Treasure Quests

Maybe this isnt worth making a topic about, but anyway.

Ive tried to find this damn treasure at Cayman for some time now, but the thing is: I dont know what im looking for! Is the treasure visible or is it hidden in a rock(?) or something?

The main thing about this thread is that i want to know how the treasures look like.

You won't actually see anything. You will know its there when you get the "Open Box" or "Take Item" icon at the upper left of your screen.

That treasure I believe, is in a hidden cave.
It is one you fall into, so you won't see the cave entrance either.
 
There is a topic on this forum with the places of the treasures. If you don't find the treasures, you can see those threads. They already helped me sometimes.

I don't know about the one on Cayman, because I didn't play it yet.
 
you will ominously notice that you've found the spot when you get swamped by pirates. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/duel_pa.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":ixi" border="0" alt="duel_pa.gif" /> there are exceptions however, like with the one your playing. there, it indicates that you've found the place where the trap door is. finding it however, is a boring job of walking back and forth through the entire stretch of jungle. that is, if that's the one you have. if it sais you should look inland, that's the one.
 
About that tresure quests...I buy 2 location one in Cayman and one in Conceicao...ok I go first to Cayman I found the cave I kill all bandits but the cave is empty no sign in uper left top to pick up the tresure or to open something...I check every place any rocks but nothing...same happened in Conceicao...after a while of playing other guy sell me again the location of treasure in Cayman...i must say that all these location are in my quest book..but no tresure... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" /> ...what's wrong?

First for treasure quests.
You can only have one open at a time. If you agree to buy a second treasure map, then the treasure from the first map gets canceled.

You are not guaranteed treasure from any map, and if your luck is low, there is a greater chance that a chest will come up empty.


As for chests in general.
You are right in your frustration. Empty chests all over, including houses is not normal.
If is a bug in Build14 alpha.
Someone else will have to answer if that bug has been fixed in the latest update.

I believe Build 13 update 2 does not have that bug.
 
About luck...my luck is 4 with some rings,stone and so one..in fact is one....but I have one officer with luck 10 and he is in my party....witch luck counts?

But in any cave I search I didn't find the place where tresure could be...just rocks...I didn't see the sign that I must open something... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

And how can I increase my luck percents?

I'd guess it is only your luck that counts.

You won't see any signs.
You will see the "take item", or "open box" icon on upper left of screen only when you are standing close to where the treasure is hidden.

What build version are you using?
 
I'm using build 13 + update 2 + build 14 alpha3 + alpha 4 and now alpha 5...

What I'm saying about that "take item" ...that didn't appear in uper left side of the screen...in any place I search....is that tresure so hiden?

For problems and a possible fix for Build 14 treasure quests, see this post by Pieter.

Right now I install that update alpha 5 and in particular that tresure quest fix ...but nothing...I try in Conceicao in cavern ...I see a rock market with a cross and I asume that the tresure must be there but the icon didn't appear in the left side of my screen.... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dunno.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shrug" border="0" alt="dunno.gif" />

That is the location for one of the Cayman treasures.
There is another treasure location in another cave on the Island.

Have you ever played the Lucas quest?

There is a jungle on Cayman that is identical to the jungle where you find Arabella on Redmond.

Find that jungle on Cayman and go to the area where Arabella would be if it were Redmond instead.

You will fall into a cave.
 
that cave is in Conceicao on the beach...Leviatan Rock I guess...but now after I install alpha 5 update I can't load any saved game in alpha 4 ..is that normal? or I'm doing something wrong...I just overwrited those files...

Right you had two maps, one for each island <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mybad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":facepalm" border="0" alt="mybad.gif" /> I forgot.
It was just that the location you described is also one of the treasure locations on Cayman as well, only it's an inland cave.

With those updates, I believe you do have to start a new game.
 
Update 5 requires a new game. If you install the Treasure Quest Fix, you don't need to start a new game when you already started one with Update 5. Just press F11 after loading the game. It doesn't fix any finding treasure code though. It only fixes the treasure contents.

I noticed yesterday that the treasure locators are ridiculously small. It's like one eeny weeny tiny pixel where you can find the treasure. So finding it is a major pain in the ***. Something should be done about it, but I have yet to figure out how. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />
 
i found out what triggers the empty chest bug. it starts to occur after you open your weapons locker.
 
It does? Post that one on the Bug Tracker. I need to check that out when I get back home. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/piratesing.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":shock" border="0" alt="piratesing.gif" />

I don't understand. If the treasure uses common item and box locators, those are large enough.

Are the sizes redefined for treasure spots, somewhere in code? If so, that would be where they could be made larger.

I don't understand either. When the locator is used as normal (randitm) locator, it is large enough. But when it's used for a treasure chest, it's so small that opening the chest is waaay annoying. Something <i>is</i> changing the size of the locator, apparently, so I'll need to find the code for that and make it so that it doesn't do that anymore. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />
