Treasure Maps in a bad place (Timeworn Br'aaxskin Specifically)

[NaoSen]

I go through periods of running maps and have noticed that less and less parties get advertised, I can't even remember when I last saw a PF listing for maps and whenever I suggest doing them to anyone its "No point, barely get portals, just depressing".

The Portal / Room Advancement Chance / Loot Rate combination is basically killing off any reason to do maps at all.

Did 50 maps today to test what kind of state these are in.

Number of Portals: 18
Number of times gotten past room two: 5
Number of times gotten to final room: 0
Number of Figmental Weapon Coffer: 0
Number of Corduroy Felt: 0

If you look at the marketplace the listings for coffers the demand and supply are both decreasing, basically maps are not being run.

Please give us a reason to do this content again.

I can only relate to my experience in Endwalker. Tbh, I found the Endwalker version of the maps to have portals very often but sometimes you'd get a day where hardly any of them did.

I agree that getting to the last room is pretty rare. That's why the content only really works if you see it as a regular social content. A time to chat with your friends while doing something totally braindead in the background.

Eventually, that thing in the background gets the last room and its loot.

In Endwalker I just duo'd the maps. Only needed 1 other person because of factors like tanks being able to survive on their own and heal their DPS friend. So that could be part of why as well.

Yeah, its not great. We run them every couple weekends as an FC group, and its just not fun seeing few portals, fewer advancement, and even less loot.

Semi-related, but my roommates and I were running the lvl 70 moogle maps/Gazelleskins a while back, and we kept getting the stupid roulette portals. I don't remember if it's still supposed to be 50/50 on the roulettes/normal door maps or if they changed the rates but the roulette maps are so much worse in terms of gil and are barely worth the effort. The level 80 maps have the same issue, and we just gave up running those because the enemies are so much spongier thanks to how the stat squish affected ShB content.

I only know about 5 people personally who do maps at all and every single one of them thinks that 7.1 had a rate stealth nerf on the Coffer introduction.

The rates are more like 30/70 or even 20/80 on level 70 maps. It desperately needs changing to 50/50.
I am currently at a ratio of 17 canals to 66 altars from portals.

No one wants to run Br'aaxskin maps, yeah. I've had way better luck getting people to show up for any maps but those.

Also add another way to get the coffers
These things are absurdly expensive just because of how repetitive and rng the source is

[VictorSpoils]

It's revenge for how high Excitatron's clear rate was. 3 hours yesterday, never made it past the fourth room. 0% clear rate.

[NaoSen]

If rates were not so terrible on the maps, then they wouldn't cost what they do.

On my world coffers about 11 mil, maps fluctuate so safe to say its about 200 maps worth of gil. Cheaper to buy the weapon than do the maps with rates as they are.
