what an utter waste of a 6 page post.... this guy just doesnt get it.

what an utter waste of a 6 page post.... this guy just doesnt get it.
If I want to take 5 years to go through the MSQ, then I will take 5 years to go through the MSQ without thinking twice about your opinions.
This thread isn't about any of that.
I simply want to get to the bottom of this issue for me and anyone else having the problem.
Here are the screenshots that show nothing.
I was wrong about the menu only having one option earlier, that was my mistake. But rest assured, they are all gone.
I am still moving forward through the MSQ.
I am really sorry that I ever came here for help in the first place. I thought I was being thorough and saving everyone some time; however, all I have done is upset people. When this issue is resolved I'll quietly take my leave.
I'll report back when I get through the rest of the game. Thanks again to the supporters.
Completing "The Ultimate Weapon" has brought the riding maps back. So there is something going on where if you upgrade the way I did, you should have access to those maps until you upgrade to Stormblood.
Anyone having the same issue will have to complete the 7th Umbral Era Quests to get the maps back.
I would imagine the person who wasn't able to see them in HW would either have to upgrade to SB or complete the HW MSQ as well. I can't say for sure.
I can't stress the importance of actually reading and understanding. I repeated myself multiple times on this thread just trying to say what I said in the beginning.
Hardly anyone seemed to understand that the maps were available to me early and were removed.
Thank you to those who offered advice and experiences to make this easier. I really appreciate it. Thank you to the forum for allowing me a place to ask questions. I hope this helps somebody out there understand if they see content disappear in their instance of the game.

I've been playing for quite a while (much less than you), but I too have been primarily focusing on the crafting/gathering classes. So much so that I've only gotten up to a level 24 MSQ quest. My main was already over 51 in his Warrior class before I looked up how to get the maps. I too did see them on the list, and after getting a few seals, actually purchased one and attempted to use it. But I got an error message saying "You are unable to use this item at this time." I kinda figured it was because I needed to have finished all the mount speed increases for the first star, so I waited and focused on my crafters and gatherers while getting allied seals. As soon as I hit about 1000 seals I decided to buy a few more of the maps (calculated I needed about 4500 total for all). However, as soon as I had one crafter or gatherer at level 51, the maps disappeared, as much as the same as they did for you.
I found this post, read through it all, and definitely got the answer I wanted.Thank you.
I'm sorry you had to go through all that you did, but thank you for your patience and figuring out the "bug" that caused this. I hope that all and others can learn from this post.
Now to go back to the MSQs and get those completed so that I can get the rest of the maps and actually use them.

I suspect that upgrading to stormblood had nothing to do with them disappearing. I suspect your being able to see them without having finished the initial ARR MSQ was due to a bug that was subsequently fixed.


Or maybe the requirement was added because the game does not know how to deal with anyone getting the riding map before finishing the quest that increases mount speed in that area. That's what I think, at least.

its an issue with the base game getting info without knowing what to do with it, arr is told theres new items in the vendor because everyone has to run on the same patch regardless of their expansions, SB tells the vendor theres a flag to hide those items until x quest has been beaten (no clue why but thats the only scenario that makes sense), the items themselves have a flag "must beat x quest first"
so not having sb or ultima beaten means you can see the item and buy it but cant use it because you dont meet the reqs, and buying sb implemented the "hide this item" flag


This thread need to be pinned as an example of how to not ask for help. OP had many people trying to help but I stead of listening and give more info like they asked he started yelling and inulting those that only wished to help.
Both the OP and people replying are fault. OP didnt state he check the other tab until his third post and took forever to answer a question. The people replying failed to read his posts with any sense of comprehension, they just took too accussing him of not seeing it or looking in the wrong spot.
I think I have to point this out if you're looking for the NPC who sells the riding maps.
ARR: Hunt Billmaster on each GC
HW: Ardolain in Forgotten Knight
SB: Leuekin in Rhagl's Reach or Estrild in Kugane
