[Suggestion] Make Timeworn Maps Un-Unique please?!

With the introduce of the treasure hunting dungeons in 3.3 I think many will want to save up maps for when it releases, however, the maps are unique which make this hard.

Can we please have those timeworn maps no longer be Unique? Why were they made Unique in the first place anyway :confused: ??? I don't see anything game-breaking could happen if we make them stackable now, since you still can only have one every 18 hours.

They limit their acquisition to I guess stop overzealous lvl60 Miners like me from hoarding them all and maybe help stabilize the Market Board. And padding to make you wait a day to acquire just 1.

If you have a mailbox they're not nearly as unique, my girlfriend and I have around 20 maps between us

If people want to hoard it they have several work-around already. Hence, remove the Unique-ness will only help reduce the trouble we have to go through to keep them. I didn't ask for removing the 18-hours cooldown though. If you think more about it, there would be nothing change about this, other than we don't have to run back to retainers to get another map everytime we want to do them.

Last thing they want to do is make a limited quantity item more hoardable right before they gain a new use. What you want to do with them is actually something they want to prevent.

It force gatherers to sell them, so those who have already gathered their 18h map or those without a leveled gatherers can buy them.

Lol.. No.

It's a difference if someone can hold small two-digit numbers or if he can hold x times 99 stacks.
It's also a difference if you can just click-click-click *yay, pushed prices up to 200k* or if you can't buy more than once in x minutes (sending letters, going to retainer, log on alt).

They should get rid of those work-arounds instead.


Maps get continously new purposes/stuff and ppl shouldn't have the option to hord them in a meaningful way to prepare for such a thing.


Same for those primal-drops needed for the minions... Ppl figured out they will need them for crafting and bought as much as they could. But because they're unique they were at least contributed on many ppl and not on the single gillionaire who came up first with that idea.

If you let people hoard them:
1. Not everyone has the same access, as a lot of people will buy them all up
2. It allows those who hoard them to have more chances at entering the dungeon, thus letting them clear it faster potentially, leading often to whiners about 'there is no content QQ'

Add them to your mailbox. And make sure you store 1 for each retainer.

They need to stay unique. Those maps is a good amount of daily income for me.

I don't think they want people saving up large amounts of maps.

lol, you just want to buy them all out. I did the same thing. XD

I have been hoarding my maps since they first announced the treasure hunting dungeons. Them being unique won't stop you if you think outside the box.

The only problem is that the 1% on each server would buy every single map up for sale & monopolise things like the new dungeon or Unidentifiable drops.

Yes, there are minor workarounds by having one on each retainer & using the mailbox but that's nothing like having 8 retainers with 175 stacks of 99 maps on each.

I think you all are thinking too much under the illusion created by SE making it Unique in first place. Maps are IMO not different from any other items on MB. Some can monopolize it? Sure but till what point? And why it would be a problem with maps but not other items already on MB like Zu mount, red script mats, minions etc., ie. high value items that normally gated by time/rng? Why would people buy a stack of maps for an average price 100k each while the items they can get from each maps only worth 20k? And please don't add treasure dungeon here yet, it is still new content. And when it release, the price of maps will spike anyway, until people can evaluate the "worth" of the treasure dungeon. In the end the value will still balance out.

Unable to stack maps surely helps stop people buying all the maps available from MB, but the more realistic reason IMO, is that they stop buying maps from MB when the price starts going higher than what they deemed those maps worth.

The uniqueness is only a delusion, and adds nothing else but inconvenience.

That is the exact reason they won't change it before 3.3.

Thank you for this tip. I will give it a try.

Or each map level can have its own cooldown. It makes no sense why I can't grab a HW map and the ARR maps in the same day. Treasure Dungeon just makes all the older ARR maps viable again but still extremely limited since we can't have access to the two maps.
