A thief appears on the map carrying stolen alliance resources. The goal is to find and beat them before the event timer runs out. Check the remaining time before attacking: if you can’t finish the target off in time, the attempt may not pay off.
Picking a target
The event lets you choose thieves of different strength, including Gold Thief and Boss Thief. Target level and type determine the reward set.
The illustration shows two groups of targets: level ranges 5–75 and 80–100. The stronger target’s preview shows an extra chest, but the full reward lineup and count aren’t visible in this fragment. So before the fight, go by the preview in the game itself, not just the thief’s name.
Which target to attack
- Take the stronger thief if you can confidently beat it before the timer runs out and the troop or healing cost is acceptable for you.
- Pick the weaker target if the higher range requires finishing it off at heavy losses, or there’s a risk of running out of time. A guaranteed win beats a failed attempt chasing a nicer-looking preview.
- Compare not just level but also the rewards shown before the attack. The lineup can differ between thief types.
- If you’re not strong enough alone, check with the alliance in advance whether a target can be cleared together: the availability and rules of that kind of help aren’t confirmed yet.
Lion Coin and the exchange shop
Thief targets drop Lion Coin. Coins should be saved up during the event, then spent at the Thief Hunt Exchange Shop. A confirmed useful trade is Raven Essence, needed for the Alliance Duel/Raven branch.
The shop illustration shows several reward options: two kinds of gold tokens or tickets (one with a star, one with a paw print), sacks of coins, grain, and green plants, plus a scroll set with a blue flask. Offers have different prices and limits, but the exact item names and exchange terms aren’t shown clearly enough in the image.
What to buy first
If you’re developing the Alliance Duel/Raven branch, save Lion Coin for Raven Essence first. Spend the rest on whatever resource is scarcest for your shelter, checking the in-game item name — the icons in the illustration alone aren’t enough to reliably identify every shop slot.
Before trading, check each slot’s limit and how long the shop stays open. Don’t spend coins on ordinary resources until you’ve bought the limited items you need, if they can’t be gotten as easily elsewhere.
What’s still unconfirmed
- How often the event runs and its repeat schedule.
- The exact hunt duration and how long the exchange shop stays open.
- Full requirements for Gold Thief and Boss Thief and whether they can be attacked together.
- Exact rewards for each target level.
- Exact prices, limits, and the full exchange shop lineup, including the Lion Coin to Raven Essence rate.
