hi zos,
please let us stack treasure maps.

we can stack surveys and they are very similar in that they're both paper.
i save surveys till i have about a dozen of a zone's surveys so i can do them without hopping zones a lot.

i wish i could do the same with maps as i do with surveys.
miaow! i'm Luna ( she/her ).

    Seriously. They are so low-value anyway. Only reason I keep them is when they are tied to a lead I do not have yet. Otherwise, I sell them for pennies

    I think both maps and surveys should be stored in the craft bag too, and be usable from there. I might actually do them from time to time then

    I just counted this morning. If you saved them until you had multiples of all of them (the way you can get away with doing in Fallout 76), you'd need about 200 slots for surveys, and about 250 slots for maps. So, basically, your whole bank, or the equivalent. Allowing them to be stored in the craft bag would be a huge selling point for ESO+.

    I don't understand why players aren't just digging these up or selling them when they get them. I've never stored a map or a survey because I use them the same day I get them.

    Cos they’re not very interesting to do in the first place, or they drop when I’m in a trial or dungeon etc.

    because everytime i do them i have to look for them and the dirt mounds are not easy to see so i save them to do a dozen or so on one day every so often.

    If I do writs on all 20 characters that can be a dozen surveys a day, and potentially a dozen different zones I have to travel to. That's a lot of extra gametime I could be spending doing something that doesn't make me hate the game

    Maps are unique and we can only have one of the same map in our bag at a time, so we would not be able to bring a stack of maps with us.

    I'm not stopping in the middle of something just to go somewhere else to dig up a map.

    I save them for Endeavors that call for them, or I plan specific time to dig up a few.

      I dig mine when I get them if I'm not in the middle of something. Otherwise I dig them when I'm cleaning out my bag before logging that character off for the day.

      I don't remember ever putting a map or survey in my storage to just sit there.

      We can sell treasure maps we get, so why can't we sell surveys? We can sell the materials we get from them, so why not let us sell the mat "maps" and save time and inventory space?

      And yes, what a waste of time to have 5 separate, unstackable copies of the same treasure map. Four in the bank, 1 in your inventory. Run around looking for a barely noticeable dirt mound, dig it up, dismiss your companion and pull out your banker, find another copy of the map, withdraw it, dismiss the banker and resummon companion, mount up and ride 1/4 mile away, turn around, ride 1/4 mile back to where you were a minute ago to respawn the dirt mound, dig it up, dismiss companion, resummon banker, and repeat three more times?

      Of all the time killing, gameplay stretching mechanisms ZOS invented to keep us logged ln, this is by far the most obnoxious.

      And on console you need to remember where the treasure chest is, use another device, or match the picture and try to find a bump in the ground. All of that takes time and is annoying.

      At a minimum, treasure maps locations should glow blue if you have the treasure chest passive

      We need QoL additions to things like treasure maps and surveys on console where we don't have mods. Having them in your inventory should display a location on the map for that zone so that we don't have to rely on pulling up maps on a third party website.

      We do not need to dismiss our companion to use our banker. When we use the banker our companion is temporarily gone until we dismiss our banker at which point the companion just appears again.

      Maps are pretty much wortless anyways, except the ones from newer regions. You can buy them for a few gold if you want to. No point storing them until they be updated into something useful.

      Since you cannot use both at the same time, one must be dismissed to summon the other.

      I like to give them to my alts so they can dig them up whenever they finally get to those particular zones in their playthroughs. But aside from that, I don't use any addons, and I feel bad about looking up treasure map locations online or in an app, so I try to find their locations by myself. Or, if I'd had to look up some map's location sometime in the past, I try to find it again from memory rather than "cheating" again. But treasure maps are generally much, much harder to find that way than surveys are, plus the piles of dirt don't glow like treasure chests and antiquity dig sites do, and often the piles of dirt are very hard to see amongst their surroundings. Consequently, the ones I can't find right away tend to sit around in my inventory or bank account.

      But that's your playstyle and not everyone plays the same way.

      I generally do treasure maps on the same character, who has all of the wayshrines and is set up accordingly, so I wait until I've got a fair number and do a treasure chest session.

      I also hold onto antiquity lead treasure maps until I'm ready to farm the leads. This means that characters have to hold onto treasure maps they get because there may be one in the bank. With 20 characters (my choice), keeping track of who's got what is a challenge.

      It would be lovely if we were able to stack treasure maps and unused siege. Maps are such a hassle to dig up as one offs that I just delete them unless it's a map that I need for codex entries. How many hundreds of thousands of treasure maps and siege are clogging up server resources???

      When I said
      dismiss your companion and pull out your banker
      , I was already aware of recently introduced functionality. Yes, it is done at the same time, but since you cannot have two assistants out at one time, you must first dismiss the current one to activate the desired one. The action of summoning a banker, merchant, or fence begins with the desummoning of the companion. If it did not, then there would be a brief period of time in which the player would have both out at once, and that is something that ZOS says we are not able to do. And as your ZOS quote states, the dismissal does indeed take place first.

      But I do appreciate you trying to clarify it for me.

      I was just trying to clarify that the companion didn't need to be manually dismissed before the banker was summoned and vice versa. Not everyone is aware of this.

      Just the other day my friend told me he was going to submit a bug report because he was unable to dismiss Azandar. He said he would dismiss him but a second later he would return on his own. I asked how many times this had happened and he said "I summoned my banker 4 times and every time I dismissed him Azandar would appear." I explained the change and told him he would have to actually dismiss Azandar now.

      I don't understand why players aren't just digging these up or selling them when they get them. I've never stored a map or a survey because I use them the same day I get them.

      Because I absolutely despise digging them up. I am on PlayStation 5, so I don't have the pleasure of add-ons. I have to grab my phone and then look for the location's general area. I say general location because I am not able to zoom in on the map on my PlayStation 5. And many of the treasure maps I find online show all the locations in a general sense and you cannot zoom in on those either to be more precise.

      Once I have my general area, I then have to locate the mound. There is no keen eye and I have poor eyesight. For me, keen eye is an skill that helps with my bad eyesight. I'm not blind or anything, but I do wear glasses and have generally poor eyesight. They make them kind of hard to spot on purpose for even people with good eyesight, but for me, it's even harder. I can pass by the mound multiple times. Some times, it take me 5 to 10 minutes running around trying to find it.

      And if I have multiple (on different characters, the bank, and mail in the case of treasure maps), then I have to run back and forth.

      The thing is that I actually like treasure chests, in terms of opening them. I like the armor pieces to decon for the style pages. I love the chance for leads and paintings especially. The rewards make this process worth doing. But not every day. If I had to do it everyday, I'd probably burn out and hate this game.

      So every once in a blue moon, I dedicate a play session to chores and collect surveys and maps. I then enjoy my haul.

      It’s even worse when you’re on console with no add-ons, multiples of the same map, and no banker. Multiple trips back and forth to the banker.
