Talk:Water Chest

Glitch report
uh... i found another glitch with water chests i found one that generated in a basic underground cavern you might wanna change that

Bit more info about water chest bugs.
Recently I checked one of my freshly-generated world. Looks like water chests actually tend to spawn not only in ocean, but in any place with water - found one on the surface of Crimson. Here's the proof screen(even if no one gonna concider it as proof. Also, this chest got Godly Trident inside)- http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/8989/jbli.jpg --78.36.17.171 18:01, 30 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Just fixed the page.
 * Said it "can be found in pools of water, most commonly in the Ocean, and rarely underground."

Something odd happened to me.
I am doing a hardcore-like challenge with only one world and was looking desperately for Water Walking boots. I had already found 14Water Chests and was about to give up, when I suddenly find the rarest normalmode item(you know which one) (and the silliest normal mode item(you also know)) at the most unlikely place you can imagine. http://puu.sh/nJXXL/ca1829fc34.png The arrow of torches points at where the Water Chest was and now there is REALLY no water anywhere nearby. Does anybody have an idea how this happened? 87.178.78.155 17:24, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Does the Magic Conch appear in Water Chests or not?
i heard conflicting opinions on this, some say it does while others say it only appears in Sandstone Chests or Oasis Crates. Anzasquiddles (talk) 23:25, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

Ocean cave loot chance
Is there any confirmation that water chests in ocean caves have equal chances to have each primary item (that is, would water walking boots for example become a 1/6 chance as opposed to the usual 9/100 chance)? I can't find any info on it and I'm wondering where it came from. Stranded at sea (talk) 20:06, 1 March 2021 (UTC)


 * This information is based on the 1.4.1.2 source code, specifically the generation pass named "Water Chests" in Terraria.WorldGen.GenerateWorld. The for-loop there iterates over all previously determined spots of Ocean cave Chests, and in each iteration, each primary treasure item has a 1/6 chance to be picked. --Rye Greenwood (talk) 21:53, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
