There is almost always an enemy near them. You'll need to move your cursor around and check very carefully. Without a trained eye, you may not notice them. Some of them (especially the Runestone) blend into the surroundings like any other decorative box. You might remember chests in the past being vastly oversized and cartoony. If you plan on doing any serious treasure hunting, I highly advise this addon. They exist in essentially every zone, and currently they have 6 different types:Ĭurrently, all of them are being tracked with the addon Gathermate2, but the Gathermate2_data doesn't seem to include the Dark Iron or Maplewood chests, though it'll still mark it on your map if you find them. Now, once the Cataclysm hit, we have new chests, rarer, and with better rewards than ever before! Those don't exist anymore (aside from in the vanilla dungeons that have yet to be revamped). They typically were full of garbage, maybe a gem, maybe a green, but usually food and an earthroot or something.

Some of you may recall treasure chests that existed back in Vanilla (and through the Lich King, though no chests were added to northrend until later). Well, this may be old news, but after extensive personal research, I have some information on these chests, including the different types, the rewards, and tips if you wish to hunt them further.
