Treasure Maps

I have just gotten an edition of the game for Xbox One where I receive a few treasure maps with an install code.

I have already installed the code, but if I wait until I am a higher level will the treasure be better? Is the loot from the maps level based?

Thanks.

    the loot is based on the location of the treasures, so no need to wait.

    If you want higher level treasure, you will need multiple characters, one starting in each faction. Then you can wait on the treasure maps until you are doing Cadwell's Gold. Treasure isn't going to be worth it though.

    Save your treasure maps until after the next major update...They will be the best chance you have of finding what is needed to craft in the new Glass Armor motif.

    A new style motif and the style material is going to have an unknown change to be obtainable by treasure map rewards.

    As the trouble needed to get the style mat, the rng involved on the treasures and other things are unknown, it is pure speculation. It MIGHT be worth waiting for it and it might just be a waste of inventory space to wait.

    no one knows the rng in this game?

    It might not be worth it, but it sounded like the OP was referring the Adventurer Pack maps and if he/she doesn't open them that's a quite a few maps only taking up 3 inventory slots. And the patch notes did say chests found from treasure maps would be our best chance of finding the malachite shards by a wide margin. It will probably still be a ridiculously low chance, but I'd risk it, for only three inventory slots lol

    See reference from PTS Patch Notes:

    •Malachite Shards can be found in Treasure Chests around the world. Chests with more durable and difficult locks are more likely to contain them, but the chests that require a Treasure Map to find have the best chance by a wide margin.

    A bundle available in the Crown Store that includes the ability to play as any race in any alliance, a pet, a pack of unique treasure maps (one for each zone in the game), and maybe some kind of consumable (can't remember exactly what the last thing was).
