Bold treasure seekers rejoice as maps to untold riches can be found throughout the realm!
Treasure Maps can be obtained as loot from various creatures throughout Britannia. Scribes are able to create an Decryption Cipher which can be used to decode maps and obtain rough co-ordinates without the need for additional skills.
Treasure Chests can be unlocked via a variety of craftable tools:
- Skeleton Keys from Blacksmiths (number of charges raises with rarer ore types)
- Improvised Lockpicks from Alchemists
- Beware this item is explosive. Be sure to be out of range before it explodes!
Treasure Maps can be untrapped via a variety of craftable tools:
- Pressure Wedge from Carpenters (number of charges raises with rarer wood types)
- Leather Shim from Tailors
Map Carrying Monsters
In the main map levels dropped by monsters will correspond to those listed for main shards.
- Level 1: Stash
- Level 2: Supply
- Level 3: Cache
- Level 4: Hoard
- Level 5: Trove
Some differences to note:
- Daemon at Skara Brae Hedge Maze have no magery, and therefore drop supply maps, one level lower than their magical counterparts at Daemon Temple and in Hythloth
- Garthok the Orc Champion and Firesteeds drop Hoard maps
- The Legendary Foes drop Trove maps
The Guardians
Guardians on maps will be the same as for a Felucca map on main shards.
- Cold Drakes and Dragon Wolves can be tamed by characters who have read the Dragon Bestiary
- Greater Dragons and Frost Dragons cannot be tamed
The Treasure
As with Main Shard maps, the content will reflect the map type, e.g. a ranger’s map will most likely contain items such as bows.
- Quantity of items increases with chest levels
- Maximum property intensity on weapons and armor is determined by the congiarium level
- A treasure bag with gold and gems, quantities varying with chest quality and level
- A Treasure map one level lower
- Mage maps contain a bag of reagents, quantities vary by chest quality and level
- Cache Map, octopus necklace
- Antiquities and heirlooms, varying with chest quality and level
Antiquities and Heirlooms
Both antiquities and heirlooms can be obtained from treasure chests, with a higher chance of both increasing with the level of map. Treasure maps are one of the best sources for these on New Legacy.
