General Discussion - How to get high level maps? - Forum

Seems kinda dumb that you even have to use your own currency to craft maps that won't give you anything good anyway. If at anything, maps allow you to get base ilvl items that otherwise wouldn't be found in regular zones based on their level, if you check the prefixes and suffixes pages listed below you'll see that some mods cannot be rolled on gear that you'd find in 62 Docks or 63 Lunaris Temple. The only way to find these base items is via higher leveled maps. http://www.pathofexile.com/item-data/prefixmod http://www.pathofexile.com/item-data/suffixmod	Posted by Elynole on Feb 25, 2013, 11:08:07 AM Alpha Member Quote this Post

I did a Dried Lake map with very simple mods on it left with 3 maps. Did one of the arcade maps and left with a total of 6 in my inventory including 3 lvl 68 maps. What I'm trying to say is; it is completely RNG. Last edited by Valderino on Feb 25, 2013, 11:58:27 AM	Posted by Valderino on Feb 25, 2013, 11:58:08 AM Quote this Post
" it is completely RNG. That´s true. I experienced that myself. Had Streaks of 3 Maps without a Map-Drop and had Maps with 3 Map-Drops. But that´s not the Problem. The Problem is, that even if you run an insane Number of Maps, you hardly get access to the real endgame-content. Randomness is already inculded in this Calculation. Knowing that there is a lvl 77 Endgame while the Chance to get even near to it, lets say lvl 72 Maps, is already zero, is a Joke.
