Dragon's Hoard: loot table, max 13 and how to raise it
Dragon’s Hoard is the Pyreborne resource. Cards and abilities add stacks during battles; outside combat you can loot it at any time for gold and artifacts, and a bigger hoard pays more. The cap is 8 stacks. Hidden Coffers raises it by 2 and Expanded Coffers by 3, for a maximum of 13. Hidden Coffers is itself a Minor Pyreborne Artifact, so you have to loot at least once before you can reach 13.
What a loot pays
| Hoard | Gold | Minor Pyreborne Artifact | Regular artifact | Boss artifact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | |||
| 2 | 25 | |||
| 3 | 25 | Random | ||
| 4 | 25 | One of three | ||
| 5 | 50 | One of three | ||
| 6 | 50 | One of three | Random | |
| 7 | 75 | One of three | Random | |
| 8 | 75 | One of three | One of three | |
| 9 | 75 | Random, plus one of three | One of three | |
| 10 | 75 | Two picks of three | One of three | |
| 11 | 100 | Two picks of three | One of three | |
| 12 | 100 | Two picks of three | Random | |
| 13 | 150 | Two picks of three | One of three |
At 12 and 13 the hoard gives a boss artifact: Pyreforged Flame, Pyreforged Solace or Pyreforged Light, at most one of each. That is the only way to hold more than the usual boss artifacts in a run. Both the Minor Pyreborne and the Pyreforged pools run out: a fourth 12–13 loot usually pays only the gold.
When to loot
- Loot at 8 for the first time to dig for Hidden Coffers among the Minor Pyreborne Artifacts.
- After both Coffers, wait for 12 or 13 to get the Pyreforged boss artifact.
- Hold the hoard instead of looting when your deck spends it in combat: Greed Dragon enters with +10/+10 per stack, Wealthy Whelp earns 5 gold per stack, Inequivalent Exchange deals 25 damage per stack (and removes one), and Pay Off heals the Pyre 2 per stack.
Cards that fill it
| Card | Hoard gained |

| Lord Fenix, Golden Crown path | 1 per Conjure (2 and 25 gold at tier III) |
| Alchemy | 2, Consume |
| Devilish Details | 3, Consume, and your Pyre takes 8 damage |
| Golden Touch | 1 on Slay |
| Gildmonger | 1 on Extinguish |
| Soulsmelter | 1 per 4 Soul on Celebrate |
| Prismatic Dragonscale (artifact) | 3 at the end of a battle in which your Pyre took no damage |
