Dragonskin maps need better rewards

[Stormfur]

I did a bunch of these yesterday and got stuff like Rush Grass and Exquisite Buttons which are pretty much worthless from a crafting standpoint. What's more ,a lot of the times the rewards were heavily skewed toward one person (i.e. one person would get all the loot).

I'd like to suggest that these be a bit more fair in allotting people a good mixture of rare mats, and the opportunity (however slight) to drop something like a minion. Increasing the drop rate of Thav stuff couldn't hurt either...

The rates are fine as it is considering you get one map per day. Infact they even increased the drop amount of the thavarian items a long while back.

It's all glamour stuff and random crafting materials that you can get from gathering anyways. What did you expect to get?

Agreed. One day, I helped a few of my friends do like twelve maps. There were four of us in the party. I got item drops literally two times out of those twelve maps, and the other ten maps all I got was gil, while they were awarded the item drops.

They do have a slight chance to drop a minion - the Bluebird. I've obtained one this way, and a friend of mine got one this way too. The drop rates are fine, and they give tons of useful endgame mats like Adamantite Nuggets/Rivets. They're also a good source of Blue Fox Hide for the Highland barding. The Thav drop rate is pretty good from what I've seen. A little sporadic, but it didn't take long for me and all my friends who do maps regularly to get one of every thav item. The allotments even out if everyone supplies the same number of maps. I generally do them in batches of ~15 (5 people with 3 maps each, or 4 people with 4 maps each).

I don't see the problem with these maps.

Thav silk drop rates are not good, they're ridiculous. I've done over 60 maps and gotten silk one single time.

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.

I have received about 16 silks, others in my group have gotten them too of course. So I suppose it depends on your Luck. ^^;

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.

My friends and I get Thavnairian silk and leather quite often, I got 9 silks in about 10 maps before. Yesterday I did 3 maps and got 1 leather and 2 silks.
