- ApolloTrail’s through-h guide says carried treasure chests open in town. Finish retention and inventory preparation before opening a group.
- Wikily treats treasure keys as entry items for Treasure Maps, while Mythic Treasure Chest is a carried consumable with its own reward rules. They are different objects.

Prepare the town phase before opening rewards
A chest arriving in the carriage is a carried reward, not necessarily an interaction available during combat. ApolloTrail’s through-1.0.0h guide says to return when the carriage fills, drop off the loot in town and open treasure chests there. If an unopened chest remains in the bag while the hero fights, first check that you are in the correct phase instead of repeatedly trying the combat screen. The reviewed guide does not supply a universal chest-opening keyboard shortcut or an automatic-opening toggle.

Return and inspect the delivery
Confirm the carried chest is now available and identify its type. Do not confuse a key, a Treasure Map entrance or an equipment drop with a chest consumable.
Make reward room
Move reserve equipment into town storage. Keep active auto-use consumables and deliberately retained items where they belong; inspect free inventory slots.
Protect existing valuables
Lock equipment you intend to retain before bulk sale or salvage. Read any current filter settings that could affect reward handling.
Open one chest under observation
Inspect the resulting items and gold before opening a larger group. Record the chest name and level if evaluating a source’s reward table.
Compare the rewards
Equip useful replacements or store reserve candidates before disposing of the remainder. A rarity label alone is not an upgrade decision.
Resume the intended farming policy
Review cart filters, retained gear and bag room before leaving town again.

The order is editorial preparation based on the documented containers and controls. It keeps a reward from becoming an accidental sale during cleanup. A successful opening shows what that chest produced; it does not establish the average of a loot table from one sample.
Distinguish carried chests, treasure keys and special destinations
| Object | Reference role | Do not infer |
|---|---|---|
| Carried treasure chest | Opened during the town phase in the launch guide | An equipment-rarity toggle is an auto-open feature |
| Silver Treasure Key | Normal difficulty Treasure Map entry | It is itself a reward chest |
| Golden Treasure Key | Nightmare difficulty Treasure Map entry | The word Golden means Golden Treasure Chest |
| Royal Treasure Key | Inferno difficulty Treasure Map entry | It grants access without the map’s actual requirements |
| Mythic Treasure Chest | Separate consumable reward entry | Its table applies to every chest type |

Wikily’s key page lists a 0.05% chance per cleared encounter to drop the key for the current difficulty, with only the boss encounter rolling it in Mythic Rift. It explicitly frames drop rules as offline-character rules and says online loot is server-decided. Use this to distinguish the reference system, not to predict an online session’s key count or promise one key after a fixed number of kills. An encounter-level roll is not one roll per enemy inside the pack.

Read the Mythic chest reference without exporting it to every chest
Wikily’s Mythic Treasure Chest entry lists Rare rarity, stack size 1 and a 1-gold sale value. It describes 2–3 items, plus a separate 10% gem roll that can raise the total to 4, and 10,000–15,000 gold raised by Gold Find. Those are details for this named entry. Selling the chest for its listed 1 gold and opening it for a variable reward are different decisions, and the article does not claim the same opening result for Silver or Golden chests.
Evidence: Mythic Treasure Chest
| Reward element | Listed rule | Condition to keep visible |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment count | 2–3 items | Gem roll is additional |
| Gem roll | 10% per chest | Gem comes from chest level |
| Gold | 10,000–15,000 | Raised by Gold Find |
| Base item rarity | Uncommon 15%, Rare 70%, Legendary 15% | Before Item Find and stage bonus |
| Legendary eligibility | No Legendary below chest level 10 | Read the actual chest level |
Evidence: Mythic Treasure Chest
The entry says enemy-dropped chest level follows the enemy killed last in the encounter and the equipment pool follows that level and the current hero’s classes. That makes opening context and chest identity relevant to interpreting a reward. Keep the named chest and its level with any observation; an attractive item from one high-level chest does not demonstrate that a low-level chest can produce it.
Evidence: Mythic Treasure Chest
For high-rarity tails, the same reference gives a 0.005% Divine chance per item only for a level 70 chest opened on Inferno, modified by Item Find and the stage loot bonus. It describes a 10% Ancient chance on level 70 Legendary items excluding Back, and an earlier 0.2% Black Mist roll when opened on Nightmare or Inferno. These are narrowly conditional unofficial data, not a beginner expectation, an online rate or a claim that every chest can roll those outcomes.

Keep official loot changes distinct from reference chances
Official patch 1.0.0h says Frost Dragon gained a 5% chance to drop a Golden Treasure Chest because it had been missing from the loot table. That is a named developer change for a specific boss and chest. It does not establish a 5% rate for every boss or Mythic chest. Patch 1.0.0g also fixed opening chests during fishing incorrectly triggering the fishing achievement, confirming that chest opening and the achievement condition are separate actions.
Evidence: Official patch 1.0.0h · Official patch 1.0.0g
Wikily’s Mythic entry names Mythic Rift bosses and two Treasure Drakes as sources. It lists a 10% boss encounter chance multiplied by 1.01 to the tier power, giving 10.1% at tier 1 and 27.05% at tier 100. It also describes encounter-level Drake rolls rather than one universal kill rate. These details locate a research lead for the endgame reward, and are not required to open a carried chest in town. The reference explicitly keeps offline rules separate from online server loot.

Diagnose a chest that will not open or a reward that disappears
| Symptom | Inspect first | Useful next observation |
|---|---|---|
| Chest will not open during combat | Town restriction in the launch guide | Return to town and inspect the chest there |
| Opening seems to give little equipment | Chest identity, level, bag room and disposal policy | Open one under a conservative keep configuration |
| Blue equipment disappears | Rarity action and manual sales | Watch an opening before changing all filters |
| Missing key for a special map | Key type and difficulty | Distinguish key drop from chest opening |
| Fishing achievement appears from chest | Installed version and patch-g fix | Keep chest action separate from fishing test |

A retained Steam suggestion says blue chest rewards were auto-sold under a blue equipment filter. This is one player’s observation, not a verified current processing rule. Wikily’s carriage page separately offers Collect Chests as a pickup toggle: turning it off leaves dropped chests on the ground. A collect toggle, a reward filter and an automatic-opening feature should not be conflated. The reviewed sources do not establish that player requests for auto-opening became an implemented current feature.

Treasure chest questions
Q: Why can I carry a chest but not open it while fighting?
ApolloTrail’s scoped launch guide places chest opening in town. Check that phase first.
Q: Can I guarantee Legendary gear from a Mythic chest?
No. The reference gives per-item rarity probabilities and conditions, not a guaranteed Legendary result.
Q: Are the Mythic numbers valid online?
The source explicitly describes offline-character rules and server-decided online loot. No independent online-rate verification is provided here.
Q: Is a Golden Treasure Key the same as a Golden Treasure Chest?
No. The key reference links the key to Nightmare Treasure Map entry. A chest is a separate carried reward.
Q: Should I open every chest with zero free slots?
Prepare receiving room and observe one opening first. The reviewed body does not document every overflow behavior for chest rewards.
Q: Does turning Collect Chests off open them automatically?
No. Wikily describes leaving dropped chests on the ground when that toggle is off.
