Treasures

Unique loot system of Caballus - Treasures

On Caballus, instead of Air Drops you can find Treasures, a loot system different from  ARK: Survival Evolved. The Treasures match better to the background story and I want people to search harder for good Loot. REALLY GOOD LOOT.

The quality of Treasures are higher, so it is often possible to find ascendant Items and BPs.

I changed the content of the Treasures, so that there are no items like a blueprint for a doorframe in it.

Quality chain is: green - blue - yellow - red (underwater) - purple.

In the Treasures are Blueprints from the DLC Maps, too: For example a whip, or a Snow Owl Saddle BP.

The Treasures also contain the Csikos Diamond, the Huns Diamons and the Scythen Diamond.

Background Story and Current Content

Blank.png
Regions of Caballus
Mod Caballus Map.png

Caballus is a world born out of the heat.

Grown from lava, cooled and hardened in the wild sea. The largest of the Caballic islands. The still intact volcano formed a multi-faceted world with a variety of biomes, recourses and lives over millennia. Not long was this piece of earth left uninhabited. Ancient nomads first reached the coast of neighbouring islands, until they discovered the richness of resources of Caballus. The different nations were all equestrian folks: numerous, with strength and war experience; always with the goals of reaching wealth and making progress. They changed Caballus a lot, but as a completely new world Caballus turned everything upside down. New creatures were fought, nations continued their education, domestication started, new battles had to be won and leaders were overthrown. But who has remained?

Greed is a sin: Caballus stayed with the wild creatures, remaining horses, ruins and hidden treasures. Were they the first? Even this civilization did not discover all the secrets of this graceful lovely world.


What's your decision?

Cooperation or war?

Which of the equestrian peoples suits your character?


Three nations fought for Caballus:

The Blue Scythians, who populated the areas of Griffin Mountain, Redwood and the area covered with snow.

The Green Huns, which conquered the grassland, the swamp and the jungle.

Finally the Red Csíkos who managed the impetuous and threatening volcano area with the Black Widen and the Steppe.

Caballus Adventure and Custom Boss

As endgame content Caballus has an adventure and a custom MiniBoss fight.

Adventure

The adventure can only be entered through the adventure portal at 17/74. You need several Tribute items to join the adventure and must be at least level 75.

Necessary Items:

  • 120 carrots
  • 1 Gatekeeper's Artifact (DungeonCave: The SunkenGarden)
  • 1 Artifact of Crag (DungeonCave: GriffinStronghold)
  • 1 Destroyer's Artifact (DungeonCave: FleshCaverns)
  • 10 ShimmerGriffin Feathers (farmable in the ShimmerGriffin Nests, or in a dead ShimmerGriffin's inventory)
  • 15 Horseshoes (in the Treasure, farmable in some places with E)
  • 1 Shimmer Unicorn Poop
  • 10 apples (in SunkenGarden Cave)

No dinosaurs are allowed in the adventure! It is advisable to travel with a group, or alone very well equipped! Once joined, you cannot exit the quest (only by dying or completing the quest). In the adventure itself you have to find four artifacts. The adventure is set up as a tube system, meaning an artifact can be found in the first room (treasure chamber), an artifact can be found in the second room (labyrinth), an artifact can be found in the third room (lava room) and an artifact can be found in the fourth room (water room) there is an artifact to be found. You need this to return to the surface at the terminal in the middle of the lava room! But don't forget the reward beforehand: in the glowing room (next to the lava room there is a farmable mutagen!
In addition, you can find four hints in the rooms about numbers that have to be pressed at the secret door in the order of the rooms. Behind the door in the water are the ShimmerElement stones that you have to farm. The ShimmerElement is the tribute to the MiniBoss fight.

Mini Boss

The cave to the MiniBoss can be found at 47 / 19, the MiniBoss fight can only be fought there. You must be at least level 75 to fight. To get into the cave you first have to decode the EasterEgg, you can find the five clues all over the map (little word puzzles). The door is open long enough to bring in enough dinosaurs, but the door can also be opened easily from the inside. As a tribute, 10 ShimmerElement are required, which you can only find in the adventure. In the fight you have to face Icarus, Adonis and Rih, the four god horses of Caballus. As a reward you will find the Pegasus Treasure in the boss room, this contains a BP for a ShimmerPegasus. Icarus Skin, Adonis Skin, and Rih Skin are required for crafting. The BP can only be used once, the ShimmerPegasus appears tamed.
