Treasure maps ?

[Rosekitten]

I have a question on the maps actually (so i dont make a new thread).

Can you hold onto more then one of the same map? Someone said you can't. Like I was gonna hold onto 2-3 days worth of 8 man maps and get a FC group together for them.

Do i have to be a higher level dol?

Any DOL 40 or higher can get a map. On MNR or BTN the type of map will be shown before you gather it.

All you need to do is go to where level 40 or higher nodes are and gather until you a map appears on the list of gathering items.

And yes, you need to be able to gather from at least level 40 nodes for the lowest level map.

Not directly. If you try to gather a specific type that you already have, as in say you already have a Boarskin and try to gather another, you will get a message saying you cannot gather that one. You can have one of each type on you. You can also only have 1 deciphered at a time.

You can, however, put them on retainers or mail to friends to get around this limit. I will sometimes put them at auction for an insane price just to get it out of my inventory because my retainers are full. If it sells, I make a ridiculous amount of gil. If not, it's there when I need it.

Yes, you can have as many maps as you have inventory space. The restriction that others have mentioned incorrectly only applies to maps that have been deciphered - once the Timeworn Peisteskin Map gets taken out of your general inventory and moved into the Quest Item tab. I've never had more than two on me at the same time because I clear them out regularly with my FC, but it is fun to track down 7+ maps in a row. Most of us have at least one gathering class at 50.

If you actually read what those people said, no you cannot. The maps themselves are unique. Means you can only have one of each on your character, 1 of each per retainer(this includes their shop slots). But you CAN mail them to someone, so if you have a friend/family/alt account, you can do that. You CANNOT store them in a FC chest.

Maps are unique, so you can only hold one at a time. But you can place them on retainers, and mail them to friends to make room for gathering more. Then when you teleport to the camps, people can talk to the mail moogle to grab them.

has anybody soloed a pestiskin map I came close to doing it at the kobold camp but loss due to pets turning to stone from mob. I was smn by the way with pet & companion out.

I get my BTN Pieste maps from right outside Forgotten Springs. 3 Times in a row it was up on first node (I was full at the time)

So when I finally got a group to do them and come back to refill It doesn't show up in time that I wanted it to so I settled for the solo ones

Thanks for the information.. can we restrict these things anymore =/ Oh well... we have a ton of gatherers picking these up so i'll pass the word around to the ones who dont know. granted im gathering both types of 50 maps because my hubby wants the tonberry.

also is the 18 hour cooldown on finding a map true? >_>

[Strifin]

yes the cool down is true.
