UO Second Age

This was implemented this morning, any maps can take you to GM.
Treasure maps also no longer have a "trivial" level, so it's possible to gain decoding them until GM as well.
The overall skill gain difficulty on cartography has been revised to compensate for these easements.

thank you derrick =)

Do creatures spawned from treasure maps no longer have a chance of dropping additional t-maps or have I just been unlucky lately?

I dug a level on 11/18/13 and can confirm with 94.7 LP and 0 Detect I could not open the box.

To add, the following spawned;

3 Poison Elementals
2 Dread Spiders
2 Elder Gazers

I thought more should have spawned with the chest?

Thanks!

7 monsters sounds about right. I didn't think you could get dread spiders on lvl 5 chests, but I guess that's my memory failing me.

Anyway, these posts were made in 2009, a lot has changed since then. I suggest reading: the wiki article on cartography and a guide I wrote on treasure hunting.
