Treasure

A treasure is a special type of chest found only in Elona. Every treasure contains some gold, and one gold or purple item or a gem (ruby, sapphire or diamond). The amount of gold and the quality of the item vary depending on the area where the treasure was found (from 500 for treasures on Istan to greater than 3 for treasures in the Realm of Torment) and whether the item received was a gem, a gold item or a purple item (purple item only receives about 2/3 the amount of gold). All together, a character can collect around 20,000 by opening all of the treasures available.

Unlike normal chests, treasures
 * Are always unlocked (no key required) but can only be opened once over a period of time.
 * According to ArenaNet the amount of time it takes for a chest to recharge is character dependent.
 * This is presumed to be one month, however some characters cannot reopen chests even after a month. The amount of time before characters can open chests might even vary from character to character, or it may be tied to a variable on that character, such as time played (Further testing needed).

There are three types of objects that are considered to be treasure:
 * Treasure Chest
 * Buried Treasure
 * Do not touch

"Do Not Touch" objects are guarded by monsters, and activating them will spawn an item, gold, and either Immolated Djinn or Ruby Djinn. Due to the often confined spaces, it is not a good idea for the whole party to stand together when the "Do Not Touch" objects are activated. Both varieties of Djinn are known to use either Savannah Heat or Searing Flames. The Djinn type and the elite skill used appear to be random.
