Dragonskin maps need better rewards

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.

This would be totally pointless. The maps contain actual gil in random amounts, which everyone gets. Having them drop Allagan pieces as well as flat gil is redundant and the same as having them just drop more gil, which they already can do.

Then what else is the coffer supposed to drop? Unless you need the crafting materials, everything inside will equate to gil rewards anyway, so you might as well give it an extra boost that gives a flat reward rather than a crafting material whose value can change over time.

I'm sorry, what? Most weeks, I do my weekly red scrip turn-ins almost entirely with mats obtained from maps, and maps generally give me HQ versions. That's hardly the same as an item that can only be sold to vendors for a fixed amount of gil.

What are you suggesting, that the treasure maps could check the marketboard and automatically sell the materials for you, so the mats are exactly the same as a gil reward? That's absurd.
