All days except the last day, only open red/Splendid chests and use all three free refreshes to find more of them.
On the last day, continue opening only red/Splendid chests and use Gems to refresh.
Saving your Gems for red chests works because they give far more Thorns on average, resulting in more Thorns per dollar.
These are average results, not guaranteed amounts. You could get more or less depending on your luck, especially if you only open a few chests. The more chests you open, the closer your results should be to the expected amount.
Red/Splendid chests cost 60 Gems, appear 8.5% of the time, and average 13.4 Thorns.
Expected Thorns include the event's chest-opening milestone rewards. Gem totals include 240 free Gems from Treasure Hunt Drill but do not include Treasure Hunt Tomes. Pack prices are rounded to the nearest dollar.
