Whats the point of locking a chest ?

[Crylz]

In first hour i noticed you can "lock" the chest, which immediately made me believe that gold that comes in with adventurers and gold that's being generated by mobs goes in chests and when day is over leftover gold goes into my coffer. Hence locking chest would guarantee big chunk of gold for my coffers as they still accumulate generated gold for a price of a soul ... that is not the case.

[.minimum.]

you get however much coin was in that chest, and sacrifice 1 soul that you would have otherwise received at day's end.

That's not how this game works, money in chest after a day is over doesn't add up to your coffer.

You lock the chest using 1 soul, so that at the end of the day the money is yours. Otherwise they will evaporate at the end of the day.

Locking chests can be an early strat if you're desperate for some capitals, but tbh as soon as you unlock Potions you'll be earning much more than locking a chest. And the same amount of souls (either 9 or 10 depending on the game mode) will net you 320 or 350-something coins in the Soul Trade -- a much better deal.

I'm not sure if people read description, but question i'm raising has a fundamentally important note that i specifically mentioned.

When day is over, i don't get to keep gold in chests.

In beta it was a thing, but for some reason 1.0 release all contents poof out of existence. Which might be a bug or a poor decision

Yeah I thought the entire point of them was to add to your coffers. Hopefully it's a bug that will be fixed cause it was a nice feature and probably my favourite way to make $ lol

This was a design change, from the demo. you dont get the money from the chest. just the money from selling potions and what not.

This isnt a problem, just play the game. it flows just fine. and if your not making enough money, change your strategy.

It's not a major issue because it's pretty easy to ignore and focus on other methods, but the topic of the thread is asking what the purpose of locking a chest is.

If this was an intended design change where locking chests doesn't do anything except waste your souls, then the option to lock chests should be removed until it actually does something. If not, then it's a bug to be fixed.

You DO get the money from the chests you lock. Its easy money once you get the bigger chests to increase your funds, better investment in locked chests then buying money from research for souls other then unlocking new nodes. I havent tested this patch but it worked like this in the previous one.
