- DigitalTQ lists treasure chest tiers of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1,000, each worth 10,000 XP.

What 1,000 chests gets you anyway
Every chest is a roll at the weekly reward pool. After 1,000 chests the chance of at least one weekly pickaxe or back bling is about 82%, a Jam Track about 92.2%, and Pirate Shop Access 0.7%. Full table: Fortnite chest drop rates.
Tracking your way to 1,000
The chest tracker has a 1,000-square grid, one square per chest, so you can see your progress at a glance. Season pace: about 29 chests a day.
