Verification: Human verified

The Gold Chest is a gilded small chest in PickCrafter, with an unlock time of 10 hours or 50 Runic. Although this page is labeled for Fortnite Chest Tracker, the supplied record and source describe PickCrafter’s chest mechanic. Use the steps below to obtain a small chest, choose an opening method, and understand the Gold Chest’s rewards.

How to Obtain a Gold Chest

Gold Chests belong to the small-chest category. The wiki lists completing the “Next Chest” Common Quest and exploding Chest Creeps as ways to obtain small chests, but the supplied material does not specify how to guarantee a Gold Chest from either method. [src-dcbdaca5ff]

1. Look for the “Next Chest” Common Quest. Complete this quest as an available route to obtaining a small chest. The excerpt does not provide its objectives or the odds of receiving each chest type. [src-dcbdaca5ff]
2. Explode Chest Creeps when available. This is another documented source of small chests. Again, the material does not establish a guaranteed Gold Chest reward. [src-dcbdaca5ff]
3. Check the chest type you receive. Confirm that it is a Gold Chest before planning around the 10-hour timer or 50-Runic opening cost. Other small chests have different opening requirements. [src-dcbdaca5ff]

Step-by-Step Opening Guide

1. Choose Between Waiting and Spending Runic

A Gold Chest takes 10 hours to unlock through waiting, or 50 Runic to open at its full timer. Choose waiting if you want to keep your Runic; choose the paid option if access to the contents is worth that cost to you.

The material does not describe the interface, timer activation, or chest-slot restrictions, so it does not support a more specific sequence of button presses.

2. Account for Time Already Elapsed

Small chests can be opened for 1 Runic per 12 minutes remaining. This means the listed 50-Runic price corresponds to the Gold Chest’s full 10-hour wait; the remaining time matters when deciding whether to pay later. The source does not explain rounding for partial 12-minute intervals, so check the displayed cost before spending. [src-dcbdaca5ff]

3. Open the Chest and Review Its Contents

Once the wait is complete, or you use Runic to open it, review the rewards against the Gold Chest’s specific loot list below. Several entries have explicit chances, so opening a chest does not guarantee every listed reward category. [src-dcbdaca5ff]

Gold Chest Rewards

The Gold Chest section lists the following contents: [src-dcbdaca5ff]

The artifact entry combines a quantity, a percentage, and two rolls without explaining how those details interact. Treat it as the source’s stated reward description rather than assuming that two artifacts are guaranteed. [src-dcbdaca5ff]

The general chest description also mentions mythical blocks and gear, but the supplied Gold Chest loot list does not identify either as a specific reward. Use the Gold Chest table when assessing this chest’s documented contents. [src-dcbdaca5ff]

Tips Before Spending Runic

• Keep the pickaxe chance in perspective. At a listed 2%, a pickaxe is a possible bonus rather than a dependable result from one opening. [src-dcbdaca5ff]
• Check the remaining timer before paying. The small-chest opening rate depends on time remaining, making the current price more relevant than the full 50-Runic cost after some waiting. [src-dcbdaca5ff]
• Distinguish Gold Chest from Large Gold Chest. The Large Gold Chest is a separate chest that costs 150 Runic and opens immediately. Its price and reward list should not be applied to the small Gold Chest covered here. [src-dcbdaca5ff]
