Patch 2.1 Notes for Treasure Hunts

Andromeda · Dec 14, 2013

The treasure feature added will include both battle classes and gathering classes. Gathering classes will find maps that the battle classes will then use to locate treasure and fight the monsters. There are 5 ranks of maps. Maps can be sold so long as they have not been activated. Rank 5 maps will require a party, so it is important to remember when running it. Locating maps by the gather will be limited to once every 18 hours.

Treasure Hunt has been added.

In the course of gathering, Disciples of the Land will now be able to obtain items known as timeworn maps. These maps can then be used to reveal the location of hidden treasures.
