Treasure Generator

Use this tool to generate treasure to stock a dungeon with. Input the total amount you want to distribute below. The generator will recursively split this up and distribute it among various coin denominations, gems, and art objects. The denominations you use to input the total value have no effect on the resulting coin types.

How much treasure should I generate?

Here's a rule of thumb procedure:

• Determine the average level of your party. Alternatively, pick a difficulty for the dungeon level you wish to stock. We call this value L.
• Find the XP required for the Fighter level L + 1.
• Multiply that XP value by 5, and use that as the total value for treasure in silver, or whatever coin denomination represents XP in your game.
• Put the various generated hoards and treasures into different rooms in your dungeon.

The default example below uses 10k silver, which is 5x of 2000. That's the XP requirement for a fighter of level 1. So that's a good amount to distribute for a first level party, or on the first level of a dungeon, assuming you use silver as XP.
