CE Maps & Treasure Map loot?

Couple of questions about CE maps from imperial edition (kept from last year) and normal treasure maps you get from loot drops in world.

Do the rewards from the treasure maps and ce maps scale to VR16? Are they worth keeping until max level and then using them?
Do they give any other new type of rewards or loot to do with Imperial City DLC?
Or do they just scale to your level or the area they are in?

Thanks.

    I think they'll be scaled to the level of the area... But if they do lvl to you that would be awesome. I would like to know if you find out.

    Nope they sure don't. I was a little disappointed as I was hoping they would scale. I just did about 6 CE maps and they didnt scale. Highest level piece was like VR 10.

    So CE maps still scale to the zone they are in? Ok thanks.

    What about normal maps? A few people seemed to be buying loads of them because they thought they were changing maps some how in the IC update?

    I don't really care what level they scale to, the reason to use them now is treasure map chests have the highest chance for malachite shards. I've been saving all my maps for a while now. I've got about 40 of them, I'm going to fight the loading screen disaster and run them all today or tomorrow and see how much malachite I can accumulate.

    Awesome plz let us know how you get on. Yes I was wondering also if the lower level zone treasure maps would give IC rewards?

    I did about 20 maps total. I got two shards.

    @Troneon they were buying them because treasure chests are the only way to get the new stones to make the glass armor motif. The map chests have a significantly higher drop chance then regular chests.

    Ok awesome thanks.

    So next question would be, do these treasure maps drop any of the new gear sets? Or is it literally just for the new IC shards?

    No, you can only get those with IC shards.

    Final tally from 34 maps was 21 malachite shards. Not too shabby.

    That's a really good percentage actually. Nice.

    The thread is about CE maps tho, those do not drop malachite shards.

    Actually it's about both. From the OP comment...

    Couple of questions about CE maps from imperial edition (kept from last year) and normal treasure maps you get from loot drops in world.

    Right. However the thread went like this:

    Someone reading that could get the wrong impression that you can get malachite shards from CE maps. Thus my comment. No offense meant.

    Summary:
    @Sharee @ontheleftcoast @likelolwhat
    CE Treasure Maps scale to level of zone they are in and do not scale loot to VR16 and do not give any malachite shards.

    Normal Treasure Maps you get from anywhere from random places and drops in the world also scale to level of zone they are in and do not scale loot to VR16, but they do give a pretty good amount of malachite shards, rate could be RNG.

    How's that? Correct? Thanks for the info gathering and checking! :)
