Additional Treasure Chests in Elona
Empex
Guildwiki says they are seasonal, can someone find the quote saying so?
Traveller
This is from Gaile's visit last night.

Alright, that definately wasn't implied from the update notes.
Well, admittingly, if they stayed, they would bork the economy.

Not really.
They would add a bit more gold items into the market, but it's inefficient to "farm" these chests by creating new characters, so you can't really abuse them.

Ah well. Time to rush some characters through

That's kinda mean... I know they're nice and all to put the treasure in there in the first place, but there's no way I can get my other 7 characters through to the end in time, and now I'll be stuck wondering what I would have gotten if only I had played nonstop... 
Plus it makes me feel like rushing characters a bit when they're close to areas with chests, and I really don't like that. I'd prefer to play in my own time.
It wouldn't ruin the economy to keep them in the game, because the biggest effects are apparent right now, when people are taking their finished characters to all chests in one go. The effect would only lessen over time: once the finished characters got all their treasures, only characters going through the game would be getting theirs, so treasures would be opened at a slower rate.

I pity the newer players to nightfall, they are the ones who needed the treasure chest most, yet have not perhaps had the chance to advance far enough into the game to benefit from it since it is seasonal.
BoredJoe
I'll probably try and "rush" a couple of characters through. It'll be interesting just doing the main missions, no Masters, side quests or much elite capping.
Mother_Goose
I might be looking into it too much, but is anyone else a little questioning about the term "seasonal"? Does this imply that the chests may reappear at other times, not just the Wintersday season?

it's not mean at all.
it's good of anet to even place them in the game.
and if you don't want to rush then don't rush, there's plenty of other ways to make money....

Anet is only rewarding the people who bothered to take their characters through the whole game, by making it a "Christmas gift". If you get a gift certificate to a restaurant you hate, you don't complain to the person who gave it to you. Accept it and do what you can.
Thallandor
well there is technically a way to get all chest for all your PvE toon.
Dont close your client when the new patch comes to remove the wintersday updates and take your time to play and get all the treasures.
Downside is that you got to keep your computer on and not close the client, logging off is ok and of course there no one else in the towns but you. However if you play with Herohench anyways it doesnt matter.

I ran Eldred(Necro), Highwind(Ranger) and Yuki(Warrior) through all the chests up to Vabbi.
Let's just say I have enough for Yuki's 15k primeval dyed black.

It was nice of them to put them in game yes and I did make a nice amount..but no there aren't plenty of other *fun* ways to make money in a game. It's a game making money for items you want/need should be fun. But hahaha since Anet doesn't know what pleases every person, a lot of them get shafted.

Yeah , i discovered em all too on allot of charrs ...got bout 100K platinum and then Sup vigor (2x :O) +30 for scythe Sword and Spear and some other mods ... lets just say i have enough for some 15K armors too
falling demon
to be honest, i'm glad they're seasonal, because chances are, that means we get new ones for every season which = more money! so no, it's not unfair that they will be gone soon.
Cybergasm
I got (what I consider) a sweet bow. 14-27(req.11) +15%(unconditional) +30hp -5 energy and icy damage. It came on a bramble skin too- which is by far my favorite.
Jeff Highwind
The bow isn't max, 15-28 is the max range.
The HP grip is killer though.

You guys know what. Just had one of those funny thoughts 
Maybe these are Anets way of trying to slow down the CC farming. HAHA

Yeah i only did the baddok cavern chest once and the 2nd domain + ruptured heart chest twice ebcause they were hard and im lazy.
Jeff Highwind
Bahdok cavern wasn't that tough, there's just alotta apes and heket to deal with.
But yea I only did up to vabbi because I knew the Desolation and Torment ones would be too tough.

Sentience
The Desolation and Torments are rather easy, most of your hench can stay alive till you reach the one next to the Signet of Illusions boss. The one in the Gate of Pain is easy, I just run around the area outside of the central area and dodge the Margonite's. It's rather simple and usually at least 1 hench survives till the end to distract the group near the chest.
Done pretty well off these chests, made around 350k off of them. It was the deciding factor in purchasing Fissure for my Warrior.

Evilsod
Why fight to them? All but 2 can be reached via running. Either bring Shadow Form, Spellbreaker (or an SB Hero), Shields Up and some running skills and run to it with ease or waste your time fighting to them all.
To reach the 1 in Domain of Pain... just run onto the bridge, use SB on yourself and run through.
Nightfallen Jahai...hope a Rain of Terror isnt in the group or bring SB/SF.
Trickiest 1 is in the Hidden City imo, need a long SF/SB to make it past the CA Mirage Ibolgas.

I have sent an email to clarify, as what's written seems to indicate they are not temporary and are not related only to Wintersday. Today is Christmas Day and I don't know for sure who is picking up email during the holiday period. My instinct now is to say they're here for good, based on all the references I can gather, but I'll do my best to confirm that with offical word from one of the designers involved with the chests as soon as possible. :smiley: So...uh...I don't know what to believe.

Yes, I'm very sorry. With the holidays, I'm out of touch with the others on the team, so all I can provide is theory. However, here is what I wrote earlier, based on what research I could do of internal documents:

Mark Nevermiss
I donno 350k sounds too much to be true, but who knows.. I got a total of about 35k from the lot of them on each of my two chars that had access to all areas, including the value of the dropped weapons. Either thats not true or sucks 2 b me :P
Alexander Castle

Chests are wonderful way to get cash really quickly but on the other hand there goes another bunch of items down the toilet if looking from traders point of view.
Now where's our crystalline sword chests?
