Hunt for Treasure in Pet Society: A Brief Guide

Last updated: 9 July 2010

This is a guide to treasure hunting in Pet Society. For the complete list of Town Forest, Enchanted Forest and Ancient Egypt Treasure Hunt loot, please check this post.

Here is the FAQ provided by the Pet Society blog:

What is Treasure Hunt?
Treasure Hunt is a new feature that lets you dig for treasure. Currently there are three areas where you can dig: the Town Forest, Enchanted Forest and Ancient Egypt.

What items can I find?
Items that you find in Treasure Hunt are not available anywhere else. You can find a number of different kinds of treasure. In the Town Forest, there are 10 cool treasures, plus the extremely rare Forest Aquarium. Can you find it? What about the special weekly themed item? Collect all seven pieces for the Dinosaur Skeleton, then display it proudly in your room.

Can treasures be gifted?
Yes, you can send treasures to a friend, just like normal items.

How much are treasures worth?
The value of each treasure in the Town Forest ranges from 50 coins up to 3,500 for the Forest Aquarium.

How do I get free shovels?
Every day you get up to 5 free shovels to use that day. If you don’t use them, you lose them! Of course any shovels that you have bought are yours to use any day you like.

Why don’t I see where I dug before?
Whenever you leave the Town Forest, the map will reset. You of course keep whatever treasures you found, but will have to start digging again in a different part of the forest.

Will there be more treasures and map sites?
You bet!

Start your treasure hunt!

One can either click the hunt for treasure button on your playing screen or choose the World Map from the town map.

Area I – Town Forest

1) Check your treasure screen & click “Dig Now”

2) Buy shovels

It costs 300 coins per 5 shovels. 5 shovels = 5 digs. Not cheap, especially since it might take a lot of digging to find one treasure.

3) Start digging!

Click on a square and start digging. Occasionally, you will will find clues like “Treasure very close” or “Treasure is nearby”. There will also be Xs and ?s to help you guess where they’re hidden.

4) Collect your treasures

As soon as you get 4 treasures, the session will stop and you will be prompted if you want to dig again.

Area II – Enchanted Forest

The Enchanted Forest is a new area in the treasure, released on 25 June 2010.

1) Unlock the forest by building a hot air balloon

3) Buy/Ask for the materials

From the Official Blog:

… you can enlist the help of your friends to assist you in obtaining each of the required materials (Fabric, Rope and Rattan Sticks) as they are new Collaborative Items, alternatively you can choose to purchase the materials with Playfish Cash. Once you have all the required materials select “Build” to complete your Hot Air Balloon!

It’s much better to ask for the materials from friends. I got all 15 items in less than 2 days. That way, you get it for free. Accepting requests and gifts from friends would have to be done through the Facebook confirmation page.

4) Build your hot air balloon

5) Start digging & collect your treasures!

Area III – Ancient Egypt

Ancient Egypt is a new area in the treasure, released on 8 July 2010.

1) Go to Ancient Egypt from the Treasure Map

2) Dig for Treasures

3) Collect them all!

This guide will be updated every time there is a new addition. I hope you found this brief guide useful. I’m really excited about this new feature. What do you think?
