Buried Treasure

Characters are able to purchase a buried treasure map from a general vendor. That character can then travel to any location in the world, on any server, and use that map. When the map is used a treasure chest is created at the characters feet. At that time the character may put a maximum of three items in that chest. Once the chest is closed no additional items can be added. Do not close the chest until all of the desired items are placed in it.

Once the chest lid is closed the current map is destroyed and a new map is placed in the character's inventory. This new map can then be given to any other character at any location on the server. The map giver may then give the map to that other character(s) and give them a quest to find the chest by using whatever means they desire to describe the location of the chest.

Along with the new map the recieving character(s) must have a shovel. When the map is used where the chest was buried it will be revealed and the items can be taken out. At that time the chest and the map are destroyed and the quest is over unless the quest giver gave additonal instructions. Do not close the lid of the chest until all of the items are removed. If items are left in the chest when the chest is closed they are not recoverable.

• Placing buried treasure maps inside other buried chests
  • Creating a chain of quests in this fashion is possible, but only two quests may be linked together. In other words, one to three buried treasure maps may be put into a buried treasure chest, but the map that is returned as a result cannot be put into another buried treasure chest. If this is attempted the items put into chests beyond the second link will be lost. This may be extended in the future.
• Scribed parchments
  • You may place scribed parchments into buried treasure chests, the scribed text will be preserved.

Note: We ask that all items be of an appropriate level for the receiving characters level. Please do not give out unbalanced rewards. This is important or the system will be have to be removed from the server. The items placed in the chest are persistent across server resets.
