Does Bringing Hench Lower The Chances Of A Good Drop When Chest Running?

I was just wondering whether or not bringing hench affects what kind of item you get from a chest when chest running. I'm currently chest running locked chests around Port Sledge and was wondering whether or not to bring hench because I don't want to lower the chances of a good drop.

Thanks.

Why would it?

Not at all.

The only thing that effects drop rates is how many you have in your party, even then it doesnt matter if they are players or AI.

Doesnt effect chests however so you are fine.

That's great, thanks a lot.

I am curious at to why you would think that would be the case?

I remember some people spouting that load of bull ages ago.

Urban legend.
