instead of carrying just 1 can we stack them up to 99 thank you
I don't think they'd let that happen unless they allowed all maps to stack. Which, to be honest, really should be a thing anyway.
Non-stackable maps are made on purpose:
- to avoid huge raids running around and making 2000 map missions in on run. After all, the treasure places are limited and we would step on our brother's foots.
- to keep the game various and force people to do different things all the time. Being able to "execute" 100 maps on one evening would result in the map game play being boring.
And how exactly would that be bad? There's no stepping on people's feet; you can't target their stuff and they can't target yours. It'd even benefit things since you might end up with some cures or a raise you wouldn't have gotten otherwise.
but nothing would be forcing people to do that. Just like grinding garuda hm for lights for 8 hours straight is boring, but some people do it. It's their choice. It should be their choice.Quote:

I support this. As far as Alexandrite maps go, there really isn't a good reason not to allow us to stack them. At the very least they could let us stack them up to, say, 5 or 10. Doesn't have to be 1 or 99 all the time, does it?
you can just wait till someone in the area is done with theri map to start yours i have done that what is wrong. since we need space i think stacking all maps should be allowed i readlly doubt someone would do 100 maps in a day like come one
Also can we get a map sharing function? Like what if a member of ur party has a map but doesn't know how to find one. It happened a few times and it took them like almost 2 days to find it.
Wanted to help them but couldn't due to not being able to see the map.
Last time i remembered, allowing other ppl in ur group look at the map wouldn't break immersion.
Unhidden maps are already stackable. Wish they would do the same for the others tbh.
the alex maps are unique to you, no reason they shouldn't be stackable really.
as for the other maps I say stack them,
and as it stands you can do every map on the mb in one day if your willing to buy them. the allowances are on digging up a map from a node or fishing spot not on doing maps. you just have to run back to mb after doing two maps as it stands right now.
yes thank you guys for agreeing with me. this way i can do them whenever instead of being forced to do them because i cant carry anymore
Bump please allow us to stack Alex maps just alex maps
As I am currently running Alexandrite, it would be nice to be able to farm up 1600 sol, get 4 maps and run them all. But as it stands, in order to even GET the msps you need to run one dungeon for at least 20 minutes OR several dungeons / hunts ect in order to purchase, I believe the point is in doing them in the cycle. Plus you can only have one map deciphered at once. Considering that the itemvyou get is highly stackable, what is the point in stacking the maps? Really even if you capped sol first 6 maps is all you could have and then if they weren't unique you could at least zerg a few but there's no need for stacking the maps because you stack the rewards...
Alex maps should be stackable. You are limited in terms of how many you can acquire, and the Alex themselves stack, as someone pointed out.
As for the other treasure maps ... sure, make them stack. The only change that will make is allow people to save them up to run them. It may increase the rate at which they enter the game (right now, I doubt everyone is gathering a map daily, whether to use or to sell) but the overall effect would be to decrease their availability on the marketboard and increase their price there. That's it. And it may not even do that! Sure, people will be able to form a party and run more than 16 maps ... but how many people are actually forming 8 person Full Parties and running 16 maps right now, anyway?
Making the maps stack would be a QoL thing more than anything else.
Bump plz plz
I hope they just replace alex map by alex directly ^^;
To be honest, stacking itself isn't even needed. What IS needed is the ability to hold more than one at a time. There's no logical reason whatsoever that an untradable item that only you can use should be a unique item in this way. The other maps, fair enough, as they can be traded.
The most valuable maps in the game, unhidden maps, can stack and aren't unique to prevent them being lost if they drop. Well mysterious maps should behave exactly the same way, especially as we can easily get several a day from the quest and due to the soldiery drop rate.
Can't edit as on phone but what I meant was that you can get several a day if you do both the quest (daily map) and buy them using the soldiery that drops like cherry blossom nowadays.
Yes, you can. So what? You're the only one who can use the Alex maps you get, however many you get in a day.
Allowing them to stack, seeing as how the Alex themselves stack, is a no brainer. Removing the Unique flag from them would be a great first step, though, if there's an issue between the deciphering and the presence of a stack.
why not just do the maps as you get them? Solves the problem. You're gonna have to teleport from zone to zone anyways so it doesn't hurt to have to stop back into Mor'Dhona to grab more after you complete your 2nd map.
Because inconvenient.
Let say, scenario, alexandrite couldnt be stacked.
why not just meld the alexandrite as you get them? Solves the problem. You're gonna have to meld them one by one anyways so it doesn't hurt to have to stop back to market board to grab more materia after you melded your alexandrite.
Because not everyone is willing to lose the alex due to getting a map that can't be solo'd. As a SCH/WHM I can't kill the Fox Fires that spawn along with the Mythril Golem in enough time before they rush and explode. Even with a Chocobo and fairy out.
I have to wait for a friend or two to be free to come along and help. They're not always available, hence a need to hold more than one at a time.
There can't be an issue between stacking and deciphering as you can happily carry a stack of unhidden maps, decipher them, and still play. Once a map is deciphered it becomes a key item and the original map bottle is destroyed. That's why you can have a deciphered and bottled unique map at the same time.
As WHM, two Holy casts will take care of the fires if you have at least soldiery gear. I've got 30 Alexandrites from maps and my WHM have no problem soloing all of them with iLv 110 gear. Some take longer because I keep having to duck their AOE attacks but none of them posed any danger of failing. This is unsubstantiated opinion, but I think WHM is thte easiest job for soloing maps.
Back on topic, I'd love having at least the Alex maps stack as well. It's not like the maps were supposed to be done by full parties or even light parties. So what if a player decides to stack 75 maps and do them in one day? It's not like we can just buy them for 200gil.
