Pathfinder 2E’s ‘Treasure Vault’ Adds a Dragon’s Hoard to the Game
The new Pathfinder Treasure Vault sourcebook is a 224-page tome crammed full of new weapons, magic items, and more.
Do you want a shield that turns you into a living comet? I certainly do, and that’s just one of the many new items included in the newly available Pathfinder Treasure Vault. This 224-page book adds more than 500 new items to Pathfinder 2nd Edition. Everything from new weapons and armor types, to new magic items that do all sorts of fiddly things.
Will these magic items and new weapons take the place of Pathfinder mainstays? Or will they be another weird weapon that you pick up when you feel like trying something different, but not optimal? That remains to be seen.
It’s a strange problem Pathfinder 2E has. There’s a lot to this game. Everything from agile weapons to parrying weapons and more. And a lot of it is finding the right combo of keywords to use for your character. It constrains certain characters in some ways—if you want to play a dual-wielder, for instance, there’s very much a mathematically recommended equipment list.
But the possibility of new items may just defeat the unbearable weight of optimal mathematics. Let’s take a look.
Pathfinder Treasure Vault
Pathfinder Treasure Vault reveals the glittering hoard of a terrifying dragon, as presented by the creature’s plucky kobold assistant. This 224-page hardcover rulebook presents a catalog of new gear from nearly every category of equipment and magic item available in the Pathfinder RPG while also introducing entirely new categories of items as well. Give your character the perfect tool for the job with signature weapons, customizable relics, and wondrous items to fit your every need while preparing for any eventuality with potions, elixirs, wands, and more!
Each chamber of the dragon’s vault contains a mountain of treasure, from deadly new weapons and forgotten suits of armor to mysterious alchemical items and deadly poisons.
- Nearly 600 new items spread across numerous equipment types.
- Over 50 new weapons, such as the devastating earthbreaker hammer and the ferocious falcata.
- New shields and armor, from wooden breastplates for druids to the magical starfall shield that turns you into a living comet!
- An entire chapter, “Alchemy Unleashed,” that introduces over 100 new alchemical items, covering everything from restorative lozenges to searing flamethrowers.
