    Hello All!

    I decided to make a post because it's been awhile since I've done so, and because I just made some stuff that will soon be available as part of the whole set of "Pirate Themed" stuff in our Store!

    I present to you all, my Piles of Treasure decorative objects!

    I'm really excited by them because of the way they look, and I'm so glad we got around to making these as player decorations, especially now that we have all those cool new Dungeons to place them in!

    I think folks will love these... I've made 8 individual objects to sell; small, medium, and large piles of gold both with and without miscellaneous treasure mixed in, plus two open chests of treasure, one gold coins only, and one with added treasure... I've also made them so you can push them together a bit so the piles blend together in cool ways, and which also allows you to sink ankle-deep in the coins themselves...

    Here you can see I made my barn into a treasure chamber! ^_^

    And here you can imagine these filling people's dungeon rooms like dragon hoards! Fun stuff!

    Anyway, hopefully you fine folks like these as much as I do... They should be available soon!

    Enjoy!

    Scottie ^_^

    How about making them loot on Monsters that might compile loot like this. Rare items and I mean rare not the drop every 5th time for two weeks then turned back off to a reasonable level, Make the truly rare and after a month look and see how many have dropped per kill (and by whom) and adjust the drop rates to accommodate. The should almost be impossible to get at first.

    DO NOT ALLOW FOR THEM TO BE FARMED UP FRONT , then backpedal and lower the drop rate like has been done with almost EVERY "Rare" item.

    It is easier to increase to make them worth it than have them flooded at the start then turn them down making the ones who have 30 kings with a valuable items and the rest who try just don't because they are wasting their time.

    Amazing work, as always, Scottie!

    Can you see if we can get a Public Cache version of of of these treasure piles? It would be great to make a treasure room in our dungeon and actually stock it with a reward for adventurers!

    I loved that treasure scene in the movie and especially the dragon Smag's eye peeking through. Very eerie and exciting ;)



    he is my favorite dragon ever. ;)

    While these look great - why can't we put down gems, gem fragments, coins, even merge our quest items from completed quests or similar stuff in various formations to compile/forge our unique individual treasure hoard ourself (which can be broken up again if needed)?

    Greetings all and Scottie.
    I love the piles of gold and the way you can rotate them and connect them to make bigger piles. I agree they will look great in the dungeons. I can see someone using the railway dungeon, filling it with piles of gold and putting a tamed dragon in there and calling hm Smaug. I want to use the piles in my basement where I keep my chest of collectables. The Image would be perfect! Thank you Scottie for your creativity.

    Now for the crafting recipe, just so long as its not one gold coin to craft each coin seen in the image ……

    These are super cool, and much welcomed for player dungeons. Thanks!

    They'd be great as spawn triggers... Most often giving you a few gold coins, occasionally triggering.... something ... nasty, protecting its hoard.

    Looking at this I feel like we need a rolling around in gold and maybe a "Scrooge McDuck" emote where we swim in the gold.
