Resource Maps
Summary
- 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)
- 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
