So the other day I was messing around, doing unsynced runs of Binding Coils, I got bored and decided to veer off the main path and discovered that for whatever reason there is a treasure chest hidden away in Coils Turn 1

I went and redid the raid like 10 times and as far as I can tell the only thing that this chest ever drops is Potions and Elixers, which seems odd because I could have sworn that the 5.3 Patch notes said that they removed all the chests in the game that only ever had Potions in them.

Weirdness aside, I cheesed my way through the fight with the ADS and Twintania by making them enrage and then got to work on second coils.

I fully expected to get spanked by Second Coil Turn 4, but on my way there I decided to do some exploring. Not only did I learn that there is a third floor In 2nd Coils Turn 3 but it turns out there is another one of these chests that contain nothing but X-potions and Elixers here as well.

As far as I can tell these are the only two chests like this in the game. They have no boss associated with them they are just hidden away in a completely out of place location within the mini-dungeon that most of the Binding Coils raids have. Were these left alone as an oversight when 5.3 removed the potion chests from old ARR content? Or do they have like a .00001% chance of containing super secret rare loot?

I guess this leads in to an opportunity for me to segue to another Coils related Gripe, can we like go back to having these silly mini-dungeon raids? I miss them a lot and Modern raids being a gauntlet of Glorified EX Trials is kinda lame. These 8-man Not!Dungeons with extra high difficulty are really comfy and fun. I say I miss them but I started playing in Shadowbringers lol

On the off chance that these were in fact forgotten about do I get a prize for pointing it out?
