Phantom Hourglass has eight kinds of treasure: Pink Coral, Pearl Necklace, Dark Pearl Loop, Zora Scale, Goron Amber, Ruto Crown, Helmaroc Plume and Regal Ring. They are mainly there to be sold. Each kind is worth 50, 150, 800 or 1,500 Rupees, and the game fixes that price once for your save file. The Treasure Teller on Mercay Island is where you find out what each one fetches.

Where treasures come from
Treasures turn up in chests and pots, in shops, as rewards and from sunken chests. Shops, Beedle’s shop ship among them, can stock a treasure. Nyave hands over a large pile of them if you rescue him from monsters in the Southwestern Sea, and the sparring matches against Nyeve on the Traveler’s Ship in the Northwestern Sea can pay out treasure too. Which kind you get is down to the game, so no kind belongs to one spot. Treasure Maps #6 and #28 each raise a random treasure from the seabed; see Treasure Map Locations.
Selling to the Treasure Teller
The Treasure Teller’s shop is on the east side of Mercay Island, north of the shipyard. Hand him a treasure to be appraised and he names its price, which you can then accept or refuse. The value stays hidden until that first appraisal, so you cannot compare a treasure’s worth beforehand. He also deals in ship parts.
Treasure values
When the game builds your save it picks a value for each treasure type from 50, 150, 800 and 1,500 Rupees, so your Zora Scale may be worth far more than someone else’s. The one fixed price is the Regal Ring, which is always 1,500 Rupees. The Ho Ho Tribe, who sail in the Southeastern Sea, buy one particular treasure at a time, which changes at midnight on the DS clock, and pay a little more than the Teller does, so check them before you sell.
Trading treasures
Freedle’s boxes on Mercay Island swap treasures and ship parts with another player in Tag Mode or Battle Mode. This relies on a second DS, and Nintendo’s online service for the game has been shut down.
