The United Pirates

You want to go on an adventure? You want to become rich? Here we offer some useful information for treasure hunters.

Skill

The skills needed for this profession are:

  • Cartography: Depending on the level of the treasure map, a certain Cartography skill is required to decode it (see below).
  • Mining: The Mining skill is not obligatory, but it makes it much easier to find the spot. Since the treasure locations are now completely random, you can't just use the respective rune and dig. You have to examine the map and try to find the exact spot. A grandmaster miner can dig four steps away from the actual treasure and still find it.
  • Lockpicking: Depending on the level of the treasure map, a certain lockpicking skill is required to open the chest (see below). A skeleton key improves the chances of picking a lock. However, all guardians have to be slain before you can try to open the chest.
  • Magery: With the telekinesis spell you can disarm the trap from a safe distance. You could also use telekinesis scrolls, of course.

Ingeniously 6 100 100 30,000
Diabolically 7 100 100 35,000

Equipment

  • Shovel or pickaxe to dig up the treasure. Use the tool, then target the treasure map, then target the ground to dig it up. A blessed Jacob's Pickaxe might be handy.
  • Lockpicks to open the chest. A Skeleton Key increases the success chance. When a lockpicking attempt fails, there is the chance that a random item inside the chest will be destroyed.
  • Ranged weapons, ranged attacks or pets are an advantage, as a number of dangerous guardians will appear after the chest has been dug up to attack the treasure hunter.
  • A high quality armor will help to survive the attacks of the guardians.
  • Slayer weapons help to defeat the guardians. Recommended slayers for high-level treasures are: Elemental Slayer, Blood Elemental Slayer, Poison Elemental Slayer, Dragon Slayer, Demon Slayer, Undead Slayer.
