Explorer Pack Treasure maps?

LordMcSwagger

Can someone please confirm that Explorer Pack Treasure map chests do not have a chance of producing a glass armor fragment,

Thanks,
Swagger

I've had 2 from them and one from a normal chest.

According to the patch notes for 2.1.4, they don't drop malachite shards:

• Clarified the wording for Treasure Map packs offered in the Adventurer's Bundle. It now reads: "Unlike other treasure maps, these troves will only contain gear based on your character's preferred weapon and armor skills."
• This is to explicitly state that the treasure these maps lead you to will never contain Malachite Shards.

What about glass motif page fragments or xivkyn?

You don't get glass armour fragments from chests,

You get Malachite fragments which when you have 10 of can be refined to make malachite which is the stone used to make glass armour from,

The Adventurers Bundle, iirc, is different from the Explorers Pack, which was either obtained from pre-orderings, purchasing the Imperial Edition or as an individual purchase the XBL/PSN Stores. I could be wrong though.

It is different and the same. I also don't think you can get the Explorer Pack anymore unless you buy a code from the few places that may still have them. It was a Pre-Release thing so the codes my not even work anymore. I ended up tossing the maps as I could not get to the zones that most of them were in early when bag space was so precious. Not that storing 20 or 30 maps is really viable now either even with maxed bags and bank. The main reason I bought the pack was to play any race in any alliance.

Also, I have gotten more maps from the game than the packs ever gave me, and they are for the zones I am in at the time, not zones I have yet to reach.

I ditched mine early on as well. Never thought I would see myself looking up the locations and going to each one. About a month ago, several us received another set of the maps, ring of mara, etc. in the mail, so I have them all again (haven't opened the urns that they're contained in though). I plan on opening one urn at a time and finding them this weekend, to test this out. I'll update this thread come Monday with my findings.

So, you received a second Ring of Mara?

I have been carrying these damn urns since console release day, but I have just now opened the second one (for Coldharbor) and I'm in the 2/3 zone so I'll open my third urn soon.

That's correct.

It was some mail/system glitch on their end that ZOS said, "Uh, happy birthday or something?"

At any rate, I still have my second pledge waiting to be used for my alt.
