Can we please have actual treasure?

Has anyone taken the Champion Point perk that grants you better quality items out of chests? I wonder how well this works. I took the find more gold perk and I guess I get more out of chests.

Treasure Hunter in Thief. Does unlocking it help?

Not really.

Been experimenting with this for the last week.

You will get "better" items from the chests, yes, but that means a simple chest can give you a couple blues or more chance for a malachite shard or soul gem. Have received more set pieces and usually the set piece comes with another blue or more in higher up chests.

The rate of maps is not increased at all (which was what I was looking for) from testing a couple hundred assorted chests in Wrothgar, but it says "Quality" in the constellation tip, so who knows if that includes maps.

Unless you really want to be in that tree for it's main benefits, recommend a pass at this time.

Great post OP!!! Love this idea.

There are WAY to many chests especially in Wrothgar and as mentioned before it is crap loot.
When you find an advanced or master chest and it contains crap loot why does it even have that title?

There should be a reward threshold for these rarer chests!? I mean who designed this? Someone who was pissed they didn't get the Christmas gifts they wanted when they were a kid???????

The whole reward system in Craglorn for example is just a gigantic pile of poo.
Green items for running around talking and killing people for 1 hr, then turning it in to a blob octopus!
Geez come on!

Hell in group dungeons hardly anyone looks for chests since they know it is usually/99% crap. Then they take the time to hide it under a bridge or under a spider web and it is still crap..

Someone needs to be appointed loot master developer and fix all the reward/rng in the game and take about 80% of the chests out there off the game maps and actually put something worth breaking your lock pick over back in....

Mindboggling some of the choices...

I have never seen anything above a blue in a chest, unless you count those new shards for glass armor.. Which I don't.

I kind of wish we had traps similar to what we had in Morrowind. You know when you mess with the offerings at Daedric shrines and you get attack by daedra. Something similar to the trap chest in Imperial City. In the sewers where the hordes of enemies are poping out of the portal. This would be cool for some of the treasure chests out in the world. It would kind of give you a dangerous journey feel but of course the chest has to have good loot so it would be worth the danger.

Leveled loot would also be nice.

Indeed. (There is also a random encounter chest that spawns daedra in coldharbour as I recall, though those are more like an "easy kill" experience.)
But trapped chests would add some spice to the treasure hunting! Chests that explode upon opening. Chests that spew poison gas upon opening. Chests that are just there as trap for enemies to pounce.
It'd be neat if you could never know if that chest you see there was a trap, or something worth opening. I would very much prefer if they gave random treasure chests a 50% chance of being a trap of some sort, and in turn increase the loot in the remaining to always have something nifty instead of "meh, just another green/blue decon bait"...

I find it funny that someone decided to bury a treasure of 5 gold and a pair of gloves when the chest itself is probably worth at least 10x more.

Wouldn't it be awesome if treasure chests were RARE and contained treasure? Imagine that.

willymchilybily

treasure in treasure chests you say....

BlackEar

This is a great idea ! I support it

It would be cool to find some vendor-trash og high value in treasure chests. This adds fun to treasure seeking and is not detrimental to the overall game.

Related: Treasure maps give loot based on the level of the zone. It should be scaled to character. I hope this will be implemented with the removal of veteran ranks.

I love the idea of loot that serves no purpose other than to sell or wear. Flashy, fun, sparkly TREASURE!!!

Which is a more exciting find?

This?

Or THIS?!?!?!

So yea... I totally agree.

When they added safe boxes with all the cool cultural items in Updated 6, it was so exciting to see all of the cool items even though they are suppose to be for selling. Some of the items I have launder and kept because it was just felt right to keep.

Will be awesome when you can get a home to display those things in... we better get to do that!

Those erotic etchings...

I know what you want...

NewBlacksmurf

Can anyone even explain why these are still in the game. Chest from dungeons were drastically nerfed and limited and now the other chests literally are pointless.

Treasure chests and regular chests.....and the maps WTH

Molag_Crow

Agreed... I miss actual treasure too. A lot of the times I don't even bother opening treasure chests because I know there won't exactly be treasure in them.

Shadesofkin

Randomly generated quests similar to treasure maps should be lootable from world chests. These map/quests would have a hint towards what was happening and the player would need to find which delve the quest led to, slay the boss and gain access to the special treasure chest that would drop.

This would breathe life into already completed delves while also giving us more to do.

Darkonflare15

So this got me wondering are we actually going to go treasure hunter for treasure in this next update.

Alagras

totally support this idea.

of course they can t make all chests valuable, but for instance certain rare treasure maps could drop from some bosses in dungeons, maybe also scrolls or books starting a quest leading to a treasure

Pangnirtung

There is NO treasure in the chests.

ZOS still doesn't get it.

What is so difficult about having a 1 in 4000 chance to get a piece of truly uber armor or weapon that is BOP?

As it is treasure chests are only for selling gems, getting small amounts of gold and deconstructing for mats.

Hardly a treasure.

I just really wish chest contents leveled with your character. We know they can do this. Being over-leveled has always been a problem, but now thanks to their new catch-up system everything you get in a chest is like 5-10 levels below you. It really sucks when you find a nice piece of jewelry but you can't use it because your're over-leveled.

Even if you have the CP's into the treasure hunter perk you don't really get better gear. Instead of getting white and green items you get the same under-leveled trash only it's blue and only worth a couple coins more.

Palidon

The Treasure Chest right now are a joke. You have several levels of chests, Simple, Intermediate, Advanced and Master. Each one gives the same crap. There is no difference in the chests content. The only items ever worth anything in the chests are the soul gems or the glyphs that some will contain. You also have a chance of getting a Glass Armor crafting mat. However, you would think by finding and opening a Master Level chest it would at least contain a high amount of gold and a rare hard to get armor or weapon.

Saltypretzels

In a forum where no one can agree on anything, it seems that we all agree that loot, generally speaking, sucks in this game. This is certainly very interesting and it is high time that the devs paid attention, eh?

@Gidorick That is a classy looking chicken!!

And that's not something I say to many people.

The chests are really there to learn how to pick locks.The more the merrier I say.I know there isnt a lot of great stuff in them.I wish there were.But I love finding them and opening them.
Kinda like dangling a shiny in front of a Crow

Learning how to pick locks and XP. It is an easy way to pick up XP without grinding mobs. People out looking for mats don't want to engage in combat because it can take a minute or so before you can get back to farming. The most valuable thing in that chest is the XP, which is sad to an extent.

Don't forget that this is the game that made precious gems effectively worthless. I would have piles of diamonds and rubies if I kept them. Worms are worth more than diamonds.
