I had a bunch of ideas I wanted to share for possible promotions as well as some QOL changes that could happen. When I say "TH Expansion" I don't mean an actual expansion in a single update, I just mean ideas to implement over time. Treasure Hunter is one of the pieces of content I spend the most of my time doing because I enjoy it so that's why I am posting these ideas. Not to mention the last time I made a thread like this, we got the "Coming Soon" feature as well as Portable Vic which was in the thread.

I do take treasure hunter very seriously. Sometimes I'm playing Treasure Hunter to train a couple hundred alts and sometimes its for money making on thousands of alts. Anyways, the first part of the thread will have Promotion Ideas and the second part of the thread will have QOL ideas.

Promotion Ideas:

Mysteria (v3)

- This promotion could work similar to the existing mysteria promotion but it could include a different set of existing promotions. Maybe we could include pheonix lamps, loot duels, crystal capsules and ring of shards. It doesn't have to be those exact 4, but it should be 4 different promotions in a new iteration of the mysteria promotion.

Volcanic Chest

- This chest should be added to the Loot Duels promotion and contain the existing volcanic/erupting lamps.

Put the Portable Vic Summoning Stone in Treasure Hunter as a reward

- I think this reward caters to the people who already have 200m in a lot of skills. I constantly see people ask for the ability to not get bonus xp in skills they already have xp in, but adding a chance to win the portable vic stone (one time use) to TH would cater to that audience. It would probably have to be a purple slot prize ofcourse but I think it would be a cool addition.

Invention Component packs

- Add these as small rewards that can be won off TH. It could give you 5 of a random invention component.

Ghostweave Chocolates
- Underlined, bolded, and golden. I was going to put this in the "Promotions that should be brought back section", but I like these items so much that they deserve their own header. Ghostweave chocolates should be on Treasure Hunter atleast once or twice a year. I don't mind how they're brought back as long as they come back. Maybe they could be brought back from pinatas or maybe as a possible reward from smashing relics? Currently smashing relics are a bit lackluster and less rewarding than they were in the past.

Lucky Hexhunter Bow/Terrasaur Maul

- These would be cool additions to see to the lucky family. The lucky variants wouldn't be augmentable so they won't outshine the non-lucky versions.

Crystal Capsules (v3)

- This iteration could be similar to the existing Crystal Capsules Promotion but with a few additions.

1. More shadow gem nex armor (torva/pernix).
2. Similar to how with there is a chance to double your smouldering lamps in a loot duels promotion, add that feature to the cash prize of shadow gem but make it rare.
3. If this promotion ever gets a rendition based on the "blind choice" change that's starting to happen, don't make the promotion worse than it is.. be fair. For example, if someone comes across a shadow gem, let them have the option to pick from 3 shadow gem rewards. Don't throw in prismatics and all the other things that aren't shadow gem prizes.

Felix Outfit Bonanza

- We don't need to give it that name, but this promotion would include all of the Felix Outfit pieces up to this point into one promotion to give people a chance to re-win them. I personally am not a felix guy myself but I think this would be a good promotion still.

Purchaseable Hearts of Ice

- Allow people to purchase packs of Hearts of Ice similar to how you can purchase keys.

Promotions that should be Brought back

:

-

Sceptre of Enchantment (Valentine's Slams) - Grants 4% more xp for 24 hours.

-

Walk Override Promotions

- Zombie Walk, Assassin Walk, etc..
-

Nic the Trader

- He hasn't been back since 2018.
-

Golden tool Promotions

- The XP was great and it caters to people who either want a little xp or a lot since there is the option to use normal tools or golden tools.
-

Smouldering Volcano Promotion

-

Parcels from the Hedge

- Nice little reward for logging in.
-
The daily prize claim event that we had that spanned for like 10 days around Feburary 2020? If you had claimed 5 rewards then you could get double what the prize was a few days later.
(I forget the name)
-

Pinata Promotions

- In some form or fashion I would like Pinatas to make a comeback this year or next year or at some point. We used to get them from the beach and from the Winter Advent Calendar but we no longer get them. A lot of people love the concept of looting the pinata to see what rewards they get. Some of us were hoping to get some of these from the last advent calendar but we didn't.
-

More Advent Calendar promotions

QOL Ideas

Like I said, I play treasure hunter a lot, so these ideas stem from that.

These first two ideas could both be within a new interface that could be made. Currently there is the section of Treasure Hunter where you can choose what gets auto redeemed and what skills prismatic xp will go into etc.. well what if there were an expanded interface that had some more qol features like the ones I've listed below.

Convert all rewards of a specific category to Oddments

- For example, if I want all cosmetics that I win to be converted to oddments, that can be an option. That way each and every cosmetic that is won doesn't need to be manually converted. There is the concern of if someone wants just 1 cosmetic but forgets that they have this turned on. Well there could be either a message in the dialogue box or a different part of TH summarizing what categories of rewards they currently are converting to oddments.

Treasure Hunter Keybinds

- As of now the most functionality that we get out of Treasure Hunter is the space bar. Maybe there could be a place in the new TH QOL interface where we can choose what key/letter would do when typed. In short, there should be a keybinds section specifically for Treasure Hunter. If I type the letter C while Treasure Hunter is open, I'd like to get the dialogue box asking me if I want to convert my prize, and if I hit a different key (I don't know, we'll say T), then I'll claim the prize. This is just to add more functionality for people who like to engage in Treasure Hunter every day. Again, it doesn't have to be 'c' for convert unless I choose the letter 'c' to be the converting key.

Bring more elite skilling outfits to F2P

- I believe some of the elite skilling outfits are still members only and untradeable/unusable in F2P. I think at one point it was discussed that more skilling outfits would be made F2P at some point. I'm not saying they should be able to earn them via skilling, I'm just saying they should be able to be worn and used if won off TH in F2P.

Treasure Hunter Interface Skins

- Maybe we could see a different color background for the interface. Free of charge.

Treasure Hunter interaction in a resized window in Legacy Mode

- Maybe its just be but when I'm using my keys on my alts in legacy mode, the whole process feels really clunky with dead clicks. Is there anyway we could smoothen out the using of keys in Legacy? Again, this might just be me.

Regarding the 200m Prize

- We need to talk about this 200m Prize. This prize has been in game for ages. I don't want the prize to be removed, I actually want the cash prize to be increased a little bit because 200m in 2020 doesn't scale with the times. I get that its money that was won, but maybe it could be increased to 350m or 400m, OR make 100m variants instead but scale them down so that they have the same rarity of lucky chaotic equipment. (I think certain purple prizes have higher rarity than others)

Additional Suggestions

5/4/19

-

Add Ghostweave chocolates to Vic the Trader's store

5/13/20

-

Make Prismatic Stars stackable (50 max before having to be used)

. I think we're at the point in Rs where we're seeing a lot more items become stackable. I think when it comes to prismatic stars and using them up in bulk, it could make them a little more friendly to use up if they were stackable. Obviously since the idea of banking xp is frowned upon, that's why we could maybe get some kind of limit on the number you can stack. This idea doesn't have to just be for stars but for lamps too.

5/13/30

-

Protean Box

- A box simply made to tote around all your proteans you have. Maybe you could also charge your box with protean powerups, so you could right click the box and activate the protean powerups speeds increase. But the main idea for this is to just have place to store all your proteans. How do you make the protean box? You collect Protean Essense off of Treasure Hunter and imbue it to create this box that is strong enough to hold all of your proteans.

Audiences that benefit from this: Protean lovers/users, People who want proteans to take up less bank space, People who like XP, and even the people who are against XP promos would like this because it's not an xp-centric promotion. It's just a box for convenience.

I read trough it all and I support some of it. I have played TH from time to time.

Bringing Vic to treasure hunter sounds like a good idea.

Converting all cosmetics into oddments is a good idea.

I cant see why purchasing hearts of ice should be a bad idea so bring it on

Increasing the 200M price to something more 2020= support.

I am not as sure about bringing in lucky Terrasaul maul/Hexhunter bow. It sounds too overpowered.

Also having invention packs in treasure hunter sounds like it would mess up the game too much.

I have no particular opinion on the rest of you points for now. It seems like you put a lot of consideration into that post.

Maybe I will comment on some more in a follow up post later.

No support.

If you want the extra benefits of the elite outfits just get membership.

I mean earning enough money ingame for a bond really isnt that hard nowadays so.

Thanks for reading. I don't think the lucky terra/hex would be too op to add because the lucky versions can't be augmented so it's not like anybody would be having the best in slot from winning one, but it would still be a pretty powerful thing to have won.

Also the invention packs wouldn't be a huge amount of components, it'd be kind of hat they have going for the new components from arch. Like if you win a pack off TH, maybe you'd get 5 deflecting components or something small. Currently invention doesn't have much on Treasure Hunter to support the skill.
