So, why in gods name are all maps now on the same cooldown? Especially old maps. This an issue that should be addressed as soon as possible. imo

huh? you mean the gathered ones? long as i can remember the cooldown was always 18 hours. its also probably setup this way so they can't be farmed in droves and flooded on the mb.

It wasn't always like that though. I can understand the new portal maps being on a cooldown but not every single map. The none portal maps shouldn't be on the same cooldown timer.

Does he mean the maps you buy for your ARR relic weapons? I'm pretty sure all the treasure maps gathered has been on a CD for as long as I can remember.

Loot would have to be greatly reduced so people wouldn't be able to get stuff too easily from them, even though they give older/less valuable items items.
It's why there's an achievement for EVERY map to be done X amount of times for achievements.
This feels like a 'why should I have to waste my cooldown timer to get worthless maps' type suggestion. You can buy them from others, or even gather them on alt characters and then just get a friend/fc mate to hold the map for you and trade it to your main character to do them. -

Sorry about the typo, supposed to say non not none. And it wasn't that long ago that you farm multiple maps a day to include Khumbria skin maps.

how many times have you done treasure hunts again?
and technically, you CAN farm multiple maps a day. Twice to be exact.
wait wait, let me get something clear first.
Are you talking about gathering maps from gathering nodes, or running map hunts?
the first has the 1 map every 18 hours limit. And I'm pretty sure it's always been like this.
the second, has no limit. Unless there's a limit like 100 dungeon runs max a day no one ever found. -

Farming maps in order to do map runs. And no there wasn't always an 18 hour cooldown. There was a time when you could farm a map, decipher it and farm another one, put it in saddlebag and farm another for inventory. The cooldown started during the Ophio skin maps launch

04-13-2023, 08:40 PMStouterTaruNope, it's always been 18 hour CD for gathering maps. You could always possess multiple (1 of each type in inventory + saddlebag + each retainer, one map deciphered, and 20 in your moogle mail)Quote:

I do think there should be a little leeway though. Maybe only the most recent (two) type(s) of map should be on one 18 hour cooldown, with all other maps pooled into another separate 18 hour cooldown. That way you can't flood the market with the most recent map(s), but can still farm them routinely, while still being able to grab and older map in the meantime for something to do in the downtime. -

2.1 Patch Notes
There has never been a time where you could gather maps back to back. If there was, you must have crossed over to another reality.Quote:
Treasure Hunt has been added.
In the course of gathering, Disciples of the Land will now be able to obtain items known as timeworn maps. These maps can then be used to reveal the location of hidden treasures.
* Upon obtaining a timeworn map, players will be unable to find another for 18 hours (Earth time).

My guess is op is thinking of either the alexandrite map farming (arr relic) or one of the moogle tomes event maps.
Because as others said, 18 hour cd has always been there. -
04-13-2023, 09:32 PMIscahEither of those, or maybe buying normal ones from the marketboard. Or just making way to gather a new one when yesterday's is in your inventory.Quote:

It may not be possible since we usually get both types from the same nodes.
