    Title: Eastmarch Cave Treasure not really treasure?
    Reproduction Rate: 6/6
    Blocker? No
    Details: Opened the "Eastmarch Cave Treasure" and didn't really get any "treasure"

    Steps to Reproduce: Get a group of 5 or more people to work together to complete a puzzle that takes a while to complete without cheating (a bunch of running around) the kill a few bog men and loot a chest to get the above non-treasure. This isn't even really valuable to a new player. However, it was a cool puzzle.

    Thanks for the feedback! From what I recall, the designers who set up that treasure tried to balance a good reward for a puzzle against low-threat monsters in a relatively safe area. At a glance, I think the treasure seems fine, but I will probably get some feedback from my co-workers before I put this issue to bed.

    I can kill 1, 1 skull mob, which takes about 1 second and is no threat even to a new player. That would yield more of a gain then this puzzle that takes a while to do, and at least 5 people to do. (Btw 2 Bogmen spawn inside as well. They give more treasure than the chest does)

    Every "treasure chest" is filled with this rubbish and ruins every hunt. It not like I want 1mio gold or something really big in this chest, but I want something were you think "worth it".
    In Tenebris habour, a pirate town, I would have laughed my a** off if I had found a spezial named whiskey in the chest, so I can display somewhere "I solved this". But what did I found? fragment not worth the work. It totally ruined the whole treasure hunt.
    The same thing with the treasure hunt were you have to collect the skeleton. Give me a skull with eyepatch on it as reward and I'm happy but not those fragments.
