Do you use treasure maps? Or do you get rid of them?

    I find some treasures, but not all. (For example, only if I have a chance of getting a good piece of "overland" gear.)
    If I'm looking for a particular set, I'll use them.
    If not, I'll ask in guilds if anyone can find them useful, and if not, I just destroy them.

    Yes. I always use my treasure maps.
    But only because I have the add on which tells me where they are. I hate the old fashioned way of looking at the drawing and working out where it is. It's so vague and not to mention dull. Before I used the add on I would just destroy them or give them to the guild bank.

    The only treasure maps I don't use are the ones for Cyrodiil. I haven't been in there for over 3 years. The only way I'd go back in there is if they made a PvE version.

    If there's a chance of something good I'll do them, otherwise I give them away in guild or zone chat.

    I do the ones that are close to survey map locations, since I’ll be there anyway.

    The others I donate to my trade guilds because for whatever reason people love them in auctions and raffle prizes.

    No. I never go find the treasure.
    I used to...

    But I've never gotten something from a treasure map that was worth going out to get it. Good sets? Eh, 99% of the time you'll get the two bad ones instead, or a bad set piece (no one wants hats or shoulders)

    At least with random chests there's a chance of getting futniture, or jewelry, or weapons, or whatever depending on your chest level.

    Honestly they need to buff treasure maps to have either motifs, recipes, furniture plans, or furniture.. or at least rare style pieces..

    something to make it worth my time.

    No. I sell them, or give them away, or destroy them.
    I find they are not worth the space in my inventory or the time to go find them, so I always sell them in the guild store. Good luck to people who enjoy hunting for the treasure; I buy the actual overland gear I need instead of playing the RNG game with the maps.

    Maps are inventory fodder to further annoy you into subscribing to ESO+ for the better inventory. I will save a select few maps for specific zones for specific gear however, but that's really really only worth it for Briarheart, Mother's Sorrow, and MAYBE Spriggan's/Spinner's (to a lesser degree). The rest of the maps aren't worth the time spent to go pick them up.

    I just listed about 25 Treasure maps for 99ish gold each. I only keep or use ones from zones that have overland sets I like. Bangkori, Deeshan, Rivenspire and Auridon come to mind.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    So far, I've kept them all. I have an embarrassing number of alts, so I divide them up according to who is in the area already, and then use them up as I come to them. Basically the same thing I do with surveys. There's usually nothing I particularly want in them, but I mostly use the contents for deconstruction, because I'm a mat hoarder. And I can always use a little handful of extra gold if I'm in the area anyway, so why not?

    However, with all the events this past year, the maps are starting to pile up a bit, so I've been considering selling a few in the guild store.

    Yes. I always use my treasure maps.
    I usually wait until I get lots of them, then go and pick them up when I have time. Since I have all the landmass discovered on at least one character and maximum speed on horses, as well as addons that pinpoint the location, it is generally very quick.

    Yes. I always use my treasure maps.
    I generally use the ones that are easy-ish to get to. (I destroy Cyro maps, for instance. Along with IC master writs)

    Cyrodiil maps have quite a high change for Alliance page motifs. Those sell for several thousand gold or more if you get pages for big pieces like chest, head, legs etc. Also prices for zone set gear are sometimes high. I remember selling a Cyrodiil's Light inferno staff for 40K once. I usually pick them up on characters whose alliance base is the closest to the respective locations. For IC master writs you don't actually need to go to IC, just join a guild that has those craft stations in their guild hall, or simply check the price on MM/ATT/TTC and sell them on stores.

    Yes. I always use my treasure maps.
    I use them. If I have a character who is completing that map I'll give the treasure maps to them to use as and when they come across the location. If not I'll save them until I have lots and feel like using them, then one of my characters will have a 'chill out' day going around using them all.
