Excavated Chests are a key feature of the Expedition mechanic, uncovered by detonating explosives during an Expedition encounter. These chests contain various rewards, including Expedition Artifacts, Exotic Coinage and other valuable items. The chests can be normal, magic or rare.
Mechanics
Chests are buried and must be unearthed by strategically placing explosives on the Expedition map.
Detonating explosives unearths the chests and spawns nearby Runic monsters that must be defeated before the chests can be looted.
Each chest provides randomised loot and can include Expedition artifacts (e.g., Order ArtifactOrder ArtifactStack Size: 20These can be used to trade with Rog or to combine items at the Recombinator.) or other valuable items.
Runic Monster Interaction
Excavated Chests are typically guarded by Runic monsters, which are spawned upon unearthing the chest.
Monsters vary in difficulty based on the Expedition location and the number of Remnants included in the explosion.
Tips
Plan your explosive placement to unearth multiple chests with a single detonation when possible.
Be cautious when detonating explosives in densely populated areas, as large groups of Runic monsters can be challenging to handle.
Prioritise chests in areas with fewer modifiers to reduce the risk of dangerous monster buffs.
