If you really want to do treasure hunt you could do the almost 1 year spooky title quest
please stop speaking like this it is very annoying just speak like a normal person
I’ve found those signs… I asked Dom if it was active he gave me a non answer… 
IMO the inactive signs should be removed

Frankly, I don’t see anything staff can do about it, there is not much we can realistically do about these chests. These treasures aren’t as valuable as, e.g. guardian farms, for staff to step in and regulate.
In my opinion, the community can reach a consensus on it, e.g. to allow third-parties to open the containers, which I would be happy to see, but otherwise it’s not worth the effort.
I’m not closing this topic, feel free to discuss what you think, but keep the discussion civil and avoid name-calling and insults, thanks.

I haven’t asked staff to do anything… I’m simply asking for the reason people are claiming these spots… it’s not to build, at least that I can see… Every time I get near a buried treasure I don’t even bother looking, I just type /f map and go right to the spot a single claim right on the treasure for no other reason than to withhold it from players… These are just my opinions but I’d seriously like an answer to my question from the holders of these claims…
I think part of the reason they are being claimed is because they’re in short supply at the moment, part of what regenning them from before they were unbreakable/refill was supposed to solve; however, that is a lengthy process…
Notably we have had discussion on people trying to claim random structures like burried treasures in the middle nowhere just to do nothing with them. We have yet to find a suitable solution that isn’t overly limiting to players while still preventing it from happenning… its a hard balance

They’re not too bad… Anything within like 6-7k from spawn is all ToRegen for the most part… And even if the supply is short, I do not understand the reasoning behind claiming something with a single use… If you’ve claimed it you’ve most likely looted it… so why grief others?
I was thinking about wut Ibu just said about it being not as valuable as a g-farm… I can take you to 6 unclaimed G-farms built or unbuilt… I cannot however take you to 6 unclaimed buried treasures xD

If I had to guess, it’s because guardian farms require a lot more claims and because we have explicitly set a limit of 1 on how many farms one faction can own.
I think it would be cool if the community banded up and allowed others to use treasure chests claimed by their faction, but that’d be a solution for you guys to figure out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

gfarms and treasures are nowhere near comparable structures.
They are fundamentally different since really only one public gfarm needs to exist that everyone can reasonably use, after that it is rather pointless for people to claim more (or even detrimental in wasting claims on a worse designed farm)
If you look at the XP farm leaderboard at /warp x, you’ll see that the best public gfarm is about ~2.38x the next best public gfarm in xp produced per hour. There is simply no point in wasting 16 claims and spending the resources/time to build another when you can use a public one without doing any work. Especially because if you build your own the likely result will be a worse farm because you haven’t studied game mechanics as much as another person with a public farm. Also, unlike TE, gfarms aren’t really a big thing here because theres overall better XP farm offerings. gfarms are objectively bad compared to a lot of other types of XP farms due to them damaging the player unless you’re just after prismarine. As someone who is apart of the group that owns most of the major public XP farms on the server, I can confirm to you, that despite a bit higher XP produced from the gfarm that the majority of people avoid it in favor of our other farms that don’t damage the player.
Treasures are different, they take 1 claim and since a player can only use each one once, you can’t just have a single public treasure and farm it to no end. What originally happened is when structure loot regen was added, people started claiming the limited ones that weren’t destroyed yet to hoard them for their faction and to prevent the sinking of the HOS value for their own gain, which was selfish but expected. Then the world got expanded and more were avaliable and it happened again but the HOS price ended up dropping considerably from the number of new ones accessible. At this point, it’s arguably stupid to have any of them claimed unless you’re building something else on them, but players will be players. I know a lot of players who have them claimed will let you open them if you ask, because originally some were also claimed to prevent destruction as when the loot regen was added they weren’t made indestructible until much later.
Which brings us to present, some people still have them claimed because there is a small supply, or just never unclaimed them after the world expansion or market crashed because they’re inactive. Once all the new ones are regenned, there will likely be zero value in having any claimed with the number there will be, and i suspect most of the claimed ones may actually be dumped since it’s pointless to waste claims at that point…

I am totally agree with that lol
Oh there was an inactive clue there… so technically thats not a bait. Its now recycled by Avalon to mark deep hole below that lol
Agree…. HoS is not that useful anyway. I even try to test the attacking feature of HoS and no mob die lol

Speaking of the “treasure” situation. I myself currently is a member of staff faction, and i have come across quite some chunks that my faction claimed (i think there is around 1-2 treasure chest chunk you mentioned here). But when i look into those chunks, turns out underground have more special thing than just a “treasure chest”. Spawners, and some sort of beauty & massive cave. Still i don’t understand why claiming the chunk but i doubt that the person who claimed it don’t even remember what’s the reason is…
This is just one of my experience and i think that sometime people claim the chunk doesn’t mean it all have bad intention.
But to be honest, in a small community like us here, every resources are most likely offered publicly. That’s from my perspective.
If you like to explore and fly around the World, maybe you can track down a couple of “treasure” events that player made. I believe there’s one pokemon on the run and also the Spooky title, as well as some other “treasure hunt” event that’s still going. Doesn’t always have to be looking for treasure chest xD.

Um sorry idk how to do that in mobile app….
@32294 Ok so if it’s a remnant of old claims then, fair enough… It’s still messed up in my mind but wut ever the server was different back then, nothing I can do about it besides voicing my opinion… However if a treasure is claimed I don’t think it should be lootable by anyone once… it should be lootable just once… That would deter this kind of greedy mind set and really make it a communal chest… As it stands you have to be lucky to find a lootable shipwreck, Hope it has a map, Find the location, Hope it isn’t claimed, If it is claimed, Hope the player is active, Hope they’re nice enough to let you loot… Now that’s a whole lotta luck and hope xD
I agree Guardians are really not the best in terms of exp per hr rates but they are good for exp per kill also building guardian farms is always fun BECAUSE they are so large… I love trying new things with guardian farms Bubble columns/tanks, Spawning chambers, Waterlogged Stairs, or the ol tried and true box of water xD I plan on making a bunch exp farms because that’s the kind of minecraft I enjoy…
@royalcat I wont speak on wuts beneath the treasure chests because I can’t look beneath something that’s claimed unless I claim grief it by digging holes around it… However I can speak on the dozens I’ve come across most of them are a single claim in the middle of nowhere directly on the chests often the chest has glass over it or dug out… As I stated earlier when I was looking for some of them I would just get close and type /f map it’s so boring..
**I do like to explore And I have been enjoying the pokemon scavenger hunt, the spooky title would be so much easier if the old signs were removed as of right now I have found 4 signs and each one I have to send a message to confirm if it’s active or not… Then I have to figure out wut the sign means… Is it a direction? cords? proximity? an obscure passage from a poem? the “clues” go right over my head I know I have two signs that haven’t been talked about as being “inactive” but they’re wasted on me not knowing wut the clues mean xD
Also off topic but I did recently come across your flower island and it was very lovely I didn’t leave a book however cause well I forgot, but I so wanted to tera-form the wilderness around it to make it truly a flower forest island but that might have been frowned upon lol

Those pokemon picture really bring the nostalgia…. When I play ruby Sapphire and Emerald multiple times to get as many masterballs and legendaries as I can
dawg stop using bold its hurting my eyes especially at 1 am
You know what happens if you make a treasure non-lootable if claimed?
>unclaim
>loot
>reclaim
I think this all will resolve itself once structures are regenned, further discussion until after that point is likely pointless.
