So we have these pyrats everyday trying to invade Graal City from the East, yet none of them seem to be carrying any treasure maps! You would think that surely their must be treasure hidden deep within the soils of Classic, and these pyrats have the maps to lead you there! So here is my idea.

If you haven't grasped it by now, treasure maps. I feel these would be a great addition to Classic, and it could go along something like this:

How would you acquire treasure maps?
- Baddies drop them, not just pyrats but slimes, normal baddies etc.
- Buy them from an NPC? Those pyrats sitting in the bar must surely have some knowledge regarding treasure... for the right price of course.

You have the treasure map, now what?
- So you have the treasure map and it's in your inventory, tap it onto one of your two shortcut keys and tap it ingame, it will either:
- Show you a riddle, the answer being an NPC, a specific location etc.
- Tell you that perhaps you need to bribe someone else for the second phase of treasure hunting.
- Co ordinates or the map of Classic with an X somewhere.

(Of course, that's not just it, there would be 5 - 10 steps you may have to accomplish before it actually leads you to the treasure)

You found the chest, what could be inside?
- Gralats obviously, it could range from 1 - 1000. RNG gods choice.
- Hats/Items, rare obviously, something along the lines of the slime boss (3 hats, a range of mounts though you have to be lucky to acquire one)
- Nothing! The chest is empty, and after all that effort you're just unlucky.

So what i'm getting at here is that the reward is a gamble, it may take a while before you find the chest only too see it's nothing, or it could be a 10 minute treasure map that leads to a shiny new hat.

Something else I'd like to add is that you can only have 1 treasure map at a time, and should be quite difficult to acquire.

Well, that's my idea. What do you think? I'll try to address any loopholes you can find, thanks.  

I have an idea for treasure maps, but it would be to basically show you a very small screenshot of the overworld.

Like this:
 

I LIKE THIS STUFF!!!!


free items  

I like to think of this as a future quest system, or a second daily quest but every 4 hours instead of another day, i dont like the rare hats and etc. then everyone would have old hats, and lots of players dont like that idea  

if the chests hold items instead of gralats it would be better if it was weekly or monthly i think  

That's a good idea. I like Duty's thoughts as well. A screenshot would require a thorough search. It could even be a combination of a screenshot and a small hint that doesn't give too much away like "Distant from building structures."  

FHUFURIEIEISKSKEKD FFFUFUUUUUUUUU I CAN'T SPREAD REP!!!! WHY!


Good post though best idea I've seen in this subforum in forever  

Pfft content other than hats good one  

Good idea but with the amount of work it would take I dont think it would be produced any time soon :/

This isnt true. They have a lot of similar traits of this idea in the game. The only thing they really need is a way to show the map fullscreen

OT:
Some ideas I have are that you need to use your shovel or maybe a lantern to bur the overgrowth. Maybe a lock picking set from the hoarder near sards? (He does steal)

Some map(s) require many pieces. This could be the single player quest.you woud have to do a bunch of mini jobs to get the pieces (lock picin  

That's a good idea. I think, that's possible. Or pyrates should drop keys that open ones of their chests, they have a lot at their cave.

Or the captain put us on an island that has the chest  

The pirates would only drop keys , you thenhave to buy maps and find ur treasures and use the keys to open them maybe when you find the chest it goes in ur inventory an then you can put in inside ur house and open it of you have a key !!
Also maybe there would be more expensive maps that would have a higher reward ratting but longer to complete  

i dont want to spend money on maps
