Golden Mystery Boxes are unlocked after receiving the Foraging Mastery. They are similar to normal Mystery Boxes. They can be obtained in a variety of ways after receiving the mastery.

Golden Mystery Boxes can be cracked by Clint in the Blacksmith shop for data-sort-value="25">Gold.png25g, similar to Geodes. However, unlike Geodes, they cannot be broken open using a Geode Crusher.

Locations

The following table lists the different actions that can spawn a Golden Mystery Box.

The "Chance" column below indicates the probabilities that the game will attempt to spawn a Golden Mystery Box. When such an attempt is made, the game performs a further check to see if it succeeds. If the player does not have Foraging Mastery, the check will fail. Otherwise, the probability of succeeding is 75% if the player does not have the power obtained from the Book of Mysteries and 95% if they do.[1]

Also note that the chances of obtaining Golden Mystery Boxes from some of the sources depends on and increases with higher daily luck, and in some cases, with Luck Buffs.
