Open World Treasure Chests

Here are two ideas I've had that I think would be a great idea to spice up the treasure chests a little bit. Please add some more ideas if you feel like it.
1. The longer a chest remains locked the better the loot becomes. More gold, better quality weapons, maybe some raw materials/runes stashed inside.
2. Once a week, randomly generate one golden chest in each faction that is hidden. This would contain a gold item and a lot of gold. It would create a treasure hunt of sorts.

✭✭✭✭✭Heheh. Nice. This is similar to my idea about player created treasure chests.

In my idea that player would gamble their loot for the returns.
I really like the idea of the chests being randomly generated. Would maps be generated too?What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

Maps could work, sure. I think at a certain time the treasure hunt could be broadcasted across the faction, like a countdown or something, or maybe even a riddle with hints in it.0 -

The chest would have to be in a completely new location where no chest has ever been and it needs to be absurdly hard to find. No quests can lead to it, only a true adventurer should find it.
There should also be a title you receive once you find it. Which would make hunting competitive. The chest could be disguised as a regular old chest but once you click it, it transforms into a fancy chest.
Overall i think its a neat idea.

Too much...all that's needed is improved loot. No other changes
Just do something like add a min motif of 30% on all chests. All motif by zone or somethingEdited by NewBlacksmurf on June 12, 2016 1:17AM-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

The easiest way is to grab them out of the mail on an alt you don't care for, then delete the alt

✭✭✭✭✭The problem isn't really the chests themselves it's the fact that what's in them doesn't have demand.
With any given patch there are only a number of item sets worth having, generic loot is only worth it for breaking down for end game materials. They need to find a way to make all items have some level of worth again, which in a themepark MMO isn't going to happen.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

Yes, especially adding more XP towards getting CP. I normally get 1006 XP for each chest opened and go through hundreds of chests each time I'm online. So, the XP adds up quite a bit. That and the gold and loots you can sell to merchants. I'm a self-made millionaire on ESO. Lol! Also, the thieves troves offer good armor, weapon and gear set, now and then. I got my nightmother set from the troves.Edited by GreenhaloX on June 12, 2016 12:07PM0 -

We understand all of that but what's inside is the discussion. Many of us have maxed exp for chest related things unless it's a newer alt-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

Loot is too everyday now.
Nothing special in treasure chests to make them treasured. Right now its only for a few gold and deconning stuff.
Make it better PLEASE.0 -

A title would be cool too, maybe a color, or maybe even put a color unlock randomly in these chests.0 -
llSRRll✭✭✭A gold Item in every master chest would be nice. Scaling them would be nice Simple is green Item, Intermediate Blue, and so forth.0

I think you could put 1 and 2 together:
If a chest remains locked/untouched long enough it turns into a 'golden chest'.If you can be anything, be kind.0
