I found today when I ran into my first Fae Chest in my abeyance realm that I couldn't harvest it with an ax or pick, which seems to be a change? Not exactly welcome, as it made sense for the thrifty adventurer to take everything. Or it isn't saying I need a better tool.
Hey there! Moving this to the bug board as it sounds like it could be a bug. If you have a screenshot of the chests as well as your F2 screen that'll be a great help so we can chase down where it is. Cheers! - Steph
I've since found (playing in 3rd person) that you can break the fae chests, but they are really hard and finicky to hit the hitbox correctly.
