The crystal chest

The Crystal chest is the unofficial name of a treasure chest in Taverley that is famous for containing dragonstones, among other things. The chest is locked and can only be opened by a Crystal key. The crystal key is made up of a loop half of a key and the tooth half of a key; you can acquire the Crystal key by using them with each other. The crystal key sells for more than most of the rewards, making it more monetarily satisfying to sell the key. When the key is used it disappears, so opening the chest is a gamble. Some times the chest will award more than one of these rewards, so you can end up with multiple amounts of the reward.

Attempting to open the chest without the crystal key yields the message: "This chest is securely locked shut."

Contents and value analysis

The chest loot always includes an uncut dragonstone and will normally include another random reward, but not always. Below are the values of the chest's contents, based on current Grand Exchange prices. Most times you have a 9 out of 16 chance to make a profit, or a 56.25% chance, however this can fluctuate due to the price of the crystal key. A Ring of Wealth now increases your chances of getting a better drop since it got updated. The frequencies below are based on a batch of 3,354 keys. It is only possible to obtain Rune Platelegs if you are a male character, and Rune Plateskirts if you are female character. These tests were done on a male character, and there were no Rune Plateskirts received. Tests on a female character have shown Rune Plateskirts as a reward. It is a common misconception that you can obtain a Crystal Shield or a Crystal Bow from the chest. The chest does not contain either of these items, as they are a quest reward.
