Acquisition

 * Opening chests: You add one point to the title for each high-end chest opened by any character on your account. A chest is considered "high-end" if the key required to open it costs or more; Locked Chests count for this title and can be found anywhere in Hard mode and throughout the Eye of the North.
 * Finding Golden Eggs: During the Sweet Treat Weekend, you earn one point towards the title for each Golden Egg that any of your characters pick up while it is still assigned to them.

Costs analysis
The cheapest1 way to obtain the title is to use discounted lockpicks alone to open eligible chests with the highest retention rate, i.e. Shiverpeak, Kurzick, or Luxon. Maximizing the title through this method costs2 approximately:
 * , if purchasing lockpicks from other players at the standard trade rate of each.
 * , if purchasing picks from Discount Merchants for each.


 * 1 You can save even more by first maximizing the Lucky title, but that cancels the synergy with the Lucky/Unlucky titles.
 * 2 These costs will be reduced significantly by selling chest drops to merchants and even more so by selling valued upgrades or items to other players.

Farms

 * Farming Golden Eggs during Sweet Treat Weekends is an efficient method of gaining points.

Trivia

 * Treasure Hunter stopped counting towards earning the Favor of the Gods from 13 November 2008 (when the title became account-wide) until 11 June 2009.
