In The Elder Scrolls Online there are treasures that you can only find with the right treasure map. Here you will learn where to find the hidden treasure chests.
In The Elder Scrolls Online, you start – as in all ES games – as a penniless vagabond who, apart from a shabby weapon and a few rags, has nothing. Of course, you can work hard to acquire new stuff, or you search for treasures and become rich and well-equipped with little effort.

Where are the treasure chests?
In order to unearth the treasures, you first need a treasure map. Treasure maps are scattered all over the respective zone and are random drops from enemies or from chests and other containers. Important: If you don’t have the map, you won’t be able to find any treasure. Even if you visit the correct location, there will be nothing to find there.
However, if you have a map, you will find a mound of earth at the specific location after activating it, which can be clicked on. Also important: In every area, only maps that are suitable for that area drop. So if you want to farm maps, you should do so where you want the treasures.
The reward for your efforts
After digging, you will receive a box with randomly generated content. However, there are always useful items of good quality inside, and what you can’t use, you can still break down for crafting materials or sell. Also, keep in mind that the items always have the level that you currently have. So it’s better to give the maps to your highest-level hero. In the following paragraphs, we will show you the locations of the individual treasure chests. By the way, there are also special treasure maps available only to buyers of the Collector’s Edition of ESO.
