What's New?

Open up the Treasure Hunter interface and you'll meet Alice - the Treasure Hunter hostess - who'll quickly take you through the new interface and the basics of the game.

If you're used to Squeal of Fortune, you'll feel right at home with Treasure Hunter. Everyone has at least one opportunity per day to open a chest containing a randomly chosen prize.

The chests are opened with keys, which replace spins and are obtained in the same ways: free players get one daily (two if you're a member, or three if you're a Gold or Silver Premier Club member), and you can get more through Daily Challenges, quests, killing monsters, non-combat skilling, and certain minigames. You can also buy extra keys through the website.
Please note that any existing spins you had left over from Squeal of Fortune have automatically been converted to Treasure Hunter keys.

The range of prizes on offer is similar to Squeal of Fortune, but you'll find that the prizes you receive are aimed at your current skill levels. Your prizes should be of immediate use in your skill training, and we hope you'll want to cash out less frequently and keep much more of what you win.

That said, we've added a few new prizes to the roster: lucky versions of the Bandos helmet, Armadyl crossbow and the garb, gown and hood of subjugation, as well as an all-new mimic pet!



To help you get what you want from Treasure Hunter, we've introduced Hearts of Ice. Prizes are categorised by the skill they're related to, and Hearts of Ice allow you to 'freeze' these categories when you next open a chest.

For example, say you've maxed out the Cooking skill - you could use a Heart of Ice to freeze the Cooking category, to guarantee that your next chest contains something other than a Cooking-related item. Each time you open a chest, you can use up to 10 Hearts of Ice to freeze different categories.

To get you started, we've given you 100 Hearts of Ice right away. You can get more through Daily Challenges, or bundled with Treasure Hunter keys bought via our website.

This seems cool

Meh, hearts of ice just seem like a new marketing ploy to me but whatever

Well landed on a Sara Sword tonight on my CB account and ended up with 2 small prismatic lamps so I don't know..

Do skill levels affect what lamps/fallen stars you will get at all or do they only affect misc items? Are each item in one category equally rare? For example, small fishing lamp and 3 blue dragonhides, which both are in the common category, are they equally common?

I saw posts on hlf that made me laugh, guys commenting on alice's boobs lmfao

I don't understand this. The hearts, what do you do?

you can use hearts to iliminate options, say you dont want any lamps to do with attack, you can freeze then for 1 key use so you get no attack lamps or stars etc

Oh, so these won't last long? Meaning they want you to buy more?

Exactly, they last only for one chest

I'm sure you can earn them by finding things around 'scape, like spin tickets could be. I.e challenges or drops? I know you can find more keys but I thought I read you could get more hearts to. I was tired last night reading though haha.

you find keys as they replaced spin tickets, but as for hearts i think you have to buy them.

yeah, does sound like it's a marketing ploy. Still, it's be happy not to see yelps anymore.

You get one heart with each key you find. Not sure how you can get more hearts I'm still contemplating whether it's worth blocking a skill. If you're unlucky, you will block a prismatic
