 If you do not meet the minimum skill requirement to unlock or untrap a chest, you will not gain any skill, and will never succeed. (You'll get a message like, "disarm failed - too difficult!")
 If you meet the minimum skill but fail, keep trying; eventually you'll get it!

 Chests have a quality level, which will determine the amount of loot, and unlocking and untrapping difficulty.
 If you do not meet the minimum skill requirement to unlock or untrap a chest, you will not gain any skill, and will never succeed. (You'll get a message like, "disarm failed - too difficult!")
 If you meet the minimum skill but fail, keep trying; eventually you'll get it!
 Once you are well above the minimum skill requirement for the chest you will always succeed, so get your skill as high as possible!
