Treasure Chests are large locked containers that can be found across Tamriel. Treasure chests spawn in fixed locations in the world. Each time they spawn, they have a random difficulty of lock—ranging from Simple to Master. They typically contain a variety of valuable items and gold.
UnlockingEdit
Unlocking a chest requires at least one lockpick, which themselves can be acquired from the world or bought from General Goods Merchants. Interacting with a chest will open up a lockpicking mini-game where the pins must be aligned in order to open the lock. Alternatively, you can try to force the lock open. The chances of forcing a lock depends on its difficulty, but this chance can be improved by adding points to the Locksmith skill in the Legerdemain skill tree.
Successfully unlocking a chest grants you a small amount of leveled experience, as well as Legerdemain experience. If all the loot is taken, the chest disappears for a short time and eventually respawns.
