Goudjager guide
How to earn the most Schatpunten in a battle: what to do first, which gear to buy, when to relocate and when to go for the Legendarische Schatkamer.
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.

Fast fingers. 6 marches moving. Get every trove. If it's 20+ clicks away — move. Krit's five steps
-
Start of the match
Attack the fugitives (the game's Greedy Miners) and use one march to attack mines. Take Plan 3: Jungle: more mines, more fugitives, more troves, more points.

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

Troves are your priority
Whenever a Ondergrondse Schatkamer 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 Goud a second, against 200–800 in a mine.
-
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.
-
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 Tijdverschuiver gear shortens that wait by 33%.
-
The center trove
The Legendarische Schatkamer 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 Schatpunten 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 Goud 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 Goud 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 Bevoorradingskar 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 Schatpunten.
Gear buy order
Buy the Plan 3: Jungle gear in this order. The Oneindigheidskist has to wait until the shop reaches Meesterlijke Uitrusting.

Talents after the gear
With the gear bought, spend your Goud on talents: Plundering first (Goud van het doden van Hebzuchtige Mijnwerkers +20% at the top level), then Prospectie (Goudverzamelsnelheid +20%).
Both unlock with Meesterlijke Uitrusting and cost 200.000 Goud 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 EHBO-kit gear.
Troepenreserves zijn onbeperkt, en er zullen geen slachtoffers vallen tijdens gevechten. De niveaus van de soldaten in Gold Hunter zullen overeenkomen met de hoogst-niveau soldaten van de Warden.
