Loot Chests
General#
Loot chests spawn at random floor spots throughout the mines, so there are no fixed locations to memorise. Each mine keeps a handful of chests alive at once, and an unopened chest relocates after two hours, so a chest you walked past is not there forever. Chests break once closed, and anything you leave inside is destroyed.
Every mine is split into sections that get richer the deeper you go. Each section holds 2 to 5 chests, and every chest rolls its contents independently:
| Section | Items Per Chest |
|---|---|
| First | 3 to 5 |
| Second | 4 to 6 |
| Third | 5 to 7 |
The Redstone and Diamond mines have two sections; the rest have three.
Deeper sections do not just hand out more items. They roll larger stacks of the same materials, and they carry the higher-value reputation tokens.
What Else Turns Up#
Beyond ordinary materials, three things are worth watching for:
- Clusters matching the mine, at roughly a 2.5% chance per item rolled. These trade with Sketchy Steve.
- Reputation tokens, minted fresh when the chest fills, so their six hour expiry starts then. Do not sit on them.
- Relics, rare themed gear and charms left behind by the old mines. These are the rarest thing in the pool, mostly under 1% per roll, and the deepest section of each mine holds a relic the shallow ones never drop.
Which reputation token a mine drops climbs with depth:
| Mine | Tokens |
|---|---|
| Coal | Arrow Head |
| Copper | Arrow Head, MRE |
| Iron | MRE, Skull |
| Emerald | Skull, Uranium Cell |
| Redstone | Uranium Cell, Miners Helmet |
| Diamond | Miners Helmet, Titanium Heart |
