Treasure Hunter

is a title that you can display for prestige.

It is awarded per character for opening locked "high-end" chests. During the weekend of April 6-8 2007 and March 21-23 2008, if a Golden Egg dropped for your character, that character would receive one point on this track.

Benefits

 * For each rank of the Treasure Hunter as well as the Wisdom title track earned, the chance of an item not being destroyed when salvaging a magical upgrade component is increased by 3 percent from a base of 50 percent. The bonuses from both titles do stack.
 * For each rank of the Treasure Hunter track earned, the chance of a lockpick not being destroyed when opening a chest is increased by 3 percent from a base of 10 percent in Hard Mode or a variable base in normal mode (the Lucky title ranks increase your chance by an additional 2 percent per rank).

 * ''Note: A "high-end" chest can be identified by the cost of the key to open that chest type. If the key normally costs or more from a merchant, then the types of chest that key opens would be classified as high-end and count towards this title.

Gold Cost
It will cost at least to open all 10,000 chests required for Grandmaster Treasure Hunter, assuming you only open chests requiring keys that cost.

Opening Factions chests with discounted keys will reduce the cost to. The actual cost will vary but will be less as you will be selling and/or trading the loot from the chests you open. The use of lockpicks combined with the Lockpick Bonus would also affect the total cost of the title.

If using Lockpicks exclusively to obtain this title, starting with 0 points in any title, it would cost. This figure however does not include the bonuses to retention you would recieve as you progress through the titles. It does take into account the inherent 10% base retention rate. While obviously this is expensive, the use of lockpicks has other benefits such as increasing your lucky/unlucky title track, and of course the cost drops as your retention rate increases.
