Empty Shabby Chests

Recently, I have found a lot of empty chests and somehow I think most of them are supposed to be lock picks since my lock pick rate just went down the drain. Anyone else have this problem?

 

had a few that were empty, with all the bugs the mobs will dissapear next...

 

Yep, had a few empty chests but still picking up lock pics.

 

_Baragain_ recently made this post in another thread:

I have been casually testing this (in other words not paying the strictest attention ) but since I have a lot of characters with 30 knowledge this idea seems to be holding up. Every time I start running into a bunch of empty chests it is with characters with capped AW books.

As far as keys go they are the typical random thing for me. They come and go in streaks. The key drops have been better for me since the drop chance increase.

I disagree. Although I have not yet reached Knowledge 30, I still encounter empty chests every once in a while. It happens rarely, but still.

 

Good to know. I'll start watching my characters with lower AW more closely.

Luck be with ye,

It happens with my friend who isn't max knowledge too. I think they should turn off option for knowledge drop in chest if you 30 like they do in daily quests.
