Goldjäger guide

How to earn the most Schatzpunkte in a battle: what to do first, which gear to buy, when to relocate and when to go for the Legendärer Schatz.

Community guide — these tips are player advice, not game data; the schedule, rewards and rules are on the event page. Written up from the “KRIT'S GOLD HUNTER GUIDE” image by Krit #302, plus notes taken from recorded matches.

Krit's golden rule
Fast fingers. 6 marches moving. Get every trove. If it's 20+ clicks away — move.

Krit's five steps

  1. Start of the match

    Attack the fugitives (the game's Greedy Miners) and use one march to attack mines. Take Plan 3: Dschungel: more mines, more fugitives, more troves, more points.

    Plan 3: Dschungel
    • Versorgungswagen
    • Lava-Watstiefel
    • Minenarbeiter-Werkzeugkasten
    • Strahlende Lore
    • Zeitverschieber
    • Unendlichkeitstruhe

    Attacks on Greedy Miners and on mines only work once the first 3 minutes of preparation are over.

  2. Troves are your priority

    Whenever a Unterirdische Schatzkammer appears, give it all your attention and take every single one you can. When better troves are elsewhere on the map, move your base to them instead of wasting time on long marches.

    The game sends them in waves, at minutes 10–12 and 20–22 of the battle, with a countdown 60 seconds ahead. They gather very fast: 4.000 Gold a second, against 200–800 in a mine.

  3. Rinse and repeat

    Keep all your marches (6 in the guide) moving at all times: six marches, six targets, one goal — max points. 0 idle = winning.

    How many marches you have depends on your account.

  4. The 20-click rule

    The second you have to travel more than 20 clicks from your base, move it. A free relocation comes every 6 minutes, and the Zeitverschieber gear shortens that wait by 33%.

  5. The center trove

    The Legendärer Schatz in the middle of the island is “whale territory”. Even holding it for 3 seconds can add a nice bonus to your final score. Risky, rewarding: take it quick, hold it if you can, get the bonus.

    It opens for the last 7 minutes of the battle, and Schatzpunkte are given by how long each Warden holds it. Each Warden can send only one march there.

From recorded matches

Notes from recorded matches, not from Krit's guide: what players saw, not rules of the game. Where the game states a fact, it is the game's number.

Minecarts

When a mine's holder — another Warden or the mine's guards — has gathered a lot there (more than 60.000 Gold at a Lv.1 mine) and loses the fight for it, three minecarts drop nearby; the biggest is worth the most (16.000 / 24.000 / 40.000 Gold at a Lv.1 mine). In the recordings, beating mine guards dropped carts too, and the carts were gone after about a minute, so grab them fast.

Picking them up uses a special march that does not take one of your normal ones: one at a time, two with the Versorgungswagen gear. The other mines' numbers are on the event page.

Underground Trove waves

Troves come in waves, announced shortly before they appear. In one recorded match the troves gave about 3,4 million of the 5,9 million Schatzpunkte.

Gear buy order

Buy the Plan 3: Dschungel gear in this order. The Unendlichkeitstruhe has to wait until the shop reaches Meister-Ausrüstung.

  1. Versorgungswagen
    Gewöhnliche Ausrüstung
  2. Lava-Watstiefel
    Gewöhnliche Ausrüstung
  3. Minenarbeiter-Werkzeugkasten
    Gewöhnliche Ausrüstung
  4. Zeitverschieber
    Erweiterte Ausrüstung
  5. Strahlende Lore
    Elite-Ausrüstung
  6. Unendlichkeitstruhe
    Meister-Ausrüstung

Talents after the gear

With the gear bought, spend your Gold on talents: Plündernd first (Gold durch das Besiegen von gierigen Bergarbeitern +20 % at the top level), then Schürfend (Gold-Sammeltempo +20 %).

Both unlock with Meister-Ausrüstung and cost 200.000 Gold an upgrade, up to level 20.

Troops and heroes

A defeated hero has to heal before it can march again: 5 minutes, 40% less with the Erste-Hilfe-Kasten gear.

Truppenreserven sind unbegrenzt, es wird keine Verluste während der Kämpfe geben. Die Soldatenlevel im Goldjäger entsprechen den höchsten Soldatenleveln des Direktors.
