Opening Nightfall treasure yields both a single item and some gold. The item will be either a gem (diamond, ruby or sapphire), weapon or salvage item (of purple or gold rarity). As with other loot, the values increase as you progress through the game. The cash values increase by about 500 with each successive region, from about 500 in Istan to 3,000 in the Realm of Torment. A player might expect to receive 19 if they open every treasure. (However, the factors influencing the values are not fully understood; see Notes for more information.)

[edit] Notes

• Treasures are always unlocked. Neither keys nor lockpicks are required.
• Treasure labeled, Do Not Touch is guarded by either several Immolated Djinn or Ruby Djinn. Spread your party out before opening to avoid their dangerous AoE skills.
• The factors governing the value of the treasure are not fully understood. Other players have documented the following behavior:
  • Each character appears to be able to receive loot only once during a certain period, believed to be around 30 days per treasure. Opening the chest too soon means that there will be no treasure. Worse, some evidence exists suggesting that opening treasure more often resets this waiting period. The optimum time is probably between 30–60 days.
  • Cash values appear to be linked to the rarity of items found: purple items are found with about 0.25 ⅔ the cash of that found with gold items.
  • Hard Mode does not appear to affect the values.
  • The amount of cash seems to decrease each time an individual treasure is revealed, dropping to as low as 100 in Istan and 700 in the Realm of Torment.
