Buscador de Oro guide

How to earn the most Puntos de tesoro in a battle: what to do first, which gear to buy, when to relocate and when to go for the Tesoro Legendario.

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: selva: more mines, more fugitives, more troves, more points.

    Plan 3: selva
    • Carro de suministros
    • Botas de lava
    • Kit de herramientas de minero
    • Vagoneta radiante
    • Cronotraslocador
    • Cofre infinito

    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 Tesoro subterráneo 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: 4000 Oro 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 Cronotraslocador gear shortens that wait by 33%.

  5. The center trove

    The Tesoro Legendario 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 Puntos de tesoro 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 Oro 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 Oro 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 Carro de suministros 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 Puntos de tesoro.

Gear buy order

Buy the Plan 3: selva gear in this order. The Cofre infinito has to wait until the shop reaches Equipo maestro.

  1. Carro de suministros
    Equipo común
  2. Botas de lava
    Equipo común
  3. Kit de herramientas de minero
    Equipo común
  4. Cronotraslocador
    Equipo avanzado
  5. Vagoneta radiante
    Equipo de élite
  6. Cofre infinito
    Equipo maestro

Talents after the gear

With the gear bought, spend your Oro on talents: Saqueo first (Oro de mineros codiciosos +20 % at the top level), then Prospección (Velocidad de recolección de oro +20 %).

Both unlock with Equipo maestro and cost 200.000 Oro 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 Botiquín de primeros auxilios gear.

Las reservas de tropas son ilimitadas y no ocurrirán bajas durante las batallas. Los niveles de los soldados en Buscador de Oro coincidirán con los soldados de mayor nivel del alcaide.
