There are still chests around in the Southern Shiverbeaks, called Frozen Chests, and they don't require keys.

If they are speaking of the chest in Dreadnought's Drift you dont kneed a key to open it. I think there is one more chest you dont need a key to.

Are these the chests that maybe only spawn once in your character's life time? I remember passing by a chest under the tree right outside Thunderhead Keeps but it seems to only happen when I play a new character and getting to THK for the first time. The next time I see one, though, I will not open it. I ran to THK w/henchies when Ironmine mission was broken with a new character and there it was, the chest. Except when I opened it, henchies stole everything and there was zero drop. Not even white/blue/purple. Next time I walk past one with a new character, I will go into THK and lose everyone and come outside alone to see if it's still there. Oh, and when you open the chest, more often than not a bunch of shadows/nightmares spawn including possibly a boss that will likely wipe you out, too, so grab everything first, fight later.

So the frozen chest in dreadnoughts is not the lost strongbox people talk about? I cleared dreadnoughts, and the only unlocked chest I found was the frozen chest...

in dreadnoughts there are 2 chests :
frozen chest = armor drops
lost strongbox = weapon drops

both chests drop every item you can get ingame, the frozen chests even drop armors you can't get from drops.

I had to check this out for myself, I used my forge running build to get there. Sure enough there is a chest there called "the lost chest". It's actaully very easy to get to, and easy to re-zone and open it again and again. I did it 3 times, of the 7 drops each time I opened it, there was always one purple and the rest were mostly blues. Got an errie staff from it, so it definitly can drop anything. I think I may start farming it, to find out if it ever drops any gold items. I looked for the "frozen chest" but I couldnt find one

That one shows up more than once in your character's life time. It just spawns in a few locations in Ice Floe like any other chest. Just keep rezoning until you see it again. Good for capping Signet of Judgement if you're a monk.

I wish they had an area where there was a mandatory gag order for finding secret chests...these chests used to drop perfect weapons, and since it has been "going around" all i ever get is freakin white items. Thanks alot guys

ya, that chest (and the one outside THK) were nerfed a long time ago because people couldnt keep their mouths shut.

Sadly, they drop garbage now. You would be better off buying Shiverpeak keys and going chest running that way. Also, Dreadnoughts is such a pain to get to solo, that its not even worth it. I run up to it alone sometimes, but it only gives blues and whites now...gone are the days of perfect rares/uncommons.

It took 2 tries for me to get to Dreadnoughts and find the Frozen Chest and Lost strong box. (I don't have a solo running char...)

When I finally got there and opened them - nothing but white crappy items dropped from BOTH. ugh.

The one outside THK (my necro accidently got there from Granite with the henchies) I saw it and opened it... mostly white and 1 *meh* purple item... and we were wiped out in a few moments by the monsters that spawned.

no need for them to be nerfed.... gold and even purple drops in ANY of the chests have already been made a lot rarer. OK so u can get clean max (rarely) rare skinned axes... but they have no real value.. just the value that has come around from player to player trading.

a lot of people would try again and again to go there and hope for a good drop but u can get more from solo farming in the same amount of times.
