Wiki / Arcane Caches
Arcane Caches — full drop tables and odds.
Arcane Caches are consumable items crafted via Spellcrafting (1× Upgrade Orb + 100× Mana of the matching tier). Opening a cache always gives a guaranteed drop plus a separate bonus roll. Any player can open any tier of cache — there is no zone gate. Certain passive items in your inventory are automatically consumed to improve the results.
Guaranteed drop (always)
One of the four options below is chosen at uniform random (25% each) every open.
20–30× Tier ore + 5× Salvage Material
The ore type matching the cache tier.
20–30× Tier herb + 5× Salvage Material
The herb type matching the cache tier.
20–30× Tier monster drop + 5× Salvage Material
The monster drop material for that tier's zone.
10–20× Salvage Material
Standard salvage material, usable in any recipe.
The Arcane Amplifier doubles all guaranteed drop quantities when present in inventory.
Bonus roll (one per open)
A single roll determines the bonus (odds below scale to ×0.75 of their original value — see the note below the table). At T18+, where every passive-item tier gate is unlocked, ~70.8% of opens receive a bonus and ~29.2% receive nothing extra; lower tiers see a bigger "nothing" share since the Compass/Amplifier/Void Lens/Cosmetic/Unique slices below aren't available yet at those tiers. Gold Find increases the gold amount when the Gold or Gold Jackpot slice hits; Item Find gives a separate, independent chance to reroll a "nothing" result once (stacks with Cache Compass's own reroll).
Gold
Scales with tier — see gold table below. Boosted by your Gold Find %.
XP Scroll
Random skill (7 options), same tier as cache.
Next-tier materials
10–20× ore, herb, or monster drop from tier+1 (equal odds).
Random gear piece
Smithing weapon, shield, chest, or legs, or Tailoring chest or legs (equal odds). Always +0. Helmet/gloves/boots never drop from caches.
Random potion (3–5×)
XP, ATK, or DEF potion matching the cache tier (equal odds). Quantity 3–5.
Random gem
Uniform T1 through cache tier. Void Lens narrows this to the top 5 tiers.
Same-tier Upgrade Orb
1× Upgrade Orb matching the cache tier.
Cache Compass
T5+ caches only. Passive item — auto-consumed on your next cache open to guarantee a bonus roll.
Arcane Amplifier
T10+ caches only. Passive item — auto-consumed to double guaranteed drop quantity.
Void Lens
T18+ caches only. Passive item — consumed when a gem drops to narrow the pool to the top 5 tiers.
Tier+1 Upgrade Orb
1× Upgrade Orb one tier above the cache.
Gold jackpot
5× the normal gold maximum. See table below. Boosted by your Gold Find %.
Cosmetic token
T10+ caches only — one of 6 ultra-rare cosmetic tokens.
Unique cache trinket
T5+ caches only — pool expands with tier. See cache-exclusive gear section.
Nothing
Shrinks with tier (~43% at T1–T4, ~34% at T5–T9, ~30% at T10–T17, ~29% at T18+). Cache Compass and Item Find (gear stat) each independently reroll this outcome once.
Passive cache items
These items sit in your inventory and are automatically consumed the next time you open an Arcane Cache. They are tradeable and stackable. You do not need to manually activate them.
Cache Compass
T5+ · 9% drop rate dropsGuarantees a bonus roll on that open. If the bonus roll still lands on nothing (unlikely on the second attempt), you receive a minimum gold payout instead.
Arcane Amplifier
T10+ · 3.375% drop rate dropsDoubles the quantity of the guaranteed drop (40–60 ore instead of 20–30, etc.). The salvage material floor is also doubled.
Void Lens
T18+ · 1.125% drop rate dropsWhen the 3% gem bonus roll fires, the gem is drawn only from the top 5 tiers of the cache (e.g. a T20 cache rolls T16–T20 gems only, not T1–T20). Only consumed if a gem drops.
If you have multiple of the same passive item, only one is consumed per cache open. All three can stack — you can use Compass + Amplifier + Void Lens simultaneously.
Cache-exclusive gear
Five unique trinket pieces are only obtainable from the 0.2% unique bonus roll. They equip in the trinket slot, are not upgradable, and are tradeable on the market. The pool expands as cache tier increases.
Forager's Totem
T5+ drops+20% double-gather chance
Doubles your chance to gather twice from any gathering activity. Stacks with ring/amulet bonuses.
Scholar's Seal
T8+ drops+30 XP per task
Flat XP bonus applied to every completed task. Stacks with other XP bonuses from accessories and enchants.
Gilded Sigil
T10+ drops+25% gold find
Increases all gold gained from combat and zone control by 25%. Stacks with helm enchants and other gold-find equipment.
Hunter's Eye
T12+ drops+20% item find
Increases the chance for bonus item drops in combat and zone control by 20%. Stacks with gloves enchants.
Arcane Effigy
T15+ drops+12 XP/task · +8% gather · +10% gold · +8% item find
A balanced mixed-bonus trinket combining modest versions of each unique stat. Best-in-slot if you value variety over a single focused bonus.
Cache Compass, Arcane Amplifier, and Void Lens (the three passive items) are also part of the unique pool at their respective tier thresholds — they share the 0.2% slot with the gear pieces above.
Ultra-rare cosmetic tokens
A separate 0.2% bonus roll on T10+ caches can produce one of the six tokens below, chosen at equal random. Tradeable. Using a token permanently grants the cosmetic — cannot be used again if already owned. Title unlocks are announced in world chat.

What caches cannot drop
The gear bonus roll draws only from Smithing weapon/shield/chest/legs and Tailoring chest/legs. Helmet, gloves, and boots never drop from caches (for either profession) — keeping those slots meaningfully craft-only. The following unique and skill-specific items are outside that pool too.
Worldbreaker
Unique weapon outside the standard gear tier structure.
Miner's Gloves
Unique world boss drop with a mining skill bonus.
Herbalist's Gloves
Skill-specific gloves with a herbalism bonus.
Blacksmith's Gloves
Skill-specific gloves with a smithing bonus.
Alchemist's Gloves
Skill-specific gloves with an alchemy bonus.
Jewelcrafter's Gloves
Skill-specific gloves with a jewelcrafting bonus.
Spellcrafter's Gloves
Skill-specific gloves with a spellcrafting bonus.
Tailor's Gloves
Skill-specific gloves with a tailoring bonus.
Invisibility Ring
Unique item that bypasses zone progression.
Gem drops are capped at the cache tier — a Copper Arcane Cache can only produce a Ruby (T1 gem). The Void Lens further narrows the gem range to the top 5 tiers of the cache, but does not raise the cap.

How to obtain
Craft via Spellcrafting — 1× same-tier Upgrade Orb + 100× same-tier Mana. Takes 60 seconds. Grants Spellcrafting XP.
Buy on the market — all cache tiers and special items are freely tradeable.
XP Scrolls
The 15% bonus roll picks randomly from seven skills: Combat, Mining, Gathering, Smithing, Alchemy, Jewelcrafting, Spellcrafting.
XP scales with tier: approximately 500 × 1.35^(tier−1) XP per use. Scrolls have a minimum level requirement and are tradeable. You do not need to be a spellcrafter to use them.
Lesser Arcane Caches
The cheap mana sink — no Upgrade Orb required.
A Lesser Arcane Cache is crafted via Spellcrafting for 200 Mana of the matching tier only — no Upgrade Orb, no herbs. It exists purely as a gold-and-materials sink for excess mana, so its loot table is intentionally thinner than the full Arcane Cache: no passive items (Cache Compass, Arcane Amplifier, Void Lens), no XP scrolls, potions, gear, gems, jackpots, cosmetic tokens, or unique trinkets.
Design target: a Lesser Cache averages out to roughly 1.1x the gold value of a same-tier Gathering work order (100 herbs turned in) — originally calibrated to 2x (crafting one costs 200 mana, double the "unit" a work order asks for), then cut twice after player feedback that it was paying out too much (30%, then another 20%).
Guaranteed drop (always)
Identical structure to the full cache — one of four options at 25% each. Never doubled (Lesser Caches don't interact with the Arcane Amplifier).
20–30× Tier ore + 5× Salvage Material
20–30× Tier herb + 5× Salvage Material
20–30× Tier monster drop + 5× Salvage Material
10–20× Salvage Material
Bonus roll (one per open)
~39.75% of opens receive a bonus; ~60.25% receive nothing extra (odds ×0.75 of their original value, same as the full Arcane Cache).
Gold
Scales with tier — see table below. Boosted by your Gold Find %.
10–20× same-tier material
Ore, herb, or monster drop (equal odds).
Same-tier Upgrade Orb
1× Upgrade Orb matching the cache tier.
Nothing
No Cache Compass equivalent, but Item Find (gear stat) still gives an independent chance to reroll this outcome once.
