Does Treasure Hunter work well?

I'm 222CP and one away from being able to respec 75CP for Treasure Hunter to farm. I was wondering if you are guaranteed purple loot drops from zones/overland or if it simply improves chances?

✭You are not guaranteed purple drops.
It's a very subtle increase in the chance to get better quality gear, so you often won't notice any difference.Edited by Jim_Pipp on November 17, 2016 8:54AM#1 tip (Re)check your graphics settings periodically - especially resolution.5

✭✭✭✭It increases the chances of getting better quality loot, for example getting purple instead of blue, but not by much. In no way does it guarantee anything, the same way plentiful harvest doesn't guarantee double harvest in each node.Beta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

✭✭Treasure Hunter's best benefit is giving you the chance to get items from lower quality chests.1 -

✭✭✭✭Treasure Hunter does not work at all on anchor chests. I tested this during festival.
100 anchor chests without TH passive- 60 green jewelry
- 34 blue jewelry
- 6 purple jewelry
100 anchor chests with TH passive- 57 green jewelry
- 36 blue jewelry
- 7 purple jewelry
So, the difference is so minor that it hurts.
On regular overworld chests, I noticed a significant set item drop increase in simple chests. Almost every 2nd simple chest I opened had a set piece inside when I used TH passive.2
