Man, as much as I'd love to clear these Treasures out, just the thought of going through so many runs in such a limited time makes my head hurt.

Redfeather1975 · Dec 25, 2006, 07:48 AM // 07:48

I went through with my mesmer and got enough money and an item I could use with my ritualist. It was good enough for me.
Now I'm going through with my ritualist, although he is not far enough to get many of them, but it's enough to buy the skills he needs to test out some secondary possibilities.
So far it's a nice gift and I'm enjoying it. Once it's gone it'll be okay, because I never expected it in the first place.

-Loki- · Dec 25, 2006, 08:13 AM // 08:13

I've gone through most of them on one character, and a few on 2 other characters, and got over 20k, a +10al vs slashing Diamond Aegis for my Monk and a +10al vs Fire mod for my Monks eternal shield. Rather a good haul for an hour and a half. The gold also got me enough to buy another superior vigor. Only one more left to go.

N E D M · Dec 25, 2006, 10:39 AM // 10:39

The only way you don't receive the designated gold allotment is if your character is full when you open the chest. The gold does not drop on the ground, you simply receive a message that "You have received 2platinum XX gold".

LONGA · Dec 25, 2006, 11:45 AM // 11:45

I plan to finish my 2nd char run.and no more bacuse thats all the chars that got trough the Desolation.
One thing I noticed that you tend to get the same catagory of items.
Like my monk usually got mesmer stuffs.My ritualist got daggers.

N E D M · Dec 25, 2006, 12:10 PM // 12:10

well i started looking for the treasures with 0 g and finished with 467g which i got from killing stuff on the way to the treasures.

Edit: I havent opened all of them yet, which are supposed to give plat? Treasure chest or buried treasure or do not touch?

Cicada Sopita · Dec 25, 2006, 12:31 PM // 12:31

All of them, just as all of them are supposed to give you an item.

DFrost · Dec 25, 2006, 12:47 PM // 12:47

Damn, I really should have played through Nightfall instead of twiddling my thumbs in Tyria for the last few weeks. My mes is in Kourna, others are still on newbie island. I refuse to take any holiday stress to powerplay my chars onwards just because of a few chests, they were a cool addition though.

**cosyfiep** · Dec 25, 2006, 01:17 PM // 13:17

yeah...me too, my mes has completed the game and ran to all 12 so far (domain of pain was a pain)....nothing of greatness gotten.....scythes, inspiration staves, and such....no gems.

I have another character in vabbi and one not quite there yet, and 2 more waiting for the consulate docks mission....these I might get to the next areas this week, or at least get the one to vabbi and do the consulate mission with 2 toons....that will net me another 9 chests.....hope to get one gem out of the deal.

still glad they did this as I was in need of plat with all the new skills and such to buy not to mention if any of my toons wanted new armor (still have to get more for a few of them)....so that ran the storage dry. Now I am back to my minimal amount of 20 plat there.

Hyper Cutter · Dec 25, 2006, 06:33 PM // 18:33

Well, all my girls exploited the Jahai and Arkjok chests, now if I could just get a few characters through that damn Moddok Crevice I could get the ones in Vabbi too...

Kool Pajamas · Dec 25, 2006, 06:34 PM // 18:34

Gah! I guess I should stop wasting time in snowball arenas and start getting all 10 of my pve characters to those chests.....

Muk Utep · Dec 25, 2006, 06:41 PM // 18:41

If you opened the chests, you got the money. It automatically appears in your inventory, you don't even need to pick it up, and the minimum amount seems to be 500 (and maximum 2000-2500). If you're claiming that you somehow didn't get the money, file a bug report or, more likely, stop lying.

Update from Gaile at GWO. (because she REALLY hates Guru)

I have checked all references to the Treasure Chests that I can find, and none indicate a "pull date." So it's very possible that they are permanent additions. Reading the Update Notes of December 20th, they say just this, "Additional treasure chests are available throughout the continent of Elona."

I have sent an email to clarify, as what's written seems to indicate they are not temporary and are not related only to Wintersday. Today is Christmas Day and I don't know for sure who is picking up email during the holiday period. My instinct now is to say they're here for good, based on all the references I can gather, but I'll do my best to confirm that with offical word from one of the designers involved with the chests as soon as possible. :smiley:

So...uh...I don't know what to believe.

I'm almost positive that the chest in domain of pain gave me 3 plat.

-Loki- · Dec 26, 2006, 01:48 AM // 01:48

The Domain of Pain chest does give 3 plat - I just did it.

Thallandor · Dec 26, 2006, 02:13 AM // 02:13

Errr it would be nice if you can confirm about the treasures Gaile.

I am still confused about your previous inchat comments and the recent ones in GWO. I am currently rushing my toons across the NF game asap instead of enjoying the events atm from the previous comments that the treasures are seasonal.
