Marsh Cave Chests
Marsh Cave has 18 treasure chests across three floors. Visit during the Elfheim chapter to grab the Crown key item needed to progress the story. Three chests on B3 are locked and require the Mystic Key -- and all three contain monsters. Return for those after getting the key.

Notes
The Crown is on B3 in the 10th room -- this is the story objective for your first visit. Don't leave without it. Silver Armlet (DEF 15) is the biggest prize in the Mystic Key sweep here -- it's an all-classes armor piece with solid defense, useful for mages who can't wear heavier gear. Worth the extra trip back for it. Copper Armlet (DEF 4, 800 Gil value) is free here on B3 and equippable by all classes. Grab it for any caster who doesn't have better accessories yet. The Mystic Key rooms on B3 all contain monsters. They're manageable at any level where you'd be doing the Mystic Key sweep.
