Not the passive that seems OK. When actively searching I try a grid like I'm digging a map but it seems crazy random I can look to my south and it reveals a chest to my east where I had literally just searched
Yeah it’s super weird. Sometimes I’ll search at my feet and nothing. Move a couple tiles and search and it’s where I was just standing. So odd.
Yep, it’s whacky. Not to mention how it shouldn’t work passively at all for someone mounted and running full tilt.
Kevin is correct. 100 detect does not mean 100% success.
+1 for a failed detect message
It could be randomly moving every x seconds.
Maybe this was fixed. I went chest hunting and couldn't find crap. Id search all around me. Then another hunter would come up and search and pop the chest where I know I searched on the exact spot 5 times, but I guess they were all failures. Today, I did probably 10 chests in the time it took to find 1, or rather for another T-hunter to come running up and steal my unfound chest. Not really steal, it is fair game but you get my drift. Today, I was popping them left and right.
A better failure message would be nice. The way it is now, I get the failure message and I move on to other tiles. I think all of this character build is a neat design with detect hidden and sorts. I do think it needs to be refined a bit and hopefully continued to expand the uses of that skill in the future.
