Treasure Wars Gameplay Update

It's time for a Treasure Wars update!

This gameplay update brings loads of new features, quality of life changes, and 12 new maps!

New Items

Chorus Fruit
  • Teleports you back to your spawn island when eaten.
  • Deals 5 hearts of damage when used. If below 5 hearts, leaves you with half a heart.
  • Can be purchased from the merchant for 5 diamonds. Each merchant has a limited stock of 2 Chorus Fruit.

Fall Boots

  • Golden boots that completely negate fall damage.
  • Can be purchased from the merchant for 3 emeralds.

Shears

  • Can be used to quickly break wool (can be purchased for 10 gold).
Prestiging

Players that have reached the maximum level (100) can now prestige. Prestiging will reset your level to level 1, and grant you the following rewards:

  • A prestige icon next to your name in chat, and above your player's head in the lobby.
  • A hub title with a special icon to represent your prestige level.
  • An exclusive avatar.
  • 500 Quest Points.

Global unlocks (hub titles, costumes, and avatars) that you previously unlocked through leveling up will be kept, but you will have to unlock in-game unlocks again, by leveling up.

You can prestige multiple times, and each time you do, you will unlock a new prestige icon, and additional hub titles and avatars.

Personal Win Streaks

Treasure Wars now tracks personal win streaks. Your current win streak is displayed on the stats hologram in all Treasure Wars lobbies.

To prevent targeting, we will not be making players' win streaks public, nor will the data be available on our API.

Wins in all Treasure Wars modes count towards your personal win streak.

Quality of Life Changes
  • Updated the merchant and treasure indicator models.
  • Added custom, colored items for boomboxes.
  • When your treasure is destroyed, it will now tell you who destroyed it in chat.
  • Summoners now display how many items are waiting to be picked up.
  • Each merchant now has a limited stock of 4 golden apples, as opposed to there being a global cap per game.
  • All 3D models are now entities - this improves performance and reduces the likelihood of the 'pink glitch' occurring.

New Maps

Solo

  • Beehive
  • Sway
  • Warped
  • Aero

Duos

  • Ablaze
  • Enigma
  • Fairytale Forest
  • Fairy Garden (Revamped)

Trios/Squads

  • Grove
  • O2

Mega

  • Bloom
  • Opulent

As always, we'll be making changes based on your feedback - be sure to tell us your thoughts on our Discord server or forums!

Treasure Wars Gameplay Update

It's time for a BIG Treasure Wars update! As some of you may have seen, we've been running a preview of the update for the past week. Thank you to anyone who gave feedback as it helped shape this update.

So, what's in this newest update?

New Features

4 New Maps

  • Oceanic for Solos
  • Gates for Duos
  • Summer Coast for Trios and Squads
  • Resort for Mega

Boomboxes

We've long heard feedback that you wanted more ways to play Treasure Wars, with one of the highest-rated suggestions being TNT. Today we're adding Boomboxes to the game.

  • Added "Knockback Boombox" at 4 diamonds each
  • Added "Block Breaker Boombox" at 5 emeralds each
  • Added "Blast-proof Glass" at 2 emeralds for 16 pieces

Balance Changes

Armor

Diamond armor was widely considered too powerful, whist iron armor was considered too expensive and offered only a small amount of defense more than chainmail. We've tried to bridge the gap between the armors to make the game feel more balanced.

  • Reduced "Iron Armor Set" from 32 to 12 diamonds
  • Added protection 1 to the iron chestplate, making the set an exact middle ground between chainmail and diamond
  • Increased "Diamond Armor Set" from 20 to 28 emeralds

Bows

  • Close range arrow shots now deal less damage, to discourage bow spam
  • Increased bow from 2 to 5 diamonds each

Other Balance Changes

  • Doubled the stock of golden apples per game
  • Changed golden apples to 5 diamonds each

Game Changes

General Changes

  • Implemented new victory screen
  • Armor items now only equip on purchase if they are of equal or greater defense value
  • Final kills now grant double XP
  • Added support for avatars on endgame podiums

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue that could cause too much currency being taken when purchasing items
  • Fixed an issue that resulted in bridge builders having broken necks
  • Fixed logic order that would result in the game over message showing before the final kill had full processed
  • Corrected a typo when purchasing items from the store

As always, if you have any feedback please let us know on our Discord or our forums. Thank you to everyone who gave feedback on the preview! We're excited to hear what you think of this newest update.

Treasure Wars: Update Preview Patch 3

We're nearing the end of the Treasure Wars Update Preview. We've been monitoring feedback across Discord, Forums, and the updates website.

The new patch is deployed to all regions, awaiting your feedback. We encourage you to play before leaving feedback.

Armor

  • Added back Diamond Armor Set at 28 emeralds
  • Changed Iron Armor Set to include a Chestplate with Protection 1
  • Reduced Iron Armor price from 16 diamonds to 12

Developer note: We heard the large amounts of feedback that the experimental armor changes were too much. As a result, we've returned diamond armor, but at a revised price.

Additionally, we've added protection 1 to the iron chestplate. This adds a further 4% damage reduction to the iron armor set, making it exactly halfway between chainmail and diamond. We hope this will make iron armor more valuable in gameplay.

Miscellaneous 

  • Increased the stock of Golden Apples in games

We appreciate the open and fair feedback you have provided us during this update preview. If you have any feedback please let us know on Discord, our forums, or as a reply to this update.

Treasure Wars: Update Preview Patch 2

We've deployed a new version of the Treasure Wars Update Preview.

Armor

  • Armor will now only swap on purchase if it has a higher or equal defense rating
  • Changed Iron Armor Set from 64 gold to 16 diamonds
  • Experimental: Removed Diamond Armor Set
  • Experimental: Added Diamond Helmet for 5 emeralds
  • Experimental: Added Diamond Leggings for 10 emeralds
  • Experimental: Added Diamond Boots for 5 emeralds

Developer note: We've been hearing that there's too much of a difference between iron and diamond armor. As a result, we're making an experimental change, removing the diamond set and selling individual items. The chestplate has been removed due to the huge defense rating it provides.

This change is experimental and may be reverted.

Boom Box

  • Changed Knockback Boom Box from 2 emeralds to 4 diamonds

As always, if you have any thoughts on this update, please consider letting us know on either our Discord or community forums.

  • Disabled Regular Boom Box
  • Changed price of Knockback Boom Box from 2 diamonds to 2 emeralds
  • Block Breaker Boom Box radius increased from 2 to 3
  • Block Breaker Boom Box is no longer throwable

Bows & Arrows

  • Reverted Arrow price changes back to 16 gold for a stack of 8

Note: The short-range arrow nerf remains. Any arrows that hit a target within a short distance will have their damage halved.

Armor

  • Increased price of Diamond Armor from 20 emeralds to 30
