There are several different treasure chests that can be opened through various means in the game. The possible rewards from every chest are listed at https://sfl.world/info/chests
The contents of the Keyed Chests change every Chapter, while the others do not change very frequently. As with all games of chance, it's important to have an open mindset when opening any chest. Even if you don't get the item you wanted, whatever you receive will likely be useful in some way, even if later.
The Basic, Rare, and Luxury Chests all require keys, which can be obtained through rewards in the game. Each key allows you to open the respective chest once. The rewards are definitely worth it, though, as you can get high-level items.
The Daily Chest is located on your farm, and requires a blockchain transaction to open. You can also access it from anywhere from the Earn/Rewards button near your Bumpkin's portrait. Follow the instructions provided to unlock it. You do have to pay a small amount of cryptocurrency to use it, but the total amount comes out to be something around $0.15 to $0.20 USD per month. Overall it is worth the expense.
There are three tiers to the Daily Chest, depending on the amount of expansions you have unlocked on your current island. There is no indication in the game of which “land level” you are currently on, but you can find out by looking at the "Expansion No" field at https://sfl.world/land/.
You can earn a streak bonus for opening the chest every day. Every fifth day (5, 10,15, etc.) you will get three times the amount of whatever reward was rolled for the day.
In addition to the randomly determined item, you will also get 1 of the current Chapter's Ticket for free.
The Pirate Chest requires you to have a Pirate Potion equipped on your Bumpkin or any of your Farmhands. The potion can be obtained from Old Salty, as a reward for making multiple deliveries.
The VIP Chest can only be opened if you have an active VIP status in the game. It is available on the first Monday of a calendar month, and can be opened once. For the first month of a new Chapter, the item given will be something that will be beneficial for the Chapter itself, such as a boost to a new resource or game mechanic. The second month will reward tools or resources, and the third will be a non-boosting decoration.
There is an additional chest you can unlock by owning a Bud and visiting the Clubhouse in the Plaza. Go there for more details.
The Treasure Key item unlocks the Basic Chest. It can be obtained from the following places:
The Rare Key unlocks the Rare Chest. It can be obtained from the following places:
The Luxury Key unlocks the Luxury Chest. It can be obtained from the following places:
The digging shop and Mark shop keys have a limit of one per day, but you can buy both in a single day if you want to.
Megastore keys have a cooldown period, which is different from the other two stores as you actually have to wait 24 hours from the time of your purchase, not just until the game resets at midnight UTC like the other shops.
The marketplace shop doesn't have a limit or wait period since Trade Points are harder to come by.
Keys may become available from special events and other sources as well, so keep an eye out!
The Basic Chest is located at the left side of the Plaza, just below Tywin, and to the left of the new animal shop.
The Rare Chest is located at the Beach, just above the lower exit to the Plaza.
The Luxury Chest is also located at the Plaza, in the far upper-right corner near Bert.
The Daily Chest is located on your Home Farm, on the roof of your house.
The Pirate Chest is located at the Beach, to the left of the dig site, near Old Salty.
The VIP Chest is located in the Plaza in the central up-down passageway, to the right of Stella's Megastore. It is also on your farm on a small island by itself. They are considered the same chest, and can only be opened once per month regardless of which you choose.
The Bud Chest is in the Bud Clubhouse in the Plaza.
Boxes are an additional way of earning free items, with a completely different set of tiers and requirements. Unlike chests, Boxes are opened as soon as you receive them for no cost. The potential contents of each one is also visible at https://sfl.world/info/chests.
Primarily earned from the Cooking Pot projects that you build on your farm, you can also get one of these by helping your friend complete one of their own Pots. They contain relatively good food items, from cakes and above. No Mashed Potatoes here, unlike a certain lucky cat…
These valuable bundles contain all kinds of useful tools for mining, fishing, and digging, and even some animal feed and medicine!
A grab bag of sorts, these could contain all sorts of items, including Coins, Gems, tools, or food. They are the only reward box that gives Love Charms, which can be used to buy… more Boxes! A Bronze Love Box will be rewarded once daily to all players who help solve the Love Island puzzle.
Like the name suggests, these contain the valuable FLOWER token. They can be traded for Chapter Tickets at Stella's Megastore, with a few restrictions.
In addition to the various ways of obtaining Boxes shown above, Food, Tool, and Love Boxes of all three tiers will periodically be available for sale at the Love Island Shop. Visit as often as you can to spend those Love Charms for a chance at great rewards.
Another way to earn a Reward Box is through the Wishing Well; a random box (including Flower) will be granted daily to players who hold a certain amount of value. This is a fairly involved process revolving around holding a position in a liquidity pool between USDC and FLOWER on the Base network. If those terms are unfamiliar for you, refer to the linked guide. Visit the Wishing Well in the upper-right corner of the goblin Retreat, or the Merkl LP Rewards button under the Earn/Rewards button in the upper-left corner.
