Notes

Anomaly:

Although most locations drop items in the same order, the chest in Frostgorge Sound drops in a different order. See drop rate.

• Based on the drop rate research, a Sunken Chest is currently worth … (TP buy price) and … (TP sell price).^Disclaimer

• Each Sunken Chest can only be opened once per repetition of the Master Diver achievement. To reopen one of the Sunken Chests, all other Sunken Chests also must be opened.
  • If attempting to open a chest that has been already opened in the current repeat of Master Diver, the message The chest is clasped shut with an ornate lock. is displayed.
• A player can't open the same chest 2 times in a row, if the Master Diver achievement is complete after opening, leave and renter the map to re-open the chest.
• Spawning too close to a chest might not set its state to lootable. By moving out of range and back it will reset the chest to the proper state. On completing the Master Diver a reload is still necessary.
• Chests spawned in Siren's Reef Fractal and Aquatic Ruins Fractal after defeating the boss can be opened by players that were not present when the boss was defeated, albeit only once per character.
  • Players who join the Siren's Reef Fractal after the boss has been defeated will take damage from piranhas, making it difficult to open the chests without an ally to heal/rez.
• Double-click on the keys to show the next (seemingly closest) chest.

• Players can copy and paste the following list of map locations to visit all chests in a row:
