2019, and the results have been contentious.
I've done hundreds of maps since then, and do think the system is better in some ways. As always the loot could stand to be looked at again.

As Jepeth stated, last revamp was 2019. I do not like the changes personally and rarely do maps. I do not like remove trap and the trap guardians are a waste since there is no loot. I could cheat the system by digging up a few and waiting out the timers but then I am just wasting time so why bother? I shake the dust off my treasure hunter every few months, do one or two and then put him back in mothballs because it lost its fun.
Agreed. I think there was a lot of missed opportunity with the new items they added to the chests (ancient weapons / octopus necklace / etc) by not having them be part of some recipes to make other things. Once someone does Tmaps for a few weeks they obtain all the new items which are just decoration and they aren't worth any turn in points so they aren't even worth picking up to toss. Without a purpose for all new items, people are just doing maps for the magic items which are lackluster (as others have mentioned).As Jepeth stated, last revamp was 2019.

Thanks for the link. It was not long ago, then. Does not seem like they will pay attention to it until way after New Legacy is released.2019, and the results have been contentious.

I actually find the most lucrative drop in treasure maps are the SoTs and SoAs, I rarely find anything in the weapons and armour, but do find a market for forged pardons, mana phasing orbs and tasty treats. Surge shields I keep if they're mana surge, they help get me out of a bind when I'm doing Trove maps and need a mana boost.
