So if i understand correctly this is in elona only...in every zone????

Not every zone, only some.

SinnersSeeker · Dec 22, 2006, 08:55 PM // 20:55

The ones I found so far..

All "treasures" contained either a gold item (ALL gold items were max dmg + inscribable) *or* a gem aswell as 500-2500g.
I seemed to get more cash in the higher req areas.. Got two ~500g drops in Istan, atleast one ~2500g drop in Torment.. Not 100% sure about that, although it would make sense.

I went with a group consisting of people in my alliance, 5-8 people(+heroes if needed). Nobody got a single empty treasure (unless they had opened it before), always cash+item/gem.

Now I just have to get a second character through Elona..

--------------------------------------------------------------

Istan:
Issnur Isles (Buried Treasure) [Adamantine Falchion, req 10]
Mehtani Keys (Treasure Chest) [Soul Spire, req 11]

Kourna:
Arkjok Ward (Buried Treasure) [Bramble Flatbow, req 11]
Jahai Bluffs (Treasure Chest) [Superior Absorption] <--- would've been nice 6 months ago...

Bahdok Caverns (Do Not Touch) [Briarwood Scythe, req 12]

Vabbi:
The Mirror of Lyss (Buried Treasure) [Vabbian Scimitar, req 12]
Forum Highlands (Do Not Touch) [Ruby Daggers, req 11]
The Hidden City of Ahdashim (Treasure Chest) [Diamond]

The Desolation:
The Sulfurous Wastes (Treasure Chest) [Bleached Skull, req 11]
The Ruptured Heart (Buried Treasure) [Sapphire]

Realm of Torment:
Nightfallen Jahai (Treasure Chest) [Shadow Scythe, req 11]
Domain of Pain (Treasure Chest) [Igneous Blade, req9]

Not sure what you mean by every zone......but yes, it's just in elona. All over elona. Check wiki on where to find them.

I got a little over 3k out of one of them, actually...

-.- · Dec 23, 2006, 12:22 AM // 00:22

^Yea, both chests in the Realm of Torment gave me a little over 3.1k.

SinnersSeeker · Dec 23, 2006, 02:15 AM // 02:15

Well, the cash drops seemed to vary for different members of the party. Sometimes I'd get more than my buddy, the next time I got less..
Maybe I was less lucky in the Torment.

Feurin Longcastle · Dec 23, 2006, 06:02 AM // 06:02

Most of my drops were merch food, except a req. 9 Shadow Axe +30 HP I got from Nightfallen Jahai. I think the drop rarity is scaled proportionally to the cash drop.

Anybody gotten a bow yet from a treasure chest or buried treasure?

I got a req9 Dragon Hornbow and a req9 Bramble Shortbow from these chests.

kazjun · Dec 23, 2006, 07:49 AM // 07:49

Think the plat is not that random. Tried it with several characters and found
Istan = 500g + x
Kournan = 1 plat + x
Vabbi + Desolation = 2 plat + x
RoT = 3 plat +x

Couldn't see a pattern for item drops, but got all golds and no gems for me

Thom Bangalter · Dec 23, 2006, 07:56 AM // 07:56

I got one ruby, which was quickly merched. A nice gold shield of the lion (req 9, one boring mod, unless you're hot for -2 enchanted--I'm not), a mesmer staff, a nice necro staff that was quickly sold, a hammer (req 13

), and some high req axes and spears with perfect enchanting mod.

But who cares? shadow form>most of the runs, guaranteed semi-decent drops, and a possible gem. Plus, no keys required!

arcanemacabre · Dec 23, 2006, 08:17 AM // 08:17

I am so happy about these hidden treasures! Best thing ever. I've got one character all the way through, and another at the Gate of Pain, so I was able to get just about every [known] treasure (couldn't get the hidden city one on my warrior cause she don't have Margrid, yet). All in all, I've made about 60 plat and lots of nice-skinned items.

My Paragon is now nice and decked out with an Ancient Shield and Sunburst Spear, both Req 9. I got my warrior a Req 9 Elonian-style Gladius, a nice Curses 20/20 offhand (medusa-head), and a nice Scepter of the Forgotten. Everything else I got is either going to my heroes, given to friends or my wife, was reaped of mods, or merched.

Anyone know if there are any of these chests/treasures in DoA?

Thom Bangalter · Dec 23, 2006, 08:33 AM // 08:33

If there is, it should spit out nothing but serpent axes, sephis axes, crystallines, and other hot items, because I'm sure it's nuts to get to.

I would say so since there are 12 total per character. You are missing about half of them.

Gold/Platinum doesn't drop, it is just deposited directly into the total your character is carrying. If you pay attention to your chat window, when you 'activate' the treasure, it will say something along the lines of: "You recieve XXXX gold.", and that amount appears in your inventory.

darktyco · Dec 23, 2006, 02:29 PM // 14:29

I kept getting igneous swords, haven't ever seen swords like them before. Other than that I got a bunch of a monk focus items a shield. Never any gems. In the realm of torment I also got a little over 3k per treasure.

Crom The Pale · Dec 23, 2006, 02:43 PM // 14:43

Me and a couple of freinds have noticed a pattern, but maybe its just us.

On my War all I seem to get is bows, 5 in fact so far(thats all the chests hes reached)

On my friends Monk he has recieved mostly shields.
On my other friends Ranger he has recieved 5 soul reaping weapons/offhands.

Could just be a really funny coincidence but.........

Anyone else notice simmilar?
