Dragonskin maps need better rewards

[Nyalia]

I'm more surprised these chests don't contain stuff like Allagan Gold pieces or the like, considering that treasure maps sole purpose is to make money.

This would be totally pointless. The maps contain actual gil in random amounts, which everyone gets. Having them drop Allagan pieces as well as flat gil is redundant and the same as having them just drop more gil, which they already can do.

that's the point, it shouldn't be.

if there are more recipes that use Buttons, Rush Grass and Blue Fox Hide, the rewards would automatically become better.

Adding more glamour stuff to the already exhausting glamour fluff will not automatically make them better. Why not for example, add item level 183 gear or item level 193 gear. That would be useful.

But no we can't have that, cause people will complain and whine that no one is doing no other content other than maps for gear. The prices of the maps would be over the roof. RMT... Yeah forget this idea.

Also remember, just like PvE content becomes obsolete with every mayor patch because of this vertical progression, so does glamour fluff. What's today's glamour fad becomes tomorrow's moth-eaten drab.

The peiesteskin maps gave far superior rewards at their prime time.

The crafting materials that you mentioned are only good glamour stuff.

Then what else is the coffer supposed to drop? Unless you need the crafting materials, everything inside will equate to gil rewards anyway, so you might as well give it an extra boost that gives a flat reward rather than a crafting material whose value can change over time.

with a bonus chimera surprise.
so far the dragonskin has no boss map.
maybe they'll add those along with new rewards

The turtle was also a beast. Dragonskin maps are much tamer.

I'm sorry, what? Most weeks, I do my weekly red scrip turn-ins almost entirely with mats obtained from maps, and maps generally give me HQ versions. That's hardly the same as an item that can only be sold to vendors for a fixed amount of gil.

What are you suggesting, that the treasure maps could check the marketboard and automatically sell the materials for you, so the mats are exactly the same as a gil reward? That's absurd.
