A secret about ancient pirate maps has escaped the kingdom walls. Be among the first ones to discover them. If you manage to find 4 pieces of the ancient pirate map, you will find the hideout of legendary treasure. Pirate coins can be used to purchase mighty artifacts or to summon the Bone dragon to your army.
The event lasts 6 days. The player has to raid event camps in order to obtain parts of the Treasure map. After combining the four parts of the Map in the forge, players can use the map to find a random treasure (three different values) which contain Pirate Coins – the event's currency. They can then use these Coins to purchase special items from the Event shop.
