In Theory...can solve a treasure map with a cartography map right?

Recommended Posts

Ok so my alt has this really awful 26ql treasure map.

I know where Maple Hollow is, it's here (Red Circle)

The map key is clear as mud and the colours don't seem to match but I think I got the tundra right.

After spending a day searching the tundra for likely spots and failing.

I thought well we have cartography now maybe doing some surveys and maps might help with figuring out the treasure map, in theory...

So spent 2 days doing 4 surveys of the area for 4 maps

Some nice maps at 25ql but no, doesn't help with figuring out the treasure map.

In the maple forest which means the key colours for the treasure map are wrong because maple is listed as the darkest green on the key.

In an effort to get a cartography map of the final area and to compare that to the treasure map, I went back and did a final survey. (26ql treasure map, 25ql cartography map.)

Make of that what you will, I think in some circumstances a cartography map could help decipher a treasure map...maaybe.

Intresting...

Bumping this topic to hopefully get some comments from staff.

That was a tough treasure map you got there, Haillah. Usually, there are more identifiable features on them, making them easier to locate. What I use to solve treasure maps is the community map from this forum. I find it much easier to match a treasure map with the community map. Granted, I only tried treasure hunting on Celebration, so I am not sure if the other servers' community maps help, but for me the Cele one does. And I really like the comparing game. Best part of treasure hunting for me.
