    I think there was some talk regarding that back when people were running palace all day, back before SE tweeked the chest. Something of the sort that the higher your level is, the better chance the silver chest wont explode/ will give you a better chance at +1.
    People have come up with all sorts of mad theories about this event because it's absolutely crammed with RNG.

    One of the worst I've seen was someone attempting to rush through the floors because supposedly it made it more likely to get better random floor effects, whereas taking too long would cause you to be more likely to get penalizing effects.

    You just know that some of these people are the type that hold Up and B while doing a handstand every time they throw a Poke Ball.

    I think there may be some truth to it tho.
    Because if not, all you have to do is run into the dungeon, avoid things, and hey if your good, you can prolly go in nakkid geared >.>
    Which, knowing SE and how they can make stuff excruciating, would not be as easy as just sneak, avoid, open chest, and hope for the best that it wont explode/fail
    If i were a game developer, i certainly wouldnt make the most valuable chest a random fail/success just by opening it. I'd make sure there would be at least some criteria to a higher success rate.

    On a side note, ive noticed alot of early evening parties tend to skip the mobs and sneak alot just opening chests.
    The late nighters seem to earnestly kill more mobs and use the pomanders more.
    Jus something i personally experienced on my runs.
