-Most trove [[vault]]s have 15-16 items, tailored for your character using [[acquirement]] code. These items will always be usable and not forbidden by your [[god]]. Many troves have a 'theme', like [[armour]] or [[jewellery]]. While items are tailored on your skills, an unarmed fighter could still find a [[weapon]] trove (though are 33% as likely to), and melee fighters can enter a book trove (where they will find plenty of [[manual]]s). Most layouts are perfectly safe, though two rare layouts prove dangerous:

 ==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.

-[[File:Treasure trove portal.png]] A '''treasure trove''' is a small sub-[[branch]], filled with likely character relevant loot. A trove can spawn a single time almost anywhere, but require a special critera in order to be opened. Troves do not decay over time, but like many portals, can only be entered once until it is sealed forever.

-For items with enchantments, the trove asks for minimums; a +6 demon whip will fufill a +4 demon whip trove. Item [[ego]]s are ignored, and even  [[artefact]]s will be accepted. No other item type is accepted, even if they are 'superior'. For example, a +6 [[eudemon blade]] does not substitute a +6 demon blade. The item being given must be unequipped in order for it to be accepted, to prevent accidental sacrifices.

 The cost of a trove has no bearing on the quality or type of items you will find inside.
