Treasure Chest
Treasure chests contain various treasures and are found in many dungeons throughout Vana'diel. In order to open a chest, you will need to use a treasure key, which are dropped from specific monsters in the same area that the chest is located or, occasionally, in an adjacent area. If you're a Thief, you also have the option to pick open the chest by using a lock-picking tool.
When a chest is opened you will randomly receive either a single treasure item, which will be placed in your treasure pool; some gil, which will be split amongst your party; or a key item, which can only be obtained by the character that opens the chest.
Treasure items can include gems, armor, weapons, quest items; which will only be obtained if the quest is active, and maps; which can only be obtained once. Quest items take first priority when receiving items, with maps taking next-highest priority, and all other items taking last priority.
Special caution should be used when opening chests: they cannot be opened while invisible or weakened, and successful opening of a chest will remove sneak and deodorize effects, possibly causing aggression from nearby monsters.
