Here is a Google Maps-like map of various Buried Lock Chest Hover over the green rings to see a thumbnail screenshot. The chest will be where the baby dolyak is during Sandstorm. Note that these are possible spawn locations, and only about 10-20 chests actually spawn (at random locations).

Here is a high-res album of chest locations screenshots. (Taken during bright daylight so you know where the landmarks are for future reference).

If you hate alt-tabbing then you can use this overlay app to view the map on top of Guild Wars 2.

Credit for locations: Alexei Maistruc (Prospect Valley) and Mattsta.Ninja (Uplands)

The site also has a live map and list of Dry Top events. You can click on the two stars on top of the clock area to auto-copy a chat link of current events to help people know what events are up and where to do them.

If there are chests missing on the map, you can help by clicking a spot on the map to get a coordinate (example: [5137, 16377]) on the bottom left corner then Ctrl+C and paste it here in this thread.

Missing chests that I know spawn in these approximate locations

Two in the quicksand
[5216.2999267578125, 16314.88003540039]
[5471.959899902344, 16287.049987792968]

One at the back of the mine
[5447.609924316406, 15928.790008544921]

On top of the mesa near the tent
[5239.789978027344, 16421.829986572265]

Behind the pulsing vine below the entrance waypoint
[5506.739990234375, 16720.089965820312]

Up at the top of the broken sail near chest 13
[5267.6099853515625, 16594.86996459961]

There are two up the top of the crash site near where Serene spawns. Hard to pinpoint those on this map though. One is on the way up shortly after the lightning jump but along past the mithril node and the other spawns right behind Serene’s location.

Two spawn on top of the ledges above chest 34
[5110.219985961914, 16744.439971923828]
[5131.959991455078, 16757.479949951172]
(very hard to pinpoint again because its a 3 dimensional map

Two spawns not shown near the frog cave. One is inside the cave, the other on the first ledge along from it (near where burgler sometimes spawns)
[4889.339996337891, 16656.609954833984]
[4904.1300048828125, 16545.309967041015]

One inside the Salamader cave
[5068.470001220703, 16459.219970703125]

One to the right of the entrance of Cornered instance but on a ledge above. You need jump crystal from across the other side to get there. Again hard to pin point due to now showing all the ledges.
[4931.079986572266, 16464.439971923828]

One overlooking the quicksand
[5147.5999755859375, 16307.04997253418]

One inside Explorer’s cave (at the back)
[5011.0899658203125, 16361.829971313476]

One at back of Centaur village
[5118.909942626953, 16239.519973754882]

Two near entrance to Centaur village
[4938.039978027344, 16257.779968261718]
[4992.8299560546875, 16280.38996887207]

One on top of some ledges near the start of the canyon.
[4882.389953613281, 15962.999961853027]

One up near skill point
[4374.559928894043, 15764.739967346191]

One on top of this rock in Oasis. Use jump crystal hidden in grass behind the rock to get up there.
[4202.389945983887, 16012.559959411621]

One on top of this rock ledge (jump to get there). There was also a lost coin up here.
[3918.909942626953, 16134.299949645996]

One here near the crash site #2
[4658.909934997559, 16371.689964294433]

There could be others but they’re the only ones I really notice as missing.

Why make sense, when it’s so much more fun to make nonsense?

Thanks a lot Lasica! I’ll add these locations with the tooltip containing your hints instead of a screenshot. I hope you were accurate as you can in pinpointing the map x,y coordinates; I know the verticality of the map makes it difficult, but knowing a more precise spot helps a lot.

Anyway, that is a lot of missing chests, thanks again.

FYI, Google Chrome on Windows 8.1 blocked the overlay download as malicious.

Useful maps, though. Thanks.

Hundreds of redditors use GW2Navi (the overlay app). I don’t know how your browser could’ve blocked it without unzipping the file first. Also, ArenaNet allows use of overlays.

The map page also has other features like JP and resource node locations, hope those’ll be useful for you too.

You can now share chest locations with other players by giving them a URL with chest numbers, example:
gw2timer.com/?chests=1,73,49,18,56,43

When a player goes to that URL, the site will pan to Dry Top and mark those chest numbers for him or her. Again, the format is to add a comma separated list of numbers after gw2timer.com/?chests=, or you can get the URL automatically in your address bar by clicking a chest number (green ring) on the map.

Go on and share the wealth!

@Exo
The resource nodes map show permanent rich metal and plant farm nodes. There are other rich nodes that don’t stay in one place so they aren’t included. If you find nodes that do appear often though, then please do give the coordinates.

The map is now 2 chests shy of a hundred locations. And with the next release, there’ll probably be plenty more. I’m actually going to recommend players to stop getting chests for now and save your keys until next release and see if better loot comes up. But if you’re still looking for fossil or kite though, then continue if you want.

There are five new events in Dry Top which were added in the Challenger Cliffs area:
(:00 :15 :30) Skritt Supplies, Escort Rustbucket
(:05 :20 :35) Collect Beetles
(:10 :25) Inquest Suit
(:40) Protect Eway

See these events in the live map
You can click the gold stars on the clock area top right corner to auto-copy a map chatlink of events.

Now there are over 100 chests on the map! I found a few in the new area and added them too. If you found more and want to contribute, then click an exact spot on the map to get a coordinates on the bottom left corner and Ctrl+C to paste it here and I’ll add them.

At (:55/:57) for Tier 5+, a Giant Beetle boss also spawns at the northeastern-most part of the Challenger Cliffs area. It’s east of Vine Bridge Waypoint [&BIYHAAA=] but at the new area (on a hanging cliff above it).

There’s also two mysterious “Slay the rare creature.” events by the Prosperity Waypoint according to the API. Has anyone encountered them?
