50 level 1 treasure maps

[AreYouKidden]

Final Recap:

Just a reminder:
https://www.uoforum.com/threads/treasure-hunting-with-efficiency.98441/
there are links to steam macros and such in there for ID and sort.

Update for those keeping track:

• These tests were done using 50 maps as the basis.

Assumptions:

• I adjusted the minutes / map based on my findings as a provo / mage
• if you are using a tamer, you are much more effective on the higher level maps
• if you have a Davies locker, you can get multiples of the same location and increase gold/hour
• minutes / map is also based on using a macro to loot your chest
• doesn't include the additional frags you may find - consider them a bonus

Results:

• Level 1 maps: 3,468 / map (2.5 minutes / map) 83k / hour
• Level 2 maps: 7,599 / map (5 minutes / map) 91k / hour
• Level 3 maps: 13,412 / map (8.5 minutes / map) 95k / hour
• Level 4 maps: 20,061 / map (12 minutes / map) 100k / hour (found 2 frags on 50 maps)
• Level 5 maps: 33,500 / map (15 minutes / map) 134k / hour* (found 4 frags on 50 maps)
• Level 6 maps: 71,000 / map (25 minutes / map) 170k / hour* (found 5 frags on 50 maps)

*With level 5 & 6 maps the drop rates on portal frags are noticeably higher, as well the drop rate on vanqs seems to go up quite a bit. There are significantly more items to process as well, so takes a bunch of time after you've done the actual map to realize those profits.

And you have to remember with lvl 5s going for 15k per and 6s going for 25/30k per while 1234s going for 500 1k 2k and 4k your actual profit will be dependent on price you paid... Great conclusion

Just finished 28 lvl four maps made 550k and got four portal frags

nice grab Nappaca!

@batman That's a good point, on lvel 6's doing 2.4 maps, you're going to basically be making 100k / hour, with level 5 maps, it's going to drop to around 75k / hour, and level 4's, about 80k / hour. If you can manage level 6's they are teh most profitable, but if not, it seems like level's 1-5 are really about even at the 75-80k / hour, so it all depends on how much you like portal frags, which seem to drop at a higher rate on higher level maps..

Theres no way to absolutely guarantee any lvl map value.. But with that said the benefits of doing a lvl 6 compared to a 5 ( etc lvl down) .. Has the potential to being huge.. Portals, paragon chest, taming scrolls etc is more likely with a 6
But with that said this is a hella great guide and will help new and old thunters for yrs

figured I'd bump this thread of gold for any newer players or those just getting into maps
