* Players now have a harvesting skill gain check on each harvest attempt while using a Resource Map (Ore Map, Lumber Map, Fishing Map, Skinning Map)
''"Found as loot on creatures and in chests, Resource Maps yield Lumber, Ore, Skins, and Fish. They must be deciphered in the same manner as with Treasure Maps, with a Cartographer. Their skill, coupled with the quality of Spyglass they use, will yield a map of varying degree of accuracy. Your individual Gathering skill (Lumberjacking, Mining, Fishing, Forensics) will determine how close you need to be to the actual gathering spot in order to find it. (Note: Fishing Resource maps will always be land-based, you will not need a boat)."''
* Resource Maps are no longer affected by the 60 second harvesting lockout resulting from recalling/gating/hiking/moongate travel
* Players can now find Plant Seeds when harvesting from Resource Maps, with resulting rarity levels significantly higher than Plant Seeds discovered while doing "basic" harvesting
* Players now have a chance to loot rare resource-hued items from Resource Maps, such as Verite Lanterns, Valorite Runebook Dyes, Avarite Carpet Dyes, Gold Hair Dyes, etc
* The hue of the rare item will correspond to the specific resource of the map used; players harvesting from Verite Ore Maps / Verewood Lumber Maps / Verehide Skinning maps will potentially get green items (labled as Verite) whereas players harvesting from Copper / Copperwood / Copperhide maps will get tan-colored maps (labeled as Copper)
* In the case of Fishing Maps (which has no Resource type), a randomized resource will be chosen for it

Deciphering a Resource Map
Deciphering a Resource Map requires the Cartography skill and a Spyglass
Double-click the Spyglass and target the Resource Map
Spyglasses gain a higher accuracy and success chance when crafted with better quality and materials
Click the gem to begin Deciphering a map
Once it has been deciphered, a map with the estimated location will appear
