Notes[edit]

  • When used outside of the Crystal Desert, the message "Item can only be used in the Crystal Desert." will appear in chat.
  • Scan (Treasure Hunting Kit).png Scan will mark an area on your map with a blue circle. The chest is located in, or close to the border of that area. Upon using the special action skill you will see a colored orb moving in the direction of the chest. Red = far, Yellow = closer, Green = very close.
  • Every 2 hours, on the odd UTC hour, during the 20 minutes long " The Search for Buried Treasure " event in Desert Highlands these kits lead to Superior Buried Treasure.
  • You can reset the location the kit gives you by logging out to the character selection screen, then logging back again. This is useful during the 20 minutes event when the kit would make you waste time by navigating an area full of enemies.
  • If you try to open a buried treasure that was located by someone else, it will work, if you have a kit yourself. However, it will expend one of your Kits.
  • The special skill is on a timer. It will disappear if not used within a certain amount of time.
