Treasure maps and are they rare/worth it?
I'm new to the game and found my first treasure map in Mournhold after beating a dolmen and i was just wondering if they're common and if they lead to good loot or anything interesting?

✭✭In my experience they're incredibly rare. In DC I went through Alik'r and Bangkorai without finding a single map.
I think I've found four maps total, and it's not like I don't open chests.1 -
Smitch_59✭✭✭✭✭I once found a treasure map for sale at a guild store for 50 gold. I bought it.

So would it be a good idea to find the treasure then sell it to my guild trader for a low price to be a nice guy?

✭✭✭✭✭Sure you can sell them, but they are about the best source for Malachite Shards.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

✭✭I find many treasure maps in AD,but never any good treasure.Just the same things you find in chests.Nothing yet worth keeping.Edited by Volkodav on December 22, 2015 12:54AM0 -

Malachite Shards are what you need to make Glass Armor once you know the motif. They are the "style material" for glass armor/weapons. You actually need multiple shards (10 I believe) which you then refine into a single Malachite which will make one piece of armor/weapon. I also recall that once you refine them (So they are now the whole style material and not just shards) they will be bound to your account (cannot trade/sell them)Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord2 -

✭They are good if you are v16 and it's Cyrodill/Wrothgar map. Then you can find new sets in there.Georgion - Bosmer/Templar - PC/EU2 -

So how much are they worth usually or should i keep it for the future?
I also found a purple dwarven armor motiff which i used..hopefully it'll be use full later on0 -

Awesome, I'm playing much slower. Just hit level 46 after 5 months. I think I had an early malachite share too. I think I have 7 now.Huor Melwasul - Archdemon, The Demons of Light - Warlock, Hufflepuff House - ADXB1 - NAI'm only updating this because we're commenting on a thread about signatures.

Then corrected to:(I am an idiot.I meant Malachite.XD Im not awake yet and deserve any laughs you wish to give me.)
On the other hand, I have been amazed at the sheer number of "skyshards" that happen to be located in boxes or crates. Just a weird thought as a RP type.
I haven't found a single glass motif. Have ... maybe 20 shards (I traded 10 to a friend who made a glass destro staff for one of my DK characters).

Hmmmm. Reminds me of the time I found 5 stamina attribute points in a dolmen chest. I'm a magicka build so I was pretty disappointed!2
