+!colspan=1|Cost || Chance || Notes
-*Otherwise, it will ask for an item or stack of items. Troves won't ask for items you can't use, with the exception of the [[horn of Geryon]], so other items become more likely. There are a number of possibilities, each individual item type being equally probable:<ref>{{source ref|0.30.1|dat/des/portals/trove.des|98}}</ref>
+|-
-**'''Armour (20% chance overall)''': It will ask for [[gold dragon scales|gold]], [[storm dragon scales|storm]], [[shadow dragon scales|shadow]], [[fire dragon scales|fire]], or [[ice dragon scales]]. The armour must be sufficiently enchanted as well; gold scales requests can range from +2 to +3, storm and shadow can range from +2 to +4, while fire and ice can range from +2 to +6.
+|Random [[Bane]] || 50% || Possible banes are [[bane of Paradox|paradox]], [[bane of Mortality|mortality]], [[bane of Multiplicity|multiplicity]], [[bane of Claustrophobia|claustrophobia]], [[bane of Stumbling|stumbling]], [[bane of the Dilettante|dilettante]], and [[bane of Lethargy|lethargy]].
-**'''Weapon (15% chance overall)''': It will ask for a [[demon trident]], [[demon whip]], or [[demon blade]], with required enchantments ranging from +4 to +8.
+|-
-**'''Potions (25% chance overall)''': It may ask for 8+2d3 [[potions of heal wounds]], 12+2d4 [[potions of curing]], 3+1d3+1d2 [[potions of haste]], or 2+1d3 [[potions of resistance]].
+|300% [[Ostracise|Ostracism]] || 12.5% || This results in the loss of all [[god]] abilities until sufficient [[experience]] is gained, after which ability usage will gradually recover. Cannot be chosen if the player worships [[Xom]], [[Gozag]] or no god.
-**'''Scrolls (25% chance overall)''': It will ask for 2+2d3 [[scrolls of blinking]], [[scroll of fog|fog]], or [[scroll of fear|fear]], 10+1d3+1d4 [[scrolls of teleportation]], or 1-2 [[scrolls of acquirement]].
+|-
-**'''Miscellaneous items (15% chance overall):''' It will ask for the abyssal [[rune]], the slimy rune, or the [[horn of Geryon]]. The runes will not be taken from you, but the horn will.

+Trove [[vault]]s have several items that are guaranteed to be usable by your character (and not hated by your [[god]]). Items are chosen from a set of specific themes.
 ==Strategy==
 First, remember that like other portals, you can only enter the treasure trove *once*. Do not go in with a full or nearly full inventory, or you'll have to leave stuff inside.
