A swap chest is a special container in The November NetHack Tournament, added in 2018. It is never randomly generated, but there is a guaranteed swap chest in Mines' End and another in the Valley of the Dead. It allows players to exchange items between games. You cannot successfully wish for a swap chest except in wizard mode; doing so creates a normal chest instead[1].
In its initial state, you cannot remove objects from a swap chest; however, if the chest is empty, you can reveal that. You can place up to three objects into each swap chest, subject to restrictions (see below). Any object placed into a swap chest will be named to include the name of the player who donated it. Once you have placed an object into a swap chest, you can look inside and remove a single object from it. Once you have done so, you can no longer place objects inside[2]. Objects inside a swap chest will be fully identified.
Not removing an object from a swap chest constitutes the swap-chestless conduct in TNNT.
Swap chests cannot be locked[3] or probed[4]. Monsters cannot eat the swap chest, and will be instantly killed if they attempt it. You, however, can eat an empty swap chest if polymorphed into a gelatinous cube. Swap chests cannot be picked up by players due to their massive weight, but a tame nymph can carry it. Kicking a swap chest before removing an object from it causes it to deal 10-14 damage to you, ignoring half physical damage[5].
Eligible objects
The following items can be placed into a swap chest[6]:
- All non-cursed rings
- All charged wands other than a wand of nothing or wand of wishing
- All non-cursed amulets other than an amulet of strangulation, amulet of restful sleep or fake Amulet of Yendor. The real Amulet, of course, cannot be placed into any container.
- All magical potions, holy water and unholy water
- Expensive cameras, tinning kits and magic markers with at least 10 charges
- Stethoscopes and empty oilskin sacks
- All chargeable tools with at least one charge
- All other magical tools, except non-empty containers and unique items
- Non-cursed silver sabers, silver spears, silver daggers, or +3 or higher weapons
- All dragon scales, magical armor other than dunce caps, fumble boots or gauntlets of fumbling, and +3 or higher non-magical armor
- All non-cursed non-blank spellbooks other than the Book of the Dead that are fresh enough to be read at least one more time if you already know the spell
- All non-blank scrolls other than a scroll of amnesia or scroll of punishment
- Royal jelly, wolfsbane, and tins of spinach
Artifacts can never be placed into a swap chest.
