As far as I can tell (about 6 chests so far) these drop 1 blue item and 1 gemstone of area level User Freshberrysmoothie Blueberry Icon.jpg Fresh Berry Smoothie 14:35, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Combine the chest lists?[edit]

As the "basic" chests, grand chests and splendid chests now all drop Empyreal Fragments, would it be smart to combine the chest lists into one list that people could use?

I think it would be awesome with a combined list as most serious players will eventually need to farm Empyreal Fragments. Furthermore, I think the combined list should be made into a table for each zone with at least these fields:
Type of chest (Basic, Grand, Splendid, etc.).
Drops Empyreal Fragments or not (Y/N).
Name of event required as a link (empty if none).
Name of waypoint as a link.
Directions from Waypoint
If there's sufficient space, we could also add the zone name as a separate field and then make one giant table with numbered rows.
So as to make it trivial to use the resulting table when farming Empyreal Fragments.
Also, the directions should be tested and updated as some of them are very vague.
I'm trying to find some time to do this myself as I currently farm Empyreal Fragments on a daily basis.

No Empyreal Frag's[edit]

Splintered Coast bottom platform of the Krait tower at Wrathwave Depths point of interest, guarded by a Champion Krait Hypnoss - Today didn't receive any empyreal frag's from this chest. IIRC, last time i looted it, however I did. But either way... maybe it's a random chance for empyreal or I am mistaken and it just does not drop empyreal frags'.

Description not helpful[edit]

Under Kryta, Gendarran Fields, under the Vigil Keep. The description says to go to an opening in the cliff-side across from the gate. Across WHAT from the gate? Which direction? I was unable to find it using those directions. Can someone who knows where it is please elaborate in the text? Thanks! Daddicus (talk)

I updated it, not sure if it's completely clear. Here's an album showing the location, which might help you if you're unable to find it any case or if you can write up a better walkthrough. —Ventriloquist 07:57, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
That looks much better. I don't have a character there now, but I'll try to get one to check it out later today.
Thanks!!! Daddicus (talk)
Still needs some help. I can see the entrance now, but it's hard get to it. I tried dropping from the rocks to the entrance landing, but that doesn't work. I also tried going further to the south of the entrance on the lower rocks, but still can't reach.
I found I could make it if I walked backwards from the rock platform immediately above the entrance. Then, and as soon as I started dropping, walk forwards (in mid-air). Is that the correct way to hit it? If so, we need to add something like that, because it's not something a newer player is going to guess.
I also think we need to include a pic of it. That went a long way towards getting in, for me. Daddicus (talk)
Hm, it might be better to add further details to Vigil Keep, perhaps under notes, and then link to it from this page. The list of basic chests serves more as a semi-walkthrough-overview than an image-related guide. —Ventriloquist 20:05, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
That makes sense to me. Daddicus (talk)
I made an addition on the Keep's page. See if you like it. If so, one of us can link to it from here. Daddicus (talk)
Good job on the walkthrough, it's much more clearer now. I removed all of the info on here and added a link directly towards the walkthrough. —Ventriloquist 08:16, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
Perfect! Thanks!!! Daddicus (talk)

Maguuma Wastes Chests[edit]

Is it possible to include these? I know that there is one near the Eastwatch waypoint in Auric Basin on top of the vine, and 2 on the top floor of the Great Tree in Tangled Depths near the flax farm. I'm bad at wiki so if someone wants to update the front page maybe we can get some momentum going? (worth noting that the Maguuma Wastes chests have a chance to give rare reclaimed weapon skins).

Found 2 more in tangled depths. Opposite the Bloomthistle HP on a platform guarded by mordrem snipers and one up a series of updrafts near the wp by the dragon stand portal. BdP 146.199.130.194 22:09, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Unlisted Queensdale Chest[edit]

There's a chest in Queensdale in a cave north from Crossing Waypoint.

Kessex Hills & Bloodtide Coast chests[edit]

Does anyone know where chests in Kessex Hills or Bloodtide Coast are located?

Maps[edit]

As nice as the descriptions are, could we consider making maps for some of these places like we did for Auric Basin? Many of the maps don't have a lot, but a place llike Tangled Depths would be worth it. SarielV 20 x 20px 06:54, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

types[edit]

I'm seeing a few chests listed here that aren't just basic chests. I know I put a couple of them there myself when I wasn't so clear on the concept :) At any rate, I think a more useful listing would ignore whether the chest is just a chest, an ornate chest, a splendid chest, etc, and focus more on any chest not affiliated with a JP. Chest running isn't really a thing in this game, but if someone were to do it, I think a comprehensive list would be more useful.

Precursor[edit]

Even the basic chests can drop a precursor. I got Leaf of Kudzu along with the normal stuff. Separ (talk) 02:47, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
