Ten named chests across Drustvar, seven of which need a rune order, a lit torch or a key before they open.

What the achievement asks

Find ten named treasures across Drustvar. Ten points, account-wide, both factions.

Drustvar is littered with ordinary small chests that count for nothing. The ten that matter all carry a name of their own, and seven of them will not simply open when you click them: three are sealed behind a rune puzzle, three more need a torch lit first, and one needs a key you have to kill for.

The three rune puzzles

Each Runebound container sits under a ward with four runes around it. Click them in the right order and the ward drops. The three orders are all different, and none of them is guessable.

  • Runebound Cache at Gol Koval: Left, Down, Up, Right.
  • Runebound Coffer at Iceveil Glacier: Right, Up, Left, Down.
  • Runebound Chest at Alpine Rise: Left, Right, Down, Up.

The Alpine Rise order is the one people get wrong. Left, Down, Up, Right is widely quoted for it and does not work. The order that does is Left, Right, Down, Up.

Each of the three holds one Drust relic: the Drust Soulcatcher in the Cache, the Drust Ritual Knife in the Coffer, and the Heartsbane Grimoire in the Chest.

The four torch chests add up to a pet

The Enchanted Chest, Hexed Chest, Bespelled Chest and Ensorcelled Chest each sit near an unlit witch torch. Click the torch, then the chest opens.

They are worth doing in one go, because between them they hold the four pieces of a Spooky Bundle of Sticks, which summons a Wicker Pup.

Two that are easy to get wrong

The Enchanted Chest is in a cave under a hill in Corlain, and there is an ordinary small treasure chest sitting on the hill directly above it, on what looks like the same coordinate. Loot that one and you will ride off thinking the criterion is done. Get underground first.

The Stolen Thornspeaker Cache was the last of the ten to be found, and the cave holding it is easy to walk past. Look for it on the lake side in the north of the Crimson Forest, near the tree by the water. The chest is right at the back, behind a banner, with a few mobs standing between you and it.
