My issue is that I've done it recently enough to know that a ~90% figure is mathematically impossible.
No need to fling verbal grenades... Who knows maybe they only ever did 10 boxes and got simple clues on 9 of them.

Those who have done caskets extensively know that your odds of success drop over time. Whatever great luck you may have had initially will eventually settle in to a 1/3 to at best 1/2 guess between combination choices...

It's just obnoxious that the harder you work to solve a chest always results in something crappy inside like a pot.

At least make the # of hints static at 6.

That's EXACTLY what I meant when I said "Tanaka factor". Thanks for explaining it better.

the guessing game isn't too bad. It would be awesome though if they made it so you could peek inside like in abyssea so you could skip the crappy potions and such.
This would be great. I could skip the chests with Chicken Bones :P

On a side note, the potions and stuff aren't that bad, I usually just throw them in my satchel for a rainy day :D

So we'll see this in 2 years...
funny thing is this sounds about right,but we have 1 thing we did not have years a go the official forums. i have found it helps to cut down on this time,i do not know why. but i think it may be the admins/mods/devs read most of what is on there forum.

Great! Now I know who to blame when they give me easier access to the "astoundingly relevant" gear in treasure caskets instead of..... anything.

How about making the the equipment drops (crafting torques etc) more likely? Opening chests is already easy if you have half a brain.

Or a simple to use probability tool :)

No problem. Just a quick note. Its best to use the programs "Best Guess" number, as it uses elimination of numbers method. That being said, having a chest with 6 guesses will basically guarantee you to get the right chest using this simple program. With 5 hints, in rare instances you'll have a 50/50 chance using the "best guess" number.
