Beachcombing & Daily Orders

A message in a bottle is often just the damp last will of a fool who overlooked the reef.

TL;DR: The sea regularly washes things onto your shore.

- Beachcombing items appear randomly and vanish after a few hours

- Rewards range from resources to temporary bonuses

- Collect regularly so nothing goes to waste

How Beachcombing Works #

The ocean is fickle, but occasionally generous. At irregular intervals, items wash up on your island's beach. You will see a notice on your island page when something new has arrived.

Beachcombing items disappear again if you do not collect them in time. You have a window of several hours before the tide carries them away.

Reward Types #

What the sea brings depends on chance:

• Resources -- The most common find. Gold, Stone or Wood, sometimes in larger quantities.
• Double resources -- Occasionally the haul is especially rich.
• Build-time bonus -- Rarer but valuable: for a limited time your build durations are reduced.

The amount of resources scales with your account age. Veteran governors find more valuable things on the beach than newcomers.

Beachcombing Notifications #

You can enable an email notification in your settings that alerts you when new beachcombing items wash ashore. This way you miss nothing, even when you are not in the game.

Strategy #

• Check in regularly -- Beachcombing items expire if you ignore them
• Enable notifications -- Especially useful if you are not constantly online
• Check your storage -- Make sure your warehouse has room before collecting
• Treasure Hunter quest -- Collecting beachcombing items counts toward the Treasure Hunter quest path
