I want to know how much gold you can get from it per day, before I buy it. If you only get 1 gold max from it, definitely not worth it. That's like just one extra friend giving you gold per day. If it were 3, even then probably not. 5 or more, maybe.

The Treasure Cave is not currently available for all users. Any further details are TBD.

How it works:
You can buy the Treasure Cave for Gold. The Treasure Cave has a count down. You can mine 21 Gold every 22 hours from the Treasure Cave. The Treasure Cave has an expiration time, in which it can no longer be mined.

I jus want to understand properly....a person can mine 21gold every 22 hrs but it also can only be mined for a certain time? So you use gold to get this cave that gives you gold but only for a certain amount of time then its jus a pretty cave using space? Is the correct?

How long will it last ? It costs 500 gold and lets say we can mine once per day so its 21 gold per day. Does it last for at least a month or maybe longer? If yes, im gonna buy 1 :D

SybreTiger
12-27-12, 02:34 PM
So let me get this straight... It says 'remember to mine every day before the mine runs out'... So that means you can only mine from it for so long? So basically you can get 105 gold per 5 days. How long can you mine for? Because unles you can mine for 25 days, to get your original 500 gold back, then you basically lose gold.

Still don't know if it's worth buying.

Hrm, kind of like a coffee. You can buy a coffee & then you take sips from it for a while. Eventually, you run out of coffee, but you get delicious coffee goodness while it lasts. Pretty sweet, right?! ^_^

So 21 gold for 30 days..thats 630 gold, so you gain 130 gold if you mine it everyday. Pony Roar? If I miss a day do I lose that days gold?

That is a good idea but isn't 500 gold a bit strap for just 30 days. I roughly did the math and if its right again a rough estimate that would only be a profit of 172 gold after you made up the 500 it spent to get it

habibass
12-27-12, 02:44 PM
That sound nice.
But I have one question - lets say that I already got 21 gold on Monday and then after ~18 hrs i decide to go to slepp, so it means that 4 hours left until i can get another 21 gold bar. I sleep 9 hours and after i got up I collect my 21 gold and right after that the timer shows that 22 hours left until next time i can collect gold? Or it would show that there's 17 hours left until next time?

It would've soil more than 130 because its every 22 hours and ghats assuming that your on top of collecting every 22 hours. Better set your alarm lol

12-27-12, 02:52 PM
Yayyyy 30 days like i guessed :D
21x30 =630 gold
In other words, you buy 500 gold and get 130 extra(26% more)
Another reason to buy is that i have problem with saving gold, whenever i bought gold i tend to spend it right away. With the cave , i can have 21 per day to spend . Yayyy

I see. Well I'm sure the kindle fire users will have to wait an extreme amount of time. Which is cool but id rather get caught up on updates before getting this cave. Here's a question though is this cave going to be a "get it while its here causevits not here to stay" thing or id it a " take your time an save up cause its not going anywhere" thing?

12-27-12, 03:20 PM
You would get more then 630 gold. 22 hrs is 2 short of a full day. so if you do it exactly 22 hrs, you would have 60 extra hours to collect gold. So you would get at least 41 more gold. plus have some hours left over to do, shopping.

How do I know TL won't change the value of the amount of gold after I purchase it in 2 weeks? See, 20 gold/day sounds nice, but if it drops to 5 after I purchase it, it's no longer worth the investment....

12-27-12, 05:08 PM
Sounds like it might be a smart solution to my gold trap problem. The one time I had some extra cash to buy a large sum of gold to hoard, I lost most of it in an accidental purchase. The treasure cave could keep a big sum of gold safe from those kinds of accidental losses and let it earn interest, so to speak. You just have to plan for the fact that you can't use it all at once.

When the new treasure mine releases to every one, this method might work.

IF YOU CAN REPLACE THE NEW MINE AFTER IT RUNS OUT PLEASE CONTINUE READING, IF YOU THINK/KNOW IT CANNOT BE REPLACED PLEASE LEAVE BECAUSE I DONT WANT NEGATIVE COMMENTS

Sense the mine will give you 21 gold per 22hrs for 30 days, for 500 gold, you would get about 630 gold (i believe ) within the 30 day period time.

This is how/may how to get diamond using the mine

Sense you get about 630 gold per 30 days, you make a 130 gold profit because 630-500=130.

The diamond costs 2000 gold, sooooo

130 x 16 = 2080. The 16 comes from how many times you need to renew the mine.

16 renewals x 30 days = 480

It will take a more than a year to get diamond using the mine.

Thus, you will get 130 gold per 30 days. 16 renewals x 30 days = 480 days. 130 gold x 16 renewals = 2080 gold.

Please tell me what you think , NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS

@pony roar

The Treasure Cave is showing up in my Market, and it looks like you can buy a maximum of five caves per player.

My question to moderators or anyone who has purchased the Cave: Since players can receive a maximum of 20 gold from neighbours per day, does the mined gold count as part of the current maximum or is it in ADDITION to the neighbour maximum (ie 20 gold/day total vs 20 gold from neighbours + 21 gold from caves per day)?

No its not, you have to spend 500 each time you get the cave.....you buy 530 gold for $20. spend 500 of it to get the cave. and make 172 gold. OR you can just spend $10 for 250 and make 250 in gold. SO, who wants to spend $20 for 172 (and thats if you collect every 22 hrs), when you can spend $10 and make more gold without having to remember to collect a thing?

You do the math. In my mind the cave isn't worth a it. The return doesn't make up for the initial outlay of money. It's cheaper to just spend $10 and forgo the cave.

No , 172 is just the profit. The total amount of gold that you get from the cave should be 672. How can i spend 10$ and get 250 gold as profit ?

I think kwhales is referring to the price of gold. 10$ is the cost of 250 gold. (?)
Too lazy to check. :p

Well, I think that it's for people who want that decor. But it's a bit troublesome. And it should be a 24 hour cycle, because peope would always remember to buy it in that hour. 21 hours will eventually have to force people into waking up at crazy hours xD

Right you get 672 gold, minus the amount you spent on the cave which is 500. so you end up with 172 plus the left over 30, so, 202 for $20 buck (if you bought gold to purchase the mine. OR you can just spend $10 for 250 gold and have 250 profit plus $10.

Lets say i spend 20$ to buy 530 gold and buy the cave for 500. After 1 month i'll get 672 from the cave and 30 left over . That means with 20$ i get 702 .

Profit means what you get after you minus out the capital you put in. You spend 20 dollars for 530 gold, you used up 500 gold (your capital is 500 gold) you get 672 gold minus the capital you put in (the 500 gold which you use to buy the cave) you make a profit of 172 gold.

So, what they are say is, you spend 20 dollars to buy a 500 gold cave to make a profit of 127 gold.
Instead of buying the cave, you can just spend 10 dollars and get the 250 gold (and no need to wait 30 days just to make a profit of 172 gold)

Yes, you do get $702 at the end of the month...but you had to buy 530 to get 702...so, to me you have to subtract the initial 500 from the 702. giving you 202. If you got the mine for free...no initial outlay of gold, then yes, you would have a profit of 702. but it costs 500 gold. 702-500=202. plus you had to use $20 real cash.

But after your 30 days you can invest you 500 gold again. On another cave and get another 172 gold profit ... So your total profit 344 gold and if you do it again you can get a total of 516 gold if you do it atleast 3 times but I heard you can buy up to 5

Correct. If you have the initial $20 to get the gold, then yes eventually it would be. But for the first time round, I don't see it as a huge profit. But by the third, it would be.

wassupbaby
12-28-12, 04:52 PM
No its not, you have to spend 500 each time you get the cave.....you buy 530 gold for $20. spend 500 of it to get the cave. and make 172 gold. OR you can just spend $10 for 250 and make 250 in gold. SO, who wants to spend $20 for 172 (and thats if you collect every 22 hrs), when you can spend $10 and make more gold without having to remember to collect a thing?

You do the math. In my mind the cave isn't worth a it. The return doesn't make up for the initial outlay of money. It's cheaper to just spend $10 and forgo the cave.


Right you get 672 gold, minus the amount you spent on the cave which is 500. so you end up with 172 plus the left over 30, so, 202 for $20 buck (if you bought gold to purchase the mine. OR you can just spend $10 for 250 gold and have 250 profit plus $10.


Profit means what you get after you minus out the capital you put in. You spend 20 dollars for 530 gold, you used up 500 gold (your capital is 500 gold) you get 672 gold minus the capital you put in (the 500 gold which you use to buy the cave) you make a profit of 172 gold.

Yes, i know what profit is. And if you read carefully what kwhales wrote , its not the same with what you wrote.

12-28-12, 04:55 PM
Enough about this profit...Everyone has their own opinion. I agree now that after a couple mines, a clear profit is available, because the initial outlay will have been recouped. So, lets agree that the mine will be profitable in the long run and be done with this.

Everyone seems to be forgetting that it is a 22 hour collection. So if you first collect it say at 8am the next collection time would be 6 am then 4am and so on. There will be more than one occasion when you simply can't collect or forget to collect. You will only make a profit if you collect every 22 hours and very few people will do that. I think more people will lose gold than make extra gold.

Well, with the cave come out i have a strategy to get free gold every month.
For those who can spend real money into DS , i recommend buying it right away. You spend 100$ and get 5 caves. Every month you get back the gold to re-buy new caves and 172x5= 860 free gold per month to spend.
With this cave you spend the money once and can get free gold every month continuosly. Still dont get why would you think its not worth it or spend 10$ is cheeper ??

The Treasure Cave is not currently available for all users. Any further details are TBD.

How it works:
You can buy the Treasure Cave for Gold. The Treasure Cave has a count down. You can mine 21 Gold every 22 hours from the Treasure Cave. The Treasure Cave has an expiration time, in which it can no longer be mined.

Are we going to get a definative answer on this????
I understand it was not givin to all users but... On my iphone there is a timer of 5 days???
Dose that mean that if we did not get it at all (like on my ipad I see nothing on this treasure cave) we will not be able to get it at all??
Or it will be released to all before the timer is up????

At least with the new crafts stuff it was released to 10% of usersfor beta testing , and was not for a limited time ... But this is really not making any sence!
Once this 5 days are up well ...... What happens??? I cant understand why the release if not everyone can have it??

The lack of financial understanding on this thread is astounding.

I think maybe people aren't looking at the long-run picture perhaps?

You spend 500 gold, and eventually, if you check every day for every day the cave is available, you will net approximately 630 gold (counting 30 days) which is 130 MORE gold than what the total cost of the cave initially was.

21 a day doesn't seem like much for spending 500 gold all in one go, BUT all added together for the lifetime of the cave, you net a profit. BUT that probably only makes sense if you're someone who hoards gold.

Basically, I think people don't like the idea of dumping in 500 gold in one go and then have to wait 30 days to earn back all of their gold they invested plus the extra.

Personally, I think it's a doable idea if you have the patience and understand that you will only profit if you see this in the long run/big picture.

If this was a permanent addition, i would happily buy all 5 caves and continue playing like normal.

BUT, since this is a limited time thing i really don't see the point in buying this.. All it does is make you spend more of your money for gold, PLUS make you continually play for the next month(if you want to get your money's worth) in which gives TL enough time to come up with another little clever scheme to sell you more gold that you will most likely buy because you were naive enough to do it the first time..

If you collect once a day you get 630 gold in 30 days. So you get your 500 gold back plus an additional 130.

Thank you.


But the Gold Mine disappears! Why would I want to spend 500 gold on something that's not going to give me 500 gold! This is a lose situation.

Once the thirty days expire the mining will become a decoration.

So I'll need to spend $19.99 to get 702 over 30 days? 530($20 buys)-500(cost for cave)+672(potential mined gold)

I confirm this is the case. If you are diligent about collecting the gold, you spend 500 gold to collect 672 gold over the 30 days before it runs out. 30 days = 720 hours / 22 hour refresh on gold = 32 chances to collect gold every 22 hours over a 30 day period. 32 * 21 gold each collection = 672 gold total possible

And I am on IOS...it just showed up...along with the new Origami Dragon and Tiny Dragon. Bought it. It gives you 21 gold every 22 hours for 30 days, then runs out. Total possible gold is 672.

672 (total gold possible) - 500 (gold spent to buy the cave) = 172
Worth it ??
I understood the calculations and bought it anyways... I think its a pretty deco and at least your sure of 21 gold every day + your gifts.

Either 530 gold for 20$ thats spent in 2 seconds or an everyday extra gold that your sure of.....

I had 500+ free gold from buying decoration goals after installing TL games and decided to buy a cave since it didn't cost me any actual money. It's cute looking and will save me from accidentally buying pop up ad dragons for the time being since I'll have fewer gold on hand to get trapped.

I personally don't think it's worth it. I don't know what's going to happen in the next 30 days, I.e I may plan to go away for a couple of days, or I maybe out for a full day, I.e missing my chance to reset the mine for the gold, which is a possibility. Plus it will take up space on my island at the moment.

Anyway that's my opinion only and I'm not going to buy one.

I have a neighbor that has 5 of them. I think the treasure cave is a good idea but I don't see myself playing this game every 22 hours for 30 days to mine from it. With work, children starting school soon, and a possible move to back to my home state it's no guarantee that I would even break even or gain any gold. This is just me and my personal situation.

01-04-13, 06:20 AM
Well... I have the option but I am not getting it... I have enough to worry about from day to day without having to worry about collecting Gold for a game every 22 hrs for it to only run out after 30 days. At least should have made it craftable...

...now if it was a constant 21 gold every 22 hrs... then maybe... but only for 30 days? No thanks.

honestly, the timings on this cave just outright piss me off. With a 22 hour refresh time, they're guaranteeing that at some point, the user will be asleep, and lose time when the cave is done, but they can't mine it. A 24 hour refresh time would have been fairer, with no lost hours, but the way it's designed, unless someone's life is this game, there's no way to gain the maximum benefit. a 22 hour refresh time shows outright scorn

Forget about the maximum benefit, just think you'll get 130 profit if you mine it every 24 hours. It's still worth it and perfectly doable!

Yes I understand that. My question was how much time do you have to collect the gold once the 22hrs is up before it resets and you lose that days gold. They must have a set amount of time you can collect it before it resets. Is it a couple minutes, a half hour, an hour or two?

I just bought 20 hrs ago,after I purchase,immediately you can collect the 21 gold,than timer starts for 22 hrs,now I'm collecting my 2nd 21gold in 22 hrs,but really don't how you long you can hold the gold collecting from treasure cave,when gold expiry time after due,might we should ask from moderator.

Can someone confirm this, so the cave is 500 gold, and gives 21 gold per 22 hrs for 30 days.
So the math is it like this? 24 hrs x 30 days = 720 hrs
720hrs/22hrs= 32 times x 21 gold = 687gold -500 gold = 187 gold profit.
And I heard the first time after u buy it u will get 25 gold for start. So it will be 187+25= 212 gold total profit. Is this true?

And it's limited time right? Cos I have 3 days left to buy it. Who knows exactly about this? I just want to know is it worth it to have it?

Haha, this is the biggest rip off in my opinion.. They would have to pay ME if they wanted me to come back to their game every single 22 hours for a whole month! I can't believe there are people out there willing to pay THEM so that they can do it instead and make a very minimal reward for doing so.

First of all you have to spend the initial $20 in the first place, then you get a maximum of 35% more gold on top(assuming you remember to collect every single 22 hours). 35% isn't really that much if you think about it. We are literally talking about mere dollars that you are "saving" by buying this, except the catch is you have to now play this game every day for the next month just so you can get your money's worth.

1 month later you have invested way too much time, energy and money into this game, you've already made the commitment and now you are going to continue to play and spend more money for gold in the future. In the end you are LOSING money because you will be buying even more gold after relying on that little bit of gold every day since you will no longer have it.

Don't buy this, if you want gold, buy it. Don't buy the cave, there's no point in wasting that time and energy for such little gain. You're better off enjoying the game and playing it whenever YOU feel like it, the fun will be ****ed when you force youself to play routinely every single 22 hours just so you can actually collect the gold that you already payed for.

First of all , you dont necessarily have to spent 20$ to buy the cave.
Second of all,i really dont understand your "math" about this. Let's say i bought a cave for 500 golds.After 1 month i get 672 golds back and with 672 golds, im gonna buy another cave and get 172 leftover. And the next month i get another 672 from the cave and 172 leftover from last month. After 2 month i could have 672+172 = 844. Then i buy another cave and get 344 leftover and next month im gonna have 672+344 = 1016 gold.... That's how it works !!!! And its gonna work more efective if you have 5 caves !!!
Last but not least, if you can not play at least once a day then i have to agree , dont buy it .

Your totally right if a person isn't a daily player. This would be silly unless they wanted the decor and some of the gold. For those that do play daily and can check the game at the very least every 24 hrs. It's a great deal, hands down. Also i know they have gold traps but if your more of an advanced player you really have no reason to go into the market and your expansions are so far out that you don't really ever touch the area.

I would think that if you don't collect from the cave in 22 hrs that the gold just sits there waiting for you to collect it. I don't see why it would expire since your just missing out on the hrs/days you have left in the cave to collect. So if you forget to collect for a full 24 hrs after you were ment to, then you just get 21 gold and you missed out on a day and another 21 gold. Just my opinion tho.

That could very well be the case, that if you don't collect at the 22hs then it just sits until you collect it, then the timer starts again for 22hrs.

It's just with how everyone is talking about losing out if you don't collect every 22hrs I was wondering if there was a set time you have to collect. If it does just sit there then I guess people could just collect evey 24hrs and not worry about needing to wake up to collect or the time getting earlier and earlier. Yes you would still miss out on 42 gold doing it this way but 130 gold profit is not bad at all. :)

I set the alarm on my phone for the 22 hours, so everytime my alarm goes off, I run over and collect from it. I started my first one around 9:00 pm my time, so it always is ready when I am awake.

Regardless of being a daily player, it's still not worth it. I'm a daily player myself, I play when I wake up in the morning, when I have lunch and before I go to bed, so you can say I play quite a lot. But if I were to get the cave then I'd have to play a lot more and it wouldn't fit in my schedule at all.

Okay, sure, the first day would be great, I'd collect the gold in the morning when i wake up, perfect. what about the next day? am I supposed to wake up 2 hours early to collect the next lot? and the next day? 4 hours? It's ridiculous, and what if I'm late to work/school because I've slept in and I don't have time to play and I continue to forget about the game for the rest of the day?

You get the idea. It takes extra effort. I feel sorry for anyone keeping this game on their conscious all day forcing themselves to remember to collect every 22 hours just to make that little 172 profit. I highly doubt anyone will be able to make that maximum 172 gold, and if someone were to, I'd feel sorry for them. If you are really that worried about money that you need that tiny little "profit" then you shouldn't be spending money on games in the first place. Stay back an extra hour at work, on minimum wage you could buy double that amount of gold..


And about you have 0 gold left after 10 minutes. If you buy the cave, you're gold is going to disappear within less than a minute every time if you use it - it's the same thing. This sounds more like a self discipline issue more than anything though.

A bit harsh but it is true. This gold cave is an elaborate scam. you actually only starting making a profit in gold after 3 weeks, and that is if you don't miss a day. Unless you have nothing to do all day fro the next month it is a waste of money. I am also a daily player but there are days where i don't even sign on to clear my nest or breeding den. It's so easy to miss that time slot where you must collect that your going to miss a day here and there. I'm not going to knock anyones life style but for a normal person it's very hard to keep this up for 30 days.

I do not think in my case IT TAKES ME EXTRA EFFORT to play ....
Btw, I DO GET THE IDEA! I Simply disagree for my part "get it"

Like I said before everryone simply has a different opinion and thats fine. If you think its not worth it, fine, dont buy it.... Others think it is , then thats fine also... No one will ever be on the same page I belive, but thats ok... We are not all the same person.

I agree, this is an optional feature that depending on your gameplay may or may not be for you.
I am trying it to see how it is, and even if I break even , it is something new to do.
Also once the cave expires, I get to keep it as a decoration.:)

Now if I had to collect every 3 hours, then I would have to think about getting it then. ( I do like my sleep--LOL)

I just bought 20 hrs ago,after I purchase,immediately you can collect the 21 gold,than timer starts for 22 hrs,now I'm collecting my 2nd 21gold in 22 hrs,but really don't how you long you can hold the gold collecting from treasure cave,when gold expiry time after due,might we should ask from moderator.


Yes I have the cave too and that is why I would like to know. So if someone who knows would enlighten us it would be very much appreciated. :)

I checked with ponyroar:
If you don't collect your Gold at the 22 hour mark, it just hangs out until you're ready to mine it.
You don't lose the Gold, it doesn't expire. However, say you collect the Gold at 24 hours, you're losing those two hours that you could have on the next Gold mining timer. So it's possible to take a loss with the Treasure Cave, but TL feels it's timed enough to where a player in any time zone could start the Treasure Cave & log in daily to collect it without any trouble.

Not sure. I will see if I can find out.

The timer for the next collection doesn't start until you collect a "ready to collect" chunk of gold. If you don't collect the gold, it will wait for you, but you effectively lose gold because you could be putting that time into the next collection.

Hope that helps.

I feel differently. If it's 22 hours, then it's going to cycle to a point where you ARE asleep and lose 2 hours. that two hours is then carried forward. 22 hours is a slap in the face. 24 hours, getting it at the same time each day makes the most sense, because then players can build the check into their daily routine. if you start at 9pm, the next day it's 7pm, then 5, 3, 1, 11am, 9, 7, and then 5 am. maybe you're up at five, but the next day is 3am. from that point on, you're losing 2 hours a day. hence my point, without waking up in the middle of the night to play this game, you're not maximizing its usage.

This could all be alleviated by extending the deadline to,say, 45 days, but capping the mining at 33 times, which would add a lesser penalty to less frequent players, either delaying the collection, or if they're very infrequent, actually losing profit, while not turning their life into this game.

If this was a permanent addition, i would happily buy all 5 caves and continue playing like normal.

BUT, since this is a limited time thing i really don't see the point in buying this.. All it does is make you spend more of your money for gold, PLUS make you continually play for the next month(if you want to get your money's worth) in which gives TL enough time to come up with another little clever scheme to sell you more gold that you will most likely buy because you were naive enough to do it the first time..

Totally agree with that
I was debating whether or not to buy this thing since I had 500 gold laying around.. And I decided to go for another upgraded habitat.
I now have 3 Raging Rocks and 4 Glorious Groves

TL, make this cave thingy permanent and I'll be the first to buy all 5 of them :)

Isn't it cheaper to just buy the gold that we would make a profit of than buying the gold to buy the cave? Just saying 250 gold 9.99 or 550 gold 19.99??? You will spend more to buy gold just to make a profit than buying say the 250 gold... Unless you already have the 500 gold then it's worth it otherwise not so much...

You're right, I think, unless someone wants to pay money AND collect all the time. As for me, I actually had about 800 gold saved up, so I bought it. Definitely not waking up at 3 AM though, I'll just collect every 24 hrs.

If you accidentally bought the gold mine you need at least to collect from it 24 times. That would give you 504 gold i think because i didnt use a calculator. You can mine it up to 32 times and u have an extra 16 hours. Which means u can be a little late about a 16 hours total but not everyday. The total gold it gives is about 672 if you collect it all 32 times. Remember my calculation might be wrong cause i didnt use a calculator

I will definitely be using my alarm to get up and collect my gold. I just I should have done my math before purchasing the treasure cave but its all good. I can get up and mine it in the middle of the night roughly 8 times within the 30 days. Not too big of a deal. Although it would have been better to have it be mined every 24 hours so someone could have scheduled it to the time they would like and extended the days to collect from it to equal the same amount of gold u would get this way but its all good. I'm gaining a little bit of gold after being robbed of it a few times within the game, so its all good for now, but we shall see how I feel after having to wake up early and in the middle of the night after a few days. Lol But it really is up to the individual player if they want to deal with the hassle of mining every 22 hours. Its not for everyone. But if u want a little extra gold that u don't have to pay for then its worth it. Hope this helps! :-)

You don't have to get up in the middle of the night. As long as you collect every 24 hours you won't lose gold.

I would buy another one if they did.

@sollia: It was a cave they offered for a short time that cost 500 gold and you "mined" it for 30 days. If you mined it each day at the 22hr time you gained 672 for the month and that ended up being a profit of 172 for the month.

Hmm. While I suppose in the end you profit I don't know if I could spend that kind of money when something may prevent me from collecting.

But it seems like a good seller for TL so I don't see why they wouldn't bring it back.

I actually liked the cave. If I had the 500 gold just sitting there I'd have used it all in a couple days or lost in by accident. I just hope we can store it when it's done.

cheenuts
02-06-13, 03:40 PM
I liked the idea of storing and spending only a certain amount a day. And it was SAFE. I hope you can let us deposit another 500 gold, or even more. Would be nice if we can use it, rather than just placing it as a decoration or selling it for 13000.

The Treasure Cave is not currently available for all users. Any further details are TBD.

How it works:
You can buy the Treasure Cave for Gold. The Treasure Cave has a count down. You can mine 21 Gold every 22 hours from the Treasure Cave. The Treasure Cave has an expiration time, in which it can no longer be mined.

Is there anything in the works where we might be able to recharge our empty treasure caves for a reduced price? It's fairly attractive, but you can't put it in storage or rotate it. I know I can sell it but I'd really like to keep it in the hopes we can recharge them! I spent real money to buy it and would really like to see this offered again!

02-21-13, 01:52 PM
Can someone explain to me how to treasure cave really works? I'm assuming from the description, that you can get gold from it everyday. Probably a random amount but, is there a range of how much gold you get?

Also what I really want to know is if the treasure cave really runs out of gold after a certain amount of usage. Because in the description it says to "mine everyday before it's mined out."

The Treasure Cave expires 30 Days after you buy it. Every 22 hours, it will give you 21 Gold until it expires.

So u'll have to collect it every 22 hours or it will not continue to produce gold until u collected them? So u're not gonna collecting 42 golds at one shot if u collect after 44 hrs, it'll be still 21 gold right?

You cannot mine the same cave again. When it expires, you will need to purchase a new cave when you get the offer .

You do get to keep the cave for a decoration after it expires.

The Treasure Cave expires 30 Days after you buy it. Every 22 hours, it will give you 21 Gold until it expires.

Okay so the cave costs 500 gold. If you can collect from it every 22 hrs and get 21 gold lets figure this out. There are 24 hrs in one day and the cave lasts 30 days so that equals 720 hours. So now let's divide that by 22 to figure out how many times we can actually collect from it. That comes out to be 32.7272 so you can collect from it 32 times before it expires. If you collect 21 gold each time then you end up with a maximum of 672 gold which means you can make 172 gold off the cave from mining as long as you don't miss any days of mining.
