Treasure Map
Description
Treasure Maps show the location of where a Treasure Chest is buried. The maps require Cartography skill to decode at which point it will no longer say it is tattered but will display the location of the buried treasure chest. They can be obtained from various creatures as listed below.
A map may decoded by another person, but the person digging up the map must still have the minimum required Cartography skill for the level of treasure map. Mining skill helps but is not required. To dig for a map, left click on the map and then click "Dig for Treasure" - This will allow you to remain mounted and escape swiftly if the going gets tough!
All treasure chests are trapped and Remove Trap skill will take care of it, but the skill is not required as many players simply cast Telekinesis on the chest to trigger the trap from a safe distance of five or more steps away.
A high skill level in Lockpicking is useful as it vastly reduces the number of lockpick attempts required to open a chest.
Mining skill is not required to dig up a treasure chest. However, the higher a character's Mining skill, the further away from the exact spot they can be when attempting to dig up the chest. With no Mining skill, the digger must be directly on the correct spot where the chest is buried. See Cartography
In combination with a rune library of treasure map locations, this map http://www.uoforever.com/map.php will help you find the hidden treasures!

Loot & Spawns
All monsters that spawn with the digging of the chest or spawn from looting items from within the chest are subject to becoming Paragons which can significantly increase the difficulty of the treasure map. Keep these Paragon chances in mind before attempting a map level based on the listed monsters below, but also keep in mind that Paragons of the monsters can drop a Paragon Chest which has a guaranteed treasure map inside!
In addition to to the listed gold, magic items, reagents and gems, treasure map chests also have a chance to contain:
- Wands - a very high chance for Item Identification Wands
- RDA Fragments - The higher the map, the greater the chance. Note that these portal fragments share the same graphic ID as star sapphires but have a different Color Hue (1161).
- Meta Talisman Crumbling Relics or Meta Pet Crumbling Relics - Up to 20% drop chance at Level 7
- Mythical Crafting Recipes - Level 7 Tmaps only but 100% chance to drop!
- Dimensional Archway Dye deed - Level 7 Tmaps only
