running.
