Treasure Map Topic

Does anyone know for the 8-man, if everyone in the party gets the standard 1.6 or is does it get smaller per person? I've done it with a group of 3, each of us getting 1.6-1.7k. Can anyone confirm a similar gil being given to groups of 2 or 4+ people?

I also did a Boarskin Map (mined it in N.Thanalan)
Rewards were 100 fire shards, 1 peacock ore, 2 hq twinthread, 1.6k, 5 swan feathers, 1 more hq mat.

Greetings,

I just wanted to drop in and share a bit of information about Treasure Hunt, especially regarding hunts that involve multiple players.

We understand that there are a number of requests to make it possible to display the treasure map for your party members so they can help search for the treasure, so we are looking into whether it's possible to implement this feature.

You can do 8 man maps with 2 people and two chocobos.

I've gotten a variety of rewards thus far ranging from frosted glass lens, to 5k gil, 15 mythology, hq items like rose gold, 250 shards, 8 coke and so on.

Hey Camate, how about a timer allowing us to see when we can gather maps again?

I was excited about treasure hunts, because it looked to be a much more interesting way to earn tomestones and gil. I partied up with my friend, watched his back while he fished up the second-hardest map... and realized we had to do a questline. I then couldn't even see his map, the mobs were a joke, soloed by Titan, the reward was a single mythology tomestone (literally useless; it gets eaten by dungeon rewards at cap) and some trash, and we'd have to wait 18 hours to do it again.

What a gigantic waste of time, for both the developers and players. Garbage content. I'll try once more and attempt to duo the 8-man map, but I don't see anyone ever doing this after a week once the minipets flood the marketboard.

I don't really see who these rewards are geared toward. You'd think that the trash rewards might be useful for a newer or low level player, but then you realize you need a 40+ DoL and a 40+ DoW/M. Chances are if you have both of those, the gear coming from chests would be extremely outdated. The second-hardest map should have honestly been the easiest, and the difficulty/rewards scaled up from there. I can't even fathom how poor the rewards must be from the first few maps.

The 8-man maps provide some easy weekly gil generation if you do them w/ 8 people and have more gatherers get your maps throughout the week. The loot is split(items etc.), but the gil are individual to the char. So with 8 chars, each map can generate 14.2k to 40k (before selling mats) for your guild bank. That gets multiplied by the amount of maps that you have (1 gatherer can get 7-9 a week) and that really starts to add up after a while. 5 gatherers getting 8 maps a week, for 40 hunts (really easy to do) with 8 people, can give you 512k - 1.6mil. Sure that's not anywhere near the huge housing prices, but it's easy gil and only gets bigger the more people/gatherers you have.

Edit: Said earlier that the shards were individual, but it's only the gil.

This is wrong. Last night my map dropped 250 wind shards and they went to a random player. I didn't get anything.

Yeah, the part about the shards is wrong, but the gil is still given to the individual. My FC made about 250k in an hour from around 14 maps, with little to no effort and not even a full half a weeks work of maps (we probably have 8-9 lvl50 gatherers w/ some more on the way).

Yes a timer would be awesome since I plan to do treasure hunting every day from now on. Timer would be nice.

I thought you had to be at least a lvl 40 DoL to get maps, however I am a 27 fisher and caught a leather map while fishing for copperfish in the Agelyss River. Did I just get lucky or something?

I believe the maps are found based on location, not level.
