Chests are objects the party can find while walking around on a path. The player can either choose to open them or leave them. If the player opens them, they can find Gold, Grub, Game Tickets, or monsters (signified by purple smoke coming out of the chest). If a chest contains a Key Item, it will be automatically opened without player prompt. Chests are not placed at random. If a path is split, there may be chests on different routes.
Large variants of chests usually contain a piece of equipment corresponding to a random party member's job. However, if all available party members can no longer upgrade their equipment when the chest is opened, the player will either find G equivalent to the price of the equipment that would have been received, or 5 Game Tickets. If a stage has a chest above its marker when seen on the overworld, there is a possibility that a large chest can be found there (otherwise the stage merely consists of a series of regular chests). However, large chests can also be found in certain stages without the chest icon; for example, one non-"large chest" stage in Peculia contains three paths where two of them will lead to large chests, each depending on the path taken.
If there are multiple party members with the same job, and the player obtains equipment of that job, the player will be given a prompt to choose who gets the treasure first.
Chests can only be opened once, so empty chests will be automatically ignored upon being revisited.
