Treasure Hunting is Broken

[aray0002]

Treasure Hunting anybody try this using the Grade 5 Timeworn Peisteskin Maps ? Yeah.. well I farmed one up shouted out for peeps to help me out..
Requires full party of 8 in order to open coffer. 4 people with chocobo's join the party will work also.
So .. once the map is read and coffer location found.
Pop the top and mobs appear .. kill all the mobs and.. then you can obtain the Treasures. Well.. so you may think. Turns out.. the Rare / Loot becomes available to / Roll just like in dungeons. So basically the more people you have the less likely your going to get to keep the crap that you comes from your MAP.
This is equal to : You win a Pizza Party at Pizza Hut .. invite all your friends over to join you at YOUR pizza party. All friends show up, they get to EAT all the Pizza but, not you. Since it's your Party you cant have any Pizza. WTF ???
SE seriously ? Rare/Loot should go to the one that deciphers the map.

If you want to keep all the loot, why are you doing peisteskin maps? All the contents get randomly divided, as well as the gil split evenly, and then there's the loot to roll on. If you want everything for yourself, I'd suggest doing anything lower. Besides, the hardest map doesn't mean better loot. I've gotten a single NQ silver ingot out of'em before, while a plain leather map has given me 5 HQ twinthreads and a blue fox hide.

The peistskin maps are meant to be shared amongst other people. If all the loot is to be given to the map holder, then what is the motivation for others to help you complete it? I would recommend the boarskin map if your intention is to keep all the treasure for yourself.

The peistskins are meant for more social people, or those with classes that have difficulty soloing numerous mobs. People in our Free Company often join together with everyone bringing a map or two and all doing the maps together. So even though there is not much loot, by the end of the session we have 50-100 myth each, 20,000+ gil each and lots of random loot to keep or sell on the market place.

Also, you do not really need 8 people to open the peistskin. The game recommends it, but we have done them with 4-5 people before (no chocobos out either). So that is another way you can get more loot per person.

I never said i wanted everything for myself. the random split stuff should be compensation enough for all members that join the Hunt.
As for the actual loot that requires a /roll to earn which only happens a very low % of the time.. should not be /rolled at all.. Instead, it should fall to the one that deciphered the peisteskins map. Not sure why I come off looking like an @$$ here. I guess if you experienced this from my point of view you would see things different. Bottom line. a person who does absolutely nothing but /roll a high number can walk away with your hard earned time spent trying to earn the very item he got for free.

As Selyssa said, you don't need 8 person, you can even solo it if you manage. I do them everyday and duo them+chocobos easily.
Of course the more help you need the more you'll have to share loot.

I thought this was going to be about the bad drops. Mine have been either untradable aetheric gear I already have, or a few items you can sell for about 10 gil. I suppose the 3-5 tomestones add up over time. Maybe it's just me, but I expected a once-a-day (ok, 4 every 3 days) "treasure" to pay out more than a guildleve.

Eh I don't know, I think 5myth for a few seconds battle are pretty rewarding alone...for the rest I'm also very grateful about the shards. Anything else is just...better then nothing?

It's about 3 myth per day, regardless of how short the battle is. For peisteskin maps it may be a little more, and you could do up to one map per person per day. But still, the good drops are not at all frequent. I've seen 1 blue fox hide and zero minions. On the completely opposite extreme, even new & exotic HQ mat drops are so frequent they've driven resale prices to nothing.
