Treasure Hunt #1: 19th February – 5th March

Today I’ll start the first event. The event will last 2 weeks (or until someone finds the treasure).

It’s absolutely free. NO COSTS, NO REGISTRATION! Everyone can simply join and search for the treasure. Once you found it, submit a screenshot at

Before you start, make sure to read the FAQ and the Rules.

The event

I’ve hidden a small treasure somewhere on Eudoria. It’s TT value isn’t high, in order to prevent from people profiting who aren’t participating. Once you found this treasure, you have to make a screenshot which shows your avatar, the item on the ground, current time and position (P-Key in-game) as well as your name visible and your skills window sorted by points so we can verify that you’re qualified for the event. Don’t for get to add the current event password/key-phrase

Important: Make sure to use the current event password/key-phrase when submitting your screenshots! The event password/key-phrase will change regularly, so make sure you’ll check out often enough to see if there are new hints and/or event password/key-phrase.

The wining pot will be 10 PED for now, this may grow up if the events become more popular and the payout rate is 100%. Every time, a new hint is released where to find the treasure, the payout rate will be reduced by 25%.

The Hints

Hint #1

The treasure is located somewhere inside the red area. The current event’s

Entropia Treasurehunt Event #01 - Hint 1 

Hint #2

Well it’s more like extra information, as i realized that “Animal Oil” is often placed by players and made “stucked” so it can’t be picked up. I will only use items for the treasure hunt event which can be picked up again. The main reason is that after a few events there would be many old “treasures” left and I’m no fan of trashing up the world.

Well, the actual treasure i have hidden somewhere in the red area are 2 Lysterium ingots!

I also decided to increase the winning pot to 20.00 PED as 10.00 PED seemed a bit low for the beginning and the duration of the event.

Hint #3

As the participation seems somewhat low, I’ll give out the next hint.

Entropia Treasurehunt Event #01 - Hint 3

Hint #4

Event #01-04

One additional hint: It’s near or inside an structure (vehicle, building, wreckage etc.)

Hint #5

Event #01-05

Update: Today the second time the treasure was picked up, but no submission came. I replaced it. If anyone comes with an better idea on how to handle this without random people picking it up (and without “locking” it), drop me an email at

For the introduction events (and the low winning pot) there won’t be any payout penalties for hints. How ever, in later events with higher winning pots, penalties may be applied.

Donators/Sponsors

Currently there are no Donators/Sponsors

Winning pot

The current winning pot consists of:

  • Advertisement/My own Money: 20.00 PED
  • Donations: 0.00 PED
  • Sponsors: 0.00 PED
  • Total: 20.00 PED
  • Payout: 20.00 PED (100%)

How does it work?

It’s very simple, really! You just need to walk through the given area and search for it. Once you think you found it, make a screenshot with the necessary information visible in the screen shot (check out the Rules before starting!) and set it to

Important: Be sure to have 2 things in the subject-line of the mail “Entropia Treasure Hunt” and the current event’s password.
Example: If the current event’s password is “beginner”, the email subject has to be “Entropia Treasure Hunt – beginner”.

The current password can be found on the right side in the navigation!!!

You can basically submit as much screenshots as you want, however to many may disqualify you, especially if we notice that you’re trying to cheat (i.e. faked or edited screenshots). Screenshots have to be in JPEG or PNG format, BITMAPS won’t be accepted!!!

Also, you don’t have to look for all the time. You can just normally go out and hunt or do mining and if you find accidently find it, submit the picture.

If you have any questions, ask it either in the comments or send a mail to

Hope many people will participate and if you’re in-game business owner who wants to sponsor one of the future events, send an email to the address above.

Happy treasure hunting!
