🗝️ NEW HOPE UO - DUNGEON TREASURE CHESTS & LOCKPICKING SYSTEM 🗝️ - Admin - 07-16-2026

Dungeons in the world of New Hope are no longer just about slaying monsters! Hidden in dark corners, dangerous boss rooms, and deep corridors, 6 different tiers of locked treasure chests are waiting for dungeon explorers and thieves.
This system is fully dynamic: once opened and looted, it starts a countdown. When the timer expires, the chest automatically clears its trash, relocks itself, and regenerates fresh loot for the next adventurers.
Here are the details, skill requirements, and loot tables for each treasure chest tier:
