Do you need to have a shovel or does a pick ax work?

With 100 mining do i need to be right on the exact spot or can i be off a little bit?

You can use either a pick axe or a shovel but many players use a shovel (Perhaps for RP purposes). If you have mining, you can dig away from the central point and still dig up the chest but mining is not a requirement in a treasure hunter template.

Many people have dedicated resources to create a rune library for treasure map spots. Several programs also exist that will tell you the exact spots so it's up to you. If you're looking to have some fun and be a real treasure hunter, then I would suggest trying to find the haul without using third party helping tools or resources.

Map only needs to be opened to find the spot. If you click the closed map once, you should get a pull-down menu saying "dig for treasure". Your treasure hunter needs adequate cartography skill to dig the chest up (The amount necessary depends on the map level).

This source should provide accurate details I may have left out:

Good luck in your search.

Weird, on other shards (not OSI, mind you) I've always had to use a shovel to dig it up.

I think mining helps in digging up like 3 tiles away from the treasure chest, so if you don't have mining you need to dig up the exact tile where the treasure is.. I could be wrong here, anybody want to clarify?
