		+
		+	<blue>There was a bug associated with Resplendent Chests that was causing them to drop the incorrect loot for their type. This was basically a holdover from prior to 2.0.1 where stacks of Nephalem Valor affected the loot that would drop from these chests, and unfortunately it was missed in the original 2.0.1 patch. Because it involves code that’s a little deeper than the surface, it’s not something we’re able to hotfix and will require a patch to address.

		+	Nevalistis: Pretty much this. We have a lot of fantastic folks working on this game, but ultimately they are all human, and this was a result of human error. For that, we apologize. We do our utmost to catch everything we can, but when things slip through the cracks, the best we can provide is as quick a resolution as possible. It’s why your threads, reports, and feedback are so important, and we can’t thank you enough for helping us track down these sneaky little buggers</blue>

-'''Resplendent Chests''' is the term for the shiny, glowing, big-dropping special [[chests]] found in Diablo III.  These chests are generally found in fixed locations on surface areas, and while their locations can vary in the randomly-generated dungeons, they are seldom fully random, but will generally be found in known locations; just past big bosses, in certain locations at the end of a level, etc.

-Resplendent Chests are visually distinct from normal chests, and drop considerably more items. It's not yet known how the math works on such objects -- do they drop higher quality items, or just more items?
+[[Cursed Chests]] and [[Cursed Shrines]] reward players with 1 or 2 special chests, but those are [[Radiant Chest]]s, which glow whitish-blue and drop better than plain chests, but well below the quality or quantity of Resplendent Chests.
-In [[Patch 1.0.5]] Resplendent Chests were improved further in [[Inferno]] difficulty.  Since that patch opening a chest will grant one stack of [[Nephalem Valor]] and loot will be affected by how many stacks of Nephalem Valor the player has when they open the chest

+Even with that randomness, there are some areas of the game where a golden chest appears every game, or as part of various events and quests in any game they spawn in. Most side dungeons with two levels have a golden chest on the second level, usually fairly near the obelisk that teleports characters back to the dungeon entrance.
