Gold Chest

The Gold Chest is a Storage item. It is identical to the standard Chest, but it can only be generated on World creation, and can not be crafted. Gold Chests can contain large sums of coins and other items. They are found in the Underground, Cavern, Underground Jungle, on Floating Islands, and in the Dungeon. Floating Island and Dungeon chests are always locked, and require one Golden Key each to open.

Removing all items from a Gold Chest allows it to be freed with a Hammer. It can then be placed and used just like a standard Chest, with 20 slots of storage space (again, the same as a standard Chest). They can also be sold to an NPC for 10 (whereas the standard Chest will only sell for 1 ).

Gold Chests are gold-colored and have a sparkle effect, shining when exposed to a light source, similar to Coins.
