  • Experience Points
  • Cruor

  • Silvery Light
  • Ebon Light
  • Higher-level temporary items
  • Notorious Monster pop items
  • Empyrean foot armor in Scars zones.
  • Augmented Equipment
  • Notorious Monster key items

The potential level of a colored pyxis is determined by the corresponding light of the player who dealt the final blow to the monster that dropped the pyxis.

  • Certain Abyssites (listed in the above table) will occasionally cause a chest to be a stronger than it would be normally.
  • Bastion in Scars zones and Dominion in Heroes zones can also cause chests to spawn stronger than they would normally.

It is possible to tell the relative power of a chest from the amount of cruor that you get from destroying it. (Although it is much easier to rest to examine the proper light.)
