Treasure Hunt is the main focus of the Version 3.7 update. Sneaky Shane managed to get his hands on a large quantity of letters, journals, notes, and riddles, all containing hints to the location of buried treasure. Unlike his previous venture, he's looking to make some cash, and will sell his clues to players.
Hunting for Treasure
editUp to three Clue Scrolls may be purchased from Sneaky Shane per day, with easy and medium costing $1100, and hard costing $1500. This timer rolls over at midnight, UTC. Each Clue Scroll will contain a riddle, giving the location of buried treasure. While possessing the scroll, players may find the location hinted at, and then use a Shovel to dig up treasure.
After reaching the general area indicated by the clue, it may require multiple attempts to uncover the treasure. Once the correct location is discovered, a successful dig will cause the clue scroll to disappear momentarily, while the chest briefly appears. The act of digging and revealing the treasure will be accompanied by clanging and thud sounds, simulating hitting the chest, in contrast to the sound of unsuccessful digging in just dirt. To fully reveal the treasure, approximately five more shovel uses are needed at the same spot. Finally, the lock on the chest can be broken open by following a five-second prompt. Once looted, the chests vanish by sinking back into the ground.
When owning duplicate clues, each clue is used up individually. If digging continues after a chest has been fully revealed, another chest will be unearthed. This new chest may overlap with previously excavated treasure, but it can still be looted separately.
Be cautious while hunting for treasure, though, as some chests will include items that drop on death (gold dubloons, legendary pelts, gems, etc.). meaning that if any other players are in the area near your chest, it is easy for them to quickly kill you and steal your loot. Private servers are also recommended for treasure hunting as there are little to no threats. If you aren't able to get into a private server, always look at your surroundings and make sure you are completely safe before you start digging with your shovel.
Players cannot open other players' chests, and will be met with a "This is not your chest!" error message. Players can still attempt to open the chests, but it will not work.

If a Clue Scroll is consumed, it cannot be replaced. If you solve a riddle and the clue scroll vanishes, continue digging, or backtrack to where it vanished and finish digging. If you cannot open a chest, continue digging. If you leave the game without recovering the treasure, but after starting to dig it up, the treasure will be lost, and the Clue Scroll will not be replaceable.
Treasures
editNOTE: Scroll difficulties do not guarantee a specific chest, however harder difficulties are more likely to provide higher tiered chests.
There are three tiers of chests, with higher tiers typically containing more valuable items. The most common is a wooden chest. The mid-rarity appears to be made of metal. The rarest has deep red wood, with golden locks.
