Strongboxes are a special type of loot container found throughout Wraeclast. When opened, a strongbox will release groups of monsters to surround and attack the character. Only once all of the ambushing monsters are slain will a strongbox relinquish its loot. The monsters released by a strongbox also drop loot and grant experience when killed.[1] Monsters not directly summoned by the strongbox, such as Spitters emerging from Shield Crabs, or raised undead, do not need to be killed to unlock the strongbox.
Variations
Strongboxes come in different base types which determine the kinds of items that can normally be obtained from them.[2] Modifiers can further alter the loot contents, such as granting additional rare items or gems.
With 2218 strongboxes pool[3], done via Monstrous Treasure prophecy, users expect the following kind of distribution. Note that test was made in Tier-13 and higher maps, where Cartographer's strongboxes cannot spawn.
Base Type | Contents | Count | Spawn rate |
---|---|---|---|
Arcanist's Strongbox | Currency that do not affect quality | 96 | 4.3% |
Armourer's Strongbox | Armour, The BodyThe Body4Body ArmourThey say it is the head that leads, but all must flow through the body at some point. | 132 | 6% |
Artisan's Strongbox | Currency that affect quality | 155 | 6.9% |

Ornate Strongbox | Assorted items (increased rarity) | 62 | 2.8% |
Strongbox | Assorted items | 1247 | 56.3% |
Unique | Special | 14 | 0.6% |
Like chests, increased Item Quantity from gear does not increase the number of items dropped from a strongbox. However, map quantity and the number of players do increase the number of items dropped from most strongboxes.[4] The only exception is the Cartographer's Strongbox, where the number of players does not increase the amount of map drops.
Modifiers
Like items and monsters, strongboxes come in different rarities with various modifiers. A non-normal strongbox inherently has increased item quantity and rarity regardless of other modifiers.[5] It must be identified with a Scroll of WisdomScroll of WisdomStack Size: 40Identifies an itemRight click this item then left click an unidentified item to apply it. to reveal its modifiers. It is also possible to craft strongboxes using currency items.
