I dont know what anyone else has experienced, but when I hit the Istan chests with my low level characters, all the golds I got were flawed. I.E. 15-21 damage, 1 to 2 points from max. I only did it 4 times, 2 ea on 2 characters, but it was enough to make me want to wait till they hit 20 before visiting from now on and if that is the case, it will keep people from farming them with new accounts.

Nope, the Istani treasure are just as apt to drop "flawed" golds when you're level 20 as when you're lower level. I've opened them with characters lvl 10 thru 20 and most are just a tad off max, although a couple have been max.
By and large, though, at the least the weapons are bonus gold (sell to the merchant) that I didn't have already plus the 500+gp from each treasure. No way do I consider that idea flawed!

The treasure at the Issnur Isles is always non-max for me, but at the Methani Keys the treasure is always max. Interesting little tidbit there.

that's odd, since all of my drops of the istani treasure chests in mehtani keys were not max and all in issnur isles were ....

Offtopic: I almost s*** myself when I saw a near-perfect Cyclopian Wand (Death) drop at Methandi Keys. I am in the market now for a perfect Death Offhand to make up for my loss of Gihal.

4 Characters had full access to all chests (Ladder lock=PVE time), 2 had access up to Vortex. Found a r9 Tactics Diamond Aegis first day, r10 Command Iridesent Aegis, multiple gems (7k each approximately), and a r9 Motivation Iridescent Aegis, several sellable upgrades (20% enchantings, -5/20% shield, etc) plus all the gold.
You have to understand that I have retardedly good luck.

My 2 level 20 characters with access to the Istan chest got max stats from both those chests, maybe I had bad luck on the two low level ones.

The map that was posted made this one seem not worth the trip, but boy it was worth the trip. If you have better maps for the other locations plz post. Any other areas found or eliminated?

7 chars down only 12 more to go.

There is a very simple route to the cavern treasure =/ since i did it like 5 times i figured the quickest route, i'll post it after i get my next char there.
If you guys want.
I usually dont fight any of this stuff though lol. Its all running (much quicker) all the chests are runnable just to tell u guys.
(i've done it with my monk, war, ranger, derv, paragon and ele. still need to rush my necro, rit, assassin and mesmer up there.)

Enter from the mission area dude, it's MUCH faster. :P

Confirmed, they WILL be permanent!

it seems that every map of the chest in the domain of pain was screenshot as if going through the explorable area...but does the chest show up in the mission version of the map? none of the other chests were placed in areas that are considered "mission" areas so i figured if it showed up in both, i would rather go through the mission version, as id like to save myself the headache and voice thanks

Nope sorry only in the explorable ares

blah! but thats okay i went the longer but easier/safer fighting route instead of going thru all 3 of those mobs in the middle. that was about the only thing that kept me from doing that zone in the first place--trying to run through them 
got a neat shadow axe and 2 junky things though. definitely worth the trouble

Hmmm. I did get a perfect Cyclopian wand from the Methandi chest, req 9 Death, max with a 20% Memory wrapping. I salvaged all the mods off it and didnt lose the wand.
Too bad I don't like the 'petrified sperm' skin, cause it's just sitting in storage.

Yea today I re-did a chest in Torment and got a r9 Bleached Skull with 30HP and +10al vs Blunt. I don't need a offhand anymore.
and lol @ petrified sperm. It's cold damage too, so laugh at that alot.

Man this rox. i just made another 100k in cash from chests, but the only thing good i pulled were req 9 soul spire, req 9 wooden boar scepter, and req 9 diamond aegis. is it me or does anybody notice that wooden boar scepter are only dropping from these treasure chest?
Jeff Highwind
Yea down in Kourna in either Jahai Bluffs or Dejarin Estate all I ever got was the Boar Scepters.
In the Hidden City of Adahsim I only got Diamonds/Sapphires.
In Torment in Desolation all I got were low-req rare skinned shields.
And any offhand I got had 27hp.

It would seem that the chests reset exactly a month after they were introduced?
Coincidence?

Free Runner
Got a nice 15>50 sundering 20/20 req 9 Shadow Axe from one of the reset torment chests
Perhaps they are going to refill these each month. Or it could be just a bug with them tampering with the HoH chest.

You too? All the Fortitude offhands I found were like that...
Jeff Highwind
I think Anet plans to refill this every month. A one-shot use per toon seems like somthing for an event, and there are multiple weapons/items you can only get from said chests (Adamantine Falchion).
cosyfiep
dang all I have been getting are runes.....would like a few gems or nice weapons.
Jeff Highwind
I think I effectively killed the Diamond Price after selling 3 to the trader.

Got 2 scythes and 2 staves from chests/do not touch treasures. These were in Vabbi and one in Desolation. PCing them currently.
I also noticed that the treasure chests are accompanied by a normal locked chest which gave me golds 2/3 times.
Edit: What do you mean by resetting the chests? Does it mean the same character can then get the treasure from the chests again?

Real Evidence
im new to nightfall and i found a chest in methani keys and it gave me a high req and not max gold avian axe
ShadowbaneX
It would be interesting if it is more than a coincidence. It would definately take a bite out of the Elonian arms/items market, drop the price on gems and people trying to sell gold items for wisdom titles. It would give a definate boost to new players, or those short on cash and items, and help eveyone trying to outfit all their heroes...if they could keep track of everything. I almost need to create a spreadsheet or a database to figure out what I have and what my heroes are using.
lennymon
If only these counted towards chest hunter
my last 5 chests were 4 Inspiration staves req 9-12 and a Channeling dead staff r9

So, this is only once per character right?
So, re-doing the runs involves creating new characters?

^ If you did the runs before with a character, they have since been reset. It remains to be seen if it was an accident, or not. Personally I think it has to do with the tweaking they did over the weekend, and it will continue as a one shot sort of deal.
Thallandor
been getting alot of high req crap for vendor trashing.
Shadowfox1125
Scrying Glass Staves, anyone? Got 2 from last time and 2 from this time..

Two trips through 12 chests with ten characters = 240 free chests. Average gold take (with merchant sales for crap items) is 25K per char per trip = 500K. 240 gold items or an occasional gem. High req items can be easily used on heroes, who should have the attribute points to use them. Many nice mods (several dozen max) salvaged to make a handful of low req perfect items.
Best strategy for getting chests fast:
First, learn where they all are:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Buried_Treasure
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Treasure_Chest
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Do_Not_Touch
Then cap Shadow Form on all your chars. Put 12 points in Shadow Arts, and use a +20% enchant, high energy staff. Equip Shadow Form, Recall, Feigned Neutrality, Deadly Paradox, Dash, Dark Escape on your char and on three heroes. Add Sprint, Signet of Stamina on your two War heroes (Set their posture to "Avoid Combat", so they don't attack anything). Put recall on a War, have him use Shadow Form and Sprint past a mob, then recall to him. Right before you recall (or after as situation warrants), use Shadow Form on yourself and keep running. The rest of the party will mostly live as they run through the mob, or have your other heroes recall also. Find a safe spot to regen and rez key party members as necessary, or leave a trail of dead ones and keep running if you can. You are the only one who needs to survive as you repeat this sequence all the way to the treasure. Average time to reach 12 chests for one char is ~45 mins - 60 mins. The whole idea is to completely avoid combat and RUN and RECALL all the way. Use rez shrines to advantage, or if alone after you get past the mobs in the Ruptured Heart (frequently the case), rezone to the Shattered Ravine and back to rez party for an easy run to a Wurm Spoor. In Wurms, just run and speed tunnel past foes til close to the treasure, then send the whole party to take aggro while you speed tunnel to the treasure.
Happy hunting!
