How to loot a treasure chest:
Target it. If you have trouble targeting it, type: /target treasure, or just /tar trea.
Open it. Type /open. You can also smash it for a long time, but opening it really is much smoother.
Loot it. If right-clicking doesn't work well, you can re-target and type /loot.
There are different types of treasure chests.
The two most important are "Regular Treasure Chests" and "Legendary Treasure Chests".
Treasure chests can generally only spawn when the target NPC is defeated in non-trivial instance.
Regular Treasure Chests come in different sizes.
Small (Tier 0-2), Normal (Tier 3-4), Mighty (Tier 5+)
Regular Treasure Chests come in different qualities. Chests of the same size have the same or very similar loot tables. However, chests of higher quality have a higher chance to drop loot, or drop the "good" loot.
Malachite (lowest), Jasper, Amber, Topaz, Sapphire, Ruby Diamond, Blue Diamond, Pink Diamond (highest)
For every class, there is one specific chest, which contains spells, tombs, Mythstones and and other suitable items, for that class in addition to the regular loot of the chest.
A "Hard Mode Treasure Chests" always appear when defeating a boss NPC in (hard-/hard/hard+) mode. It contains an "Invaluable Coin", which increases faction with Token merchants in Plane of Knowledage. Hand the "Invaluable Coin" to Cloe or Walter. These chests drop both, in group- and in solo-instances (except Tier 1 solo-instances).
Legendary Treasure chests are NPC specific. They generally drop 1 or 2 legendary items. Tier 7 and higher legendary treasure chests may also contain an additional random rare-drop-item, Tokens of Legendary Might of even a Reliquary.
Mighty Legendary Treasure Chests generally contain more items than regular legendary treasure chests and may also have additional items, such as rank 2 spells. They have a small chance to contain a mythical item.
Mythical Treasure Chests contain items of the highest quality, which may include rank 3 spells and mythical items.
The size and quality of the treasure chest is defined by the following factors:
The event / NPC who spawns it. Tier 0 always spawn Small Malachinte Treasure Chests. In higher tiers, the event / NPC defines the base of the treasure chest. The higher the tier, the higher the base. Tier 1 and 2 can spawn different types of small treasure chests.
The difficulty mode of your instance. If you scroll down to Group-Instance Chests or Solo/Duo-Instance Chests, you find a table.

Above table is a slight simplification. Here is an exact example of Vox and Nagafen.
Trivial : no chest
Easy- : Small Malachite
Easy : Small Jasper
Easy+ : Small Amber
Normal- : Small Topaz
Normal : Small Topaz + Small Jasper
Normal+ : Small Topaz + Small Amber
Hard- : Small Sapphire + Small Amber + Hard Mode
Hard : Small Sapphire + Small Topaz + Hard Mode
Hard+ : Small Sapphire + Small Sapphire + Hard Mode
The logic for all other targets is the same.
Example 1: For Venril Sathir, Trakanon, Vox' Sister: Remove "Small".
Example 2: For Seru, Emperor: Replace "Small" with "Mighty".
Example 3: For Innoruuk: Shift the quality up by one for all chests, Malachite -> Jasper, Jasper -> Amber, etc.

Various boss NPCs can spawn NPC-specific Legendary treasure chests which contain bonus loot, usually in the form of legendary items. These chests can also contain spells, tokens and reliquaries.
Legendary items are copies of "regular" items but come with a minimum of HPs, Mana, Endurance, depending on their Tier (e.g. 140 for Tier 6) and an additional augmentation slot of type 6 for weapons or type 15 for other items. Legendary weapons often have improved proc rates (150 instead of 100%). Legendary items with a click-effect sometimes have the cast-time of the effect reduced.
Boss NPCs can have none or up to three different chests (Legendary, Mighty and Mythical/Ancestral). If a treasure chest appears and which one it is, depends on the difficulty mode, the rarity of the chest and bit of luck.
Many chests have a rarity of "common", which means if the NPC is defeated the difficulty mode "Normal" or above, a Legendary Treasure chest appears. If defeat in a lower mode, the chest may or may not appear.
When an NPC has access to multiple treasure chest types, there's a chance for the superior variant, the Mighty Treasure Chest, to spawn. This likelihood increases as the difficulty mode rises. Typically, a reasonable chance begins at Hard-, while Intense mode offers a significantly elevated probability of encountering it.
Rarities:
Rare chests are only guranteed Intense mode
Uncommon chests are guaranteed in Hard- and above
Common chests are guaranteed at Normal and above
Tier+ chests always appear from Normal- upward and are typically linked to NPCs one tier above the instance
Tier++ chests are guaranteed from Easy+ and are usually tied to NPCs two tiers above.
Tier+++ chests are guaranteed from Easy and are usually tied to NPCs three tiers above.
Below table shows all NPCs who can spawn legendary treasure chests.
Example:
The Fabled Lord Nagafen (common : 2)
This means:
common: If defeated in Normal or above a Legendary tresure chest is guaranteed
2: This NPC has a total of 2 possible treasure chests. The chances for the Mighty Treasure chest are slim in Normal and get higher with every increase of difficulty mode. They are very high on Intense.
