Treasures
Recently 4 new Treasure collections have been released, GIFF Gnomes, Celebrating GIFF, Fossils and River Expedition Puzzle. Collections now have to be activated to collect treasures, with only 3 collections active at any one time. Some juggling of active collections may be needed to ensure maximum treasures are collected. Here are the requirements for each new collection:
GIFF Gnomes: Find 5 Mystery caches of Any Size with the Available 24/7 attribute.
Celebrating GIFF: Attend 8 Events all types count.
Fossils: Discover 6 Earthcaches, all D/T’s count.
River Expedition Puzzle: This new Treasure collection is only available for Premium members, and it’s a little different from previous collections as each treasure is piece of a jigsaw. Complete the collection to complete the puzzle and earn a souvenir. The puzzle has 16 pieces, and each piece has unique criteria based on difficulty and terrain ratings.
