Riding Maps removed! Mount Speed Increase Upgrade 2???

So from this conversation I can assume two things.
1. It is possible that since I have really taken my time and have upgraded in a weird way, that the maps somehow were shown to me early on. Perhaps a patch update that met certain conditions to allow the maps to be visible to me due to order of operations or some kind of logic that was not intentional. Remember, I upgraded to HW when it came out, but never completed the MSQ. This may be the reason I was able to see them. I patched and patched since then too. So, who knows?
2. The upgrade to Stormblood somehow reset this and now I have to complete the Ultimate Weapon quest to re-unlock it. This is an assumption of course. I have no way of knowing for sure.

I am like 3 quests away. I am not the only person that this has happened to. I have spoken to at least two other people with the same issue. Another person on this thread has encountered it as well. So I am not alone.
I will attempt to complete those quests tonight. If successful, then I'll check the Hunt Bill Master at the Grand Company and see if the maps are back.
I will report back to you all when I find out.
Again, my apologies to the forum for my lack of decorum early on. I just hate having to repeat myself over and over again when most of the information was already stated. I am sorry.
More to follow -

A quit bit of info. The way you get around the 1000 char posting limit is to save a small update then edit your post to complete your text. There is no character limit in edit mode. Stupid I know but .....

I only have one item under the "Other" section. The maps are all gone.
I went crazy looking for information as to their whereabouts. But alas, I found nothing! That is when I came here. The maps were no longer available to me.

From this alone, we already can conclude he pick wrong option when talk to Hunt Billmaster....

The riding mount speed is under Allied Seals (Other) > Others TAB

No, I'm quite sure OP is going there already, his theory is very possible, being able to see the upgrades ahead of time could have been unintended, we'd have to wait and see if finishing the ultimate weapon will unlock them. I think you'd also need to do this quest OP https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Let_the_Hunt_Begin it will appear when you reach 2nd lieutenant in your GC

I understand how frustrating this might be, but I still don’t get it why OP so vehemently doesn’t post a screenshot. It might be easier to spot what’s wrong

This seems to be the correct answer, the only allied seals list which has only 1 item under 'Other' is 'Allied Seals (GC name here)', with the maps being listed under 'Allied Seals (Other)' option

It does appear that the map issue is quest based. I just got an alt to 50 and went and checked the Maelstrom Billmaster. The alt did the quest to open the hunts but is on Rock the Castrum on the MSQ. The maps are not present for him though they are for all my characters that are past the Praetorium part of the MSQ.

The picture shows the tab scrolled to the bottom. So it does appear that the maps are locked out if you are not to the correct part of the MSQ. I do not have a character currently in HW but not finished with the initial MSQ for heavensward to see if the same applies to the Centurio Seal maps. My guess is that those may also have MSQ pre-reqs. As to why the op could initially see it and now can't I would attribute to one of the patches fixing the bug that let him see them before he hit the MSQ requirement for ARR.

You are quite welcome. But seriously, playing this game for 4+ years (he didn't state if he been taking long periods of breaks) and still havn't beaten 2.0 again base game before any patches.

Even a casual player get through that in maybe couple weeks or a month.

He focuses on crafting (though, still, if he was not capped on them when Stormblood hit...I guess not 'enough'). Maybe he have multiple alts too. Who cares?! How long he plays is irrelevant to the issue.
