"Treasure map" chests people, treasure *MAP* chests ...

Now, back on topic.
Can anyone please positively, absolutely, no doubt, yes i just did it, found one, confirm that they got a painting from a treasure MAP chest? You know, from a chest that you needed a hand painted MAP to find.

I did this in one of the first few replies...

I did this about 60 seconds after the topic was created.

Actually, the time stamp says it was 5 minutes after the topic was started and your one liner completely faded into oblivion in-between all the other posts of people who don't know the difference between nothing and a paper map.

There were at least 4 other replies that said they got them from maps. Maybe you guys should just read a little closer before posting

guyz, he is talking about treasure map chests, not a 'wild' treasure chest you stumle upon in the world while questing.

the patch today was supposedly going to adress that and make treasure map chests drop paintings.

Well, someone clearly forgot to add that line of code (or the lame excuse as to why that code is missing).

Three Treasure Map Chests opened, not one single map.

All The Best

you were sitting on about 100 treasure maps? Even spread out across the inventories of multiple characters and the bank, how did you manage that?

@UrQuan @Linaleah

26 zones, 6 to 8 maps each zone, Cyrodiil having like 15, that is 156 to 210 unique maps. It is conceivable to have 100 maps on one character. Now, with RNG being what it is, and I speak from experience, when you get over 50 to 60 maps, it's rare to get a unique one. I had a bit more than 60 saved up before One Tam for the Dropped Set items, and it was a bit of a shuffle to find mules to store them on.

True, but somehow I can't ever seem to collect more than about 9 or 10 before I have a duplicate that I can't store on the character/in the bank where I have my other maps...

Doesn't seem ambiguous at all

Really now?

"Yes I got 3
I got Painting of a Crag Study, twice now - and I also got Painting of Lakes Sturdy
But that's out of about 100 chests opened lol "

100 world chests? 100 treasure map chests? 100 of what exactly? lol?


PS: And most of your quotes are from people who did NOT find any. So how does that help the OP's question?

Because the title of the post is: "Has anyone actually gotten a treasure map painting?". Are words really so hard to figure out?

Half of those replies I quoted (and I didn't even get them all) were people saying they found them. I specifically said I found them. People just need to work on their reading comprehension skills.

it seems the drop rate is very very low. I've done over 25 and no paintings.

I got 1 painting in about 20 maps. Got 4 out of normal chests in world and delves/dungeons.

I can't confirm personally @SirAndy, but I have a friend in Lone Wolf that I trust, who knows the difference between treasure MAP chests and random chests, and who has stated he found a painting in a treasure map chest today.

Can now personally confirm, I just found "Painting of Palms, Study" in a treasure MAP chest in The Rift.

After opening 70 treasure map chests i have come to the conclusion that these chests are inferior to advanced & master level zone chests.
I also received 1 painting from70 maps.....
In future i will probably sell these maps for a few hundred gold as they are not worth the trouble...

That is pretty much the conclusion I came to. I did 40 maps, got no paintings, and sold the rest.

The drop rate in non t-map chests from what i've been seeing is about 0.5% with the treasure hunter passive. (still trying to farm some decisive green pact daggers.. i do a few hundred chests at least of all levels a day.) If the drop rate from t-maps is the same, expect one every 200 chests you do or so, pretty much the same figure as drops of yellow tempers from refining mats.

I have a hard time believing this is accurate.

I have only opened 230 chests since this started (I know because I was going for the achievement to buy treasure chests furnishings) and I have found close to 20 paintings, possibly more. I also got 1 painting from doing 4 treasure maps earlier. I suppose I could be incredibly lucky, but I doubt it.

rng favored you. because i opened about the same amount of chests (going for the same achievement) and got... 4 paintings. 2 small, one medium and one large. and i got lucky with a LOT of advanced and a number of master chests.

edited to add.. and now to see if rng still hates me, and grab all the rest of my treasure maps.

update. no paintings. rng still hates me. but hey, i managed to get 7 heartwood while running between all the maps so my sorc got her new bookcase. and a ton of stuff for decon, naturally. all in all - I may have as well not waited to use the maps until after patch, since result, for me at least - is essentially the same.

Well, i do a 70 chest run in Grahtwood (as i said, i'm after decisive green pact daggers) at least 3x a day. Sure, some chests aren't there each time but the most part of them are so i can even round that down to 150 chests minimum in a day and sometimes i get none, every once in a while i'll get one on a run but i've only ever had 2 maximum in the one chest run so in all the chests you've opened, getting 20 is pretty much how many i should be getting every day and i'm getting none some days. Bearing in mind for some reason, there are a lot more Advanced and Master chests since the last patch, maybe there should be closer to the figures you're quoting but i'm judging from doing thousands of chests, not just 230.

Keep me posted because i'm curious to know how much more success you have

p.s. i take it you use the treasure hunter passive and if not, this is even more weird.

I've been getting nothing but paintings in Master and Advanced treasure chests in Craglorn for the past week, even duplicates. I have at least 2 of Crags, Summer, Spring, Bridges and lakes I believe it's called. This is all within the last 7 days. By comparison, I've only found 1 Ra Da gada motif page in those chests.
