So I'm doing this quest in Ondra's Gift calle Fortanero's Fortune where you have to find Marceno's sea chest. After finding it apparently you can try to open it, does anyone know if this uses mechanics and if so what level? I take it only your character's mechanics? Also, is there another way of opening it that anyone has found?

You need 4 mechanics to open the chest. Click on it and it will ask you if you want to open it.

I suppose the main character needs to have to have mechanics. Aloth had something like 7-9 mechanics when I did it and it wouldn't let me open it. Btw. what's in it?

No, it should attempt to use anyone in the party who's skilled enough to open it.

Curious about the subraces in Pillars of Eternity? Check out 

Is it worth it to open it? Not sure if I should give it back or open it.

It's just a hat and a fine rapier. Up to you if you want that dude to get killed for basically crap.

yeah I agree that it is probably not worth it. especially since you get a decent reward from the sailor for returning anyway

No, it should attempt to use anyone in the party who's skilled enough to open it.

didnt work for me. the priest had 7 mechanics, still the cest would not open. maybe a bug?

Hey so yea I ended up figuring it out thanks to all the help here. Your main character has to have 4 mechanics. Doesn't have to be base 4, u can use items and rest bonuses. But that will 100% work, and personally I think it is worth it to steal and then lie. You get his hat, rapier, then you can push him for even more.
