I wasn't complaining, I was inserting things that are likely to be changed because it's TOO easy.

I think it's an amazing addition to the game. It gives people a taste of what it's like to get "lucky" sometimes, even if they never are.
Also, you can't complain that you're getting a couple plat here and there. You definitely need it for skills / dyes / armor upgrades, or whatever else you really want to buy but can't quite afford.

Well, I've only had girls out as far as Arkjok Ward for the special chests and I must say that it is great fun! Between 500 and 1K gold each time plus a gold item including a wild looking Adamantine sword with +19% enchant duration pommel.
Oh, and capped Avatar of Balthazar with my ele/derv.....just because he made it personal! Took a few...ok, several....ok ok, many resurrects but I have the avatar elite!
Later, I'll take Sanura out since she's been playing around in the Realm of Torment and can certainly use a break.
Bestest Yule, I mean Wintersday, ever

Map to Arjok Ward Chest, started from Jahai Bluffs, this way you don't have to fight anything.

Opened one chest, got:
req 10 vabbian scimitar

In my opinion these should be removed after the update. Finishing Elona doesn't take as long as you just go through the missions, and if each character can get these items you can get gold really rapidly. Wait untill people start rushing 7 characters through the game at a time...
Trying to open all of them myself now Capping skills on the way.

Holdings of Chorikn or w/e had no treasures either :\

Crystal Overlook had nothing. The two cairn stones (diablo 2 lol) there also do nothing

I just think it's funny for people to say "these should be nerfed after the update" and "I'm getting as many as I can" in the same post and still take themselves seriously. Better nerf this stuff.... AFTER I get MY leet gear...
Diddy bow
i think these will be removed after xmas way to good drops for free :/
Rok
I searched Lahtenda Bog, nothing there
As far as drops went, i got around 26k
the gold weapons were nothing spectacular, some good mods but high req on the weapons, also got 1 Diamond

I've opened every treasure listed on Guildwiki. I got nothing worth keeping except for a few mods:
Two 15/-5 Insignias
+30 HP Scythe Grip
Energy +5>50
20% Enchant Sword Pommel
-2 enchant shield insignia
A few weapons:
Near Perfect Furious Ornate Scythe of Shelter (Req 9, 10/10, 14/Stance, +7)
Req 11 Igneous Blade (Crappy stats: Poisonous, 10% Spell Recharge)
Req 9 Tribal Shield (Reduces Poison)
I got a few high req/crappy stats caster items that I merchanted, and I also got a worthless gold armor.
I also made around 20k cash.

nobody knows

^ You should probally treat them like they are here only during the holidays, and then be plesantly suprised when they announce that they stay... Rather than the other way around.

Nearly everything I've gotten so far has been 1% off max (19% Axe +1, 14^50, etc.) BUT otherwise, they've been really nice. In fact, I got a perfect gladius, req 9, +15/stance with an armor bonus (I think) and a conditional bonus, too .
And there was a max req 9 str Shield of the Lion down in the Issnur Isles for me, so Istan does have max goodies.
My favorite, my absolute favorite, was - a DIAMOND. It's the first gemstone ever for me in all three chapters.
....goes off to plan strategy for the Domain of Pain treasure....

Whether it's here for good or for the event's duration, one thing's for certain. This is awesome and I love Anet.

Since these aren't your usual locked chests and seem more like the lost strongboxes of old, are they safe to open with a full party, heros, or henchmen? Will the loot be split between everyone there, or do drops go only to the person who opened the chest?
X of Thulcandra
No, party members of any type do not matter. You will still get a random amount of gold and a gold item.

I made a party with a friend to get one of these chests. I opened it first and got 1k and a gold staff, then he opened it and got only 1.5k. He didnt get a gold, so i believe it might effect drops if more than 1 person uses it. Unless there is a slight chance of not getting a gold by default?
Xx_Sorin_xX
there is atleast a small chance of something not being given from the new chests. I've opened about 20 (over 3 chars) and one of them (the one in mirror of lyss) didn't give anything for my warrior. Though i still got 2 plat, so I'm not complaining. Thx anet

umm, hold down Alt. You might have gotten a Gem and didn't see it.

Have you guys noticed that the caster items that drop tend to be with the requirement of their primary attribute? I've gotten many items with req for either soul reaping, energy storage or spawning power. Also, loads of shields and lots of bows too - less everything else.
I've gone through the locations with my 3 characters who've gone through the game now and can't really complain - nice amount of gems, some nice items for me and my heroes, storage full of nice inscriptions and good amount of money on top of that. Really nice Wintersday surprise from A-Net.

No bows whatsoever yet . And only the one gem. Unburied enough gold to buy the last piece of 10K (and materials) and replace double the gold, all with one character. Still carrying a few of the weapons, trying to decide whether to sell or keep for later. I'd also noticed the staves tended to be with primary attributes -- kinda like that idea.
Tomorrow another goes out to dig up some treasure .
Cannot find the treasure in Nightfallen Jahai and have scoured the bloody map several times! Anybody able to tell me exactly where it's supposed to be? Went by wiki and the map there but never even saw the boss it's supposed to be near.

So it seems to me that there are 2 possibilities here. The first is that there are 12 chests total, 3 for each area. So far we have 3 chest in Kourna (Bluff, A Ward, Crevice), 3 in Vabbi (Mirror, Forum, Dasha) 3 in Rot (NF Jahai, Pain, Fear) and 2 in Istan (Key & Isles) and the desolation (Heart & Wastes). This would mean that there are 2 chests in these last 2 areas still to be found.
The other possibility is that there are simply 10 chests total (a nice round number) and the Desolation and Istan only have 2 each because they are smaller in size. In which case all the chests have been found.
