Can we Have Treasure Chests Spawn Across the Frontiers

This has been suggested before. I think it is something that could help bring players into the frontier zones.

What if treasure chests spawned throughout the frontier zones?

Treasure Chest Task

Multiple chest spawns per day in a random frontier zone. The zone will be stated in /task.

Each chest has 5000 feathers

Each day a chest is not discovered, it increases in value by 1000 feathers and a clue is revealed regarding its whereabouts.

ex. The Chest Zone is in Snowdonia Fortress

Nobody finds it the first day.

Second day the chest reward goes from 5000 to 6000 and a clue appears in /task. "The Tribe of the Ravenclaw Giants guard what you seek"

Then once somebody finds the treasure a new treasure task starts the next day.

I like the idea, but...

What's to stop the realm-on-realm ninja looting crime?

ESO has chests that spawn. It was so much fun to spot a chest and begin clearing the mob(s) that guarded said chest, only to have another player come out of nowhere and loot the chest while I was still in combat. So .. much .. fun ..

I'd like to see chests anyway!

Could be a good thing, but those chests would certainly favor speed classes.
Things to consider; let them have guard mobs, chests only able to open once the guards are dead, and make chests destealth any character at radius 2000.

Put a chest near the Ellylls?

Why not just gives treasure chests from capturing keeps, if you're going to do this type of thing at all. Course, this is exactly what Warhammer Online did.

I like some of these ideas. The idea is to have them spread across the frontiers so solo and small mans have reasons to roam the frontiers. I think it is a fun way to keep the frontiers populated.

Having guards you need to clear in order to loot the chests could work. Make certain mobs drop keys, then have the chests spawn around the frontiers.

There needs to be more reasons to be in frontier zones that are not the task zone. I think a treasure hunt system can help make that happen.

Maybe we could have a flying school bus to jump out of too.

Hey buddy, flying school bus game has like 30 million players. Weve got a couple thousand. They must be doing something right.

Yes, appealing to garbage millennials. This game requires a little more effort than turning on an xbox. Because of that no one will argue that the target audience is far different.

That does mean that this server can not benefit from using cosmetics and constant rewards to keep players interested.

I think it is important we keep players constantly rewarded here. You want the frontier zones to be populated, and treasure hunts might help that. Not everyone wants to form full groups to take keeps or kill caravans to earn rewards all the time.

Constantly rewarded? Ah, your one of those I need a participation medal because I finished last type of people. Say no more. My condolences for you if you ever have to deal with real life.

Treasure chests are not a participation reward. They would be fought over by treasure hunters in the frontiers. It is a way to reward solo and small man players.

Are you aware of realm tasks? They award players just for attending. That is how Phoenix is.

Treasure chests in the frontiers are a fun way to feather farm and bring out more players to the frontier zones.

We will not implement a treasure chest system in the frontiers.
