I was under the assumption that lower tier maps were between the 66-68 range, basically maps to get you started on the whole map system before making it sustainable. I was making blues and rerolling them until I got +25% quality. I made a decently sized 66-68 pool, and I'm working on 69+ now. I just want to know if what I was doing was okay in terms of currency spent on lower tier maps. Don't want to waste too much if I'm not getting a proper return.

I've been using 1 transmute + 1.5 alterations on average on 67+. I feel like I get back plenty on chaos recipes but most of all it increased the map return. It's not a huge investment imo considering I've got maybe 2ex in just chaos and a lightning coil to sell, and I am barely hitting 71s.

huge thx to the op for taking the time to do thid posr . ive found it immensely helpful

This is awesome,thank you sir!

I don't want to sound like a jerk or something, but you should update the main post with some explanations to certain maps, and adding the new unique maps to each respective map pool (coresponding to each map level).


But wow, otherwise, great work! This helped me a lot get into maps, knowing about each map, the mobs that may spawn on it and small info about the boss(es).

Nah, that's fine. I've just been busy. A lot of the older maps also need to be adjusted. For instance, Bazaar is no longer amazing and Plateau has been moved up a notch.

I'll add in all the new stuff this weekend. I should be free then.

You aren't doing anything wrong really. It just depends on whether you intend to buy maps or not. If that is an acceptable notion to you then your expenditure is relative to the value of maps in trade chat. Does that make sense?

For low maps in a new league, I just make them "runnable". If it isn't rippy then I do it - the exception is 66/67 maps since 66 maps are quite literally free from running Lunaris 3.

My best source of maps are strongboxes. Everytime I am trying to roll rare box with mirrored items. Today I was superlucky and after only 1 chaos I got this:



I think, that this is the best combination what you can get for cartographer strongbox. Result after openining was this:



So from 75 map I gained:
- 2x 77 white maps
- 4x 76 rare maps, 136% and 123%
- 2x 72 white maps

And what is funny, unique item dropped too. I dont know how could it drop :D, maybe bug?

Think 66-71 is done. Working on 71+. I've included all maps up until Atziri but they're pending some detail update, more notably information on Death and Taxes as well as Olmec's Sanctum + some of the 76-79 maps.

Your efforts are much appreciated. You've probably saved me a hundred deaths, and the corresponding XP losses ("Forewarned is forearmed"), not to mention the currency unwasted.

The update is going to be fantastic, but I would hazard the comment that this is the rare OP that still maintains its usefulness even though it is a year and a half old.

Again, thank you, from the bottom of my map pool.

This thread is amazing. I've been using it since I started playing last year, thanks for letting us know so much Lyralei! You're the best

Thank you, Lyralei!
The OP is really very useful and one can see you put loads of effort into it.

I use this guide almost on a daily basis but never posted to say thanks, so thank you very much for the guide, Lyralei!

Also, how do you format the OP so colorful and nice? I've been trying with what I remember of BBCode and it doesn't seem to work lol
