I unlocked the treasure hunter perk for dolmen farming in bangkorai and i keep getting green jewelry from the chests, so how does this perk even work?
Does it have like a hidden 10% chance to increase the item quality or what?
Im pretty sure that the jewelry in the new sets dont drop in white.

    As far as I know dolmen chests are not affected by the passive, just the normal chests you find in open world or dungeons.

    As far as I understand, It only works on locked treasure chests and hidden chests from treasure maps.

    In this Hallowjack event, I've gotten the Anchor Destroyer achievement (250 dolmens destroyed) on 4 separate toons...that's 1,000 verified dolmens. I got 3 toons to 50 and farmed over 50 CP (maybe another 200 dolmens). After downing over 1,200 dolmens last week, I can state that far more green jewelry drops than blue or purple. But the purple does drop...and I don't have the Treasure Hunter perk.

    Just keep farming the dolmens - I have multiple sets of health, magicka, and stamina jewelry sets (necklace and 2 rings) all in purple. I'm just giving them away. I probably have at least 5 sets of each. Maybe 1 purple per every 20-30 dolmens.

    Probably it's something like a X chance of getting the higher quality item instead of what you would get. Green and blue are most common. Let's say P is the probability of getting green, Q is the probability of getting blue and R is the probability of getting purple. P>Q>R, P+Q+R=1, since a jewel is guaranteed from a dolmen chest. The even would first generate a jewel of a quality consistent with the base curve, then RNG based on the passive if it's to be improved.

    So with the passive the probabilities should look something like: R'=R+X*Q, Q'=Q+X*P, P'=1-Q'-R'. In practice you would get slightly less green and slightly more blue and purple items. I don't know if the RNG is invoked twice but if it does it's a it would be something like: R'=R+X*(Q+X*P).

    Taking P=0.80 Q=0.15 R=0.05 and X=0.1
    it would lead to a new distribution:
    R'=0.05+0.1*(0.15+0.1*0.85)=0.0735
    Q'=0.15+0.1*0.85=0.2350
    P'=1-0.0735-0.2350=0.06915

    So the perk does no affect the dolmen chest? Okay seems logical as the perk says "find better quality items from chests".
    Yeah but thanks for your answers guys, i'll continue to farm those purple spriggan jewelry.
    Also need those daggers but good luck getting those.

    It appaears to be broken, from the patch notes:



    Treasure Chests
    -Treasure Chests gained from defeating a Dark Anchor have a 100% chance to drop a ring or amulet set piece form the zone they are located in.
    The above is also true of Unstable Anomalies found in Craglorn.
    -Treasure chests found in the world have a chance to grant any set piece that can drop in that zone.
    ---Simple chests have a slight chance of dropping an item set piece.
    ---Intermediate chests have a good chance of dropping an item set piece
    ---Advanced and Master chests have a guaranteed chance of dropping an item set piece.

    -If you have the Treasure Hunter Champion Passive, both the above chances and quality of an item will be improved.

    I just wish it provided a chance for gold jewelry in master chests.
