Notes

Picking up and placing Treasure Chests on a Ship for the first time gives Emissary Grade Reputation to Trading Company Emissaries representing the Gold Hoarders or Reaper's Bones.
All Treasure Chests emit a White Glint from a distance.
Treasure Chests can be caught with a Harpoon.
Even though the chest Appears Barnacled, Selling it to the Gold Hoarders Does not Contribute to the Hoarder of Barnacled Gold Commendation Commendation.
