good to know tyYou don't need to dig every single tile. With zero mining you have 1 tile radius around tile you trying to dig. So single dig cover 3x3 tiles area. Central tile and one tile in each 8 directions.

Any starting character can do level 1 maps. Shovel. Sextant. Unlock and Telekinesis from npc. Buy starting magery, cartography, mining from npc. Don't even need lockpicking for low level maps. Buy npc sword and armor to fight the deadly mongbats, skeletons, zombies, and ratmen which spawn on level 1 maps. Collect event items.T-maps?!!?!?!?! i don't even have cartography......*sighs*
Who's thinking this quest arc up??? "Lets do it in 4 parts that only certain people can do certain parts, that will make everyone happy"....lol

@Kylie Kinslayer I give credit where it's due when it's do....
I do find gathering maps slaughtering things here and there and going to find them digging them up and actually finding an item each and every time fun and rewarding... I do work I get a reward... seems far more enjoyable than doing hours and hours of work and having nothing to show when your done.
As for the map locations I had ONE so far that quite honestly I went and must have tried 100 times to find the "spot"... checking rechecking and checking again... actually put it in a davies locker and tried to find it even... I almost gave up but then managed to hit it finally.... even with GM Mining on it seemed VERY illusive... but I did find it... perseverance pays off I guess.
Ahh.. thought the 1 tile deal was a fixed spot not a radius. Cool, good to know.You don't need to dig every single tile. With zero mining you have 1 tile radius around tile you trying to dig. So single dig cover 3x3 tiles area. Central tile and one tile in each 8 directions.
The coordinates usually cover an area rather than a one tile slot. You are already using Davies locker and EC which makes things much easier. Once you make it to the place where the coords on your minimap match those from the Davies locker, time to start digging. Don't forget to set the map as the target for your shovel prior to digging. Dig in a couple of spots around you. If no luck move a bit (making sure you stay within the right coords) and try again.Any tips for digging up chest? I decode the map, put it dave jones locker got the coordinates. Using the EC went to the exact coordinates dug all around the place and nothing. This Arc has not been fun but frustrating to me.
In my experience, there are places like Verity Isle, some land out of trinsic, Buc's, etc, that have slight ridges in them. And even with GM mining, if I am off the ridge and the map is on the ridge, I won't find it even tho I'm within one tile. So if you see that ridge, you may have to walk it top and bottom
This makes sense. I made a T hunter with a token for the Zippy quest maps. The treasure is never where the pin is and Ive tried the X thing and cant get that to work. I use a locker and its never right on those coords. I put GM mining on the toon.ya but thats T-hunting not the event.
your trying to hobble through a profession that most people who do have a dedicated player that does it and have the skills tailored to do it.
myself i can look at a map (or put in the Davies Locker) and go to the site and usually hit the chest on the first hit.
but sometimes it take s a bit - even with GM mining.
a lot of it is being able to figure out that damn pin on the map.
the treasure is not where the pin goes into the ground, its not even where the big red bulb on the end of the pin is.
you have to draw an imaginary line from the base of the pin and go to the right, then another down from the red part of the pin.
where those meet is where the chest is.
why they couldnt put the chest where the pin actually is is anyone's guess.
Who knows, maybe for stage 3 we'll have to fish up something special!
Add another person for that request @PooI dont understand where you draw lines on the pin like you say. Can you post a pic in CC. TY
Yes. Party before you dig the map. I have had people help me with Zippy maps. The T hunter parties me before they dig. Once they open the chest you all have access. They would unparty and leave the loot to me. Don't close the chest.Ok I am asking some out of the box stuff so get the torches out!
Can you party and do these things? If my friend uses my locker, to decode can he dig it up and I help kill? same for the trader quest. Can we party he get the order I help kill but not loot anything and he get his chest back?
Anyone else getting "You must defeat the guardians of the chest before you can open it" even though all of the guardians are dead.... :/
You have to kill the Pyramid thing on top of the Box. Physical damage seems to do it in.... takes a while though... AI Cu makes quick work of it if the AI hits fairly often.I get that same exact message. I made sure I got the Yearning for adventure? Huge treasure map sale! Then I went to Jhelom provisoners and scrolled through the guys dialog. Then I went to Hythloth and killed gargoyles and balrons and got few maps. Ive done two level 5 maps with no way of opening the chest, tried regular picks, master picks, and unlock spell, only get I must kill guardens first. The lower level maps I can do cause I can open those chest with the unlock spell.
I would like to know if any one else has opened up a level 5 new map?
omg!! thank you for the response KinslayerYou have to kill the Pyramid thing on top of the Box. Physical damage seems to do it in.... takes a while though... AI Cu makes quick work of it if the AI hits fairly often.
I understand that I had one when I put it in the Davies Locker gave me coords and the map picture was 3 screens away which is where i found itAs for maps not lining up, here's a classic example. The entire pin is to the left of or above the river on Amoeba Island. The chest is on the land to the RIGHT of the river, SOUTH of the lowest point of the pin. ALL my maps are offset by AT LEAST that much (I've had maps on Moonglow, that were 2 full screen widths in the CC EAST of where the pin indicated - though the coordinates from the Davies Locker were correct.

Not quite - 71 for expert, 81 for adept, 91 for cleverNow you tell me
Just spent the last 2 days training cartography upto 75.7 so far.
Gonna try some maps after the Europa event tonight, hopefully 75 is enough to read Adept t-maps as i have 15 of them now....
Only works with Pinco's UI, not the default EC. In the defalt EC you cannot zoom in on the tmap, only the game map. Just for info.If your using EC, once you're in general area of the part of the world where the treasure is, open the t map and zoom it to fill up the screen, open the game map centered on player and zoom it to the same size and compare them side by side for landmarks. The EC maps are very exact and require 0 mining
has anyone else noticed when you dig up the Oblesky thing, right when it pops the Guardians a ray shoots out the top to the heavens.
have ya noticed it is different colors?
ive seen white, fire, blue and green so far.
thought that was interesting.
also, i went to all 3 dungeons and pulled 4 maps from each.
loot was the same for all 3, mix of all the items listed above.
so no need to do all 3 dungeons.
Thanks, it was a choice between "Like" or "Report"Good job there Carebear Cookie!
Naah, just kidding , good that you stepped over your initial discontent, joined in the fun and admit that as well.
As for the location of the tmaps, we always concluded, look where the pin enters the land on the map, then just a bit right/East of it. We never use coords, just the visual of the map (in CC)...
When I talk about greed and corruption in Trammel, you guys are completely exempted of course, one of the lights in the game.I emptied my Davies Locker on Europa at New Player House and set it to public if people want to put their decoded maps there to get coordinates . Just remember to remove the maps so noone else nicks them!
Hey,One map that has worked has been two screens over from the pin. Part two has been nothing but pancakes. I can't do the tmaps, and have wasted several hours. The maps do not mark the location. I'm about done with this crap.
A lot of people have a Davies Locker set for public use. Have a run around Luna on your shard, I bet you'd find one.Unless you don't have a Davis Locker....
Try again. Problem solved.Unless you don't have a Davis Locker....

Just a follow up on my progress 71 cart the first night, took 2.5 hours and some scrolls, second night I trained mining to 51 in under 20 minutes. At this level of skill I was able to pull 5 chests from expert maps in little under an hour. The mining made a HUGE difference.Try and get mining on your template if you can, use Davies Locker and write down the rough co-ords, go there, use a sextant, and mark the corners with bandages, you cant go far wrong then.
