I found a chest that doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet. There's a Burried Treasure dead south of Beknur Harbor in Istan, all the way to the edge near the coast. It's kind of on the way to the one in the Mehtani Keys.

Just about everyone "hard" to run to can be done easily with shadow form. Just watch out for chillblains.

I got a Ruby, and A lower req Diamond Aegis for the stuff worth mentioning. An interesting prot offhand (Holy Vial?) A few other odds and ends weapons (all inscribable) not all bad, but most with high reqs. I did manage to salvage a +5 energy mod.

Anyone else notice if everything was inscribed? Mine all were. And the Chest in Lost city was the one that gave me a Ruby. I've a sneaky suspicion that these chest aren't completely random.. and it'd be intresting to see what kinda range of items they have on them.

Other stuff I got: Desolation Maul, Ivory Hammer, Igneous Blade, Shield of the Lion, Barral Hammer, Cauldron (rit offhand), and a wooden Boar Scepter, and a Divine staff.

I went out last night with my friend and noticed the same thing. You needed a bit more patience. There's a gap of a minute or so before the next person can claim a treasure. It did seem that when the first person opened the treasure, that both people got the gold. It was just the item that was seperate per person, and only spawned after a short delay between item drops. That said, for the four chests we tagged, all yielded two gold items... one for each of us.

This has been pretty sweet.
I did nearly a full run last night with my Paragon and got some pretty cool items.
Adamantine Falchion (Req9) inscribable (Hard to find info about this one)
Diamond Aegis - (I THINK Req 9 Tactics)
Barbed Axe - (Req 10) with a +30hp mod
a variety of hammers

NO gems though. I'm always using my ALT key, so I would have noticed.

I didn't keep a runnning total of Plat, but probably around 20k, give or take.

Thanks ANet!

Now.. Mesmer and Ele time!

Just a thought, but it seems there is one in each zone. /dunno

I bring some guildmate over there, and out of ~35 chests opened(different characters/guildies), there like ~7 adamantine falchions(req 9-13) pop out.

The ones I found so far..

All "treasures" contained either a gold item (ALL gold items were max dmg + inscribable) *or* a gem aswell as 500-2500g.
I seemed to get more cash in the higher req areas.. Got two ~500g drops in Istan, atleast one ~2500g drop in Torment.. Not 100% sure about that, although it would make sense.

I went with a group consisting of people in my alliance, 5-8 people(+heroes if needed). Nobody got a single empty treasure (unless they had opened it before), always cash+item/gem.

Now I just have to get a second character through Elona..

--------------------------------------------------------------

Istan:
Issnur Isles (Buried Treasure) [Adamantine Falchion, req 10]
Mehtani Keys (Treasure Chest) [Soul Spire, req 11]

Kourna:
Arkjok Ward (Buried Treasure) [Bramble Flatbow, req 11]
Jahai Bluffs (Treasure Chest) [Superior Absorption] <--- would've been nice 6 months ago...
Bahdok Caverns (Do Not Touch) [Briarwood Scythe, req 12]

Vabbi:
The Mirror of Lyss (Buried Treasure) [Vabbian Scimitar, req 12]
Forum Highlands (Do Not Touch) [Ruby Daggers, req 11]
The Hidden City of Ahdashim (Treasure Chest) [Diamond]

The Desolation:
The Sulfurous Wastes (Treasure Chest) [Bleached Skull, req 11]
The Ruptured Heart (Buried Treasure) [Sapphire]

Realm of Torment:
Nightfallen Jahai (Treasure Chest) [Shadow Scythe, req 11]
Domain of Pain (Treasure Chest) [Igneous Blade, req9]

Well, the cash drops seemed to vary for different members of the party. Sometimes I'd get more than my buddy, the next time I got less..
Maybe I was less lucky in the Torment.

Most of my drops were merch food, except a req. 9 Shadow Axe +30 HP I got from Nightfallen Jahai. I think the drop rarity is scaled proportionally to the cash drop.

Think the plat is not that random. Tried it with several characters and found
Istan = 500g + x
Kournan = 1 plat + x
Vabbi + Desolation = 2 plat + x
RoT = 3 plat +x

Couldn't see a pattern for item drops, but got all golds and no gems for me

I got one ruby, which was quickly merched. A nice gold shield of the lion (req 9, one boring mod, unless you're hot for -2 enchanted--I'm not), a mesmer staff, a nice necro staff that was quickly sold, a hammer (req 13 ), and some high req axes and spears with perfect enchanting mod.

But who cares? shadow form>most of the runs, guaranteed semi-decent drops, and a possible gem. Plus, no keys required!

I am so happy about these hidden treasures! Best thing ever. I've got one character all the way through, and another at the Gate of Pain, so I was able to get just about every [known] treasure (couldn't get the hidden city one on my warrior cause she don't have Margrid, yet). All in all, I've made about 60 plat and lots of nice-skinned items.

My Paragon is now nice and decked out with an Ancient Shield and Sunburst Spear, both Req 9. I got my warrior a Req 9 Elonian-style Gladius, a nice Curses 20/20 offhand (medusa-head), and a nice Scepter of the Forgotten. Everything else I got is either going to my heroes, given to friends or my wife, was reaped of mods, or merched.

Anyone know if there are any of these chests/treasures in DoA?

If there is, it should spit out nothing but serpent axes, sephis axes, crystallines, and other hot items, because I'm sure it's nuts to get to.

If you pay attention to your chat window, when you 'activate' the treasure, it will say something along the lines of: "You recieve XXXX gold.", and that amount appears in your inventory.

Me and a couple of freinds have noticed a pattern, but maybe its just us.

On my War all I seem to get is bows, 5 in fact so far(thats all the chests hes reached)

On my friends Monk he has recieved mostly shields.
On my other friends Ranger he has recieved 5 soul reaping weapons/offhands.

Could just be a really funny coincidence but.........

Anyone else notice simmilar?
