Xu-Fu's Treasure Hunt FAQ

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

The game will run from August 18 to August 25 (23:59 GMT), just in time for the new expansion :D

1. Introduction

The whole game can be summarized very easily: find treasures, win prizes!
All around the many strategies pages there are coins and other items or events that you can find.
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. Details below:

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 defend and attack stashes! In the vault you can hire 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 175 power.

2.3 Donate to the war effort

Finally, some real talk about treasure! To enter into the prize draw, all you have to do is donate coins into the war effort. All coins donated by the community are counted together to unlock further prizes. Unlocked prizes 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 :-)

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!
