Timeworn maps

[Legend_]

Anyone else get screwed by Peiste map? My FC did a hunt together and after we defeated all enemies there was no loot roll. Just a little gil and a few items given to a few random people. I thought they always gave 2 loot to roll on?

Yeah I did my first and only Pieste hunt was only a few items. Can't remember what they were

No rollable loot on Peiste map is unusual, but it happens every now and then. On the plus side, you also get unusual times when you get 8x philo item, or the 5k/person + 15 myth so I think it works out well in the long run.

Our Company did 3 maps yesterday and 2 of them were 5k maps, a good haul for the time required.

I catch all my maps at lake tahtotl, all peisteskin. I've expanded to start getting them with BTN to work on the achievement, but it seems to take much longer because the map may not show up for a while, and when it does it may be the wrong grade. North Shards, Parata's Peace, and Lake Tohtotl should always and only spit out peisteskin.

My important question is, do you need high fishing to catch a peisteskin, or can anyone go do it?

thx gonna fish some maps when im back home (should be able to lvl my fisher from 40 to 45/50 in no time)

well.. im not sure, but i will assume that it follows the same rules for holes fishing, if peisteskin can only be obtained in those hole (as mention so far in guides) and u need to be at least 5 lvl close to fish, then i would assume you have to be level 45 at least to fish and get a peistenskin map (at least in parata's peace and lake tohtol that are level 50 holes as far as i remember)

You don't actually need to gather anything from those nodes at all - just run from one to another in circle until the desired map pops up - never takes more than 2 -3 minutes for me to get pieste As it's maxes at 95% gathering it's recommeded to up it to 100% using the gatherer's action just to be on the safe side.

I was vague, my apologies. The achievement referred to is the 4,000 choppy-chops at lv 5 nodes. That is a handy piece of information all the same, ty.

No rollable loot on Peisteskin is pretty common. I've done like 20+ maps at this point. Best haul I've gotten is 8 Hardened Saps (philo stone item); most of the time the items are worth less than 5k. The aetherial armor that is in the chest occasionally can SB into T4 materia which is kind of nice. Generally I think it's a waste though. I go with two friends and 3 man them sometimes for fun.

Hm, maybe our group is lucky. But we've done 3 maps/day for the last week or so, and I think the day before yesterday was the first time we got no rollable loot.

Its value really depends on what you're after I guess. Our Company is looking to fund housing, so (1.7k x 8) x 3 = 40k gil/daily, + ((2k x 4) x 3) = 24k materials/daily = 64k net asset gain/day. In the last week we've gotten 8 philo items ( 8 x 3.5k = 28k) and 3 rare maps (5k x 8 x 3 = 120k). For a total of:

64k x 7 = 448k - 3 rare map adjustment (448k - 40k + 120k) + philo adjustment (+28k ) = 556k/week, or 185k/map/week for roughly 20mins/day/gatherer of 'work'. (15mins getting map, 5mins hunting.) But you can sell the materials you get from gathering for the map so its not as bad even then. Personally, after running the numbers I find treasure hunting to be an amazing wealth generator. Any rollable loot is just additional, unexpected income.

To clarify the level requirements:

On any gathering class level 36+, you can access nodes level 40.
On any gathering class level 41+, you can access nodes level 45.
On any gathering class level 46+, you can access nodes level 50.

I was confused because at Moondrip (Western Thanalan) I leveled 27 to 35 and got Leather and Goatskin maps.
But then I checked and it is a lvl 45 spot so you can access maps before lvl 36 (for fishers)

I moved to dune fishing at southern thanalan and couldn't find maps, and after a check the spots are lvl 35
