Clues

There are several different clue types to help you find your treasure!

• Map clue: Shows a map with a location you must go to, will not be super close to villages or in an enclosed area.
  • Right clicking the map and selecting the hint option will draw a circle on your ingame map with a general area to search, the area gets larger on harder clues.
• Deed Ruins clue: Works similar to the maps but will be focused on areas that past villages have existed.
  • Right clicking the map and selecting the hint option will draw a circle on your ingame map with a general area to search, the area gets larger on harder clues.
  • Will mark nearby disbanded villages on the map as well as the area to dig.
• Challenge clue: will give an area and some information about an item from a list of items to find.
  • Any guard tower that are not enclosed or near or in a village
  • Colossus that are not enclosed or near or in a village
  • Mission Constructed items that are not in caves/enclosed or near villages.
  • Will mention what map grid it is near, this becomes less precise the more difficult it is.
• Combat Challenges: when you try to dig up a location you may come across some creatures ambushing you which you must defeat before you can continue digging it up.
  • Will go into hiding again after 45 minutes if not yet killed until you come and dig again, then the same remaining creatures will ambush you again.
  • Creatures from this will drop no corpses but will give skill for fighting.

Digging Up Treasure

• Use a shovel on the ground and select the dig up treasure option which will check if any clues you have on you are at your location.
• Has some grace distance, you do not need to dig on the exact tile/item it picks just near it. This grace distance is even larger the easier the clue is.
• Some of the items found in treasure chests are only found this way and are not craftable any other way.
