# Cursed Chests

The **Cursed Chests** system is a custom event where special chests spawn randomly in the world around major towns. Players can open these chests to trigger a multi-wave combat event, which upon successful completion, yields powerful rewards including items with rarity attributes and various upgrade orbs.

{% hint style="info" %}
Cursed Chests spawn around major towns and can be spotted easily by floating text indicating their tier (e.g., *"Legendary Cursed Chest"*).
{% endhint %}

## 📊 Tiers and Requirements

Cursed Chests come in four distinct tiers, which determine the minimum level required to open them, the difficulty of the monsters spawned, and the quality of the loot.

| Tier | Chest Type | Min Level | Spawn Chance | Monsters per Wave |
| ---- | ---------- | --------- | ------------ | ----------------- |
| 1    | Common     | 20        | 70%          | 3                 |
| 2    | Rare       | 40        | 50%          | 3                 |
| 3    | Epic       | 60        | 30%          | 4                 |
| 4    | Legendary  | 90        | 10%          | 4                 |

## 🔍 Locating Chests

Cursed Chests spawn randomly around major towns. You can easily spot them by the floating text above them indicating their tier (e.g., "Legendary Cursed Chest").

## ⚔️ The Event (Waves & Combat)

Opening a chest triggers the event. The player (and anyone nearby) must defeat **5 waves** of monsters.

* **Scaling Difficulty:** The monsters scale progressively in power from Wave 1 to Wave 5. By Wave 5, the chances of encountering high tier Elite Monsters are significantly higher.
* **Blink Warnings:** Before a monster spawns, the tile where it will appear blinks with a countdown, giving players time to prepare or reposition.
* **Time Limits:** You must defeat the waves promptly. If you take too long, the next wave will be forced upon you!

## 🎁 Rewards

If players successfully clear all 5 waves, the chest unlocks.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Once the chest unlocks, players have **60 seconds** to claim their rewards from inside the chest before it vanishes!
{% endhint %}

Those who successfully accomplish the Cursed Chests challenge are granted great rewards, which include powerful equipment and various upgrade orbs used in the Forge system. The quality and rarity of the rewards scale directly with the tier of the chest you defeat.

Additionally, **Access Scrolls** required to unlock Rashid and the Djinn factions can be obtained from Cursed Chests (as well as through the in-game store).
