So I ran into one of these while up top right by the start to the last bridge to Ordos' Temple. I clicked on it and it gave me wings and a buff and shot me really high in the air. All around me appeared treasure chests on little platforms. I failed at getting to one so no idea what they have inside but I'm going to wager some more timeless coins.

I went back up and it was still there. I got 2 of the chests this time. Chest 1: 13 x Lesser Charms 121 x Timeless coins Chest 2: 14 x Lesser Charms 113 x Timeless coins

It also gave me the Extreme Treasure Hunter achievement, which requires one to loot the Gleaming treasure, the Mist-Covered Treasure, and the Rope-Bound Treasure Chest. This is the MCTC as I had already looted the other two.

I clicked it for the first time and nothing happened just a button for goodbye, i wasn't in a raid or in queue for anything and didn't have any special effects or buffs on...

Kommentar von Zofis

Seriously, does anyone have any idea what's up with this? It will not work for me.

Kommentar von Pinkiepieisfly

I just did this and I'm going to list a couple of things here, so someone else doesn't do what I did:

The treasure chests do contain several hundred coins, I looted 3 before my buff wore off. I didn't know what happened at first, so that's why I was only able to get 3 and not up to 5, I'm estimating.

The crane statue shoots you way up high and gives you about a 1 minute slowfall buff and allows you to loot these treasure chests if you aim slowly and land on a platform holding one. With that said, this buff will fall off, the platforms will disappear and you will come falling down -- or I did.

I was on my priest, so I levitated, but I landed on Ordos's mountain top again where I met a nice elite. There was nothing I could do about that, since even if I hadn't landed there, I would have still aggroed the elite and he probably would not have evaded immediately. Thus I most likely would have died despite levitate-spamming, since it would have continued to hit me and break it.

It also let me click this, retrieve the buff and go onto my treasure collecting ways, but it didn't let my boyfriend. He was right next to me and was unable to receive any kind of thing for this, so I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't miraculously work for you. Also be sure to have something to break the fall damage in case this doesn't go as intended for you.

I don't know if this is supposed to work as it currently does, but I'm just going to write this anyway in case it saves someone else from experiencing a death similar to when I try to flip pancakes.

Did this today and got three chests. If possible you want to end up near the Firestorm Eggs, so you can get that one for the Achievement.

Big Note: Once you have done this, you will not see the statue. I did it today and later saw many people standing where the statue was, shoot into the air, however there was no statue that I could see.

Will update this once I check if there is a daily or weekly timer on it

## UPDATE: Day two, still no sign of the statue. It is either a once off or weekly, will update next week. A lot of people standing around where it should be and then random people running in and getting zapped up. I believe it only appears for first use and is then phased out

I think you have to do the other weekly chests before this comes available:

From: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1328815-In-depth-Timeless-Isle-Hidden-Chest-Guide

The first weekly chest is the far eastern one, out on the pirate ship: Gleaming Treasure Satchel. You will need to clear out the pirates on the ship, and this could be difficult if you are heavily undergeared since they pull in packs of 3-4 and have a few million HP each, so I really just recommend avoiding this chest if you don't have the gear - there's nothing worth dying for. Additionally, this is also the hardest platforming one, in my opinion at least. Head to the area with the ship's wheel (and captain, possibly) and walk up the piece of rope on the right-hand side (you can probably use the left-hand rope if you're a Gnome or Goblin). Near the end of the rope, you must jump to the mast and walk across it to the Satchel. The jump from the rope to the mast is the hardest part - you will always overshoot if you do it at the very end of the rope, so go to the end of the rope, stand like 5-10 yards back, and jump for it. Alternatively, you can go to the end of the rope, and attempt to just walk off it and land on the mast. This is still tricky though.

The next two chests involve running up into the Firewalker Ruins/The Blazing Way areas repeatedly.

For the first one, Gleaming Treasure Chest, head up into the Firewalker Ruins and take an immediate left after heading through the arch - look out over the cliff and you'll see a series of pillars. Stay on your mount and jump carefully from pillar to pillar. You need the speed boost from your mount to make the jumps, and they're actually fairly simple if done while mounted. At the end, loot the chest and jump down.

For Rope-Bound Treasure Chest, head back up into the Firewalker Ruins, proceed through it and across the bridge into The Blazing Way, and right before the next bridge, look to your right and you will see a series of ropes. Drop down to the large "peg" that the highest rope is tied to and begin your tightrope walk! I have an image walkthrough in the comments on the chest's WoWDB page, so check that out for a much better look at what you have to do.

Once you do the three above, the statue should become active.

Here are some extra details on this chest and some coords to help you get all of them, also from the same link above:

Code:
/way 54, 47.2 Drop from hanging ropes
/way 49.8, 69.4 Hop across pillars
/way 70.6, 81 Climb pirate mast

This is where the fun and games come in! You need to get the other "puzzle" chests first in order to open this "game". The other chests will be shown as icons on your mini map.

Gleaming Treasure Chest.
Start at 51, 73 and jump from pillar to pillar. If you suck at jumping, try riding a friend like a druid or obsidian nightwing or having a priest leap of faith you.

Rope Bound Treasure Chest
Fun! Walk across the ropes! If you're good, you can run but I found walking to be the easiest. Start at 60, 45 and just walk across the rope. I turned my camera stright down. When you come to another rope under you, drop down onto it and go to the right. Next rope, drop down and go left. Then drop onto the pillar with the chest.

Mist-Covered Treasure Chest
Once you've done both of those you can go to the Gleaming Crane Statue at 58,60 to click it and fly! The chests are on little discs floating in the air, circle around until you land on one and loot it. I've managed to get 4 chests in one trip. Speed effects do work while in the air. Once your buff drops the discs disappear and you lose your wings but you get a lingering buff that prevents falling damage.

You earn the achievement Extreme Treasure Hunter once you loot your first Mist-Covered Treasure Chest up in the air.

The treasure on the pirate ship is fun but it is not require to activate the crane statue or for the achievement. Oh yes, BEFORE looting any mist covered chests in the air, feel free to fly around! I was able to fly over to the little plateaus in the area to loot eggs and Ordo supply boxes! Then I went back and used the crane again. The crane statue remains active until you loot a chest. I would hazard a guess these are a weekly respawn as it is not daily.

Update Once you've done the initial achievement you no long have to "activate" the statue by getting the other treasures first. It will show up as an event on your mini map, marked by a pair of crossed swords. You can use speed boost abilities to fly faster between platforms, however, the buff sometimes bugs out and instead of floating forward you simply float straight down after looting the first chest. If you pop a glider, make sure to wait until the buff has fallen off, or the new "falling" buff will over write your glider.

The best way to get a lot of chests is to try and land first on one of the highest ones, so that you have lots of opportunity below you for subsequent platforms.

Do what pilots do - pick one of the high ones, and "circle" it until you get low enough to land. And when going from platform to platform, always "jump" as you take off, to give yourself a little higher trajectory.

Kommentar von OldWolf2

The statue does not become active until you have gotten the other two chests.

Kommentar von Kopac

is this weekly one too?

Kommentar von dillybar

"WHERE IS THE STATUE? IS IT UP ON THE BRIDGE OR ON THE GROUND?"

I've seen this question several times now in general chat, so here is the answer. The statue is at 59.60, which is up on the series of bridges, or to be more precise, the ledge near the hard right turn you make as you cross the final intact bridge towards Ordon Sanctuary.

Be ready, as soon as you click you get tossed way up in the air, and you get wings, and you try and time your freefall to hit one of the platforms with the treasure chest.

Open the chest, achievement is yours, you cuss about how few coins you get, then jump off again, I wasn't able to get to a second chest, not sure if you can or not.

UPDATE!

I was able to get to three chests. The key is to float in and use the mouse to position yourself directly overhead then circle as hard as you can onto the platform, open chest fast, then jump off in the direction of the next chest. Repeat. I might be able to get 4 if I'm a little quicker, but I don't know, I'll update if I do.

Wanted to add:
Similar to the celestial buff shrines - this Gleaming Crane statue has a reset timer. Doing this while grouped, I've found the timer to be somewhere around 5-15 minutes, although this may be incorrect, as I don't have that much data to judge from.
When you get shot up into the air you have more than enough time of slow fall to plan out your route to maximize the loot.

Kommentar von TGFseb15

Something interesting I've noticed, if you activate the statue but don't land on any pads or loot any chests, you can use it again and it will launch you into the air again. I found this out by activating the statue and at that moment Huolon spawned, I decided to forget about the chests and go after him instead. Later when I have returned, I could use the statue again and do the chest collecting mini game. It is possible that the statue can be used multiple times to get across the bridge if you don't have the legendary cloak as long as you don't loot any chests in the sky.

Can someone else confirm?

Kommentar von LordMateius

I don't bother to complete this chest until late Monday, as I find using the launch feature in conjunction with a Goldener Gleiter allows you to access literally anything on the entire Isle in an extremely efficient manner.

Rolo's Riddle? You can easily land right next to the chest.
Garnia? Just fly into the red lake.
Ordon Sanctuary? Grants you easy access to the Flaming Chest without causing aggro on anything (depending on how well you fly).
The Albatross chests on the hillocks next to the two Landings? Who needs an albatross when the glider takes you right over (and possibly past them if you're not careful)?

Frankly, I don't know why more people don't know this trick.

Today I was able to activate the statue even though I haven't gotten the Rope-Bound Chest yet. I did get the Gleaming Chest. I also have gotten the big burning one, and possibly Blackguard's Jetsam (had a warrior tanking for me on my first terrifying trip, so details are fuzzy), if that may make a difference. Otherwise, all I have been getting is a handful of moss-covered chests, mostly when I'm cowering away from a death adder or fifteen tigers.

tl;dr--Used the statue after only getting the Gleaming Chest but not the Rope-Bound one.

Kommentar von 1263111

I experienced a wierd bug with this statue today.

It worked perfectly well for the first platform landing & chest looting.
I then jumped off, aimed for the next platform, and sprialled around until I landed on it.

At that point, instantly all of the platforms (includng the one I was standing on) vanished from sight, leaving me standing approx 50 ft high in the air on nothing.

It makes you wonder whether the platforms are actually there all the time... but are "stealthed" and only become visible when the crane statue is activated.

Here's a pic for evidence : http://oi58.tinypic.com/2009v1s.jpg

If you are queued for a dungeon/raid/scenario, and it pops while you're up in the air, it's best not to enter until you're on or near the ground unless you have a slow-fall or levitate to save you when the instance is over.
When you exit the dungeon/raid/scen, the Kranichschwingen buff will be gone, and you'll just fall.

Kommentar von Nightpawz

You can also use this Crane statue buff to toss you up in the air, then pop a glider and land outside Ordos' Temple (over the broken bridge). You can then kill the elite mobs outside, but if i enter the Temple I still get teleported out with the message "Without the protection of the Celestials you are forcibly ejected from Ordos' temple!".

Kommentar von courf

Riding a druid as a mount was mentioned for getting the treasures required for this, but I haven't seen it mentioned for using the crane statue itself so I thought I'd add on. Mounting typically does not work when using the statue, but druids can maintain their forms --- including travel AND mount forms. So if you're with a druid friend, and you're riding on their back, not only do you not need to click on the statue, you don't even need to have unlocked it via the other treasure puzzles. As long as they use it while you're riding on their back, you can travel with them.

Kommentar von Xlsfd

You can use this statue to get over the broken bridge to Ordos' Sanctuary even if you didn't do the Legendary Cloak questline when it was available.
