Pirate Chest

Pirate Chests
Alongside the dock a Pirate's Chest will appear every now and then. This Chest will contain some money or a piastre. The amount of money you get depends on the XP level you are at. To open the Chest, tap on it multiple times. Zoom in as close as you can to reduce the number of taps significantly.

Below are players experiences with the Pirate's Chest.

Pirate Chests booty per Level
The Pirate chest rewards increase every level. You also have a chance of receiving one Piastre. It seems that the piastres appears once or twice a day,just plain randomly,or if you pick the chest up three times in a row - the occurrence has not yet been determined.

You could get piastres at any level, probably if the chest remains longer in the water it may give a piastre (not sure) but you can get piastres at lower levels (do not stick with the listing below)

Pirate chest appearances
The Pirate Chest reappears 5 hours after it was emptied or sinks. You have 2 hours to pick it up before it sinks. ie. If you miss your chance to pick up the chest in 2 hours, it will reappear in another 5 hours. So if the last chest you picked up was at 10:30pm, the next chest would be at 3:30am. If you like to sleep, and do not wake up before 5:30am the next morning, you will have to wait until 10:30am to get the next one. Then if you pick it up at say 12:20pm, it will reappear at 5:20pm and remain until 7:20pm. This was painstakingly confirmed by multiple players watching and timing the chest appear and then heart-breakingly watching it sink uncollected.
