also these chests are reset every so often so check them every now and then

i always check after an update

The way these chests are reset is on a 4 (maybe 5) weekly basis. However, make sure you don't revisit any of the chests before that period is up, or you will not get a drop, and the timer for your char is reset for the full period again, i.e, you will have to wait another 4 or 5 weeks.

Maybe someone can confirm here the actual period between resets.

Don't forget, you can access these chests with every char ;D

Did I understand you right, that you should revisit only one of the chests/treasures every 4-5 weeks?

My experience is the following: I revisited the chest in Mehtani Keys and the buried treasure near the flamingos with 1-2 days interval and got a drop each time. And I think I got a drop from the island in Arkjok Ward a week or so later.

However, if you go out with a friend, only one of you can get a drop, the second one gets nothing. So go with henchies or heroes.
Has anyone else seen the same behaviour?

[No Woking Furries]

I mean that all the chests, etc, can be accessed on a monthly basis, but that must have changed if you can do a revisit every 2/3 days.

I've not tried what you describe... But if true, it would be profitable

[Loreena]

I think there might be some confusion here, English is not my mother language. I probably misunderstood what you said in an earlier post. the "make sure you don't revisit any of the chests before that period is up".
I mean this: I revisited the chests and buried treasures that I had visited some 2 months ago , and got a drop in each one of them. I didn't do this the same day, but within a week or so. I didn't mean that I revisited the same chest within 2 days. Each chest/treasure has its own 'clock', independently of the others, I think.
But if you go with someone else on that job, only one of you can get something, it seems.

While researching the "Light of Deldrimor" skill I came across this article on GW Wiki: wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Treasure
The main points from said article for this topic I believe are:
1) 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.

and

2) Eye of the North treasure are not constrained by any waiting periods and will always contain loot when located and revealed by the Light of Deldrimor.


Hope this helps even if it is a year later.
