Throughout Nightfall are the hidden locations to get treasure chests, buried treasure, or the elusive Do Not Touch. Take a trip back in time when you first found one of these kinds of treasures.

If you can remember what you got, post that. If not, how did you feel getting not only gold, but a purple/gold item along with it?

I did a run of all of them on several of my characters last night.

Gold varied from 500g (Kamadan) to almost 3k (Realm of Torment).

Most drops were gold, mostly weapons (high req), a few shields, and two items for runes. Net about 20k or so. Mods have been pretty bad on most drops I've got from them.

Mainly golds, never got any gems (though I've heard they drop). Gold has always ranged from 1k to 3k for me (and generally based on level of the area it's found in).

In The Desolation, I got a gold with a merchant value of FOUR hundred! :O

Random terrible golds with lame mods.

I used to do these runs alot when i first heard about them, i beat Nightfall with 10 of my characters, so i basically had access to most of the treasures out there, when i did all of them i used to rake in about 100k the first run, then next month, i raked in more than 100k, then the third time another 100k, then from there it went downhill, purples, 500g - 2k is what i was getting, then i just stopped, was fun tho. i got +30 shield mods, -5/20% mods sundering 20/20 mods from swords, little change here and there but it all adds up in the end.

first time thru was pretty good, all except my lady monk------since she didnt have margrid she didnt get to do dasha, so when I finished the game with her I did some runs (after completing the missions she had missed) and on the FIRST time with her in dasha I got a grape and just over 1plat

, I had also gone to the last treasure spot (domain of secrets?) to cap her monk elite---had only been there for a mission, and yes she got just over 1plat and another crummy grape.....welll after that she decided that the chests just didnt like her so she wont do them.

Funny thing I have noticed with these chests....for my characters that have finished nf they get worse junk each time, for the ones that are still working their way thru---they are still getting max gold and gold items! (even when they go back to the first treasures, every month!).

Now I just do the chests when a character wants new armor or such (and they need the plat), since the items are usually not worth it.

Bryant Again · Jan 29, 2008, 08:29 PM // 20:29

Got a Kournen Defender, R7 and max. I was pretty damn psyked.

Kahlindra · Jan 29, 2008, 08:32 PM // 20:32

I remember that an early one was a req 8 command shield with some nice mods on, I was happy with that as I had a baby paragon.

I always mean to go hoover them all up with each character every month, but it drives me to distraction so I never do. Stupid missing out on free money, even if my necro gets horribly bad things from them now.

VitisVinifera · Jan 29, 2008, 08:51 PM // 20:51

why there's this diminishing returns thing that won't ever revert is a mystery to me

Mr. G · Jan 29, 2008, 09:17 PM // 21:17

Lady S Shiva · Jan 29, 2008, 09:28 PM // 21:28

ran them twice on 9 char, nothing really good drop for me, but i really like the free gold unid

thedeadwalk! · Jan 29, 2008, 09:41 PM // 21:41

When I heard of 'em, went to wiki and farmed them over several characters. Got a lot of Adamantine Falchions, Vabbian Scimitars, and Diamond and Iridescent Aegises.

I was selling these for 60-80k since they were still pretty rare, but that soon ended. Still, made a lot of money off 'em.

super strokey · Jan 29, 2008, 09:44 PM // 21:44

I got a req 9 perfect gemstone axe from the very first one i opened, rest have been ok. I might go run for some tonight as i havnt gone for them in months. Thanks for the reminder! Ill spend any cahs i get one zaishen keys, I want a damn beetle tonic everlasting or not lol. Gotta love the beetle dance!

blood4blood · Jan 29, 2008, 09:46 PM // 21:46

IIRC first free chest drop in NF was Issnur Isles, (gold) 14-21 Adamantine Falchion with crap mods. I threw it on Koss for a character I rarely play - I think he may still have it lol. Other than that, I've gotten a diamond, some gold, and a lot of junk golds and purples, some with decent mods to salvage, most just merch fodder.

rayd · Jan 29, 2008, 10:14 PM // 22:14

opened one like 6 months ago

opened the same one today, grape item, 500 gold... didn't bother on the others and went back to RA

Angelica · Jan 29, 2008, 10:47 PM // 22:47

I could not believe that my bad luck would follow me even the first time I open a treasure chest ...... I open 2 for the first time and I got two usless purple items!

The gold was good but should I start to think that I am purple cursed toon?

chowmein69 · Jan 29, 2008, 10:54 PM // 22:54

my first one was the one at balaztzar avatar and got a kournaN defender and 2k
