I didn't think that you got credit towards the Treasure Hunter title by opening desert chests.

I've noticed about a 40% gold item drop rate from chests as well.

Anybody know if the quality of the gold item found out of chests varies based on their location in that area? For example, will a chest in either Witman's Folly or in the Droknar's troll cave yield similar quality gold items as one say in Mineral Springs or in Ice Floe?

I'd think so, but I'm not sure. This explains why some people do Hells Precipice runs while they could do Perdition Rock (a lot easier).

I thought I would open a few chests last night and decided to try Raisu Palace as the drops are rumoured to be good there..

After my seventh purple in a row (all of which were utterly useless!) I gave up and went and played a bit of Fort Aspenwood to work off some of the frustration! LOL

35.7%
i open every single chests, even if someone else already found it to be purple. 480gold each for they keys, after 3000+ chests i profited 5milions, means i payed all my keys and sold stuff i dropped for 5milions +.
and i still have loads of things to sell.

dunno why ppl rant about chests... in cantha chests are insanely good just dont pretend to open 10 chests and find the ultra-uber-rare item. after u opened 100+ chests u may start to whine if u haven't dropped something worthy

By seeing al the ratioes, i say aruond 37-38% of chests you open are gold items, so you have too sell alot of purples in the hests u open

I keep getting blue and white items out of chests I open. But then, my character is no further than Borlis Pass. Do they improve?

I stopped buying keys because the keys were costing more than the value of most of what I got...

both monster drops and chest drops improve as you get to *higher level* content

66/130... 50.8%... nothing worthwhile

My ranger has 100 chests open and 76 (I think) rares IDed. About 5 or so came from gold drops though.

Keyed chests drop purple or gold items only. No blues or whites.
