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 that swap chest[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. A hero polymorphed into a gelatinous cube cannot eat a swap chest either, but will not be instakilled [5]. Swap chests cannot be picked up by heros 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 kick back, dealing 10-14 physical damage to you[6] [7].
Eligible objects
The following objects can be placed into a swap chest[8]:
- All chargeable non-cursed rings with +1 or higher charge.
- All non-chargeable non-cursed rings.
- All wands with +1 or higher charge, except a wand of nothing or wand of wishing.
- All non-cursed amulets, except an amulet of strangulation, an amulet of restful sleep, or a fake Amulet of Yendor.
- All magical potions.
- Potions of holy water and unholy water.
- Expensive cameras, tinning kits and magic markers with at least 10 charges.
- Stethoscopes, empty oilskin sacks, bugles, tooled horns, and leather drums.
- All other chargeable tools with at least one charge.

- All other non-chargeable magical tools except magic lamps.
- Non-cursed silver sabers, silver spears, silver daggers.
- Non-cursed athames with enchantment no worse than -2.

- All non-cursed non-magical armor with enchantment +3 or higher.
- All non-cursed magical spellbooks that allow at least 2 more readings.
- All magical scrolls except scroll of amnesia and scroll of punishment.
- Royal jelly, wolfsbane, and tins of spinach.
The following objects cannot be placed into a swap chest:
- The Amulet of Yendor, which cannot be placed into any container.

- Any cursed ring, amulet, weapon, armor, or spellbook.

History
Swap chests appeared in the inaugural TNNT of 2018.
In 2022, swap chests were changed so that players cannot see or remove their own donated objects from the chest. Also in 2022, donated objects had a random chance of being sent to a different TNNT server. During the 2022 tournament, an exploit was fixed where cancelling a swap chest allowed repeated use of it[9].
In 2023, the distribution of objects between servers was adjusted so that objects are more likely to stay on their server of origin[10]. Also in 2023, there were adjustments to the eligible object list[11].
