Item Descriptions
Dangerous Fireworks–
The best way to enjoy these is to light one and hold it in your hand until it explodes. Then you and your crew can play a nice game of ‘find my fingers’. Fun for everyone!
Body Bag–
It’s a fact of life—your poor, precious crewmembers will probably die. You, as their leader, will be forced to bury them. Give them some dignity and place them in this body bag. Or use it to carry your hats.
Flamethrower–
Yes, you could use this to burn down the camps of your rivals, but really, it has a better purpose—frying all the icky bats and spiders that inhabit the tombs you visit. Enemies willing to gut you? All in a day’s work. But spiders? Gross.
Poison Tipped Arrows–
Sure, a bullet kills instantly, but poison takes ages. That’s way more fun to watch! Er, I mean…it’s silent. Yeah, use it because it’s silent.
The Undertanker–
Introducing the new standard in deadly warfare; The Undertanker. Lock your doors and hide your children, for The Undertanker is taking names and making house calls. Not in a Santa sort of way, but in a Death sort of way.
Pumice Stone–
Like, just because you’re working doesn’t mean you have to neglect your skin. Like, just use this pumice stone to, like, totally polish your rough elbows.
Quest Descriptions
Decode the Hieroglyphs–
Oh no! The boy who carried your hats fell down a pit to his death. He will be missed. More importantly, he discovered a door covered in hieroglyphs at the bottom that might lead to another chamber. What do the hieroglyphs say? The Royal Privy? Cast Dirty Towels Here? Translate them to find out!
Solve the Puzzle–
You have come across three sarcophagi arranged in a triangle. A square tile rests in the middle, and striking it produces a hollow echo behind. Perhaps the sarcophagi are part of a puzzle. Solve the puzzle so you can remove the tile and see what is behind!
Boss Fight – Anubis–
As your crew reaches for the gems covering the statue’s nipples, the figure begins to tremble. A fireball shoots from the gems and engulfs your crew members, incinerating them. A spirit emerges from the statue, growling in some unearthly language. It is Anubis, and he has arrived to protect his nipples. You could flee, but imagine how many hats you could buy with that gold! Defeat Anubis and claim the gold. Then write consoling letters to the mothers of your dead crew.

Collections–
Collections are rare items that drop while doing quests. They have no battle value while raiding, but hey, they look pretty darned cool. If you complete an entire collection set, click the ‘Bank Set’ button to exchange the collection for the specified bonus.
Properties–
Owning properties is a great way to earn cash. Buy a property and over time it will generate funds for you. You may collect from your properties once every 24 hours. If you want to force your properties to pay early, you can pay some credits to do so. You can buy multiples of the same property, but be warned, the purchase price goes up each time!
