    Treasure Maps

    Please make Treasure Maps more robust and remove the 18 hour lockout...

    I really enjoy this piece of content, but just like so much in this game, I can only do one a day because of lockouts. If they were more robust they could be a piece of content to do whenever I'm bored, which is often given that the game is made to entertain for a few hours a day and no more.

    Take most of the rewards off the current maps, instead you obtain a map piece from the chest. After combining several of these, you get a boss chest which has most of the current rewards. It should be possible to balance this such that it's effectively the same as the current maps; it takes 18 hours to get a boss chest map. XI did this fairly well with BCNMs, you could do them whenever you wanted, provided you had farmed the pop items. The only difference here would be gathering and hunting treasure chests is far more fun than farming seals...

    to be fair you can just buy maps and do them all day if you want.

    on behemoth right now peisteskin maps are cheaper than what a 4 man group generally gets in gil alone and anything else is just bonus

    the rewards on them need to be normalized a bit though, one day the thing can flood you with HQ crafting mats a philo item and a treasure chest only item and the next day you just get the gil, crystals and 1 feather. It seems a bit too random imo

    They're around 12,000G last I checked on Excalibur, so I guess with 8 people it's possibly, but I'm still only getting 1/8th of that Gil...

    For the most part I just want to enjoy the lower tier of maps, well... Boarskin maps... Those really shouldn't be limited to one every 18 hours, they're a great little addition to pass the time when few people are online.

    There is no lockouts how many you can do during a day. only how many you can find. You can always buy more in the market board to do more maps.

    Seeing that with a peisteskin map everyone can get 5k gil (not only the one who started the map), removing the lockout would not only kill the treasure map market, but also flood the game with gil.
    5k*8 = 40k gil generated in a full party with one map
    40k*8 = 320k gil generated in a full party if everyone have a map.

    I know it would flood the market with Gil... That's why I proposed moving the bulk of the reward onto a higher tier of maps... Literally the next sentence you decided not to quote, or apparently read...

    You could always do what my friend does when he finds one, he gives it to me to hold on to and decipher when I feel like. We are starting to accrue them and are planning a large treasure hunt adventure.

    Edit: Sorry for a new post to edit, but there is no "edit" button on tablets. Anyway, by "give to me" I meant a friend and not literally to me (unless you really want to).
