ZOS should re-name treasure maps to garbage maps or...

Julianos

I've been deleting those maps since beta they literally waste of time unless you believe one man's trash is another man's treasure lol.

Treasure maps can be real excitement if you put some valulable items in the loot table. My suggestion is add monster helmets in the loot table and make the chests locked. Lets us open them with our gold and silver keys. Add rarity system to them for example; high rarirty maps will let you find rare chests with lots of locks on it like 10 gold lock 10 silver lock and those chests will yield one of those sought after traits like infused, divines or nirnhoned. While low rarity maps yield more common chest with less locks on them and they will drop those useless trait items like explore, sturdy etc. Give low chance to drop for monster helmets but not like %0,0001 give %10 chance add good amount of gold like 10-20k. Make them real treasure chests. People would kill each other for treasure in old times but in the elder scrolls people just delete them shame...

They should put random set drops in there and make it all available sets in the game in v16 version and BoE. That would be real exciting.

Believe it or not I sell them for 1k. That amazes me.

Disagree cuz adding random set drops will decrease your chances of getting the right monster helmet. Also those sets become obsolete when new DLC or content released. So my suggestion is only gold and monster helmets.

We don't really need more helmet sources. Yeah, why not put there, but not as the only thing.

When I was questing in Orsinium a few weeks ago, people bought my treasure maps for 10-12k each. Prizes might have dropped a bit (didn't check lately), but I wouldn't call them garbage.

Buying them with them AP is way more easy i can farm 1 million ap in 1 week or 1,5 week.

Also that source is not count because everyone is not pvp player.

Well if you want a helmet, you can go farm a dungeon. But there are many things you can't even get or go farm. Not everybody cares only for stupid helmets.

I farmed but never got what i want so i stop worrying about hemlets i dont care about them. I care about treasure maps treasure hunting could be exciting activity

Treasure Maps in Orsinium drop a guaranteed set piece of the new sets and are worth ~10k

If they changed the treasure into something rare,or unique,sure.I'd be all over hunting,but as it is I threw the maps away after hunting them all,finding nothing much.First time around was fun for the hunt,but not after that.

MrDerrikk

I sell them for 3k, and the Orsinium/Cyrodiil ones for more. But meh.

Wolfenbelle

Disagree

No. Absolutely not. I'm so tired of having group to do dungeons to get keys to open chests. To me, dungeons = having to group with people who are nasty, who forget that it's a GAME and are out only for themselves.

GAME should = playtime, fun. Not work, drudgery, a chore, with people yelling at you. Last straw for me was a couple of weeks ago when I grouped with someone to grind in the sewers. Guy did nothing but yell at me to use an ultimate, and complain that he wasn't going to carry us both, and so on. Pain in the butt. So after nearly two years of playing this game, I gave up on grouping with anyone anymore. I deleted all my "friends" and am going it solo. Will just bypass the group thing from now on. I will ignore any content that forces group play. So what if I don't get the best gear of the moment. No biggie to me.

I enjoy hunting chests for the treasure hunter achievement, for the bit of gold you get, and because I can sell the trash to vendors for a bit more gold. Good enough for me.

They don't.. Apart from orsinium maps, they sell maybe for 250-300g if lucky and even then I rarely ever sell them.

MrDerrikk seems to make money from them.It's better than destroying them,.which gives you NO money. :}

I am of the opinion that treasure obtained from the treasure maps should have UNIQUE items. There should always be gold, of course, but unique costumes, armor sets, trinkets with fun visual effects and even tri-pots or blue and purple food and drinks should all be things you find in treasure chests. Know what else should SOMETIMES be in treasure chests? SPIDERS! SNAKES! ANGRY MUDCRABS! The potential for such "scares" will make opening treasure chests a lot more fun and exciting.

awesome thoughts here!

While I didn't played this game much laterly and especially didn't hunted treasuries I think instead of a dumping or renaming treasure maps they should be revamped a little. Maybe add a chance for random motifs past blue?

That's pretty much what we are all saying,but the OP thinks the title should be changed.So do I,as they arent treasures,per se.

EsoRecon

Agree

I agree that ZOS should improve the loot tables of the treasure maps, however I do not support the idea of having monster helms/shoulders as possible drops. You can purchase all the treasure maps in the crown store and if you could get monster sets from those... One more step to Pay 2 Win.

Ruben

Disagree

Why would you use your gold keys in a treasure map chest when you could go to the Undaunted Enclave and use them all?

Florial

@Wolfenbelle I'm all for the achievements but wasn't aware of a treasure hunter achievement. I've been selling a few of them but will go back and try to complete them. And btw, if you need a hunting partner, contact me in game! I'm one of the nice folks out there and would love a grouping buddy, especially in IC which I haven't ventured into yet!

I would like to see them up the treasure a bit though. What I've opened is a bit underwhelming to say the least.

@Wolfenbelle
Mate, you seem to have had the worst luck ever with groups. I really hope you're on PC EU because I would gladly invite you along for a couple of no-pressure dungeon runs and show you that they can be awesome with the right people. I used to think that I hated grouping and the like because of my terrible luck in the lower zones, but now the daily dungeons with pugs is part of the fun for the chance to meet more cool people

update for treasure chests would be cool.....BUT ONLY IF THEY REMAIN FREE-TO-OPEN

...also getting keys is hell hard....i have never been able to complete single veteran dungeon even with 4x vr16 members

--i kinda accept with this....dungeons too hard & boring & annoying

Zerok

I disagree.

If you call them garbage maps, no one is going to buy them.

BalticBlues

Agreed, treasure maps are not worth the time, I also just sell/delete them.
Having monster set parts in treasure chests would change this completely!

However, not the helmet please: helmets you can farm.
Getting a fitting shoulder is what's really difficult and pure undaunted chest RNG.
