I belive in order to have this drop you must be under effect of the alchemists find treasure or w/e its called potion

....PLASTIC!

Based on the real treasure!

You have a random chance to see this dropping if you used a Potion of Treasure Finding in the last hour.

Commento di Kragtiki

There is no actual 'rare' drop from this.
It drops 'a lot' of gold IMO, volatiles and embersilk cloth.

Commento di 116400

If you go AOE farming for Embersilk cloth than this thing significantly increases your yield.

Also after 5-6 hours of grinding some nice pack of humanoids I have also found that the volatile calculation is not exclusive. One occasion I got a chest with 1-3 of each volatile. (as well as 5G and 12 embersilk).

It also "darkens" out the button if you dont have any in your inventory. :)

~~i suggest Stone Bat and Jaspertip Swarmer~~. <-- no longer drops any loot. :(

Watch out for the Son of Kor tho... :)

Commento di Enthorn

Note: the drop rate percentage of cloth and volatiles are lower than they are displayed to be on wowhead because often chests will contain -only- gold and no cloth/volatiles. The number of chests that contain nothing isn't factored in by wowhead, only chests that contain loot. So what it really means is that, of the chests that do contain either cloth or volatiles, 84% of the time, they contain 4-11 cloth. However, the actual drop rate of cloth is probably closer to 50%, if not lower.

Just did an hour in Deepholm farming troggs on my mage. Not sure how many I killed, but it was probably over 300.

Loot off monsters:
81g in coins
31g in Charsi food
7 greens
118 embersilk cloth
14 tiny treasure chest

Loot from chests:
57 embersilk cloth
2 volatile fire
55g in coins

The potion cost me about 250g to make.

Volatile fire's are running for 15g on my server. Embersilk cloth is 5g a piece. (30g +285g +55g) = 370g. Thats 120g profit for using the potion, which is better than not making a profit at all. Consider how much I would have made without the potion (81g + 31g + 200g from D/E greens + 590g from silk) = 902g.

Now for how much the potion actually helped me, percentage wise. ( 120 / (902 +120) ) * 100 = %11.7.

So my profits increased by %11.7 Keep in mind that the sample size is entirely inadequate, and keep in mind the RNG. I only got a single loot of volatiles (fire x 2). If I had gotten multiple volatile air, which go for 40g on my server, than the numbers would have been different. Either way, my luck was not the greatest, but even so, the cloth itself paid for the potion. Anything else was just a bonus.

The trick to the potion is to maximize kills per hour. There are many places where an aoe class can get a massive number of kills to maximize profits. I see several people chose Deepholm like me. The place is very good. Killing was very easy, and it probably took me longer to actually loot the bodies than to kill them.

Commento di 740826

In one hour farming twilight dragonkin and humanoids in Deepholm I got 14 chests. My tip is to pop a potion when you go out to farm other things, the chest shouldn't be the main reason you kill the mobs but it is a nice addition nonetheless.

(I got 9 Strange Bloated Stomachs and about half of the mobs were skinnable so drop rate could be roughly the same)

Commento di 61125

Currently on the PTR Patch 4.0.6

The drops from Tiny Treasure Chests have been improved slightly.

Did a quick 1hour test, It seemed the drop rate was lowered however the test was not long enough to find out.

The drop rates of volatiles inside this have increased, been getting 1-5 so far.

Also I have gotten Pyrite ore inside this too.

I'm sure more testing may reveal more info about this after patch.

Commento di 13674

I just finished farming various mobs in Deepholm. I started with some troggs but when they got too many for me and my friend we moved on to something a bit more manageable but still went non-stop.

We both used a potion, but I feel like it doesn't work very well. Between the two of us I think we got about 14 chests, myself getting around 10-11 and he getting the other 3-4.

From the chests was mostly gold and cloth, a scant few volatiles. I believe we got close to 10 greens, what seemed to be a little more money than usual but the usual amount of trash drops.

This is something probably better left to farming by yourself if you know you can kill things quickly. Since the mats aren't cheap (yet) and I have a hard time finding a lot of Heartblossom, I probably won't be doing this often. I feel like I get better yields by fishing the Sealed Crates from TB than these chests.

Farming the Troggs in Deepholm for 1 hour, using Potion of Treasure Finding and Northern Cloth Scavenging got me the following items:

-87g
-27 Tiny Treasure Chest
-405 Embersilk Cloth
-11 Greens
-37 Greys

As a Warlock, all I do is use my affliction pvp spec, summon a Voidwalker and put him on defensive and cast Corruption and Bane of Agony on every mob. It's pretty easy to farm and its worth it if you are leveling Tailoring. Also a good way to make money.

Commento di whitewyrm

As of patch 4.0.6 i gotten some Elementium ore, Pyrite ore and 1 green item out of the new improved tiny treasure chests.

Commento di Beikon

I looted 27 of these chests in 1 hour by killing rock elementals in Hyjal right outside at the starting place.

I also made a youtube video of me opening all of the chests + other things related to potion of treasure finding and tiny treasure chests. This is after the 4.0.6 so you'll see the improved loot from the chests. Check it out if you really want to see with your own eyes what you get inside these chests :). It's totally worth it if you can handle grinding mobs non stop for 1 hour... well, as long as you don't pay too much for the potion itself.

FYI, killing flayer swarmers or the bat swarms in deepholm (the patrolling mobs in packs of ~6) no longer drop any loot. So using them to get a bag full of TTC is no longer possible.

*Note: Several of My "With Potion" runs occurred prior to the loot buff in 4.0.6.

Conclusions:

Potions do not appear to increase the drops of volatiles or uncommon quality items that do not come from Tiny Treasure chests.
5% drop rate of Tiny chests. On average I could kill 200 Elementals per hour so roughly 10 chests per hour
My realized values (in gold) for tiny chests or per potion is obviously flawed in many ways, but the number crunching is just to develop a more tacit understanding of its benefits. To me, the value of this potion is not in gold accumulation, but an increase in efficiency in farming mobs. I need 40 of X, I'll get an extra benefit on the side while doing so.

Commento di Lilbolt

Out of roughly 1.5 hours questing in Twilight Highlands I got 11 chests in total which contained the following:

71 gold
111 embersilk cloth
9 pyrite ore
6 elementium ore
15 volatile life
7 volatile water
1 volatile earth
1 volatile fire
4 greens

I also noticed that this potion works in Tol Barad aswell as I went there with a few minutes left and scored a chest on the first demon @ one of the dailies.

Commento di 693338

These chests drop from mobs in Tol Barad too.
I got them from the mobs in the area while doing the Custodi di Baradin daily quests but never from Volpe di Baradin although i kill them pretty often since i am farming for the Volpina companion pet.
For my surprise i got today one containing Modello: Diamante Spirito Tenebroso Agile which is the last meta gem recipe i was missing on my jc.Sweet ^^
In my opinion these items are very random to drop. There are days that i get 0 or 1 in 1hour and other times more than 10 and rich in volatiles and cloth.
Anyways the recipe i got today motivated me to keep on testing my luck :)

Have had nothing but amazing luck with this, especially as a rogue. Farming trogs in deepholm; first I pickpocket in the hopes of getting one of the rare epic rogue weapons, then I kill and loot for tiny treasure chests. Got a TON of pyrite, ore, cloth and volatiles. easily 1k worth.

Commento di 154429

after an hour... i got only one chest with 4.3 gold two embersilk and 1 Volatile life... =/

Commento di shroxari

Another great plus of Alchemy. I found the the best spot to farm these (for Alliance at least) is at Needlerock Slag, where the Earthen and the Stone Troggs are fighting. The Geomancers and Berserkers are grouped close together and respawn fast - perfect for aoe-ing. The Geomancers and Berserkers also have the highest drop rate of the Tiny Treasure Chest (3%), EXCLUDING the Highbank Snipers (5%) in the Twilight Highlands, which are hostile towards Horde only.

Commento di zivadavid

The real key to farming for these is to have an area with a fast respawn rate. The faster the better. As of late 4.2 the troggs in deep holm seem to be the best place to do this. In an hour of farming i filled an embersilk bag with them

Commento di dendog

farmed the troggs in deepholm for these with the potion enabled did about 2 hrs worth all up i made about 2.5k gold just from selling vendor trash all the volatiles the cloth , greens etc etc not a bad outlay for a 50g potion "Get on it!"

Commento di Kurasu

The best way to consider these chests is not so much 'the sole reason for farming', but instead 'a nice bonus for farming'. Pop a Potion Of Treasure Finding before you go out on a heavy skinning, cloth farming, daily-rush, or XP-grinding session that you expect to last an hour or more. With the amount of mobs that you're killing, whether AOE or otherwise, you *should* be able to get a minimum of 8 chests, and more likely 10-15. The greens, volatiles, ore, cloth, and gold the 'bonus chests' drop will generally pay for the potion that you used, and as you were already killing those masses of enemies, you aren't going out of your way to hunt things down.

I craft these as an alchemist, and would much rather use them than sell them on the AH, as it is a difference between a 100-200g (max) each on the AH, and a 300g (minimum) increase on a farming session. If you are not a heavy grinder, then selling at the AH is much more profitable, as they don't tend to sit for long. People buy them fast and I rarely have them sit up for the full 24 hours when I *do* put them up.

Commento di 928254

Since Transmute Living Elements always gives volatile air if you do the transmute in Uldum, I decided to try a theory.
I took 10 chests and opened them in Uldum and got 22 volatile air, 1 volatile life, 1 volatile earth and 7 volatile fire. I don't know if I just got lucky or if there's a connection.

And before you say you can't get certain volatiles from specific locations, Blizz poster Lylirra posted: If you use this transmute while in one of the new Cataclysm zones associated with the Elemental Planes, however, the element into which your Volatile Life will transform will be predetermined. For example, if you use Transmute: Living Elements while in Uldum, you will always receive Volatile Air for your efforts.

Mount Hyjal: Volatile Fire
Vashj'ir: Volatile Water
Deepholm: Volatile Earth
Uldum: Volatile Air

So, if you need some certain volatiles, it may be worth a try.

Commento di Arxroth

To get this small item you need to be under effect of Pozione della Ricerca di Tesori

So far I have seen these to drop also from both Tol Barad and Tol Barad Peninsula although those are not listed in there.

Currently it is unclear for me if these drop from dungeons etc.

This took me 2 hours to get 67, I use a frost mage (Been AoE grinding since BC) I started in Netherstorm, and ever since I always looked for spots to grind with Blizzard.

If you wan't to know my spot, It's in Deepholm, these mobs realistically take 20 seconds to respawn after death, so once you're done looting, bam, they are back.

Some tricks; Mirror Image will take all aggro and bunch them up for you
Cold Snap is very useful as well.
I usually ice block, let them gather up and I let iceblock run out and i use my own nova, & save my pets nova for when they start moving.

It's also nice to find some cata enchants, the past 7 potions I've used (7 hours) I found 2 recipes for enchanters, both sold for over 2100g each, a total of 4650 I believe.

Here's the monster I farm on if you're interested in checking it out (Try a few pulls before drinking your potion to get the hang of it, unless you make your own and they are pretty much free)

Patch 4.3

I tried using a potion of treasure finding a couple weeks ago, went to deepholm to "needlerock slag" I'm 85, and the creatures there are 82. Green to me, only found 1 chest in an hour. With that being said I decided to give it another try, and followed SIENT's (previous post) advice..

I went to verlont stand in deepholm. I am an 85 frost mage as well. There I stould on a boulder and kept pulling the guys into me, freezing them, icy veins then blizzard spam and ended up doing very well.

In 1 hour this is what I got, wrote it down for you guys so you can get an idea of what you possibly can get. Keep in mind I'm not that great of a fighter yet so those of you more experienced with your character can probably get way more than this being I died a few times and am a bit rusty after not playing for a year... ANYWHO

VERLOK STAND - DEEPHOLM

1 HOUR:

15 treasure chests
198 embersilk cloth (9 stacks plus 18 pieces)
4 green items (haven't disenchanted yet)
7 pyrite ore
6 elementium ore
5 volatile air
6 volatile earth
90 gold from chests
10 gold looted while killing stuff
and 8 more gold from grey items- so about 110 gold all together.

MUCH BETTER THAN MY FIRST SHOT AT THE POTION OF TREASURE FINDING! THANKS FOR POSTS! Hope this helps you guys, I'd say its definitley worth the potion and time. on my server volatiles and ore is valuable, as well as the matts the greens disenchant into and all the looted gold for a potion that cost me 50 gold? Yeah all day long baby!

Shadow priests: feel useful again! Here's how to grind out tons of these chests in Deepholm on the Trogg della Pietra Berserkers and Trogg della Pietra Geomantes that are fighting the Costrutto da Guerras and Campione Terrigenos.

Target the friendly unit closest to the center of the pack, within max 10 yards of the largest concentration of troggs.

Commento di Kefra

Monsters in Tol Barad seem to have roughly two-thirds the usual chance of dropping a Tiny Treasure Chest compared to monsters elsewhere.

In three hours with the Potion active, I averaged 194 loots per hour and 5.67 chests (5, 6, and 6). This works out to a 3.24% drop rate, about one-third lower than the ~5% drop rate that people farming in other zones have reported.

This seems like something Blizz would do, particularly since some parts of Tol Barad are absolutely crawling with quest-target enemies.

Commento di seahen

The recorded drops of blue gear add up to 53, out of 73130 loots, which means each chest has less than a 0.1% chance to contain any of them.

Commento di parkerj316

I have farmed using this 3 separate times in Deepholm and have had good luck. I needed lots of Embersilk Cloth to help my mage. In just about 3 hours(as said before 3 separate occasions) of farming using the potion of treasure finding i was able to take my mages enchanting from 475 to 520(from all the greens dropping from troggs and tiny treasure chests and using some of the cloth to make a few extra greens) and my tailoring from 475ish to 525 and have my full vicious set for pvping. I used my druid(tank) to do the farming. I got a little bored at one point and took some video of me farming them and put it to the so Bodies by Drowning Pool. Check it out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vI6DHnVypc&context=C4b76d19ADvjVQa1PpcFOsvbgvFBRt5Pb1CCBG-inHkv-Cf7ppzOc=

And before you say anything, I know I didn't show anything about the little treasure boxes on the video.. lol

Anyway, the first time i got 30 chests, second time got about 20-22 and the 3rd time got 27-29. If i didn't use all the mats up and sold the stuff I got then it would be a pretty good way to make some gold but I usually use the mats making stuff my toons.

These have been nerfed to the point of useless. The drop rate has been lowered so much, they might as well have just removed this completely from the game rather than let people waste an hour of their time trying.

Commento di 1005908

in deepholm, when those air elementals are leaving the temple, follow them, they take you to a huge war battle of inifinite respawning of Ire Tumblers (lvl 83 stone elementals, like 53k something health each) and a few Servants of Theramore (lvl 85 elite with 523k something hp, alot harder than the trash elementals) they spawn indefinitely at the place where the 2 shamans are fighting them off with the fire and air elementals. the lvl 83 tumblers are the real treasure. they spawn INDEFINITELY, and are extremely fast spawning as in, you will most likely gather more and more and you kill them. I am a demonology warlock using Dark Apotheosis, Wrathguard, and Harvest Life to aoe these to oblivion. they drop tremendous amounts of grey trash worth 4g 40s and and 7g 3s or something like that, each of those are for a stack of 20. all greys get vendored. greens and blues are put onto the auction house for decent undercutting (that's what i do anyway).Today of this post is the day i started doing this. The first hour i did it, i found roughly 15-20 treasure chests, all together got 169 embersilks, something like possibly 50-75 gold, and something like 10-15 of each volatile they drop, along with 18 Pyrium Ore and 17 Elementium ore. no green or blue drops from the chest however.

I was already farming these elementals for the trash drops because on them, i can make about 500-600 gold an hour by using this simple macro i made. I do not remember exactly what it was, but it went like this.

showtooltip Harvest Life
startattack
cast Harvest Life

that allows me to auto target the closest enemy within my line of sight, and auto cast a single Harvest Life on them, which will agro all elementals within 15 yards of it, allowing me to pull MULTITUDES (pfft, like 10-20) of them at a time if they managed to stay long enough, it allows me to DPS all of them, Heal myself very very well, and i can use Immolation Aura, hand of Gul'Dan, and Wrathguard FelStorm aoe ability to do outrageous mass aoe on these, along with the new aoe looting, and settings on auto loot everything, it is extremely useful. To do this, you must be in a certain part of the quest chain of deepholm. A good way to know you are here is if you go talk to the Patient purple giant crystal dude. When you get to talk to him, the elementals should be fighting, and you can begin the great farming. Now, with the treasure finding potion on, and most of my pulls being around 5-10 of those Tumblers at any time, i can usually get 1 chest dropped every other pull (at most 60-90 seconds a pull if 10 or below) and if i just pull pull pull until they stop spawning for a few seconds, i can get multichests at once. I remember i got 4 chests all in 1 loot window from about 10-15 Ire Tumblers, other times nothing, other times 1 or 2, and other times 2 or 3 chests.

Now finding out that those potions work on these Ire Tumblers, the gold has nearly doubled from this. The chest drops large amounts of that Pyrium Ore, and along with all those Volatile things, it will be very easy to get the materials to trasmutate the required 12 Bars of Truegold for Vial of the Sands in possibly a week or less. Not the actual trasmutation, but the materials required to do the trasmutation.

And to think i found out about this gold farm method, and treasure chest farm method, all because i wanted to do quest spamming to make money for Vial of the Sands. funny how things work out in the best of ways sometime ^w^

*edited* they actually had 53k health, not 75k, and i just did a semi test of half an hour, got around...20 Tiny Chests and from them + the trash drops from the Tumblers, equaled easily 500gold, even though i did not sell any of the volatiles, ores, or silks.

I went and farmed the trogg berserkers for an hour with the Treasure Finding potion, and was pleasantly surprised by what I came away with, both as contents of the chests and from the mobs:

45 Tiny Treasure Chests
26 greens
22 stacks Embersilk
27 Volatile Air
13 Volatile Earth
12 Volatile Fire
12 Volatile Water
9 Volatile Life
14 Elementium Ore
17 Pyrite Ore
Pattern: Agile Shadowspirit Diamond
Pattern: Steady Jasper

The pattern drops may have been from the mobs, however; I don't recall as I wasn't exactly looking at the loot spam in the chat box. :)

Just decided to craft a few of these for my 82 Hunter as I want to level her for crafting but didn't fancy questing.

Specced Survival for the AoE serpent sting (first time trying this spec, so a more experienced Survival Hunter should fare better).

Her gear is pretty awful, with a mix of out of date heirlooms, WoTLK blues and cata greens. I used a turtle (my newly tamed Terrorpene) for the survivability.

Most big pulls consisted of: Misdirection (on pet) > Multi-Shot (as many times as focus would allow, normally 3) > Explosive Trap > Lynx Rush (every 4 or 5 packs)

Survivability was a large concern given my level and gear. My Draenei racial was on cooldown at all times, Mend Pet had a 93% uptime according to Recount and Feign Death also got used on more pulls than I would have wanted, while the DoT's ticked away. I died once and my pet died twice, both times due to a level 90 Horde Warlock's DoT's (which they seemed apologetic about after, must have just been multi-dotting and realised after).

Got pretty much exactly a whole level in the hour, having rested for about 4-5 bars and +5% exp from the heirloom cloak. Obviously with full rested/more 1-85 heirlooms the exp gain would be quite a bit better.

Total loot was:

Around 130g from mobs - Didn't check exact figures before starting but I got the 1000g achievment quite early on so based it roughly on that.
7 78-81 Cata Greens
About 20 Roasted Beef (which I was using for healing myself up quickly, with my low health pool it healed me to full in about 15 seconds)
141 Embersilk Cloth
Around 62g in random grey items
35 tiny treasure chests

Opening the chests gave:

~140g
131 Embersilk Cloth
11 Volatile Water
6 Volatile Earth/Life/Fire
4 Volatile Air
12 Pyrite Ore
15 Elementium Ore
2 level 82 Greens

All in all, while probably not the most profitable/fast way to level, I found it a lot more fun/challenging than mindlessly questing while 2-3 shotting every mob. I also need lots of Embersilk for Dreamcloth so I'm quite happy with what I ended up with. :)

Long story short has the chest drop rate been nerfed? I'm pulling way less then back in cata.

Hi and good evening.

Just spent an enjoyable hour butchering Verlok Shroomtenders and Verlok Grubthumpers at the Verlok Stand in Deepholm after gulping down a Pozione della Ricerca di Tesori. My main reason was farming Tessuto di Telardente and greens to send to my Tailor and Enchanter, respectively, to procure some Polvere Ipnotica.

From the mobs there I looted a dozen greens, all armour (armor) bar one weapon which disenchanted into 18 x Polvere Ipnotica and 8 x Essenza Celestiale Inferiore. 78 x Tessuto di Telardente, vendor trash to the tune of 54 gold and 45 x Baule del Piccolo Tesoro.
From these chests I looted:
261 x Tessuto di Telardente;
10 x Fuoco Instabile;
8 x Acqua Instabile;
3 x Terra Instabile;
11 x Aria Instabile;
12 x Vita Instabile;
27 x Minerale di Pirite;
11 x Minerale d'Elementio &
1 x Amuleto dei Nethander.
Plus a total of 155g 12s 16c.

Considering the Auction House prices on my realm, Blades Edge (EU), seem fairly high for the above items the gold I would get from the loot would be a nice lump but I'm a pitiful hoarder so I'll probably just stuff them in my groaning Guild Bank!

I'm not saying this is the best way to increase your gold per hour haul, in fact I'm sure it isn't but the opening of the chests does add a bit of excitement. Blimey, that makes me sound dull!

Come to think of it, there is no real point to this post but I thought I'd share it anyway. I just hope someone somewhere in WoWHead land finds this a little bit helpful.

To sum up: I personally think that the Pozione della Ricerca di Tesori is a great thing to consume before you head out to one of the Cataclysm zones.

Good luck all and apologies for wasting 5 minutes of your life if you read this far!

I have been doing some Grim Batol farming and honestly, the drop rate on these have drastically been reduced. I think even the amount of greens from the instance has dropped as well. I can do 5 minute clears of the instance and usually get only 2 or 3 Tiny Chests when I used to get 10-12.

Commento di Furryness85

I'm having this same issue, only I hit my instance limit and did not get a single chest from bastion of twilight. I did get 5 epic boe pieces. As for geens, I only got enough greens to make 39 dust, 4 lesser celestial, and 2 greater running 25 heroic. Did get 339 cloth though but not much better.

Commento di Furryness85

So far from doing reading on what others are saying and trying them myself. The best place I've found to farm tiny treasure chests is in deepholm at verlok stand killing the Verlok grubthumpers, and Verlok shroomtenders.

40 runs in bastion of twilight 25 man heroic and got 1 chest.

10 minutes at verlok stand and have 14 chests at the moment. (Still farming them)

For those who can solo it, Firelands is great for farming these.

Kill the trash mobs, watching out for Shannox when he spawns. On my DK, I can pull quite a few packs at a time, speeding up the run through. Once the trash is killed, go out, reset, go back in and repeat the process.

In my most recent one hour farm, I managed to get 60 of these things, not to mention close to the same amount in green/blue/purple BoEs, 2 patterns, and 3 lockboxes. I'm not sure how many greys I got, as I had to vendor them half way through to make room for the rest of the run, but between the gold looted from the mobs, and the gold gained from vendoring the greys, I had about 650 gold after the hour was up, and that was without opening the treasure chests.

After opening the chests, it brought it up to almost 900 gold. I also got 291 embersilk, 23 volatile air, 20 pyrite ore, 21 volatile water, 18 elementium ore, 32 volatile earth, 18 volatile life, 26 volatile fire, and four more green items.

Its best to have all your bags be hexweave bags, as even with that, I still had to vendor greys two or three times, and I only had three items in there to begin with (my two hearthstones and extra treasure finding potions)

Please note, the quantities here are for just one run that I kept track of, and your results may vary, due to RNGesus. I'm also fine tuning the path I take to try and make it quicker and get more runs in through the hour, however, after the third or fourth run, unless you have a portable mailbox, you are most likely, going to have to port out anyway due to overflowing bags, although you could vendor the greens, too, I guess. But I prefer to keep those for disenchanting for dust to make bags.

EDIT: I did this on heroic 25 man. not sure if it makes a difference whether heroic or not, but felt like it needed to be noted.
