Help, I know this may seem lame but I just cant seem to open treasure chests no matter how much I try. I select my lock picks them try to disarm device what should I do next? Any help appreciated as you can guess I am a newbie

Bash the Chests

I spent a while trying both disarm and lockpick. I am not sure that either works correctly.

I have found that Bash works the best. It gives me the best chance of opening of the three methods.

You have to have disarm skill, or use a lockpick. By having a higher skill, you slow down the coloring of the icons, so that you have more time. The lockpicks simply adds to your lock pick skill, giving you more time.

Suggestion

There is a combo that I have found successfull as far as chests go. Get Disarm up to about 5, or 6. Near that rank. Next, I supply myself with a few of the Time Slowing crystals. They work WONDERS for opening chests with 40, 15, and 1% probability of opening. Only time I screw up is when I click one of the buttons too soon, or miss click. Chest disarming are the only times I use the time slowing crystals, but the investment is well worth it. I've gotten quite a few high end items from level 7 and 8 chests, that I wouldn't have been able to open otherwise. Very handy in Draedoth Temple, Khad's Domain when you need to collect those 4 Demon Crystals from level 7 chests.

I open chests with lower level and 1% chance. Just I try and try again. If something goes wrong then click leave. But you must be very faster to see all icons.

I'm just throwing a quick and easy way to do it. I hate doing things over and over again.
