Treasure Maps CE and Looted
Cyphernihil_ESO
Soul Shriven
Quick question about all treasure maps, do they scale with level? or do just CE maps scale? or do none of them scale?
Also in that aspect, depending on the first answers; are they worth hunting down right away or late in the game IE 50/Veteran?

Shimond✭✭✭✭Pretty sure like the normal chests they're based on the zones they're in. The maps also vanish as soon as you dig up the chest, so it's a one time per account deal (currently).0 -
Grimas✭Hunt down right away. What ever zone I am in I have that map in my quick slot. They do drop some nice stuff. I am still using the sword a looted at lvl 11 and I am level 17 now since I havent been to the next zone yet so dont have the crafting materials or havent looted anything betterGrimas - Imperial DK Tank - DC0

Mortelus✭✭✭Do you only get treasure maps for 1 character that was created?
Yes and it needs to be changed, I used 3 maps and I am not even playing that character anymore.
Sorry but a promotional gift like this should be applied to all new characters created on the account. Just make the loot tables different and the value of the items 0 gold to stop people spamming gold.
And can we please have a tab for pets that once right-clicked are added to the tab and taken out of our bags.
Who has time? But if we never take time how can we ever have time?0 -
Laerian✭✭✭The maps are more a problem than a benefit.
- It is not an account wide feature.
- You need to unpack them to store them in the bank.
/Edited because clarification
Considering all these, if I had to choose again I would choose not to pre-order.Edited by Laerian on April 4, 2014 3:24AM0 -
Seraseth✭✭✭✭The maps are more a problem than a benefit.

- This is not an unique pre-order feature since the same maps can be looted in game.
- I'm pretty sure that if you have one map in your inventory, you can't loot the same map from another source because they are "unique".
- I'm almost sure that if you have one map in your shared bank you can't loot the same map from another source because the game assumes that it is in your inventory. This happened to me in beta with other unique items.
- and last but not least, I haven't seen a big difference between these treasure chests and the others.
Considering all these, if I had to choose again I would choose not to pre-order.
The unpacking is annoying, and I hope they change that.
These maps are CE maps, the ones you can find are numbered. Glenumbra CE map is different from Glenumbra map 4. So your next 3 points are inaccurate.
And as for not being different from other treasure chests, you have to be blind or not have done them. On average I get 1 green item from a locked chest. So far from the 3 maps I've done I've gotten 2 blues and 3-4 greens from each one. Huge difference.

Mortelus✭✭✭I just passed the items on to my alts when I out leveled them.
But from what I have seen so far, might just be coincidence though, all my loot has been releated to what character I am playing, all medium armour, all 1h/bows. I am yet to loot a 2h or light/heavy armour.
Which is annoying cuz my current character is 2hr medium NB

So far I've gotten 2 1h blue weaps out of each, and I'm playing a sorc. My last chest had 2 light armor pieces which was nice, but a previous one did have some mediums.

Thanks for clarifying the "CE" thing.

I answered from what I remember from beta since I haven't received the explorer maps and the pets yet.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭You don't have to unpack them all right away. I have the 4 containers on my main char and only take maps out of them one by one when i need them.
At least that way, they only take up 4 slots ...

Seraseth✭✭✭✭the other 2 faction map, can I open it at VR level when I get to that zone and get the VR level gear ?
That's what I want to know. I know the maps in your faction are leveled to the zone, multiple people have confirmed it. But will the maps give you lvl 50 gear when you're in veteran content in the other factions?
I'd like to know whether to give the other faction maps to my alts, or save to use at 50.

I messed up with these CE maps. I opened them up on a toon I started on DC but decided to switch Alliance and now I'm stuck with these maps marked for DC locations.0

Unless you have received them 3 times as your explorer pack.
Got one explorer, as I should. Found the treasure. Received it again after maintenance, thought "wth, lets try" It was there. Third time, not even bothered... Asira Avalis - Mage0 -

I think you can still put it in your bank and take it with another character later when you want to."The Divines gave you a nose for a reason, Tharn. So you can keep your mouth shut and still keep breathing. - Lyris Titanborn0 -
MercyKilling✭✭✭✭✭Do you only get treasure maps for 1 character that was created?
Yes, but there are maps for every faction.
I'd planned on making one character for each faction....so this works out GREAT. I've opened all the map packs on my main, stuck them all in the bank, and now, just before going into a new zone, I stop by the bank and take out the relevant map. It's a godsend. Thankew, Zenimax!I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
3) Difficulty slider.
4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.0 -

Treasure Maps are tradeable. Even if the CE ones are bound, they are bound to your account not character. I'm sure you could trade them to your new character and find them in that Alliance.0 -
rich-dragonb14a_ESOSoul ShrivenCE Maps scale to the zone level and they work in VR zones so save them imo 0

SeñorCinco✭✭✭✭If they are zone dependent in lieu of character level, I may just delete them all like I did with those stupid pets. I'll have vet gear by the time I get there anyway.
I need the space more than a few items that will be below my character's current gear.Words contained in posts, at which point I stop reading and will not respond...

Seraseth✭✭✭✭Eh, even if the items are useless to your level, can still sell/break em down for parts.0

By the time i get around to doing that for parts, that slot could accommodate several hundred items to break down.Eh, even if the items are useless to your level, can still sell/break em down for parts.

Seraseth✭✭✭✭Once I found out they weren't veteran level (which really, should have been done) I gave them to my alts. You might wanna hang on to them for a little bit, just in case they decide not being veteran level was an oversight.
Doesn't make much sense to make 2/3 of the maps you get as a bonus be worthless to people without alts.0 -

i'm AD VR2 and the stonefall/bal foyen/bleakrock CE maps gave me VR1/level 50 gear so whoever said that you only get the original non VR zone level items from the CE map chests in VR zones are lieing or its bugged for the other alliancesEdited by rich-dragonb14a_ESO on April 12, 2014 3:26AM0 -
Seraseth✭✭✭✭Hmmm, that's good to know. Maybe he confused a locked chest with a CE one? Are those scaled to you as well? or same as original zone level?
You might wanna go into that question thread I made asking about maps, and add a different opinion in case someone else reads it!0 -
Florizel✭There seems to be a max level of CE treasure in every zone, but if your level is lower, then your treasure will have your current level, so don't rush after the treasure right when you enter a new zone.0
-
JosephChip✭✭✭I want to clarify this: if you use the CE maps with the same character, once you are in the VR zone the chests will contain VR loot.
I played an AD character. Opened the EP and DC chests when questing there in veteran mode. They contained veteran loot.1
