For the record - Treasure Hunter passive - it's meaningless for group members in a trial.

Seriously ... EVERY pick up group I'm in this seems to need an explanation.
Treasure Hunter applies ONLY to the player that has the passive when the loot is dynamic and shared - i/e a chest opened in a trial where everyone gets their own loot.
Treasure Hunter CAN apply to other players when the chest being opened has static loot obtained by only one player - i/e an overland chest that disappears after one player looted it.
A treasure hunter may unlock the chest, which spawns potentially better loot, and another player may then loot the buffed contents.
But in dungeons / trials / etc ... where chests have a an open loot table for everyone to get, you do not need a person with treasure hunter passive to open everything.
As far as I'm concerned there is no ambiguity here ... it's a passive that applies an individual "potential" buff - that's it. Simple.

This was answered in the OP. I haven't tested it myself to confirm, but this is what the OP is saying: in dungeons, Treasure Hunter applies to the loot that a person with the Treasure Hunter passive gets, period. It doesn't matter if someone else opens the chest: people without the passive will get default quality loot, and people with the passive will get boosted quality loot, regardless of who opens the chest. In addition, the passive never boosts the quality of the loot that someone else in the group gets.7-day PVP campaign regular 2016-2019, Flawless Conqueror. MagDK/stamplar/stamwarden/mageblade.

Makes no difference for instanced containers like loot chests in trials.
The loot is instanced to YOU, your loot is NOT affected by who first opened that chest.
YOU must have the Treasure Hunter perk to get better loot.

Nutshotz✭✭✭✭@casparian
OK than here is a question for you. I've opened chest with out the passive from simple to advance in trials and seen the whole group get greens
Than you have a player who has the passive open it on a simple thru advance and everyone gets blues.
Very rarely do I see someone not get an upgraded quality from a chest when someone opens it with the passive vs someone who opens it without the passive.
That's why I was curious. Is it a fluke, RNG based, and so forth0 -
alexkdd99✭✭✭✭✭
✭As far as whether the passive applies to all when someone who has the passives open it, I am unsure. But I know it hurts NOTHING to allow the person with the passive to open it while allowing the possibility that it might increase the chance for a set item.
So I see it as why not go with it if there is NO negative and only the chance for positive.
Maybe it is just continuous coincidences but every time I open a simple chest without the passive it never contains a set item. Whenever someone in my group with the passive opens a simple chest it almost always contains a set item.
So without acknowledgement from zos or concrete proof, I will continue allowing people with the passive to open the chest.
Also it was stated in some patch notes a while back that the passive not only increases the quality but also the chance for the chest to contain a set item.
As we all should know by now the tool tips are not always completely accurate.0 -

✭Some people are confused about Treasure Hunter. Let me break it down on what is does EXACTLY:
Simple Chest:
Very slim chance for set item
===========
Intermediate Chest:
Good chance of set item.
===========
Advanced Chest:
Guaranteed set item in BLUE Quality.
===========
Master Chest:
Guaranteed set item in PURPLE Quality.
=================================
WITH Treasure Hunter Passive:
=================================
Simple Chests become Intermediate Chests. This means Simple Chests have a HIGH chance for dropping set item.
Intermediate Chests become Advanced Chests. This means Intermediate Chests ALWAYS give a set item.
Advanced Chests become Master Chests. This means Advanced Chests ALWAYS give a set item IN PURPLE.
Master Chests give x2 Loot, 1 purple 1 blue/green UNLESS one gets a Malachite Shard or a Painting.Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter.

Correct - which is why it's very easily testable and there remains no ambiguity.
Go have a treasure hunter passive person open an intermediate chest in a trial - if EVERY person in the trial who loots it does not get a set item - then, put simply - the passive is meaningless unless you personally have it.
side note: I have done this - I have had on multiple occasions a person with the passive insist on opening the chests and on intermediate chests, have not gotten a set item from it. If you do personally get a set item it's just RNG.
The passive is a personal buff - not a group buff.
TBQH the only ambiguity in my mind is whether the passive applies at all on chests in trials or if it's just an overland / dungeon buff. But I know for sure it never applies the buff to group mates.PS4 [NA]

If its a chest you unlock, it applies no matter where it is. If the chest has the name Treasure in it, it applies. The Loot tables are keyed to the zone you are in and the drops for that zone. Which is why you get dungeon gear in chests in dungeons, and trials gear in chests in trials, they are a zone.
Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Correct on last part. It applies to Trial Chests. I've done over 1k mol runs since february or so, and it works.

I've also heard that you have better chances at alloys if you refine when the sun is rising in the game. See, there was this time when I got 6 alloys out of 400 ore. Anecdotal evidence is the best evidence, after all.
And, if it doesn't actually work, it doesn't hurt me or anyone else to only refine during that time. I mean, it's just a minor inconvenience...

It additionally increases the chance of receiving an extra item. So you might get one set item in places where you'd get none, and you might get two items instead of one. Quality is irrelevant since the quality will never be legendary and cost to upgrade to purple is trivial.

Treasure maps are worthless though ... I destroy them as soon as they find their miserable way into my inventory.
With the passive a treasure map chest will just give you a purple ruby ash staff of deconstruction fodder, instead of a blue one.
Dolmen chests will have a higher likelihood of purple jewelry items with the passive than without. Though still not guaranteed as I know all too well from my old elegant ring farming days.PS4 [NA]
