ArenaNet has not stated the criteria for the resets. Some presume treasures can be re-opened after waiting a month, however some reportedly cannot open chests even after a month has passed. Although, if you don't wait long enough, you will find reduced amounts of money, and the types of items found in treasure may be purple instead of the coveted gold. Some advocate the theory that better riches are to be had from opening treasures in hard mode, though this has been proven to be untrue.

So basically no one really knows^^

My Ele (11 Million XP, over 1,200 hours-week away from 11months old) hasn't had hers reset for some 3-months ...

Pretty messed up if "The more you play on a single character, the less often they're reset"

It's about 30 days. But in that 30 days, you cannot try to open the chest, or it's another 30 days. That's why I didn't get mine for months, I tried to open too soon. Got it 2 more times in the past 2 months though. Going to do it again around August 31st, because I know that way, that it's been 30 days.

At least that's the way it's spose to work, but it doesn't work on everybody. Whether that's intentional or not, I do not know.

Everyone knows the chests reset when you have without a doubt given up trying.
If you go to check a chest, of course it won't have reset because you didn't give up checking it!
It's very simple.
If you want the chests to reset, never check them again.

Ive had my chests reset about 5 times now. after the 5th time, u start getting purples EVERY time. relaly lame if u ask me

I think you have to play that character for awhile before the chest will reset.

from my experience, im 100% confident that the chests get reset on the characters played least on the account.
