Treasure Isle Backpack Expansion: More space for more shinies

Treasure Isle Backpack Expansion
With the amount of junk treasure players collect in Treasure Isle, inventory management was becoming a game in itself within Zynga's relic recovery Facebook game, so the developer has finally expanded backpack space up to 100 more slots. By either paying up in Island Cash or adding more friends, you can travel even longer without having to return home to stow away your discoveries.

Just go to the Store and within the "Tools" tab you'll find the new Backpack section. There you'll be greeted by potential increases in backpack storage to the order of:

    5 extra slots for 5 Treasure Isle Cash
    25 extra slots for 20 Treasure Isle Cash
    100 extra slots for 50 Treasure Isle Cash
    1 new Neighbor for 5 extra slots
    3 new Neighbors for 25 extra slots
    5 new Neighbors for 100 extra slots



Obviously, this is a welcome change for Treasure Isle newbies and veterans alike. And when just five new Neighbors can get you another 100 spaces worth of room for your reclaimed artifacts, who would pay up for this? Unless you're just antisocial, which wouldn't make much sense considering you're playing a social game. Get out there and mingle, will ya?

Treasure Isle Hot Spring heats up Home Island with an Energy bonus

Log into Treasure Isle today and you'll find more than just increased backpack space. You'll be greeted by a pop-up asking whether you'd like to begin building your Hot Spring relic. Should you accept this simple task (trust us), just place it on any open space in your Home Island and click on the hole in the ground to start building. And if games by Zynga have taught us anything, the word "build" is synonymous with berating your friends for seemingly random items that when brought together will magically create a cool item. This time around you'll be asking for a total of ten of each of these items in its four phases:


    Rock
    Aqua Vitae
    Fire
    Glue
    Marble


Each phase after the first will require one more of each item with the final phase calling for four of each material, resulting in the final cost of 10 per item. Well, that's the first Hot Spring I've ever seen held together by a couple of pebbles, some magical water and glue. Anyway, finish each of the relics' four phases to finish your Hot Spring and be rewarded +3 maximum Energy points permanently. You can also buy these items for Island Cash, but isn't this just too easy?
