Seriously it went too far. This trash drops in tons, it isnt worth time to open chests, you cant just put them into guild bank, and you just cannot sell them to NPC! I try to send them to someone through guild chat but I always hear 'Is it Vvardenfell map? No, then meh'
It can be such an interesting feature, please make them actual treasure. There are many ways the situation can be improved
1. Make them drop much less frequently, like 10 times less
2. Make them depositable into Guildbank. If you can sell them through a guildstore, why not deposit them into GB?
3. Make them stackable. Like surveys are
4. Add something valuable to loot table like you did with Armiger, preferably something bound (like tresure hunter-specific furniture) so they are worth looting
5. Make them sellable to NPC for 5gp just in case
And preferably all at once

✭✭✭Took about 3 hours but I FINALLY found every treasure map I had on several characters. Deconned 95% of what I found and sold the remaining 5% to players.
Maps need a serious upgrade. All for Gold Set drops from treasure maps, least they could do honestly.Edited by Silver_Strider on March 26, 2018 7:49PMArgonian forever8 -

✭I just accept that treasure maps are only worth going after in very specific zones and trash the rest. Would be nice if they added something rare and exciting that could only be looted from treasure map chests.
Edit: An achievement with dye, skin, pet, polymorph, or costume would be a good incentive to hunt for treasure maps.Edited by Ley on March 26, 2018 8:24PMLeylith - MagSorc | Leyloth - StamPlar | Leynerd - MagPlar | Leylit - StamBlade | Ley Eviticus - StamDK | Leydor - MagDen | Leylum - StamSorc | Leylux - MagBlade2 -

Kumbiya✭✭✭The malachite can sell in guild stores and depending on the zone you can potentially get valuable set pieces to sell.. on one of my treasure maps I got an infused Sword of the Dragon for example and was able to sell that for over 50k. I do agree though, they're largely a waste of time and underwhelming.CP 700+

I was kind of thinking the same thing. I dont have millions. But i make enough off treasure chests to loot and let them take of inv space.
OP: You could just sell the maps guild traders. They arent bound. You can get 100 plus for them and they usually sell decent if you price them right on a decent trader.1 -

Deconstruct, sell drops, research, etc. Useful stuff. I never sell the actual maps themselves. I harvest them and gain from the results.

✭✭✭✭✭Seriously, the idea behind Buoyant Armiger drops was a good one. It's only the numbers that are a sociopathic abomination.
I was actually pretty disappointed when I figured out nothing worthwhile dropped from CWC chests. Not even paintings or other artwork/furnishings unique to Clockwork, which would have been neat."A probable impossibility is preferable to an improbable possibility." - Aristotle11 -

Yep me too. Even if you just cashed everything in you get like 300 from the chest.

Yep its all about turnover and knowing what something is worth. I see a lot of people put stuff on traders and dont bother to do any research or know the value of it and they will have a 500 gold item on trader for 1200 gold and then be like " i need more slots", No you need to learn how to move items. If most of your store inventory isnt turning over every 24 hours, your doing something wrong. If something is on the trader more than 3 days, your doing something wrong.1 -
Stewart1874✭✭✭✭✭Its treasure, or meant to be but you get utter trash. Gold jewellery being like a 50% chance with the overall rarity being upped a fair bit would be nice.
I've been playing this for a good few years now and I am yet to have gold jewellery drops

✭✭✭✭✭I got a sharp spriggans dagger from a treasure chest once, but of course, I sat on it too long to sell it for much (thanks transmute). I have also done hundreds of these over my years in ESO, and its the only remotely useful thing I can remember.
Otherwise, yeah, treasure maps are best described as a chore. If they arent from Vvardenfell, they arent worth your time to collect. Shame, but very low on my priority list in terms of needed improvements.0 -

Maps have their uses, especially at low levels.
I made a ton of cash with maps.
1.Buy a crap load of cheap cyrodill maps
2. Enter cyrodiil late at night when very few people are on
3. go to locations and open x amount of maps I have in the mail
4. sell alliance motifs, decon trash for alliance style mats, sell decent cyrodiil gear
5. ??????
6. Profit

No way!
I love collecting them and I'm glad each time I get one! In worst cases, it's still some gold, some soul gems, some loot to decon/sell to merchant.i buy a couple of dozen maps every few days.... i enjoy the run around picking them up as well as all the mats and lock boxes on the way.
It's a mini adventure each time In Shadowfen it's mostly about all those materials on the way to the treasure, in Vvardenfell it's excitement and waiting for a miracle when opening the chest 
Also I love when treasure chest contains another treasure map, adventure non-stop! I only "hate" starter islands maps, cause once I go there, I gather materials for hours and often forget why I came there 
Some weeks ago I gathered four Cyrodiil treasure maps (over a few weeks also, took very long to accumulate them - so absolutely no need to lower the drop rate) and decided it's time to collect them. I ended up riding around whole map, getting some motifs, lot of materials on the way, some missing lore books. Was very nice adventure.
I totally agree that maps should be stackable though. No idea why they aren't
And suggestion to add chance of dropping gold jewelry is also great. 3 -
Thunderknuckles✭✭✭✭Man, I just destroy treasure maps anymore. All they do is take up space, and the chests just drp trash for the most part. Don't need to go out of my way to dig one of these up when I can just do the same with the junk I get from trash mobs.4
