Gold and Ornate Chests

Searching regional ruins for chests provides equipment and valuables while uncovering settlements. It is useful as an exploration loop, though chest contents are randomized rather than a dependable source of a particular item.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Ruins and settlements in the Kindlewastes, approached from an activated nearby Ancient Spire.

Use an activated Kindlewastes Ancient Spire as a travel point, glide toward an explored settlement, clear threats, and search its accessible buildings. Move between distinct ruins instead of repeatedly checking one chest. Loot results vary, so use the route to combine exploration and collection.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Access to the Kindlewastes and an activated regional Ancient Spire.
  • Combat equipment for settlement enemies.
  • Inventory room and a safe route back to base.
  1. Open your map and choose a Kindlewastes settlement or ruin you have not fully searched.
  2. Glide from a nearby fast-travel point toward the site, adjusting for terrain and landing safety.
  3. Clear immediate hostiles that could interfere with searching.
  4. Check accessible rooms, buildings, and rooftops for gold or ornate chests.
  5. Collect useful loot and note which structures you have already searched.
  6. When the site is exhausted, travel to another distinct ruin or return to base to sort equipment.

Farming tips

  • Treat chest rewards as randomized; do not plan around a guaranteed weapon or material.
  • Search during broader regional exploration so travel also reveals landmarks and routes.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat across distinct ruins as you discover them. Individual chests are exploration rewards, not a guaranteed renewable farm at one spot.

Common mistakes

  • Expecting a specific item from a chest: use the route for general loot and exploration.
  • Gliding directly into a hostile landing: scout your approach and be ready to fight.
  • Searching only rooftops or only ground floors: check all accessible parts of a structure.

When to stop or switch

Stop when the selected settlement is thoroughly searched or your inventory is full; return to base or move to a different ruin.
