So in bringing up another character, if I leave these chests untouched in normal and elite, will they still drop a blue or legendary in ultimate? Seems like they should. Other than the certain stashes of bosses like the Warden which seems to drop a blue in every time.
What you do with the chests in normal/elite has no effect on what happens with them in ultimate. No point in skipping them in vet/elite
Yeah, they are ‘one-shot’ PER difficulty. Def don’t skip them!!
Well I somehow thought it was per character! Thanks
Well you know I’m so friggin stupid
Now that I think about it. I was going to skip the ultimate chests until I was 85 then go back for what I missed. A mind is a terrible thing to waste! To make sure that I maximize any chances at end game gear!
Geeze!
It is per character per difficulty, i.e. the same toon can open all one shot chests once in Normal, Elite and Ultimate, but can’t go back and open them a second time. A different toon will be able to open them as they have never opened them before.
No reason to skip them
Also the chests are lvl of area specific as in …if you find a 1 shot chest in a lvl 15 area it will drop loot around that level range…it doesn’t drop loot for your char level.
Well, darn then! I guess that plan is shot too!!!
Don’t worry about it. I see this topic brought up a lot and I wish the devs would change the loading screen tool-tip to reflect that one-shot chests are not one-per character but instead once per difficulty. A lot of new players would skip them - thinking they could come back at a higher level for some better gear.
