Treasure Compass

Treasure Compasses are reusable gadgets that can be used to find nearby chests and are obtained through forging. There is currently one compass for each of the following regions: Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, Sumeru, Fontaine, and Natlan. Their diagrams are all obtainable from Reputation rewards in their respective nations: at reputation level 6 for Mondstadt and Liyue, at reputation level 9 for Inazuma, Sumeru, and Fontaine, and at max reputation level with 3 different tribes for Natlan.

Treasure compasses can be equipped through the Inventory and can be used after pressing the appropriate control. After using a treasure compass, light that streams toward the nearest chest, Time Trial Challenge, Seelie, or Monetoo in the vicinity will briefly appear, and said chest will be marked on the Map with an icon , or for the others. Only one thing can be marked at a time. The gadget then goes on cooldown for 30 seconds if something was detected, or 5 seconds if not. This cooldown is shared among all treasure compasses, and if something was detected, will be reset upon opening the marked chest or approaching the challenge/Seelie/Monetoo. If the compass is unequipped, the mark on the Map will be removed.

Unlike Oculus Resonance Stones, treasure chest compasses have unlimited uses.

Gameplay Notes[]

Treasure Compass gadgets can only be used in their corresponding regions. However, they may find chests located in neighboring regions if they are used in their regions while the closest detectable chest is in another region.

- The Geo Treasure Compass can be used in the The Chasm: Underground Mines map.
- The Electro Treasure Compass can be used in the Enkanomiya map.
- The Hydro Treasure Compass can be used in the Sea of Bygone Eras map.
The gadget range is not the entire range of the minimap; it is a sphere that has a fixed radius of detection. The radius of detection possibly changes depending on the rarity of the chest.
This gadget cannot be used during combat, while gliding or climbing, while jumping or falling, while being staggered, while using an alternate sprint (such as Mona's Illusory Torrent), or in Domains.
