Xu-Fu's Treasure Hunt FAQ

Xu-Fu's Treasure Hunt is back to celebrate the launch of The War Within!

Read on to learn more about the treasure hunt and all the prizes available!

1. Introduction

The TLDR is very simple: find treasure, win prizes!

Between August 18 and August 25 (23:59 GMT), just in time for the new expansion, you can find coins and many other items or events on strategy pages.
They are placed on strategies like this ------>
There are also other things you can find scattered across strategies, not just coins! Magic portals, abandoned chests and more.
Whatever it is you find, hover over it with your mouse to find out what it does.

2. The Treasure Vault

What to do with all those coins that you can find? Well, it is the year of the dragon, but hoarding them in your account won't help towards any prizes.
Instead, head over to your trusty Treasure Vault where you can use your coins and more.

2.1 The Magic Portal

Your vault has a built in magic portal! You can use it once every 24 hours to find something great. Perhaps. It's magic, so don't expect any wonders. Wait that doesn't make sense...
Anyway, good luck! (for reals, nothing bad can happen through the magic portal)

2.2 Manage your warriors

Warriors are used to... liberate... chests that are protected by pesky defenders. In the vault you can hire new warriors, train them to increase their power level, and heal defeated Warriors.
You can upgrade Warriors up to 100 power level with coins or treats. Beyond that, only winning battles against other warriors of similar power level can strengthen them, up to a maximum of 200 power!

2.3 Donate to Sir Finley's cause

Finally, some real talk about treasure! To enter into the prize draw, all you have to do is donate coins. All coins given by the community are counted together to unlock prizes. Those will then be raffled out among all participants, with each coin counting like a raffle ticket! The more coins you donate, the higher your chances for a prize :-)
And these are the prizes you can look forward to:

• 50,000 coins: Brightpaw

• 150,000 coins: Cinder Kitten

• 300,000 coins: Sunwarmed Furline

• 500,000 coins: Vulpine Familiar

• 750,000 coins: Shadow and Twilight

• 1,000,000 coins: Wonderous Wavewhisker and Nether-Gorged Greatwyrm

• 1,500,000 coins: A The War Within Epic Key

2.4 Check your game activity

At the bottom of the treasure page you will find a log of all your activity in the Treasure Hunt, showing the last 48 hours. Check back here if anything is unclear and you will see exactly what happened.

3. Attacking Chests

If you come across a chest, you can try to grab it!
Chests are always protected by a warrior that you need to defeat first.

Each Warrior has a clearly visible power level which plays an important role in their chance of winning a battle.
When two warriors clash, the fight happens automatically with a clear winner and loser. After the attack, you will see a report of how the battle played out.

Interested in the nitty gritty details? Read on. Otherwise, skip this section, it's just a bunch of maths :D

3.1 How battles work

Battles are fought in rounds. In each round, both warriors roll the dice. The "size" of the die is determined by the power level of the weaker warrior. For example, if one warrior has 50 and the other 30 power, they will both roll a 30-sided die (a D30). The lowest possible roll is a D5, even if the weaker warrior has a lower power level.

The warrior with the higher roll wins the round and attacks. Their result is subtracted from the other warriors power level.
In case of a draw, nothing happens and the round ends without any changes.

Once one of the warriors power level drops to 0 power, the fight is over. You can see an example of a battle log here:



The winner of a fight will gain power depending on the initial power difference. A very strong warrior defeating a weak one will not gain much or no power at all. Same in the other direction, if you defeat a much higher warrior, yours will gain a lot of additional power.

You made it until here? Great! Now you know everything you need about the game.
Good luck on the Treasure Hunt!
