Treasure maps ?

I couldnt find anything about what I am about to ask, I have Fisher and BTN but it seems that I cant get Party Treasure Maps as BTN at all, all I get are Boarskins and Toadskins which are single player. Anyone else have this issue ? if not can you tell me where you are getting your maps from, because my MIN friend has the same problem all he gets are lvl 50 Toad and Boarskin maps.

I dont have problem with FSH as I can get the Piestskin maps as FSH but not as BTN just want to know that was intended or am I doing something wrong ?

for the peisteskin you have to mine/log in any lvl 50 node. Inferior maps can still pop, just ignore them until you find a peisteskin.

Make sure you are at lvl 50 nodes. Also, if the boarskin/toadskin shows up, skip it and keep going until you get piesteskin. It might take a bit longer but one will eventually show up.

you can get the peiste from any 50 nodes on miner and botanist that are not the timed nodes. just dont go for the single player ones when you see it, eventually one will turn up.

--edit. wow 3 posts same time basically saying the same, must be true lol

Yeah, gotta skip the solo ones and wait for the group action.

Also, make sure your reset has happened to not waste your time looking for something you cannot find.

As a BTN I find Peisteskin maps pretty easily from the level 50 mature trees in the southern part of Raincatcher Gully (south of Wineport where all the Goobbues roam).

Also some days, it can take 5 secs to get one. Other days it can take near 15-20 mins before seeing one.

My other character is a 50 fisher, and although catching items is still random since theres no option to choose what to gather, I eventually get a peisteskin map every time. Have yet to get any other map at the level 50 spot I go to.

I feel like i'm always passing up the group maps to get a boarskin one. Cause you know, Wind-Up Tonberry minion or GTFO!

I have a question on the maps actually (so i dont make a new thread).

Can you hold onto more then one of the same map? Someone said you can't. Like I was gonna hold onto 2-3 days worth of 8 man maps and get a FC group together for them.

Sorry for the sillly question but i just got the dig and decipher the other day.
How does one actually find maps?
Do i have to be a higher level dol?
Currently my highest is miner lvl12

Maps are unique, so you can only hold one at a time. But you can place them on retainers, and mail them to friends to make room for gathering more. Then when you teleport to the camps, people can talk to the mail moogle to grab them.

Any DOL 40 or higher can get a map. On MNR or BTN the type of map will be shown before you gather it.

All you need to do is go to where level 40 or higher nodes are and gather until you a map appears on the list of gathering items.

And yes, you need to be able to gather from at least level 40 nodes for the lowest level map.

Not directly. If you try to gather a specific type that you already have, as in say you already have a Boarskin and try to gather another, you will get a message saying you cannot gather that one. You can have one of each type on you. You can also only have 1 deciphered at a time.

You can, however, put them on retainers or mail to friends to get around this limit. I will sometimes put them at auction for an insane price just to get it out of my inventory because my retainers are full. If it sells, I make a ridiculous amount of gil. If not, it's there when I need it.

has anybody soloed a pestiskin map I came close to doing it at the kobold camp but loss due to pets turning to stone from mob. I was smn by the way with pet & companion out.

I get my BTN Pieste maps from right outside Forgotten Springs. 3 Times in a row it was up on first node (I was full at the time)

So when I finally got a group to do them and come back to refill It doesn't show up in time that I wanted it to so I settled for the solo ones

Thanks for the information.. can we restrict these things anymore =/ Oh well... we have a ton of gatherers picking these up so i'll pass the word around to the ones who dont know. granted im gathering both types of 50 maps because my hubby wants the tonberry.

also is the 18 hour cooldown on finding a map true? >_>

yes the cool down is true.

That's because the level 50 maps from fishing are location specific.

From the patch notes:

Quote:

Timeworn Toadskin Map: Level 50 mature trees, lush vegetation patches, mineral deposits, rocky outcrops, and fishing holes (South Umbral Isles and Rathefrost only)


Timeworn Boarskin Map: Level 50 mature trees, lush vegetation patches, mineral deposits, rocky outcrops, and fishing holes (Reaver Hide and the Tangle only)


Timeworn Peisteskin Map: Level 50 mature trees, lush vegetation patches, mineral deposits, rocky outcrops, and fishing holes (Lake Tahtotl, Parata's Peace, and the North Shards only).

ok i thought it was i was just making sure (otherwise im sure we'd see a million more bluebirds haha).

The easiest location to get to for maps on Botanist is just outside of Limsa. Go out the Zephyr Gate to Middle La Noscea, and there's a level 50 logging area a short trip NW just past the first bridge.
If you've only got Miner, there are level 50 quarrying nodes just north of Swiftperch (east of Aleport) in Western La Noscea. In fact, I just got a Peisteskin map confirming the location. :D

Thanks for the info Naberrie, much appreciated

Also, if you're in Gridania, take the ferry to East Shroud and head straight to the Bramble Patch. It's quick to get there. The level 50 BTN nodes there give Piestskin, Boarskin and Toadskin maps.

I wish I leveled my Miner more now...this sucks!

Yeah, I get that a lot now. I took MNR and BTN to 50. Worked on it a lot. A lot of people thought I was crazy at the time, but most are jealous now, and they're always asking if I've got a map they can join in on.

Out of curiousity, what are the rewards from treasure hunting? Really need to get my miner/botanist boing again. Sigh....so much to do in the game.

Always gil, around 1500-ish, shards, tomes, and random loot. Usually mats, sometimes HQ ones that sell well on the market. For tomes I've received anywhere from 3 to 30.

Yeah. I'm so glad I grinded BTN to 50 before the patch. I've made a good chunk of money from treasure hunts.

I should have stated that it is a happy sigh, not a weary sigh, lol. Have my adventuring, crafting, fishing. So much to do still. And lovin' it.

Thanks for the info on rewards. Need to get cracking and gather me some of these maps!

Yes, you can have as many maps as you have inventory space. The restriction that others have mentioned incorrectly only applies to maps that have been deciphered - once the Timeworn Peisteskin Map gets taken out of your general inventory and moved into the Quest Item tab. I've never had more than two on me at the same time because I clear them out regularly with my FC, but it is fun to track down 7+ maps in a row. Most of us have at least one gathering class at 50.

If you actually read what those people said, no you cannot. The maps themselves are unique. Means you can only have one of each on your character, 1 of each per retainer(this includes their shop slots). But you CAN mail them to someone, so if you have a friend/family/alt account, you can do that. You CANNOT store them in a FC chest.
