Treasures/LINE

Treasures are special items in Cookie Run that can be equipped for additional power, unique abilities, or bonuses.

Earning Treasures
Treasures can be earned from various ways.

Upgrading Cookies and Pets
Players will earn a free treasure after upgrading any Cookie or Pet to Level 8. Each treasure has a same grade with the cookie or pet that carries the treasure. Usually those treasure will have an effect similar to the cookie or pet's power, or a different power purposed to help the cookie or pet gains better result.

However, those treasures cannot be earned more than one. Once the treasure was sold, the treasure can be repurchased with Crystal by visiting the cookie or pet's information window.

Buying from Treasure Merchant
Treasures can also be obtained from the Treasure Merchant. Treasure Merchant offers three options for purchase:

In contrast to the treasures you earn through upgrading cookies or pets, you can get treasure multiple times from the chests.

Others
Other ways to obtain treasures are including:
 * Earning from limited time events
 * Reaching Level 50 (earning Lv.50 Golden Club Trophy)

Treasure Slots
Players can equip at maximum 3 treasures at a time. The first slot is always given for free since the beginning of time, however the second and third slot must be unlocked before it can be used. There are two ways to unlock them, either with reaching the specific goal or purchasing with Crystal. When the user decided to use Crystal, the user will earn two free tickets for opening Supreme Treasure Chest.

Upgrading Treasures
Treasures can be upgraded with going to the Treasure menu, and tapping "Upgrade Treasure" button at the right bottom of the Treasure window.

Types of Upgrades
There are two types of upgrades:
 * The first type is a common upgrade. The common upgrade uses coins to upgrade, however the upgrade may fail. When the upgrade fails, the player will receive Gift Points as a consolation prize, meanwhile the coins spent on upgrading treasures will gone. However, no gift points awarded for successful upgrade.


 * The second type is a special upgrade. This special upgrade uses Crystal, but there are a guarantee that the upgrade will be successful. There are no gift points awarded for this type of Crystal use.

Success Chance of Common Upgrade
While most players did not having a significant problem with common upgrades for C, B, and A grade treasures, there are significant problems for upgrading S-grade treasures with common upgrade. Many players have been questioning about the success chance, especially in upper levels. A YouTube video posted an experiment to upgrade treasure entirely with coins from level 0 to +9, and shown that the video uploader needs nearly 1,000,000 coins to complete upgrade without any Crystal.

Due to high chances of failure, many players are choosing either to maximize coin earnings with coin farming or rather purchasing with Crystals.

List of Upgrade Costs
The upgrade costs for all treasures are heavily depending on the treasure's grade.

The only exception is Gold Drop's Pure Gold Bar that uses a different upgrade cost.
