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].
Beginning in 2022, various changes have been made to how the swap chest behaves:
- As an object is placed into the swap chest, there is an random equal chance of it staying where it is, or being moved to one of the other two TNNT servers. This will help ensure an even distribution of objects across all three servers.
- Objects placed inside the swap chest cannot be removed by the same player that placed it inside.
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.
