Chest and Treasure System

Chest and Treasure controls are part of the premium inventory ecosystem and are used for case-battle and loot reward flows.

Recommended Rollout

  1. Create chest types first with /chest add.
  2. Add weighted treasure rewards with /treasure add.
  3. Validate reward pools with /treasure list.
  4. Run a controlled test case battle with /battle chest.
  5. Publish drop-rate policy to staff before public rollout.

Chest and Treasure Commands

/chest add|edit|list|remove
/treasure add|edit|list|remove
/battle chest

Guardrails

  • Treat high-value rewards as approval-gated changes.
  • Keep chest images and names consistent with your category naming conventions.
  • Re-test weights after each major economy change or wipe.

Example Use Case

/category add name:"Weapons"
/product add-item category:"Weapons" name:"Pistol" item:"pistol.revolver" price:250 server:"US Main"

Common Issues

Likely Cause

Premium not active, or Market toggle disabled.

  • Market has a 19-listing cap and 24-hour listing expiration.
  • Review high-value products and cooldowns weekly to reduce abuse.
