Aetherlocation Treasures are skimmer-detected chests hidden in the water. Up to 30 chests can be opened per day.
Mechanics[edit]
- Aetherlocation Treasure chests are found and revealed by using skimmer's skill Activate Aetherlocation from the
Castoran Intuition mastery. - Aetherlocation searches in a sphere.
- When Aetherlocation has detected a chest, a system prompt will read "Your Skimmer Has Detected Something of Value Nearby" and it will become visible on the mini map and pinged.
- From the time of detection, several seconds can pass before the corresponding chest renders in the world.
- Limitations
- There is a cap on the number of chests that can be opened per day of 30 per account (detections do not count against this limit). If you somehow locate a 31st chest and attempt to open it, you will receive the error message "You have acquired all of the treasures of this type for today".
- You can only loot each chest once every 24 hours. After reset you will still need to wait for that time to be up before you can find a previously looted chest on that map again.
Locations[edit]
- Maguuma Jungle (Tarnished Coast & Steamspur Mountains)
