Dungeon and Treasure Map chests have a Lock Difficulty that ranges level 1-8 (based on it's dungeon location or map level) and a Lock Progress value that will go from from 0-100%
Dungeon and Treasure Map chests have a Trap Difficulty from level 1-8 (based on it's dungeon location or map level) and a Remove Trap Progress value that will go from from 0-100%
Players can make Lockpicking attempts on the chest using Lockpicks, with successes increasing the Lockpicking Progress %
If the chest is at less than 100% Remove Trap progress, players will have a chance to trigger a trap when making Lockpicking attempts, which will cancel their Lockpicking attempt
A player triggering a trap on a chest does not change the Remove Trap Progress of the chest (i.e. multiple traps can be sprung from chests)
Traps increase in power and effect based on the Trap Difficulty level of the chest
A player who triggers a Trap is not able to use the Hiding skill or be hidden with the Invisibility spell for the next 5 seconds
Players can make Remove Trap attempts on the chest using Trap Tools, with successes increasing the Remove Trap Progress on the chest
Players making Remove Trap attempts on a chest have a chance to trigger a trap, albeit at a drastically lower chance than for lockpicking attempts

Players can double click chests to open a Lockpicking window where they can see their Lockpicking and Remove Trap success chances, progress values, and can click buttons in the window to make Lockpicking / Remove Trap actions on the chest
Additionally, in the Lockpicking window, players can rotate through different tool materials to see success chance changes and to make Lockpicking / Remove Trap attempts with those tool types if they have any in their backpack
Players can also elect to simply double click Lockpicks or Trap Tools and target the chest
Single clicking on a chest will display the chest's Lockpicking / Remove Trap progress (if any has been made)
After a Dungeon Chest has reached 100% Lockpicking progress, a timer starts after which the chest will close and reset (with higher level difficulty chests having longer reset times)
Using exceptional and colored material Lockpicks and Trap Tools increases the player's Effective Lockpicking / Remove Trap skill as well as increases the amount of progress made on each successful skill check against on the chest for the related tool
