The treasure that can be obtained in Nightfall explorable areas contain both an amount of gold and one item. The amount of gold received (not dropped) depends on the region of the explorable area (the later regions yield significantly more gold). The item dropped from each treasure will either be a weapon (purple or gold) or a gem (diamond, ruby or sapphire). Normally, treasure in Istan yields about 500. Each successive region increases the amount of gold obtained by 500 to 1, ending with about 3 per treasure in the Realm of Torment. Opening all the treasure generally yields about 20 per character. It needs to be noted that this amount is influenced by factors that are not yet fully understood (see the notes below for more information).

[edit] Notes

• Treasure are always unlocked. Neither keys nor lockpicks are required.
• The "Do Not Touch" treasures are dangerous in that they are guarded by either several Immolated Djinn or Ruby Djinn, using Savannah Heat and Searing Flames respectively. These are highly damaging area of effect spells that can easily wipe out a party standing too close together. Spread out your party members before opening these treasure.
• Nightfall treasure are constrained by rules that are not yet fully understood.:
  • Each character can open all of the treasure only once within a certain period of time. Once all have been opened, a certain period of time must pass before the treasure refills. The exact mechanics or factors that govern the waiting period is not known, but it is generally believed the time between attempts is 30 days per chest per character.
  • The recommended waiting period is about 1 to 2 months for each character. There have been claims that if a character attempts to open a treasure before the waiting period is over, the waiting period will reset. It is believed that if you attempt to open treasure daily with one character, that character will never obtain anything apart from the initial attempt.
  • If the treasure yields a purple item instead of a gold item, the gold amount is observed to be less than 0.25 ⅔ of the normal gold amount. The minimum observed for Istani treasure is around 100 while those in the Realm of Torment appears to have a minimum of about 750. This reduction in gold appears to be governed by the total number of times a character has opened treasure. The more treasure one character opens, the lesser the value of a particular treasure, regardless of how long that character waits before opening again. Use of Hard Mode does not appear to change the amounts of gold at any given area in Nightfall.
