Additional treasure chests are available throughout the continent of Elona. I was curious what these treasure chests were, so I went out and checked in the Mirror of Lyss and found this...



As I click on the buried treasure this is what I received, 2 plat and a diamond.



The items are random, I think you can get anything of the "treasure chests" and also some gold/platinum. Plus, you don't need any keys for them.

It seems that their spawning locations aren't random, they appear at the exact same spot every time.

I wonder how long before folks start doing buried treasure runs....

(Or prehaps someone thought ahead and you can't )

They appear in the same spot every time, but I think you can only open them once. I tried doing it twice in a row, second time I got nothing. The chest I was going for was the one next to Acolyte of Balth.

I think you can only receive something from them once per character. I went out to the same spot with my Warrior and she received 2k.

I found a small fort with several Monoliths, it contained a chest that gave me crap. I think all the chests have 100% gold drops.

Yes they are, why would there be a thread here about people suddenly finding three of them if they were not new?

I think these chests have an incredibly high chance of dropping with perfect drops. Moreso than regular golds, definitely.

"perfect"?

One gave me a req13 Azure Recurve Bow - only mod was a Measure for Measure inscription.

Perfect...huh

The other two gave me a gem (1 was ruby, 1 was sapphire) and some amount of gold between 1-2k.

Most likely (im guessing) Teutonic has visited the three already discovered chests several times over various characters.

Went over to the chest near Balthazar and the one in the Mirror of Lyss. About 2plat, a ruby, and a perfect gold healing offhand

Since we're already seeing quite a few gems drop, I'm hoping the prices of rubies and sapphires(and diamond) will go back down and make Vabbi Armor more in line with the other 15K armors.

There's one in Nightfallen Jahai, to the far, far east, with the Shepherd of Dementia.

I got 2 Iridescent Aeges from the 2 RoT chests...they both sucked.

Found another in the Hidden City, it's located in the east on a platform.


Here's another location, it's southeast in Bahdok Caverns where the huge amount of gold is located. It also has "Do Not Touch" where Djinns spawn.

Nice addition, got to go and try to find them as well. This does add some form of replayability to existing areas without causing farm runs to tank the economy and make exploration worthwhile again

Now waiting for some kind soul with the time to complie a map with the locations of the new "treasure chest" if their location remains constant. Another community project maybe?
