LDON chest on Coirnav questionFollow

I can "usually" Google and find what I am looking for, but now that LDON is out on Coirnav me and a group of 45 level characters have been running into a few issues where we can't seem to unlock a chest.

The group does not have a bard or rogue, but does have an INT or priest class and is receiving the chest is trapped/not trapped message.

The issue is when we go to unlock the chest with the scrying stone. there are times the chest rattles, but wont open.

Are we doing something wrong? We didn't have issues on the easier setting, only when we went to the harder level.

It's gotten to the point if it wont open on the first attempt on a red/yellow chest we just give up.

Is there something we are missing, or are some chests un-openable?

We are having a fun time...but would be nice to be able to open them...many have been disappointing in their loot, at least less than the cost of the scrying stone. Some of the walk throughs made it sound that the loot "could" rival dropped items...I guess time will tell...

Any tips will be appreciated!

Thank you,

EDIT: We are using the highest level spells to Inspect, Disarm and Unlock for the INT/Priest class

Are you using the /open command to open them?

Not getting that far.

We disarm, but the box is still trapped after casting the disarm spell. We have disarmed multiple of times and cant disarm the trap. Costs a plenty for all of the attempts...

In doing containers in LDON, first there is the identify. Then one of three procedures can open the chest or whatever the container may be: Mechanical, magic and something else I cannot remember. Of the playing classes I think Necromancers can do all three. Other classes can do only one. The ability to do these procedures is gained by spells (from scrolls). There are two levels of these abilities if I recall correctly. I am doing this off the top of my head. (It has been a long time.) Some bits may be in error. Looking for additions and corrections.

In each and every LDoN adventure there will be a random assortment of chests, boxes that may or may not have a trap on them. The traps can be anything from harmless to a destructive Damage over Time spell that will leave you scrambling for your life depending on your level. There are three types of traps to deal with:

melee
priest/curse
Int/magic
Not only do you need the correct spells, but you need the proper reagents to use them. Read the spell descriptions and buy the reagents from the normal merchant right there at the adventure camps.

Ambleshift's Automated Archaeological Antiquity Analyzer will also work.

Caster and priest classes get spells which can disarm the same traps

melee -- dont you just break open them with MELE?? then /open ?? I am not sure
priest/curse CLR/10 DRU/14 SHM/14
Int/magic NEC/13 MAG/13 ENC/13 WIZ/13

Thank you for the reply's.

I know the above, we have both INT and priest characters in the group.

All have the Greater (level 34) line of spells that use the Greater Scrying Stones for both the INT and Priest unlock spells (Iony's Greater Exorcism and Wuggan's Greater Discombobulation).

When we ran standard level quests we opened chests with no issues, but now that we are on HARD level we have been unable to unlock any chests, either INT or Priest class...

And have made sure we are using Greater Scrying Stone's...

Not in the general area...how far away do they need to be away? We clear the rooms around the chest before we try to open it.
