Treasure Amount

[Slindur]

I found Treasure Hunting to be a total waste of time, effort and turns : the odds work against you and givne the arrival of banks, too few still bury their stash so there is less to be found anyway, save for whatever was buried by inactives pre-banks and thats a diminishing amount.

A far better use of the turns with a more reliable return rate is farming NPC's...

I agree that Treasure Hunting is this way now, but it used to be much more profitable. I used to be able to make at least 1 mil/week in treasure hunting NPCs before the use of banks. I think that treasure hunting uses the total amount of gold buried in the port for NPC chances, and that has plummeted since banks have been invented. It was a major nerf, and now I don't use any turns on treasure hunting.

Then again, my most recent treasure hunting yielded about 2 million coin...
I think there should be more advantages to burying treasure, this will encourage people to bury more chest and hopefully filter out those annoying < 20 coins results.

"you found a big chest!"
- 11 coins.

There was a Tech suggestion not to long ago that fixed some of the issues with the current system. I believe it was a good suggestion but I can't remember who brought it up. I know Charles Vane was aiding in the suggestion as well.

Might be worth a read if you can find it as it is relevant to this topic.

it sounds like a browser issue as I just did a Hunt with no issues.

That happened to me too, both with Firefox and Chrome. No treasure amount shown sometimes. Still can be checked via the past attempts, but at the moment of digging there wasn't any amount.
