Kommentar von lunamoonraker

New chest type introduced with patch 4.0.3. Does not need any unpicking skills to open. Typically contains upgraded loots over old i.e. a blue rare item appropriate to the zone level and coin. Unsure of respawn rate or how many can be up at one time.

I found one in Winterspring in the Ban' Thallow Barrow Den cave at 47.6, 40.9 which contained;

Bonesnapper & 16s 14c

I also saw it in the same cave but in a different location on the PTR.

So far I've found three of these chests, all in Winterspring.

Each one contained around 20 silver and a single blue BoE item. The three I've found so far are:
Girdle of Uther
Orb of Deception
Totem of the Storm

My theory is that the chests always contain one level-appropriate blue (based on the zone it's found in) and some level-appropriate coin.

Kommentar von Aisen

I found two of these questing in Sholazar Basin last night in different locations. In addition to one level-appropriate BOE and gold, each chest provided my 79 druid 51k experience for simply opening it. My leveling partner was off killing stuff and out of range. What I don't remember is if I got the experience for the looting, or the opening. Be interesting to find out if the XP could be received twice (one per person).

Drops: Petrified Ironwood Smasher and Girdle of Unerring Flight

Kommentar von Stovepipe

Found one of those at the Makers' Perch in Sholazar Basin. I dunno if we can consider it a consistent spot though.

Kommentar von Adysia

Very cool to see chests back in the world, especially in high level areas.

I found one in Giants' Run in Howling Fjord today, it contained some silver, and a blue item. Nice!

Kommentar von 745887

Found one in Owl Wing Thicket in Winterspring containing:

27 Silver, 54 Copper
Sapphiron's Scale Boots
Also, didn't get any EXP as i was level 85.

Kommentar von Alfador

I found one right on the spot where Jadefang spawns. Perhaps these are a potential spawn in place of rare mobs? If so, I have more waiting ahead of me. T_T

Kommentar von 750932

i got: Ravenheart Longbow
Rabenherzlangbogen

in Twilight Highlands

Kommentar von suprphrk

Found one in Deepholm today. Had Toraelian Spaulders inside, don't remember how much gold, and gave about 9k XP at lvl 84.

Replaced with http://www.wowhead.com/object=207496#comments in parts of Zones occupied Primarily by Dark Iron Dwarves, which serves the same purpose. Also replaced with http://www.wowhead.com/object=207512#comments in more desolate zones.

Kommentar von Ringkeeper

can everybody see them on minimap? Just wondering because my dwarfs see them on minimap^^

Kommentar von Hijou

Found one in Howling fjord at the bottom of whisper gulch (for some reason the wowhead tool don't want to put the location up there) contained Captain Carver's Persuader, 80 silver and 44k exp at level 72.

Kommentar von Synaxis

Found one in a gnoll camp in Redridge Mountains. Was so excited - yay! A blue I can send to the auction house! Opened it up, and..

Gleaming Claymore of the Bear.

A green.

Kommentar von icer2131

i found 1 in the building that the objective of the quest "Mangletooth"it dropped a blue called combatant claymore.

Kommentar von Savil

All starting zones and zones ranging from level 1-20 will still have normal treasure chests containing a few copper, minor trade skill items and BoE greens. All instances will also have the original bound/unbound chests as well with the normal loot. The new 4.0.3 lootable chests, (ie., Sturdy Treasure Chest, Silver Bound Treasure Chest, Silken Treasure Chest ect.) are located in all zones levels 20-85 that have non-PvP NPC encampments, (don't be stupid and confuse Ogrimar/Stormwind as one of these encampments) and it will contain a small sum of silver, 1 zone specific level BoE rare item and very rarily a BoE green along with it (I've only seen it once.) The Dwarf racial ability "Tresure Finder" has been removed and replaced with "Explorer," so dwarves can no longer see treasure chests popup on their minimaps. I've noticed that I've only found these chests in these humanoid encampments, and the spawn times and locations are completely random, but I have found on several occasions that they always show up in relatively the same kind of areas each time. For example, You may find one under a tent in Silithus, and the next time you come across one it will be under a tent in a completely different camp in the same zone. This will start to make sence as you start finding more and more of them. Anyways, good luck and happy hunting.

Kommentar von 331201

Not sure about spawn timers on them but the locations are fixed and not random. If you find one lets say in durnholde in hillsbrad you'll find one there agian in the same spot

Kommentar von 770310

If only they changed rare mob spawns to drop blue items every time.

I confirm that most chests are in humanoid camps/caves. i am unsure about undead but I assume they have chests too. Also unsure about demon camps/caves.

Update: found one in gorilla cave in un'goro crater (Fungal Rock)

Kommentar von 301790

Just found my first one in Winterspring and it contained Orb of Deception :) so happy now :D

Kommentar von 53109

Found one in Hillsbrad Foothills to the right of Lo'Grosh. Contained approx. 5 Silver, 500XP and a Ring of Defense.

Kommentar von Species3259

Surprised that nobody mentioned so far that these chests, farmed in Northrend, are an excellent way to make good money.

Its all about the Book of Glyph Mastery

Since Northrend is mostly used for leveling, these books are quite difficult to obtain now.
-- it's a world drop so farming for it is no option.
-- on the AH they go for 1K+

You might think that 1.6% drop rate is not good but these figures are out-dated since Cata. Blizzard upped the chance of drop considerably.

I farm these for my alchemist and so far (1 week now) i get 1-2 drops for every 5 chests average.

Kommentar von 181166

I came across one of these chests as I was doing the 'Seal The Way' quest in Deepholm. I found it by the steps to the Barracks building (the building you seal 'directly' facing Crag Rockcrusher). It contained approximately 35g and also contained a Versiegelnder Herzstab. My character on looting was level 82, I unfortunately didn't get to check the exp gain as my combat log was quickly filled with NPC combat.

I've come across a second one of these chests in the Twilight Highlands. I found it in a cellar at the south-west hovel in the Dunwald Ruins. I looted a Knochenverzierter Sarkophagschlüssel.

Kommentar von bogmore

Found two in northern Dustwallow marsh in the cart wreck near where dart runs around, I was farming for the hatchling when I found it. There is also one in the feral yeti cave in northern feralas and in the ogre ruins near grom gol

Kommentar von 822552

I found one of the sturdy treasure chests in Howling Fjord (one of the locations on the map) and it gave me Leggings of Icy Touch and at Level 81 I got 19k exp (which I'm assuming may be increased from guild perks).

I love the fact that there are treasure chests in these areas. It makes questing so much better in my opinion.

Kommentar von Micia

This chest seems to give experience equal to the quests in the zone and loot appropriate to the level-range of the zone it is in. It also appears to be affected by both rested, heirloom and guild perk increases.

I looted a chest at 71 in Borean Tundra and received ~27k exp. This is the same as a regular quest with heirlooms and guild perks. A few days later I relogged my alt and found the same chest. This time around, I received ~54k exp, which is rested (double) exp.

I love these things! Especially considering there are very few people who are still questing in these zones, giving you a much greater chance of finding one. <3

Kommentar von 834958

The respawn time is under 8 hours. It's hard to tell how much but I've cleaned them out of Northrend and found some under 8 hours later. Maybe each spot has a respawn time much longer but after waiting about 8 hours, enough of them have respawned so that it's worthwhile to cruise around and loot them.

Kommentar von 534766

Just came across one in the Ice Thistle Hills of Winterspring and as a 53 tauren paladin with 10% xp gain increase from the guild's rank 2 Fast Track, I've gotten 8360 xp out of it and a Lord Alexander's Battle Axe. As well as an Aquamarine and 35 silver 33 copper.

Kommentar von Superman360

I was in the "Ruins of Zul'Kunda" in Northern Stranglethorn, found this chest, and thought cool, free stuff. To my surprise I leveled to 30. I got ~2500 exp for opening the chest. I also got a couple silver and Schwarze Samtroben. Cool addition Blizz, I thought this was one of those chests that contain a few bronze, food, and a possibly a green, but it was quite helpful.

Kommentar von muTexShaDoWzZ

Just found one of these in Frostgrip's Hollow, Storm Peaks. Got 24s 68c and Design: Destructive Skyflare Diamond

Kommentar von thranlynn

One just literally spawned right next to me in Stormpeaks as I was working on Minenräumer and I got Knorrige Schaufelhornschiftung.

Kommentar von Whoisthiscook

I found Ashes of Youth (not listed in the Contains -section)(sorry, dunno how to link stuff)

Kommentar von Niex

This May be blatantly obvious however the loot in the chest reflects the area you are in.
i.e. Finding Zelotenklinge in the Chest in Feralas
or Rabenherzlangbogen in a Chest in Twilight Highlands

Kommentar von 622758

Just opened one as an unrested lvl 50 and received a wee bit over 7% (8840XP) of the total XP (121k) needed to hit level 51.

The chest was located in Winterspring and the blue drop was Täuschungskugel.

Kommentar von Axemeister

My level 75 miner just found one in Wyrm's Bend (Twilight Highlands). Gave over 35k XP, 1G 28S 39C, and Kamelbalgtreter.

Kommentar von DanJack

These treasure chests always drop a blue item so if you see one don't leave it for someone else to take. You will get something nice to use or sell!

Kommentar von 974852

Found one in Owl Wing Thicket. Contained Täuschungskugel but I was 85 so no xp for me either. But I love my new orb!

Kommentar von Balkoth

I opened one of these chests in Storm Peaks a few hours ago.
The Book of Glyph Mastery within made me about a 1000g richer.

Do not pass these chests by if you see them.

Sturdy Treasure Chest, Redridge 12 jun 2012 10:43am carbonite 20.2, 21,5 not on this map, will d/l looter thing soon

Kommentar von JoeJitsu

I've been farming these in Hillsbrad Foothills for my F2P accounts for quite some time now but have never found one at either (28.6,42.9) or (38.0,56.3) or in either of the 2 mine locations. I'm currently unable to find the chest at any of the mapped locations and I'm stumped.

Anyone have an update for Hillsbrad?

Kommentar von togahsisoka

Wetlands is a ghost town these days, as I'm cutting through for my Arch grind, I'll check spawn points for this, Dark Iron Treasure Chests and all the rare elites in the zone. If I leave it alone for a day or so I can get 4 chests in one pass of the zone. Most of the time you get a good amount of level 17-19 greens and blues that sell *very* well on AH. I've had 3 Feet of the Lynx and a couple of Keller's Girdles among other things. You will get some level 20 stuff but even that will sell for something...

Kommentar von togahsisoka

Two more spawnpoints found in Wetlands;
1) the shallow cave above Whelgars dig, right in the mouth of the cave.
2) on the road between Twilight Highlands and Greenwarden's, there are two spawn points in the dragonmaw section of the road, one more in the dragon section. Map only shows 2. Just look carefully in all the caravan debris.

Kommentar von TheRealLink

Found one to the west of Eastwall tower in EPL in the rubble of one the homes along the river.

Kommentar von Seegtease

So, you've found a treasure chest, and you want to know what's up?

Well, this may be old news, but after extensive personal research, I have some information on these chests, including the different types, the rewards, and tips if you wish to hunt them further.

Some of you may recall treasure chests that existed back in Vanilla (and through the Lich King, though no chests were added to northrend until later). They typically were full of garbage, maybe a gem, maybe a green, but usually food and an earthroot or something. Those don't exist anymore (aside from in the vanilla dungeons that have yet to be revamped). Now, once the Cataclysm hit, we have new chests, rarer, and with better rewards than ever before!

They exist in essentially every zone, and currently they have 6 different types:

How do I find them?

Currently, all of them are being tracked with the addon Gathermate2, but the Gathermate2_data doesn't seem to include the Dark Iron or Maplewood chests, though it'll still mark it on your map if you find them. I'm sure they'll be added soon. If you plan on doing any serious treasure hunting, I highly advise this addon.

You might remember chests in the past being vastly oversized and cartoony. They were easy to spot. Now, not so much. Some of them (especially the Runestone) blend into the surroundings like any other decorative box. Without a trained eye, you may not notice them. You'll need to move your cursor around and check very carefully. There is almost always an enemy near them. In many cases, rares love to hang out near chest spawn areas, which can net you even more loot!

Much like mines and herbs, treasures also seem to spawn in node clusters. That is, it might have 2-4 spawn locations in a small area, and it will only spawn at one of them at a given time. However, this is tricky, as it's hard to tell where the node cluster ends and a new one begins. For example, in Zangarmarsh, one would think every Naga "village" would be one cluster, but I've found 2 chests at a single village before. Your best bet is to check every spawn location until you're relatively sure it's part of the same node. If multiple nodes exist in a cave (chests love to be in caves), they're probably the same node cluster.

For respawn rate, I don't have any solid numbers, but I know I've never seen a chest spawn in the same locations less than 18 hours since I looted it last, but I'm more inclined to think they have a 24 hour respawn time. Most chests tend to be in the path of many leveling players, so it's quite possible that other people will find them before you. Just keep looking. Which brings me to this topic...

Why should I hunt these things?

If you're anything like me, you might actually enjoy the hunt, the excitement of finding a chest, find it a relaxing change of pace from the rest of this game and need no further incentives. However, if that's not enough for you, worry not, there are very good reasons to look for them.

Here's the big one: They give experience now! So even while you're out questing, you should check nearby spots for a quick, tasty lump of experience. They seem to give approximately 2x the amount of XP that a normal quest in that zone gives you. And naturally, if you outlevel the zone, you'll get reduced XP. Also, like mining/herbalism, higher level ones DO cap off on how much XP they can give you, so don't get any bright ideas about gaining 10 levels with a single chest from max level zones.

But wait, there's more: The contents! Of course, we can't forget the very reason chests exist to begin with! Well, unlike Vanilla chests, these always have decent loot. That is, you are guaranteed to get a Rare (blue) quality item in each chest, the level being relevant to the level of the zone that you found it. So far, I've never seen a purple. There are a few exceptions: sometimes in Northrend you will find a Book of Glyph mastery, which is green, but those are currently more valuable than most blues anyway. The general rule, however, is that you'll find a blue in each one. While this may not seem too spectacular, remember that many blues have unique skins and may still be valued for transmog purposes.

Chest hunting is by no means the best way to make money, and it's not the best way to get experience, but it's darn fun. And even if it's not your thing, I would highly recommend taking a look around you every now and again when you're our in the world to see if a chest is nearby. You might find something you want inside.

Happy hunting!

hey guys i have a question.Is there is any Macros to make spotting these chests easiers?

Kommentar von JoeJitsu

Hillsbrad Chests - I haven't tried farming these for quite some time, but I do know all the former spawn points. Recently tried to farm for MM but cannot, for the life of me, locate the chest wherever it currently resides. Does anyone have an update as to a possible new spawn location? Thanks.

Update: Answering my own question, another Hillsbrad Chest at (49,32). How does this map get updated?

Kommentar von Zorasf

I found a chest in Desolace that wasn't marked on the map. Coordinates are 75.60, 76.45

Kommentar von KitaraSkylark

Found one on Moon Guard in Dead Wind Pass near the Orges( Lvl 55-57 mobs) at about 3am cst. Cords are 59.32, 68.10. The chest had a Demonslayer in it.

Kommentar von di3di3di3

Since CRZ was implemented finding any rare chest is actually VERY rare.
So if you are sick&tired of the situation I suggest you visit these two threads that are asking for counter-measures in regards to a huge CRZ realm population pool accessing areas designed for one single realm.

Guys, for those leveling in the 1-60 range, these objects, when opened (most don't need lockpicking skills), might give around 2x experience a quest on your level would give. And with the changes in leveling in patch 7.3.5 I'd recommend you to use the addon gathermate 2 (or similar, maybe handy notes) to keep track of them on the map you're questing.
I noticed this while I was doing a quest in Desolace, on my lvl 38 druid, and I got around 20k XP from opening one of these, while most quests were giving 5-9k in the current level (Above). Well, what if I decided to do treasure hunt, with the addon installed, instead of just doing quests? D:
Leveling suddenly wouldn't feel like a pain in the ass anymore, and since Blizz made some changes to leveling from 40+ , reducing the overall XP needed, hell ya.
