I said Id do this tomorrow, but I went in on my Necro (the first to open the chests). She did it a day or two after the last reset, but got nothing tonight. Seems like it's hit-and-miss.

this is weird for me, but when i was in Jahai Bluffs mapping out the area for the title, i went to the fort to stop by and get the treasure there since I hadn't picked it up on my sin yet (least i didn't think i did..i think my monk was the only one who had gone around and collected the most). Either way, the chest wasn't there o.O I held down alt and even ctrl and there was nada, not even a djinn guarding it like last time o_O iunno if that has anything to do with anything...i tried it just yesterday, too.

at any rate, looks like my monk will be running through kourna again xD

Treasures were introduced on the December 20, 2006 update and the "counter" was reset on January 19, 2007 update, allowing characters who have already claimed the treasure before Jan. 19th to get it again.

I tried my 3 PvE characters, all of them have opened all the treasures after the January 19th reset, and none of them can open any today. So this does not seem to be a global reset of the treasures. To the people who are opening treasures again, are you sure that you last opened them after January 19th? It seems that way for a few people at least since they claim it is their third run.

On another note, if ANet keeps resetting these things every month, then all our characters will get 25K + 13 gold items every month. I wonder what would happen to the market (although it is nice to be able to equip all our heroes with good weapons and runes from these treasures).

Mods would drop in price, and the items that drop would go down. But they arent' worth that much now anyways so it wouldn't really be that big of a deal in the long run. Just more people would have more money.

opened them all for the third time on my warrior. ranger cant open them

undeadgun · Feb 21, 2007, 07:37 AM // 07:37

problem occured, i got 2 purples from those chests, it never happened to me b4, (opened over 100 of em via my 8 chars, never got a purple), very wierd

Estic · Feb 21, 2007, 07:38 AM // 07:38

A question to those who could open the chests, are they based in Elona or "foreign"? Because I can't open the chests as well but they are all Tyrian characters.

undeadgun · Feb 21, 2007, 07:47 AM // 07:47

my ranger is from cantha, she can open it, my monk is from cantha too, but she cant

Seef II · Feb 21, 2007, 07:55 AM // 07:55

I can open them on my mule monk, but I don't have time to check all my PvE toons.
He is canthan btw.

[edit] So can my paragon, still can't check W (Tyrian), Mo (Tyrian), Me (Canthan), D (Elonian).

Drop of Fear · Feb 21, 2007, 07:56 AM // 07:56

tyrian warrior

Illuminus · Feb 21, 2007, 08:14 AM // 08:14

Confirmed.

3rd time opening chests throughout Elona with my ritualist. This is fun!

{edit} Most of my other characters cant open it for a third time though.

Saraphim · Feb 21, 2007, 09:07 AM // 09:07

After a bit of testing this morning...

Ranger - No
Assassin - No
Ele - No
Dervish - No
Necro - No

Paragon - Yes

Paragon is the only one so far, but she has been parked and receiving no love from me since the last chest run, the others have all been played since the last reset.

Zaganher Deathbane · Feb 21, 2007, 09:10 AM // 09:10

Has any of those characters finished nightfall yet?

Ferret · Feb 21, 2007, 09:22 AM // 09:22

Okay, i only had time to check 5 chests with one character this morning before work.

I'm on the Euro servers and in England. My character was my Tyrian Ranger that has completed NF.
I tested the two chests/treasures in Istan, the two in Kourna and the first one in Vabbi.
All five gave me a max gold item (though a couple were req 13) and between 1k and 2k gold.

Not a conclusive test, as it was just my main character, but definately his third run on these chests/treasures.

Illuminus · Feb 21, 2007, 09:23 AM // 09:23

Mmm, my ritualist has finished Nightfall.. but none of my other characters. Although i doubt there is a connection with finishing the game and the treasure.

Etta · Feb 21, 2007, 10:03 AM // 10:03

Yeah my paragon opened the same chest again for the 3rd times! (the one near the boss with balth form elite) the flame djinn still guarding it and the gold weapon still there!

garethporlest18 · Feb 21, 2007, 10:29 AM // 10:29

Well my tank is the only one who beat NF and he still can't open them, neither can any of my other 7 characters. Only my monk, who's not past Vabbi was able to open them for a third time.

EDIT: I wish someone would come tell us what's going on. I don't want to constantly keep checking with 8 characters to see if the chest works for them or not.

Gli · Feb 21, 2007, 11:19 AM // 11:19

None of my nine characters could open the Mirror of Lyss treasure again. That's the only one I tried.

These chests are not the regular chests you see when you enter an explorable area. These are special, free chests, that ANET introduced a few weeks ago.

It doesn't matter where your character is from. Everybody can open them.

At first we thought it was a one shot deal, then ANET did a reset and players were able to open them for a second time. Now it seems you can open them yet again.

good luck and have fun!!

Cacheelma · Feb 21, 2007, 11:55 AM // 11:55

I tried with my mesmer (who I know for a fact has opened all of these treasures twice already) with the on in Jahai Bluff and I didn't get anything. My mesmer has finished Nightfall and he is from Tyria.
