M — can come with a Mythic bonus; the tier depends on the slot. R — can come with a Reaper Enchantment.

Every chest in this area shares one set of treasure tables, so these rates are the same wherever you open one. Reaper adds 1% per skull to the roll that opens a named table, so a gated item moves less than a full point.
