Gold Chest

The Gold Chest is a naturally-generated Chest. It is identical to the standard Chest, but is generated on world creation in random locations, and cannot be crafted. Gold Chests contain various loot, including coins and other items. They are found in the Underground, Cavern, Underground Jungle, and in the Dungeon. Gold Chests found in the Dungeon 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 Pickaxe, like other Chests. It can then be picked up, placed, and used just like a standard Chest, with 40 slots of storage space. They can also be sold to an NPC for (the standard Chest only sells for ).

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

Loot
The loot for any given chest is determined by the location in which it is found. Each chest contains a single "rare item" and an assortment of randomly chosen common items. The rare item is first placed in the chest, then each "set" of common items is checked to see whether or not it will be added. If a set is chosen to be added, a single item from the list is added to the chest.

Sets are displayed in the list below divided by horizontal borders. For example, the Wooden Arrow and the Shuriken both reside in the same set, so they will never both appear in the same chest.
