One of the twists in Hardcore Season 8 is a scavenger hunt! Scattered throughout the game are at golden chests that contain missing pieces of the hoard for Zazerbaxk, the Not Yet Terrible. A kobold that is looking to become a real dragon! (maybe, cause you know... kobolds). You'll know you found one if the chest is completely gold.
The hardcore vendor was to be giving us hints and what not, but is currently offline until the next update so we're searching blind!

- These were only available during Hardcore Season 8.
- Seven need to be collected to retrieve the Golden Footprints
